It goes without saying that the eighth numbered installment is high on my radar of 2021 releases.  After the first half-hour demo, I&#8217;m already sold &#8211; though I was buying this day one either way.  Tomorrow will be the second timed demo and I endeavor to check it out.  Again, it doesn&#8217;t matter; I&#8217;m buying it when it comes out in two weeks.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of those intimate relationships with a franchise you have when you get to my age.  My experience with the franchise dates back 25 years &#8211; to when I was a mere 20 years old.  In that time, it&#8217;s moved up to <a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/archives\/1979\">#4 on my best gaming franchises lists<\/a>.  In the end, <b>REVIII<\/b> is gonna be great.  If all goes well, I&#8217;ll beat it in standard form before progressing to a speedrun.  Of course, we&#8217;ll see, but I&#8217;m tremendously excited about this release.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resident Evil Remake in 2002, Resident Evil 4 in 2005 and Resident Evil VII in 2017.
