Another batch of Resident Evil 9 leaks

I don't buy mold being the center again. We literally destroyed the original megamycete in RE8. It's the source of all mold. Mother Miranda was THE megamycete scientist/villain. She found it, grew it, studied it, created a religion around it, and passed knowledge to Spencer.

Both her and the fungus got wiped by Ethan. There is literally nothing else to say about the mold. It's wrapped.

Bogus, if Chris isn't with the bsaa anymore, then there's no chance jill would be either.
Maybe they disagreed on management? They founded the BSAA together, and now the BSAA is using BOWs. Maybe Jill is behind that.

It sounds almost villainous, but tbh it'd be a bit hypocritical of Jill to be 100% against it like Chris. She's borderline a BOW herself. She doesn't even age anymore. I wouldn't mind some inter-protagonist drama there.
 
Hopefully it will have good combat gameplay, unlike RE7 and 8.
I thought RE8 played like a sad bargain bin compilation of RE4 scenarios at best. Then they shoehorned in various other trash like the walking sim spooky house to double down on the uninspired greatest hits/sell the most feel. This is a game I do not get the praise for whatsoever. The ending especially is dogshit even for RE standards of weak ending sections.

The fact that they so poorly ripped off the village opening even was baffling.

If true, then it's shit.
Kinda weird that with all those details, they couldn't confirm 3rd person or 1st.

Can't they just replicate RE2 remake ? Not a fan of the RE4 direction with zombies blazing guns. It's just a shooter, not a survival horror.

The environments don't look appealing either. Can't say I'm excited.
 
I'll welcome RE9 no matter how the story is. I prefer 3rd person and more horror theme but I'll be fine if it turns out to be more actiony like RE4 Remake or 1st person too. Don't mind what version of Jill they're using as I liked all the Jill versions. I do hope there's a bunch of non linear segments and with the first playthrough being long around 20 hours at least which was what it took me for RE4 Remake.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Megamycete is involved again. The one from RE8 looked like a giant Fetus so maybe there are more in the world with one of them being a adult form. I could be remembering it wrong but I thought the Ethan story is wrapped up part is only for Ethan himself.

Sounds really good if it’s legit. Especially the part with leon and Jill and Barry coming back again? Fuck yeah. A pretty spoilery leak. Roses blood for the vaccine makes sense and I’m believing this leak somewhat.

Just replayed RE4 remake and working on RE2 remake again.

Probably will fire up village in third person next.

I’m usually cycling a RE game once a month through out the year. All of this RE9 stuff sounds super specific like the village leaks so I believe all of it.

Leon and Jill is the dream game. Only other thing I’d love is a new Rebecca game.

no VR no interest, playing RE in flatscreen mode after playing 7,8 & 4 in VR is like going back to playing the originals on PS1/PS2, the difference is night and day

I think this is the 2nd time or more someone has mentioned Leon and Jill as the main characters. I do believe this part of the leak is atleast legit.

Another one:



Similar source, reiterating a lot of the same stuff, with some new details sprinkled in. Once again, take with a huge grain of salt:


Some information about the RE9 delay that you might want to know!

All of this information was provided by a source from Capcom USA Marketing over coffee today!

• Capcom was not happy with the marketing results for Village, several aspects are being reworked in the marketing for RE9 before an official and imminent announcement!

• The game is in an advanced stage of development (as I have said several times) but some gameplay aspects and items still need more polish, like the smoke grenade! I am not saying that it is the only factor responsible for the delay but my contact said that the RE Engine reached its maximum limit with RE9 and it will most likely be one of the last REs on this Engine!

• The REX Engine is not far from being presented to the public!

• RE9 will have a marketing that my contact describes as "stratospheric".

• Leon is in a promotional image that my contact saw during a planning meeting, he describes his look as "A mature Leon, but not too far from what RE4 Remake was!" So here is the answer to the question you've been asking me for months, YES, RE9 will have Jill & Leon!

• He knows absolutely nothing about test sessions involving Leon, even though he is in the game! Marketing has only worked on test sessions involving Jill, at least in America!

• Blue Umbrella will be in the game, they are already developing the Synopsis and from the little material they have received to work with, the corporation is mentioned as something central to the game!

• He is confident in saying that things like moon cults, symbols and ritualistic things DO NOT seem to fit into the game! But he doesn't rule it out completely because when you work with marketing something so secretive your material is nebulous!

MORE TESTING

• According to him, Capcom is planning 2 more testing sessions during next six months, he doesn't know if the same teams of testers will be called (I hope so, lol)

• RE9 is still a 2025 product for now... Apparently the game is still planned for the 2nd half of 2025 but whether that actually happens depends on all the issues that are hindering the reveal at the moment! In any case, his personal opinion is that he doesn't think this game will reach our homes this year!

• The game is being treated as "The biggest survival horror entry in the franchise". According to a preliminary synopsis!

• The name Apocalypse keeps coming up in marketing meetings so that shouldn't be changed!

• The hospital should not be the only environment in the game (contrary to what I personally believed)

• The smoke grenade is not the only new thing in the game, we will also have sound grenades, which can be used to attract very aggressive creatures and avoid combat (I hope this can be used against those damn Hunters)

• Capcom will tease more things about RE until May.

Thanks for reading!

• The REX Engine is not far from being presented to the public!

I'm not sure whether or not this has been already confirmed, but I hope this is true. Obviously maintaining and developing an engine is a SHIT TON of work, but I'm so glad they're sticking to it. The REngine was fantastic for the scope it set out to cover (stuff like RE7 and RE2make), but it's obviously getting "a little" dated, so them improving on it is great to hear.

Also, little nitpick, but I hope they don't stick to the RE3make Jill Redesign. They probably will, especially since that's also the look they went for in the movie, but one can hope.

RE Engine needs to be updated to be less taxing for open world games and mass crowds of NPCs, imo.

Resident Evil's are always cool games by themselfs, but this story at this point is starting to feel like and an old ass tv show that outlived itself long ago and now starting to be so ridiculus it is not even funny already.

Engine is 11 years old, so even thou still can run great stuff, the scope of 9 probably is in the next level

Yeah, arguably the scope has been outstretched with stuff like Dragon's Dogma or even RE3make already, so I'd understand people not exactly praising the engine currently.

Finish RE8 and find out.
i did, did u finished the DLC ?



if Megamycete still kickin around the world, why wouldn't Ethan body regenerate itself, even if took a lot of time cause the explosion or if its possible to create a clone of Eveline using the Megamycete why not one of Ethan ? its possible i think.
