90+ …

 

[yogaflame]

Possible game of the year

 

[Instant_Classic]

84 - 87

 

[Come On Tars]

If it's good it will be an amazing collab of the best of RE7 and RE4 Remake.

If it's bad it will feel like a middling RE Village mixed with RE6 Leon levels.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Should have been 2 separate campaigns. I think it will hinder the pacing. I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

81-85 I say.

Yeah, effect on pacing is my biggest concern for sure.

 

[Danny22]

Capcom looks very very carefully at Metacritic scores and its well known that they've been trying to bring their numbered titles to the same critical acclaim that the Re2 and RE4 remake got.

My theory is that it's the root cause of this game also having a third person mode. They're trying to please both sides of the RE fanbase. Now usually, that's NOT a good sign.

And if it feels like a 'Please like us' fan service game, I expect it to get a more predictable 84-88. But here's hoping they knock it out of the park and get a 90+.

 

[Arsic]

I'm going 91-95 on this one. Lot of hype from journalists for this one.

I have a feeling for me it'll be a 7.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll say 81-85. I want it to be good and review well, but something is holding me back from getting too pumped about it.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Requiem? More like Requi...red playing.

 

[analog_future]

Who the fuck's this lol

 

[MiguelItUp]

Who the fuck's this lol

One of the only reviewers that truly matter. (I love that it's been so long and he's still doing it.)

 

[Moses85]

Capcom is aiming for 96%

 

[Draugoth]

Wait for reviews before dropping $70 on a game

 

[Aressa]

86-90
I don't see it being over 90 but I hope i'm wrong.

 

[Svalr93]

Anyone knows if there will be a PC preload and when?

 

[Nocty]

Ahem, UK GAF, so... my usual local indie shop wont be getting the game for a few days after launch due to some clerical error on their shipment. RIP.

What online stores do you use that, cough cough nudge nudge, definitely post orders at the earliest possible point to ensure they arive well ahead of release date?

You know, wouldn't want to not be playing at 0:01 am or antyhing..

 

[Moses85]

25th on Steam

 

[Signalis]

Some of the stuff I'm hearing doesn't sound good. If legit, I'm expecting lower scores.

Care to elaborate "marked as spoilers", I am curious. I'm not planning on getting it on release, I'm waiting for the "Gold Edition"

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I played RE2.3 and 4 remakes this past year and found them quite enjoyable.

I expect the PC performance to be shit though and will get dinged for it.

The performance on PC for the other games have actually been quite good tho.

 

[Sleepwalker]

100 average, lowest review 100.

 

[saintjules]

It's a day 1 buy for me. I don't look at numbers - doesn't mean anything.

What would be the difference between a 91 and an 89?

It's on the short side and the story sounds kinda dumb. Check out the leaks thread if you want specifics but I'd advise against it.

Here's What We Know So Far:
Per Dusk Golem:

-Grace is Spencer's daughter. Alyssa was forced to adopt her by Spencer in exchange for an interview and important info.

-Spencer has been manipulating the events of RERequiem as a final plan after his death.

Got some updates and clarity on Grace and Spencer.

-(Per Dusk Golem): "Spencer's protoge, so here's vaguely how this works from how I understand it. Grace is actually not related...

Looks like the majority here do not believe this will score above a 90. A bit surprising.

We'll see where it lands soon enough!

 

[Roman Empire]

87.

I have a feeling that what will drag this installment down is the story.

 

[Muffdraul]

I voted 91-95, but that's just my personal hype talking. I haven't been this hyped for new RE since the RE4 reveal trailer in 2002. (Which was sadly scrapped and had very little to do with the game that eventually came out, which was still great.)

 

[analog_future]

Last day for predictions!

 

[mdkirby]

88-93

 

[Roman Empire]

Last day for predictions!

I predict me playing this game regardless of reviews .

Let's hope the story isn't too stupid.

 

[ThroatPie]

88. If it doesn't have a falloff like the second have of village then it might be in the 90's for me.

 

[Arachnid]

Still think it's going to be a 92 at least. Capcom doesn't fuck around with Leon. They always send it with him involved, and this has the highest budget/scope in the series.

They will not fuck this up.

 

[Nephryte]

89

 

[subzero83]

88

 

[Superposition]

It looks way better than Village in every aspect, and it seems like they've worked hard on it same as RE2 and RE4 Remake mentality.

I'd say 92 Metascore.

 

[GrayChild]

Still think it's going to be a 92 at least. Capcom doesn't fuck around with Leon. They always send it with him involved, and this has the highest budget/scope in the series.

They will not fuck this up.

Leon was in RE6 and that game at the time had the highest budget even lent for a Capcom game.

So that's not a 100% guarantee for success.

 

[Mozza]

Somewhere between 50 and 100..

 

[TGO]

Still think it's going to be a 92 at least. Capcom doesn't fuck around with Leon. They always send it with him involved, and this has the highest budget/scope in the series.

You could post this in the Resident Evil 6 review predictions thread and it wouldn't be out of place.
But yeah, I have a good feeling about this one
This is what we wanted, RE2/4 but a new game, let hope they deliver!

 

[analog_future]

 

[Memati187]

Lol, people shill for crapcom, that won't happen, good game or not. They will get around 90.

 

[Instant_Classic]

[Sojiro]

I went with 86-90. I think it will be right at 90 or maybe a couple of points lower. Either way I am looking forward to this coming out!

 

[Memati187]

It will end up between 85-95, but knowing the leaks, I would personally give it 69 as of yet. But need to play it for myself first, hope the experience delivers.

 

[Fake]

Again, between 80~85. IDK why the OP don't have an option for 85~80 with is pretty safe spot for metascore.

 

[KU_]

88.

 

[ssringo]

I think it'll be low 90s. But I feel like there's going to be at least a couple reviews that'll torpedo it to the mid 80s.

 

[Deerock71]

The best Resident Evils all have Leon.
