Dusk Golem: Resident Evil Requiem has Capcom biggest budget for any of their projects thus far, new info and screenshots

  1. Everyone was actually surprised by the announcement for once
  2. Dusk had no role to play
  3. Everyone was happier and better off for it
Why is he still bothering? Just go away forever at this point. Right or wrong he and his 'leaks' bring nothing to the table.

People ask where the magic of gaming has gone. Leakers take away magic by ruining any semblance of surprise. Yet people still eat it all up because they don't know what's good for them.

Leaks take away "the magic of gaming"? What the fuck? lol
That's pretty pathetic, I mean, I enjoy games by actually playing them. A leak doesn't effect that in any way.
How's this for a leak: There will be a Resident Evil 10 (or X). It will have monsters... and guns!

Yes I agree that the third person resident evils are great. The first person ones are just stinky. And not solely because of first person.

However if I look at 8's tacked on 3rd person view, there is no hope whatsoever.

7 genuinely felt really nice to play, even if the enemies were not the best; you had that right impact and punch with your arsenal. With Village, it was all over the place, with only a few guns feeling good to use. Hell, only Chris Redfield felt genuinely nice playing with all guns and combat than I did with Ethan. There was something about that game lacking something mechanically, and it was probably due to that version of the RE engine and how it was used. Again though, 7 was fan-fucking-tacular in every way. The village end result was rushed and not polished enough.

Requiem has been cooking for a while with 7 director at the top of the helm so you know he'll have that same discipline (you would think) and Capcom in other places would love that OTS audience money so that just has to be good to play as well (while as the other character lol).

But the problem with Dusk Gollem is that the only thing related to Capcom he leaked was some details of the RE Village announcements.

Other than this, he lied multiple times about everything else he added (instead of copypasted from somebody else) about RE Village, RE Revelations 3, RE1 re-remake, RE0 remake, RE4 remake, RE5 remake, RECV remake, RE Outbreak, Resident Evil 9, Street Fighter V and Street Fighter 6 and so on, trying to pass personal guesses as supposed leaks.

I mean, Dusk was right about the dual protagonists. The "familiar character" is obviously Leon, corroborating his Leon+new face dual protagonists leak. He was right about the more gothic horror feel (leaning away from action despite Leon being protag), and he leaked the Requiem tag before reveal and he was right about the actual title not having a "9" in it before that. He was right about it being the biggest RE to date budget/biggest team/scope too.

A lot of Dusk haters in here, but he's been right about the last like 4 REs lol

I don't mind Leon as the protagonist, I wouldn't mind a more serious Chris game either, I like him but all his games apart from RE1 are a bit silly imo.
But if I were to choose I'd honestly prefer if they gave the spotlight to Jill and/or Claire this time around, the gals are badass and they are due some attention in their own right.
 
Pick a fucking camera, stick with it and design the game around that. A half-assed third person camera with none of the movements options of RE4R because it also has to work in Outlast Mode was already lame in Village. I don't like first person RE at all but at least commit and refine that then.

PS: Also don't care for the YouTube Horror thing where the protag constantly whines and cries and freaks out and talks to themselves. Sounds like they're doubling down on that.

My mistake tbh, that was a typo. I mean "Dusk". Leon's my favorite but tbh I'd love Claire. I'd love Jill as long as she's more in line with her Rev version personality wise.

I'd have loved Rebecca since she's my second favorite character, but she isn't a face of Raccoon like Claire, Leon, or Jill.

Previews have it that OTS seems to match up with RE:2, and it sounds like they have aimed the design parity (or perhaps tuned it better) around both sides with the environment, so it sounds alright. I am pretty happy and chilled waiting for the final game, and not one too bothered going to think anything more given what has been said. All sounds like it's going to be another RE banger to enjoy in this mellow-out mood.

I agree, but I also think about TLOU2 with Joel. If that wasn't leaked before release and gamers experienced that naturally, I'd wonder what the conversation would have looked like online then.

