How Does Lady Dimitrescu Work Off Camera Resident Evil 8 Village

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Previously we've taken a look at how both MR X from RE2 Remake and Nemesis from RE3 Remake work off camera. So after many requests, I think it's about time we took a look at one of the new villains from the series. It is of course Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village!

Amazing explanation how this works, thank you 🌱 all the times i met her in the castle, i've literally bumped into her butt because when i opened the doors she stood there 🤣 once she hit me so hard that I fell under the map and sometimes i followed her to see what she was doing or i shoot at her face, then hid by the Duke with the door open and watched how she stood there and waited for me to get out 😂😂😂😂 long story short I had a lot of fun with Lady D. I be honest shes much better than Mr X who just straight have me anxiety 🥺
isn't that the point to make you anxious and fearful? lol
That's why Mr. X is so frightening. In a horror game, that's a pretty good character.

Lady D "Bring me his head" Ethan "I have no head"
Lmfao made my day
hE HaS anOThER sET Of hEAD
Yeah, his dicc head
@@TWELVE-TAILS maybe she wants the D
@@RudyCantGame probably, but I wouldn't ever trust a vampire with my "head" LOL
The smirk she makes when Ethan gets dragged into the room is such a nice detail. You can’t even see her face and they still made her smirk
I think they mocap a lot of the cutscene animations to make the movements seem more realistic, as well as the facial expression. Dmc5 uses the same engine and has fantastic facial animations.
@@TheBluePhantom Well, of course they did. That's why Ethan literally stays up ang quickly gets into the T-pose after soldiers drag him out of this house in the beginning. Like you don't see it, but it's there because the actor did it. And the whole game is like that - there is a decent amount of such working moments when actors do something out of the frame because the developers didn't cut off their animations and it made it to the final game. Same with Alcina's face - the actress Maggie Robertson was smirking, so does Alcina now
@@TheBluePhantom Not even that, this is common animation stuff. Simple stuff like eye and mouth movement can make a big difference. It's a lot easier to animate the entire thing even if you just see the back for part of it then figure out exactly where it's seen by the camera. Like yes you could figure out the exact frame, but thats a lot of back and forth between a normal view and camera view, and without looking at it rendered can also change things, since even a cheekbone not being seen moving slightly can break the immersion.
Source I'm a student learning 3D animation and this is what we were taught. Animate it so it looks good in all directions even if you can only see 1 view point.
Yes, thank God.
Timestamp?
The amount of times Ethan gets picked up and thrown in this game is ridiculous.
Pick up and thrown is the classic trope used by an enemy that can literally kill you in one hit once it grabs you if it wants to.
I mean she is (and others) are extremely powerful. It’s a trope but it’s also a showing of power. I knew he was invincible so to speak before the end tho
yep
Now we know how manlets feel 😢
It's called playing with your food.

I was pretty disappointed, that such an interesting villain, has so little time in the game itself. Especially since she was a major marketing point.
agree with your first point but I think they didn't expected that much her success. They just had market the first boss to left the other being discover by the player.

@@Rags666 fish guy?
@@theflashgordon193 well yeah. It is sad. She should have been main villain. Sad they didn’t made some dlcs with her

Look Slippy has put Ethan through a lot. He doesn't even have a head anymore. He's had a rough time okay.

Mr. X > Lady Dimitrescu > Nemesis.
Mr. X - looks and searches every where possible.
Lady Dimistrescu - loops around in limited areas, sort of searches.
Nemesis - teleportation, slings around. spidey senses.
you forgot abt Nemesis loot boxes
Hehe.
Weirdly enough I think the sort of searches matches her character, like I think she thinks she is too good to look for you so she let's her daughters do it, and when she sees you by chance she is like oh hey I am going to cut you now. I think I notice when you kill one daughter she starts to speed up a bit and searches a bit more but not sure.
@@randomclod385 no

