he was just in the RE4 remake , why ppl act like he's been absent for 30 years or something

They like to pretend RE6 and all the movies he stars in don't exist. Not to mention continued exposure with RE2R and RE4R. Dude is oversaturated. I'd rather have Sheva Alomar as they are underused. And many want more Jill Valentine. It would be more interesting to me if they brought in the Revelations originals like Parker or Jessica Sherawat over Leon.

That said since Leon is here....Ada Wong won't be too far behind either.

Dude has been in games canon 3 times. No, the movies don't count. Most people don't care about some extremely mid CGI movies. We want to play as him in a new game with new story developments.

Jill has been in RE1, RE3, RE5, Rev, and one remake. Leon has been in RE2, 4, 6, and two remakes.

That means Jill has the same amount of games, AND more canon appearances in games. If he's oversaturated, so is she.

You want me to pull shit out from 2019? That's not happening.

Besides if there was a demand for the female characters wouldn't Capcom put them in the games?

Yes I want you to pull shit from 2019 because you're the one making ridiculous claims.

Thanks a lot fuckhead I didn't want to know this

He's on the box art dude

Were you going to buy the game with your eyes closed lmao

To be fair he's not on the box art.

 

[HYDE]

Chris Redfield was in the Village box art too and he was playable for five minutes in that game

I really hope this is not the case in this one

I do, save Leon for a proper tps ots game.
These fps ones are average experiences.

 

[Arachnid]

To be fair he's not on the box art.

Assuming those are legit though. That's what they put out before his reveal, and he's on the preorder page. They also still haven't put out the collectors edition yet. Chances are the actual box art gets updated everywhere like it is on the preorder page after the TGA reveal.

There is no shot of them not featuring their money maker on the physical box art.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I wonder if he will de-age both male characters by the end of the game. Only men grow older in RE.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Resident Evil "fans" hate women and new characters. They just wanna keep playing the same two white boys they played as when they were 12.

You'll probably play as Leon for like 20 minutes like you do with Chris in RE8.

 

[Generic]

His levels won't work well in first person. No room for melee moves.

 

[Arsic]

I don't expect him to be playable for more than 5 minutes or only in dlc.

Developer has said playing as Leon isn't scary because he's a bad ass. Hence a new frail character for focus with Grace.

Me personally I think he's a fucking retard. Just because Isaac saw some shit in DS1 didn't make DS2 less scary. It's about tension, sound, atmosphere, etc to create horror and fear.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Grace gets a pistol at some point so the dev making those comments is a copout IMO. It might have more weight if the game was like Amnesia: The Bunker(you get a Pistol here too but using it is against your better judgment), Alien Isolation or the very recent Routine where fighting should be an absolute last resort in a game where you are largely defenseless.

And we also can clearly see in promo material Grace is getting an Uzi submachine gun...so I expect it to be another actiony horror shooter for a majority of it's playtime.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I'm super excited for it. Nothing has really seemed scary. Here's hoping the music is good. Always go back to OG RE save room music.

At least Leon wont have to question the craziness going on around him.

I think it'll be a retread of RE7 and not very good…

 

[Variahunter]

Ma boi Leon is in, so…

 

[Memati187]

Ada confirmed then too?

 

[Crimsonhead]

That old guy face seems like ……. Spencer

 

[MagiusNecros]

That old guy face seems like ……. Spencer

I mean when Wesker killed himself he reanimated...it isn't quite so farfetched to see Spencer reanimate also. And given a Hospital in Rhode Hill has Umbrella facilities tucked away I don't think it unreasonable shady things are happening.

 

[Signalis]

I thought by now Leon would have continued the Redfield bloodline and fucker Claire. Chris has been begging him to fuck his sister for years

 

[Karim]

Must have been a hard couple of years for Leon .....








I'll just grab my coat.

Covid and Umbrella Virus, pal.

 

[Madflavor]

I imagine he will have a similar role as Chris in Village. I can't see him being playable for more than 10% of the game.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

My favorite character. He had better be given a good and significant role. They'd better not cuck him.

When you're 12 boosters deep.

 

[Memati187]

Im curious if they implemented additional mechanics for leon, because after re4 you can't make leon play like Grace. That would suck.

 

[Barakov]

At long last, Leon S. Kennedy has been confirmed to appear in Resident Evil: Requiem — via a leaked image on the PlayStation Store

The reveal of new cover art for the game featuring Leon finally puts to bed one of this year's biggest gaming mysteries — something developer Capcom has itself refused to address — just days ahead of Requiem's appearance at The Game Awards. Presumably we'll see Leon announced officially there.

This morning, Resident Evil fans began spotting the new cover art appearing on PlayStation 5 consoles in the pre-download screen for owners of the standard (non-Deluxe) version of the game. IGN has now verified this ourselves, and can confirm the image is legitimate. Leon is real.

LET'S GO.

 

[Braag]

How many playable characters does this thing have? RE games aren't long, they're supposed to have good replay value. How many characters can they cram into a 10-12 hour game?
And how annoying will Grace's parts be when replaying the game?

 

[Roman Empire]

Is Mad Eye Moody playable? Didnt know there was a Harry Potter cross over.

It seems he got hooked on Fentanyl. He's cooked.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Nintendo just did something like this with Donkey Kong Bananza. When they revealed it they revealed the box art and a month later when they did the DKB direct and revealed Pauline was in the game they updated the official boxart with a "new" official boxart with pauline on it.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm hoping we mostly play as Grace….i like Leon but I'm pretty sure just like Chris in RE7&8 his going to have high power military weapon which gonna turn entire game in to action game.

[skneogaf]

I just saw this that claims it's real but nowadays, this is a prompt and 5 seconds work so I'm unsure.

If I remember right, this was one of the first times you could really feel political correctness starting to spread, back when it was still in its infancy.

Thread 'N'Gai Croal - RE5 Trailer Imagery is Racist'

Apr 13, 2008

Earlier this week GamePolitics covered the opening installments of MTV Multiplayer’s multipart feature on Black Professionals in Games.

And while Newsweek’s popular video game writer N’Gai Croal was the focus of the series’ opening article, MTV Multiplayer decided to devote a second installment to his perspective on whether or not there is racist imagery in the controversial trailer for Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil 5.

GamePolitics readers will likley recall last year’s flap over the trailer which shows RE5’s white protagonist mowing down scores of zombies, all black. The game is...

[Seomel]

Has he ever been wrong? If so, what was he wrong about?

Village he got plenty stuff wrong. Also because of console war shit, re8 reveal trailer had tough performance, so he started spreading bs he admitted later to that devs are struggling to run game on ps5 etc. He said he did it because it felt like xbox was losing or some shit.

[xVodevil]

You had one job, not to provide any Leon related stuff to the stores and such lol. Leaks are just leaks
Anyway I do love the idea of having an older, hardened Leon for another adventure and of course he's gonna be there... It's rather relevant location form him.
It'll take a lot more games to completely move on from all the original characters.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

That looks ten times cooler than any of this corny Outlast shit they've shown.
