What we know so far (thanks to Spooky Scary Skeleton with this post)

• Main character (or one of main characters) is Grace, Alyssa Ashcroft's daughter (one of playable characters in Outbreak games)
• We are going back to bombed out Raccoon City (going back to the origin of RE franchise)
• The hallway with curtain and broken window is a call back to dog jumping through window in RE1 mansion
• The game takes place in city (instead of middle of nowhere in RE7 and Village), or abandoned area of the city from the look of it
• Grace looks like she's early 20s. This means about 30 years has passed since Raccoon City was bombed. We can tell because Alyssa did not have daughter during the Raccoon City incident

Only good thing really apart from the muppet boxing game.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Day one.

 

[Memati187]

Yeeeeeeeeeees! But no gameplay, fuck crapcom.

 

[Luipadre]

Damn that looked cool.

 

[\m/etalStorm]

Woah cool. There it is!

 

[TrebleShot]

Looked incredible .

 

[Certinty]

I can't be the only one who wanted it to go back to third person…

 

[Roni]

That FBI cutscene looked like Evil Within 3 from the character model design. Was that misdirection? Because the other shit that flashed later looked like actual RE Engine models.

 

[Z O N E]

That trailer was good... so damn good.

 

[SpokkX]

So the "leaks" about Leon and some open world stuff was just bullshit?

 

[rofif]

HOOOOLY W.
Looks amazing. I also thought it's EW3 for a sec.

 

[pnutboy]

Doesn't seem to match up with the rumors/leaks but looks cool for sure

 

[Killer8]

First or third person is the question (or both?).

 

[Arachnid]

Fucking FINALLY

Did not have "playing an Outbreak characters kid" on my RE9 bingo card.

 

[Fake]

Please be good.

 

[Judge Magister]

The tone is very different. I'm intrigued.

 

[ssringo]

Obligatory

Fantastic trailer. Seeing Racoon City post missile strike was hype as fuck.

 

[tkscz]

Going back to Racoon City? Won't form an opinion on this until I see gameplay at GamesCon. This doesn't tell me much of anything.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

No gameplay. Most of it spent on a generic office space. Tells me nothing and I don't get how that can be "hype" in any way.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

new half life seems cool.

 

[Nocty]

Doesn't seem to match up with the rumors/leaks but looks cool for sure

I guess it just proves that most people are full of shit these days.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Fucking FINALLY

Did not have "playing an Outbreak characters kid" on my RE9 bingo card.

Holy FUCK, that's why Ashcroft was jingling around in my head Like I heard it before. Completely blank out on that game sometimes.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Well done sir, well done.

 

[Bartski]

Incredible. I need this

 

[rofif]

No gameplay. Most of it spent on a generic office space. Tells me nothing and I don't get how that can be "hype" in any way.

it was a great trailer

 

[hemo memo]

 

[Sebastian1295]

Love everything about it besides the main character. Wanted to play as claire, jill, or rebecca.

 

[SALMORE]

Looked like a Netflix movie adaptation

 

[MagiusNecros]

RE Outbreak and a Post Apocalyptic Raccoon City(?) has me intrigued.

 

[swaffles23]

Is that destroyed Raccoon City? This looks incredible

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

not mad at it

 

[Windom Earle]

"Cinematic" does not bode well.

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks awesome. I hope Sony moneyhats a VR version again, though it seems unlikely given the fact that they've basically given up on PSVR2.

 

[vpance]

Time to upgrade to UE5.

 

[adamsapple]

STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS GIVE IT TO ME CAPCOM YOU FUCKING GLORIOUS BASTARDS !!

 

[Puscifer]

Obligatory

Fantastic trailer. Seeing Racoon City post missile strike was hype as fuck.

Same here! Not on my bingo card and my brain was barely processing that were revisiting it!

 

[Bitstream]

Well done sir, well done.

Oh I get it...

 

[adamsapple]

We visiting Raccoon City again !

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

dude wtf lol.
it was a great trailer

DID I STUTTER!!!

 

[Ristifer]

So, no Leon/Jill like they were humping in the rumour mills?

 

[hemo memo]

Time to upgrade to UE5.

RE engine is far better.

 

[realcool]

Looks interesting. I'll have to see more.

 

[FeralEcho]

People going crazy over this is hilarious to me. Has to be one of the worst reveal trailers for any RE in recent memory,it barely showed anything. Two generic characters,no Leon or Chris,no exotic location. But hey here's an exciting office location!

And I say this as someone that adores RE and played them all...this trailer was shit.