This is the one time I actually hope the game devs make an overpriced cash grab DLC. Lady Dimitrescu is too fun of a character.
I mean hopefully they make a DLC anyway without it being overpriced haha but I agree she’s a really well written character
I'm with you. But I also kinda really want a "Team up with Heisenberg" DLC too
@@sailorV124 lol why does everyone keep insisting that teaming up with heisenberg is a good idea. It's a terrible idea. he makes it very obvious that he'll betray ethan and take Rose away from him the moment they beat Miranda.
Even ethan was smart enough to figure it out the first time.
@@surferOS101 you can’t do this to me

shes too human which makes her less scary

The game designers work soo hard! hats off to them
Honestly it is kind of a let down. Watch a video on the AI in the Alien from Alien Isolation. It is much more complex and impressive. The designers of Resident Evil should use a much more complex AI considering it's such a big part of the games.
@@LK-em1bv a more "complex" ai doesnt make it better. the ai is good enough for me and i assume most players. it serves its purpose. i do love alien isolation more though
Pun!
@@LK-em1bv the thing is, a game can't have all the aspects. If a game ticks all the pros, well, it would be too expensive to produce. Another point where they didn't put a lot of time is shooting mechanics. Shooting in resident evil is terrible compared to competitive shooters.
But it's a different genre, doesn't need good shooting or ultra smart AI, resident evil was and still is, all about storyline and storytelling.
@@LK-em1bv I honestly find the alien from Alien Isolation annoying, he always has a way to accurate range of your location or comes close to you whenever you make progress regardless of noise
5:17 this is because she is scripted to not follow you into that room, so when you pass a barrier I assume she loses aggro, but the barrier is a bit too far before the door. Maybe because she used to hit the player in the back on the way through the door or would follow him through and then bug out if the barrier was any further into the doorway
I know this is a 4 month old comment but she is scripted that way only at the beginning. It’s because of Daniela bossfight (so Dimitrescu wouldn’t interfere during it). From what I know after you defeat Daniela and some time passes she can enter that area (And if you unlock the door), she will go back to the main hall from there.
@@imarkeu1637 can confirm, I tried to pass through the library to lockpick a drawer in the opera hall and she surprised me there.
2:37 this part is hilarious.
It’s even funnier at .25x speed
Realistically, I feel like her claw should have taken at least his whole arm off.
She's a samurai, only cuts with precision.
@@elly.a4153 lmaoo 🤣
Realism is thrown out of the window when designing a game
Elegance in all areas, even fighting
@@casmartle Precision. She managed to get them all to cut in the same area.
If you kill Cassandra before triggering the Cassandra come here scene it’s a different diolog which is pretty interesting you should check it out
Yes and also her placement in the main hall for those conversation will be different based on which location/door you enter to trigger the scene. If you came from upstairs, she will come from the dining room door. If you enter from dining room or side door of the hall, she'll be in the middle of the stairs saying her dialogue.
No wonder I didn't see that scene lol I was so confused
I've also never seen that cutscene either, I thought the game was scripted so you had to kill her 😅
slippy slides: watching lady D
ethan: *heavy breathing*
I always find it fascinating and creepy when game characters look at you through the walls.
Wow, her animations in the scene at 2:56 are really well done. That backhanded grab of Ethan without even looking was GREAT.
7:35 it's like Ethan's having an anxiety attack in the bg while Lady D straight up makes physics her BITCH
This was really cool to see. Is it possible to test how far she can "hear" gunshots, and how that affects her route? With this knowledge, how little would you have to be chased by her if you're speedrunning? Also, how do her daughters behave?
Hey I have been starting to speedrun re8 for a bit now and I can answer one question. Basically on the first boss fight she will start chasing you around. After you escape her and get the mask of sorrow, you can run over the the door with Dimitrescu key and then once you solve the piano puzzle, you will get the iron insignia key. She will spawn on your way to open the iron insignia door to get the 2nd daughter boss fight. So that's 1 time, and then she will spawn after you get the mask of rage from the rooftops and go in the elevator she will spawn on the stairs. she will also spawn outside the Marron Eye door for the last time when you have all the masks. So that's 3 times you have to deal with her when your speedrunning. :)
Also so if your talking about being actually chased and her not just spawning, surprisingly I've never had to deal with chasing me, all I remember is the 3 spawn points of her, she don't chase you apparently when you are running 50 mph trying to get the best time 😂
