    Fun Fact: Up until RE Code Veronica, RE games used real weapons and weapon names in game, ie in RE2 the VP70 is actually called a VP70 and Code Veronica even has Calico M-100s in it. Capcom stopped doing this because firearm manufacturers started caring about licensing/ royalties in games once they realized video games were getting big and they could make a lot money, similar thing with MGS series, after MGS4 Konami didn't want to pay royalties.

      @minmogrovingstrongandhealthy Před rokem +11

      The names were made up however some weapons included legit names in the item description, only the ones that could. It's a legality, with other words they played with legal rights, we can't name these as they are inrl but we can describe them bla bla bla to the point new rules came up and they had to follow up each time. Also to the point where they rather drop everything and just make up everything to avoid it all.
      Handcannon was described as a 50 cal Magnum. List goes on. They never used the actual name for the weapons, but codenames. And some had mentions in descriptions. I think even official guides never had the real names even in description. Just the type of weapon and that is all which again isnt the same thing.
      Plenty of plagiat manufacturers in real life just make up a fake brand name and go with it, not everything needs to be real, after all this a video game, it's fiction and should be treated as such so roll with this mindset.

It uses 9mm parabellum rounds" or "Browning HP. Manufactured by FN, Belgium.

Kinda like how in OG MW1 the R700 was a Remington 700 (don't need license to put an R in front of 700). Though they do have Ithaca M37 which has the only fully spelled out brand name (Dragunov doesn't count), not sure if they got rights for Ithaca, would be cheaper than a big brand like H&K. That being said, off memory at least, only RE1 actually spells out the full brand name, "Berretta M92FS", so RE5 is good in this regard for an RE game

    IIRC the VP70 in burst has a 2200 round per minute rate of fire, so it pops off those 3 rounds in roughly 1/12th of a second. If someone is standing about 30 meters (99 feet) away, the 3rd round will have discharged by the time the sound from the 1st reaches them... It's honestly a little mind-boggling that they actually made a pistol that could cycle at that speed... Long story short, the sound of discharge is so stacked together it almost seems like 1 shot that stutters briefly.

    You are correct about the observation you made about the CQBRs grip looking larger than normal and there is a reason for that. Capcom has worked with the Japanese Airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Marui since Resident Evil 2. They have helped with modeling the guns for the game by providing reference models and scans of their airsoft rifles and even make RE themed versions of the guns. That being said an airsoft AEG AR/M4 platform guns house an electric motor in the grip making the grip larger/wider than a normal grip. My guess is they used a Tokyo Marui CQBR and modeled the gun as it came out of the box.

Though turning off the easy reload this time might give Jonathan more to chew on since it makes reloading a bit more realistic. Also, taking time to look at how the different parts of the guns are modelled could be a fun deep dive seeing as the non-modded weapons in particular have all their visible moving parts modelled and animated.

Because not only do you want good maneuverability when you're caught in close quarters, but also very, VERY few of your enemies are going to be wearing any kind of body armor.

Assuming the gameplay video was just the gun as it was purchased from the Merchant, it's 5 upgrades away from its more realistic rate of fire.

    @1:51 There's another possibility with that recoil could be something related to an added mechanic in the gameplay. Some sources claim that based on the player's health, if it's either not at 100% or below a certain %, that it can impact the player's ability to steadily aim and fire and add increased sway and recoil. This sort of thing is kind of similar to some of the later Metal Gear Solid games if the player's Psyche/Stamina is below 50%.

    In regards to the timeline, Resident Evil 2 & 3 took place in Fall of 1998. RE4 is a direct continuation and takes place only a few years after the prior two games in numerical order. So, that being said, the placement of some guns like the model of AR-15 are actually pretty accurate. It's also the reason that Ashley's phone which you can find is a big, chunky flip phone as opposed to a modern smart phone.

    @14:44 Even in the original 05' RE4 I sorta got the same vibes from the design of Killer 7 magnum as I did from the S.T.I. Eagle 6.0 Carlos Oliveira uses in RE3 Mercenaries Mode. The design structures of both appear to be derived off of a 1911 base, not sure what kind of laser sight scope or optics the S.T.I. Eagle in RE3 had but of course it was just a 9mm handgun with a faster fire rate and higher chance of Crit hits than the Sigpro or M92F, it wasn't chambered for magnum bullets.

    Shearing off the sights was also done to the Swedish AK4, a G3 clone, when converting them to the AK4b pattern which replaced the sights with a red-dot optical. This modification of the MP5 seems to be similar but it's odd that there's no actual sight mounted on the picatiny.

    The series prior to the original resident evil 4, the series used the real life names for most of thier weaponry.
    In leon's first appearnce in resident evil 2 he started off with the HK VP70, with the ability to add the stock for the three round burst fire as his basic handgun. It's rebranded name "Matilda" is a reference to the Movie Leon: The Professional.

      Masterful remake of a masterpiece. Knocked it out of the park. Capcoms remake team are getting toward legendary status and I think we're gonna be looking back at what they're doing here as influential on the quality of remakes in future.
      It's amazing how they balance cutting edge graphics and modernisation while preserving the soul of the original. A rare feat achieved several times in a row now, even if 3 was slightly underwhelming.

      I was going in with mild expectations knowing how much was cut from RE2/3make, but it actually preserves almost everything while adding new stuff just like they said. I’ll miss cutscene QTEs personally but I’m probably unpopular with that view. I think the cutscenes up to the castle are pretty lackluster in setting up the story versus the original (One of my favorite buildups is the villagers holding back and being crushed by the first el gigante before you fight him but they just start the fight now with him breaking out on his own, things like that) picking up a lot more mid castle where I am. I also realllly don’t like the merchant now because he spouts out like seven lines just for checking any menu and never shuts up, but guess it’s just a live with it situation.
      Gameplay wise I think it plays great, had to constantly be finding optimal areas to begin fighting back without being cornered and the slightly slower run speed can make it tense. The weapon storage at typewriters was a bit of a concern but since they changed resell value based on your upgrades, it encourages using the other weapons a lot more rather than just what you’ve been upgrading since the start. What I really don’t like about the gameplay is the added charms to the attache case basically being generic video game passives like -1 gunpowder use and 8% RUNNING SPEED. It feels really weird to randomly get charms that would make my experience entirely different from someone else. Could not use them and be totally fine…. But you could also just not use anything if you wanted to. Odd decision to add random bonus perks from a gacha machine in the shooting range. Another problem I have with the gameplay is how hilariously easy it is to break when you get the crafting for flash grenades. They’re very strong in this game since encounters start spamming plagas heads and take the same slots that you used the resource for anyways, so they’re just absurdly op.

      I think it’s the same as the original game as well where the handgun was or at least was based of the VP70 and the Matilda parts could be found to upgrade it. I remember you needing to aim down too so all three shots hit the target but up close
