Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Freak]

With all of the hype and good word of mouth behind the new Resident Evil game, I’m surprised they’re apparently not doing it this year. The new game could’ve made for a baller house!

I’m even more surprised considering we had two video game-based IPs last year and now we’re not having any this year….well Hellraiser will be video game adjacent but I don’t think it will be based on the game.

Evil Dead Burn could probably make for a good house but again I’m really surprised they aren’t hopping in the Resident Evil train this year. You would think this would be the time to do it.

I hear ya, but I don't think either of those IPs happen without the successful movie / TV shows that accompanied them.

I mean… when houses are locked months before games come out, it’s extremely difficult to plan around the response to a game or film. It’s one of the reasons why a film like Sinners doesn’t end up at HHN the year it came out but instead the following year.

Oh I understand that. I know I said that the new game could make for a good house, but even then, you would think Universal would still want to base the house on the older material at least. There’s already a lot to work with.

Thus, I digress.

Has anyone discussed a video game IP zone?

I could see Resident Evil next year depending on how the Cregger movie does

While I can agree with that, there's just one snag. Anything I've heard about that film is they really let Cregger take as much creative liberties as possible...so it's not really resembling Resident Evil at this point.

Eh. From what I was seeing, it’s basically a new story in the Resident Evil universe. He’s not trying to retell a story from the games. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Also, the story of the resident evil games, is, uh, not very good. I'm sure as long as they include some of the iconic elements like the licker or Umbrella, then it'll be fine.

I was going to say, taking the vibe of the games and jettisoning everything else can only be positive.