@@toffieeditz Yeah, I just meant how many times you would encounter her outside of the heavily scripted portions. Cool info!
Late but i was shooting the zombies in the courtyard and she appeared . I think she was attracted to the gunshots idk
No idea, but I'd expect her always being triggered by gunshots when she's loaded and on patrol mode.
6:56 That explains so much. I recall hanging out somewhere in the castle (can't remember where I was), but I heard her footsteps for a very long time with no variation. Sounded like she was walking in place. Turns out my ears did not deceive me after all. Great analysis.
5:28 she stares like that if you’re in a safe room and in between the door too
she's just our fitness queen and trying to get her steps in
10:59 looks cinematic if he just had his head
I love how she just looks at you at 5:20 like "You really just walked past me didnt you, you just HAD to ruin my moment"
I knew I could hear her walking in place, so her door wasn't loaded.
Expectation: Alien Isolation AI
Reality: Roller Coaster Tycoon AI
Alien Isolation, bro... UNDERRATED as f man! i was hoping so bad Creative Assembly would make another alien isolation :((
Such a shame they didnt market the game properly, it would have made such a good franchise.
@7:00 so that explains why I kept hearing her outside the save room just walking in that hall like she was just stuck there. Thought it was glitched out or something
the internet has been going wild over this character for a while now
Im pretty sure the internet has stopped simping Lady D cause of that Samsung girl.
@@TheJanvicgwaps I've never heard of samsung girl, still seeing tons of Lady D shit though. Not saying Samsung's isn't popular but people that don't play games heard of Lady D. It's not a real comparison.
@@theworstcatholic7247 well you know, its the internet, they get interested in that and then loses interest and moves on to another thing.. Lol
I miss 2021 internet man, it was so cool
You won’t be alone in the castle. ): you’ve got the duke to keep you company 🤣
I like how lady d is casually looking back and knowing ethan is after her cake
My thought on the door issue is that it's probably deliberate in order to prevent you from getting into a nasty situation where you cannot get far enough away for the unlock animation to play.
Beyoncé trying to find Sia after she escaped the basement
They might have made the spot next to that door safe since it leads directly to the fight with Daniela where Alcina can't follow you anyway and unlocking the door takes a moment so it would suck to get slashed in the back before going to that fight. But I'm just speculating!
All "stalkers" including the daughters will stop pursuing you when you get to a certain room close to a boss encounter. So you are likely on the money there.
I can't wait to see you free-cam at House Beneviento. Personally, that is the spoopiest but my favourite part of the hame. And the manor looks really cool too :D
House Beneviento is probably the most on edge I've ever been while playing a Resident Evil game
Pretty sure if you're coming down the elevator, she beelines it for you. Every playthrough I've had had her appear there after the rooftop section.
It's scripted, she's in the exact same place every time you enter the hall after the elevator
Yep, and you can't avoid that either because if you try to take the long way back shell show up in the library or the main hall to surprise you.
@@ReedsFunhouse In my second playthrough I forgot to unlock the door to the main hall and had to go all the way around, so annoying.
Honestly, as someone learning 3D animation. Resident evil does a really good job with the animation. While some companies will add full animations when you can't see it, a lot won't because, why would you? But they don't start the animation right when you get their, this video does a great job showing how the animation has already started before she's in view. This makes it feel like she was their the entire time.
Slippy slides: **explaining in detail what Lady D is doing**
Ethan: **extremly heavy breathing**
.... same tbh
When I was a kid, I had these recurring nightmares of tall women with big crazy hair or hats running up and down wooden stair cases after me. It was pretty terrifying. I wonder if someone else had these same nightmares and that was the inspiration behind this character…because there’s nothing else really that scary about her.
I can fix her - the internet
I have to admit, while watching people play RE:8, I was thinking about your Mr. X video and wondering if Lady D works in the same way. Got kind of lucky with who I watched first, though, and realised there's a circuit she does near the save room (I think the one that got interrupted by no door) because person I was watching kept having to go through that stairway she got stuck at, so if you stay by the save room she'll just do laps there.
I would seriously consider remodeling the house. Just watching her constantly need to crouch to get through doorways is giving my middle-aged back a crick.
3:28 When you feel a sneeze coming but then you’re unable to actually let it out