Lol the leak was better than the final product.. the leak was "joel dies this way" - shit thats horrible .... the real thing was "joel becomes dumb as fuck, acts outside everything he learned and thought, and then dies this way"

The leaks were better.. the game story is dogshit

Edit: so mutch that they tweaked this passage on the series to be a little less retarded

The leaks were a mega disaster for that game and Joel's impact; they didn't do Naughty Dog any favours, that's for sure. Had more entertainment around this than the game itself lol. Loved the level design of that title and its gameplay being some of the best made by Naughty Dog; I really wished we had Raccoon City in that sense of scale they did there with the then 3 REmake. RE Engine wouldn't be able to do that then that's for sure.

Any game that could use ND expertise in graphics and animations would be great.. just dont let them touch the story
 
perspective options?
ehh

hopefully the game is built around 3rd person, and 1st person is there in a very limited fashion, like looking at stuff closely or something.

As far as I know, part of RE9's whole "Long Awaited Endings & New Beginnings" stuff is supposed be Leon's last major role in the timeline (sure he'll still pop up in CG movies & earlier timeline stuff), so you got that to look forward to with Resident Evil Requiem then.
Click to expand...

Leon & Grace are the main protagonists of Resident Evil Requiem, yes. I am repeating myself a bit there, but will end up being the case. Both play big roles, but I think when all is said & done, this in many ways will come off more as Leon's send-off game.

Resident Evil Requiem has a new showing at Gamescom Opening Night on the 19th, then a media embargo for press lifting on the 20th, then it'll be at Tokyo Game Show next month too.

Glad to see them making this their biggest budget game, gives me hope. I know bigger budget doesn't mean a better game but Resident Evil at least with the RE Engine ones never failed yet so expecting RE9 to be legendary and huge.

Hope there's a good amount of enemy variety, cool bosses, exploration, and backtracking with some interesting unscripted encounters.

I recently finished RE7 and I don't agree especially when it comes to whole art direction and character design Resident Evil Requiem looks very different than RE7….not to mention we have proper 3rd person instead of half ass one we got in RE8 update.

I hope so as well, that was RE7's biggest flaw.

Day one either way.

I seriously hope though they finally introduce some kind of overarching plot that it's worth caring about. It's been way too long the series had that.
 


Requiem

There's few other innovations, some I know, but also sure I don't know all of them. A small handful I don't mind sharing is they've been working hard to achieve having good performance on open-level designed areas like Raccoon City, along w/a vehicle to travel around it. The combat with Leon has seen huge innovations, honestly some Last of Us Part 2-isms, but also its own innovations.

He later posted four pictures saying, "Resident Evil Requiem out of context." One of the pictures shows Alice from Resident Evil Extinction on a motorbike.






Next big-budget game

...2029/2030 should be another new Resident Evil game releasing, not a remake & not a spin-off but a big budget affair.
Click to expand...


SUMMARY OF STORY SPOILERS:

-The stalker monster is Grace's mother, Alyssa. This is revealed early in the game.

-Grace's blood is important in the story.

-There is a big connection to Umbrella.

-Requiem is the final numbered title and a definitive end for Umbrella and Raccoon City.

-Requiem serves as a conclusion for everything that began with RE 0. This will allow Capcom to explore new stories and characters in the future. For future titles it will no longer be a requirement to tie everything in with the series' history.

-Capcom wants to move away from games being set in the year they come out since development takes too long now. Future games can be set anywhere on the timeline.

While I'm hyped AF for this game and will be there day 1, let's not forget that before Requiem, the highest-budget RE game was.... 6.

Revelations 2 was done on a shoestring budget and was infinitely better than 5 and 6 combined. Throwing tons of cash isn't a guarantee that the end result will be better. Especially with CAPCOM.

