it just doesn't make sense. in the original the accident happened a couple weeks before the STARS entered the mansion so it makes sense that everything is in working order. a little dusty but fine because people used to live there. but, apparently, the mansion went from perfectly fine living space to abandoned haunted mansion with broken windows, rotted doors, massive spider webs and wilted plants everywhere in those same couple weeks.

Can the plants in the mansion survive for two weeks without water? You wouldn't water the plants while everyone was turning into a zombie.

Where is the food and water then? Where is anything really, there's barely any furniture or drawers for clothes and things. This nitpick is retarded when the original game is actually less immersive in this regard.

The remake is a fucking joke that completely butchers the tone of the game. The fact that the extra area they added is a fucking graveyard should tell you how determined they were in going as fucking far into spooky cliche gothic as possible.

[Anonymous No.10414237]

are you all this retarded to the lore of the series
it isn't about how long from umbrella incident to STARS response, everyone already knows the mansion was only a front for the laboratory
Nobody took care of the rest of the house because the one old man that actually lived there with intent to keep it clean had stopped caring as soon as it was built, in the 1960s. It was designed to resemble Spencer's actual family house, but be full of traps for people investigating who didn't belong to umbrella. They had no reason to keep it clean and in the mad search for power from the 70's onward, the reason for it being built mattered a lot less until Wesker thought he could use it to kill the STARS team to keep them from preventing a bioterrorism attack
>buh buh anon people LIVED there
They had some umbrella workers stay in the guest rooms but most stayed in the guard house, if umbrella says shut up and just work in the lab and leave the rest to disarray as it had been for years, then you do so. It didn't just fall out of repair in 1997 suddenly and it wasn't made to look in disrepair

Yea we know.
It's more than a nitpick, it's an objective mistake
and it encompasses the entire game.
Something this dead wrong should be hard to ignore
but it isn't. It's very easy to ignore because the game is that good.
The original is still better.

The mansion was a cover, but people still had to work and live in it. That's why the kitchen was in use and one of the elevators still worked, in addition to guards being present there.
The mansion is designed to do this
>Someone breaks in through the front door
>All doors are locked except for ones that dead end
>only way to unlock more is to kill yourself with puzzles
And hopping a fence just leads you to the boiler, which dead ends with a locked steel door.

And what is worse: there are more than 1 graveyard . One is behind the main hall and the other is close to lisa hideout. Is like in the remake they had a death fetish or a graveyard fetish or something.

Calling it "cut" is a slight exageration. There is no evidence it ever left the concept stage. At least for something like the Doll Room, the name of the room is still present in some prototype versions which is a stronger clue that it existed in the game at one point, but there is no such thing for the graveyard.

[Anonymous No.10420186]

RE1fags just need to accept that if the technology was ready in the early-mid 90s when RE1 was being developed, REmake 1 is what we would have gotten in 1996. REmake is literally textbook definition "the tech just wasn't there for the original release". REmake 1 represents the developers original intentions, had the technology been there in the 90s. You have to accept reality and stop coping. "Disney haunted mansion" is, quite literally, the developers original intentions.

The first game was oddly plausible in it's story and worldbuilding. An incompetent medical company accidentally letting a virus leak out? Zombies that don't seem like perpetual motion machines? The boss isn't some random dude who grew into an 9-foot-tall glob of tentacles? It kept things as realistic as a game was expected to be. Then the sequels happened and all that changed.

>a low-budget movie, especially (formerly) one made for use as a companion to the main attraction in a double feature.
It has nothing to do with fame or success, and everything to do with budget and intent. Texas Chainsaw and Dawn of the Dead were made for $300,000 and $640,000 respectively, both being considered low budget fare in the 1970's. Both films were box office successes on release but their major impact was as staples of midnight cinema and double features. While Tobe Hooper went on to direct bigger budget fare, Romero would largely stick to low budget, indie productions. And Dario Argento, the co-producer of Dawn was basically the Schlock King of Italy.