Your off screen camera movement is so great.
Not only is this video interesting and informative, it also has great subtitles! From someone who’s somewhat hard of hearing, this is really helpful. Thank you!!
I wonder how Ethan feels about ruining so many nice clothes
Ethan’s fearful panting always gives me anxiety, even in these experiments.
She stops pursuing you once you get to the library door so you can get to the mini-boss. But when I played the very hardest difficulty she doesn’t stop. I got hit literally as I entered the library.
Ooh yeah I was waiting for this video thank you 🔥🔥
Always fun learning the little things, including the surprising hiding spot.
Lady D walking through a wall gives me mad Hogwarts vibes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having smoother camera movement than other channels that do this kind of behind the scenes. It significantly more entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
Hey Slippy! Thank you so much for all your hard work, I love these videos
So wait she disappears entirely off the map after you open the coffin? Does that let you roam the castle no problems before getting the dagger??
U can try that
Yes, once you get to coffin area, she's gone and you can explore the castle freely and get what you need to survive
@@Monotail_Razuin AWESOME!! Thank you for letting me know I really appreciate it!!
@@Monotail_Razuin u can also do this to complete the “hooligan” achievement
Yes, I tried it for myself and didn’t see her at all. Some random enemies may have spawned but she wasn’t patrolling anymore.
"lady dimitrescu, or lady D, if you prefer" i prefer "mommy"
I love your videos! It's cool to see all this technical behind the scenes stuff!
really like these kinds of videos, it really shows just how much works goes into a game and designing something unique and special
I remember ducking into the Duke's room after she followed me into the Hall of the Four. I tried waiting for her to leave but her footsteps didn't get farther. I chalked it up to either an audio glitch or her walking back and forth that hallway since she saw me go into Duke's. I eventually just sprinted out of there to the main hall and never turned to look where she was, but now I think what actually happened may have been that hallway door glitch at 7:00
I somehow went from listening to old japanese city pop to looking at a sort of "behind the scenes" video for villains in games....
and I'm loving it.
6:04 i never got to see that interaction when i played, because for some reason lady dimitrescu spawned on the top floor where i was coming from, and proceeded to chase me while spouting her dialogue with cassandra which was confusing as fuck since cassandra was nowhere around. i figured she was just screaming because the "mansion" is actually quite small, and you can hear someone from any room in it.
I don’t remember this one either
the wait is worth it .... man ive been waiting for you to upload too
I have been playing it in the hardest difficulty. The ai only has certain areas they will attack. They will follow you out of that area, then walk back which allows you to attack them with them not reacting until they hit the boundary again. So that hiding spot will work in hardcore too.
when i first got to that bit after she grabbed Ethan and bashed him through the floor, i thought she was spanking him like a naughty boy 🤣
I like to slip and slide with you more than breaking boundaries! Thanks for the great vids!
Love these types of videos. Thank you very much for doing them. Been following your channel since the tyrant off camera one. Appreciate these tremendously
That fact that when she “cuts his head of” and its first person so u only get to see ur self die with no head normally u wont be seeing ur head while play so they just made
Ethan with no head
i love watching your series! It give us a peak behind the curtain on how the game is running. it really entertaining and informative!
*sorry for bad english
Not bad at all 👍🏻
As expected, this was interesting to see! Really enjoyed this, thanks a lot for showing this stuff to us. 🙂
in the Wine room (2nd floor main hall) she stays staring at you. thats when she doesnt follow through frames that she doesnt supposed too, like in 5:24
About 10:25, this reminds me of Jack Baker in Re7.
Once you trigger the cutscene in the basement before the Chainsaw duel, he'll despawn from the house until you grab the final key in the boss room.
Amazing character, all the characters in Village are just so good
Dude, thank you so much! I never knew if you open the coffin but did NOT take the dagger she despawns. Now I can get everything out of the castle without having to worry about her on village of the shadows difficulty.
8:08 retired people when you leave the nursing home entrance open for 0.000001 milliseconds
The castle is easily the best part of the game for me. It all tapers off from there in my opinion but it’s still good. House Beneviento is a masterpiece too. I just think there were so many villains and two of them was properly characterized. (Alcina and Heisenberg)
I feel like the Moreau section was the weakest but even that had its bright spots. The boss fight with Moreau is one of the best in the game and is classic resi