To be fair, back in the days they were chasing the CoD money big time. They haven't been doing this ever since. So there is a good chance the budget will be used well this time around.

A scientist from Umbrella drops his ice-cream on the pavement after being pushed by a bunch of little brats who are mocking him for his appearance. Infuriated, he creates a virus that infects only kids. Leon S. Kennedy arrives, riding a bike, and starts running all the infected kids over.

P.S. All preorders for the PS5 version include free Deacon St. John skin for Leon.

I'll always defend RE7 to my grave. Not that it needs defending, it's one of the best selling games and highly rated. But even still you have some fans trash on it on occassion. But the whole franchise was in a very bad spot for many years after RE4 came out. I mean yeah RE4 was incredible, but after that Resident Evil lost it's identity, and went further and further into action, culiminating in the absolute dogshit that was RE6, which I describe as a RE CGI movie put into a game format. Rev 1&2 were okay games that stuck to the Survival Horror format in some respects, but they were low budget spin offs. It was like coming across a juice box in a desert.

Then RE7 brought Resident Evil back to it's Survival Horror roots. The marketing was brilliant, giving us a demo and drip feeding updates so we could pour through more clues and secrets, and discuss them online. Giving us a faceless protagonist, a first person view, a Southern Gothic Horror setting, it was all a huge breath of fresh air.

There's debate on whether or not RE7 literally "saved" the franchise, but I know one thing that cannot be argued. RE7 is when Resident Evil got good again, and they've been on a tear ever since.

Agreed. RE7 is still my third favorite game in the series after REmake and OG 3. Hell, if the latter areas of the game were on par with the Jack and Marguerite sections, it'd have seriously given RE1 Remake a run for its money.

But I guess that's just how it goes. If you get 10 Resident Evil fans in a room and have them say what they want out of the franchise, you'd probably get 10 completely different answers. I know people who like RE5 and 6 the most, people who can't stand the remakes, fans who hate everything with static camera angles... even one guy who got into the series with the Chronicles on-rail shooters on the Wii.

But that's on Capcom. They've put themselves in a position where they simply cannot appease everyone. What's left for them is to remain faithful to the series origins if they want to keep Resident Evil, well... Resident Evil.

Maybe the game is sloppy ice cream, older players bitter, our inner child disappointed and we look ahead on our motorcycles in disgust?

In all seriousness I have confidence RE9 should be an easy win but then again DD2 and MHWI should have been easy wins as well so...

Resident Evil (excluding the mutiplayer stuff) was always good. Just sometimes less good.

Here are the games that released between RE4 and RE7:
  • Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (2006)
  • Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (2007)
  • Resident Evil 5 (2009)
  • Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (2009)
  • Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (2011)
  • Resident Evil Revelations (2012)
  • Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (2012)
  • Resident Evil 6 (2012)
  • Resident Evil Revelations 2 (2015)
  • Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster (2016)
  • Umbrella Corps (2016)

Compare that to everything that came out from RE1 - RE4. You had mostly great games, and some of them were so great they revolutionized the gaming landscape. Then when you look at that list I provided, they range from Dogshit - Okay.

Yes you can point to some games there and say "Well I think that was good". I mean I like Rev 2 and RE5 for the most part. But you cannot deny there was a nosedive in the overall quality of the series during this period, which is why I say Resident Evil got good again beginning with RE7.

RE1 - 1996
RE2 - 1998
RE3 - 1999
RE Survivor - 2000
RE Code Veronica - 2000
RE Survivor 2 - 2001
RE Gaiden - 2001
REmake -2002
RE0 - 2002
RE Dead Aim - 2003
RE Outbreak - 2003
RE Outbreak 2 - 2004
RE4 - 2005

I don't have the negativity towards a lot of the franchise others do but people do not hold most of that run between RE3 and RE4 in high regards (other than REmake).

And frankly RE7 is on my short list of games in the franchise I have no interest in ever revisiting. Still a good game though.