@@mikeamber2528 i thinks the Beneviento is worst part. Short and nothing really happens. I awaited way more. I love the lore of this game. Wish it would have been even deeper
@@handznet For someone's first playthrough, I think House Beneviento is actually brilliant. It's easily the best horror segment in a game that was honestly lacking in a lot of that, especially in the Moreau section. Near perfectly executed psychological horror, in my opinion. Whereas the Village and Castle Dimitrescu focused on simple, atmospheric horror, House Beneviento opted for a genuinely terrifying mind-fuckery experience. I do think that on later playthroughs that area gets repetitive and annoying, but that freaky ass mutated baby still creeps me out. Like I said, fantastic horror right there.
They tried to sprinkle in a little of everything into this game. In a way it's a jack of all trades master of none, but personally I love the way the story is told, not so much the plot itself but all of the details and symbolism and the presentation was fantastic and as a whole it's a great game. It's not RE4 (close to perfect game imo) and it's not "classic" RE but it's one of the best games in the series non the less.
Baby monster was masterful. Scared the shit out of me.
5:24 this can happen when you stand near the wine room and the duke room as well, I assume it occurs in every rooms she can't enter.
Great work as always my dude!
Only the most quality content here. Keep it up!
I love how everything works, the game will only render and go fancy to only what the player can actually see.
2:49 she has mouth Movements Despite never seeing her in this scene
I’m just happy your still making vids boi
I've been waiting for this :D
3:35 is so creepy!! Tracking u even behind closed doors! Her intense killer stare then jerking shoulders. Just imagine there's such a thing watching us all from behind a closed door. 😟
She was jorkin it bro
3:22 her eyes says it all, well.. she really loves her daughters
Love these videos, always awesome content slippy 🙂
I know it doesn't make sense to animate every part of the body when the camera only shows certain parts, but it's still so funny seeing oddly stiff characters move their hands and faces around
Good video!
Yeah Dimitrescu is pretty much set on the path. If you’re in the main hall part of the castle then she will always roam that area while looking for you. If you’re in Opera hall she will do that instead. However I noticed there are two moments when she is triggered and spawns near you (similar to how Mr.X is triggered once you use Heart Key in RPD and get items needed to proceed to clock tower) :
1) After using rooftop elevator she will always spawn near the entrance of it. I played that section few times and she will always appear there
2) After defeating Cassandra and grabbing a mask, she will always appear in the main hall near the place where you have to put wine bottle to get courtyard key. I always run into her when she is there so I’m pretty sure it is scripted that way so she spawns near the place you get another mask
Also about 5:17 it’s because of Daniela bossfight. After you use the key and proceed to the next room, Daniela bossfight is triggered (hence why Lady Dimitrecu can’t enter the room. If she did then she would interfere with Bossfight). However from what I know after you defeat Daniela and some time passes, she will enter that area searching for you (but I didn’t confirm this info by myself. Will have to try doing that during my next runs).
Yo I never seen Nemmy do that flying into the heavens part XD
Awesome job on this.
all these disappearing and spawning are no surprise in video games yet, still so fascinating to see. thank you for you work
Thanks for going so in-depth with all this, Slippy. Finding that you can hide in plain sight from Lady D was pretty funny.
I'm sure it's been suggested, but what happens to Moreau's upper body when his mutated form closes its mouth? I assume the devs move him deeper into the body rather than shrinking or vanishing him.
And what about Angie after stabbing her in the boss fight? Does she fly just off screen and warp to her next spot, or does she actually fly there? On the note of dolls, when do they spawn in to attack Ethan if he takes too long to find Angie?
Last one: given Donna's face being covered except for when she's dead, does her face animate when she speaks? We've seen that she does indeed have a face under her veil, and I believe she has one line while on screen, just before the fight with Angie.
Not as impressive as Mr X he literally wanders the police station hunting you. that is much more terrifying
Cool video. I've experimented with a free camera mod during a cut scene a couple of times but I haven't nailed down smooth movement to the point that I thought of using it to follow her around and explore the castle.
Great video slippy. Extremely interesting.
Let's be honest, this video is just an excuse for him to watch Lady Dimitrescu for hours on end.
The work of a dev is like a magician. You prepare some smart little details and the result gives you the impression it's real. 👌🌟 Science and illusion
This was super interesting, and obviously all the Lady D shots were appreciated :-D
That shot at 9:57 though :-O
