[Werewolf Jones]

The rule of three in the RE series has me worried (RE3, RE6) and "cinematic action" has me a little more than concerned. I hope it's first person and full of schlock so we can get a reboot for REX.

Original RE3 is fire though? lmao

 

[vpance]

Wrong & total complete bullshit

If it was then all these horror focused RE's since 7 would have been 3rd person.

 

[kruis]

Third person, please. First person RE blows chunky shite.

I thought some of the shots gave the impression of a 1st person game. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[SilentSpecter]

tpp or fpp?

 

[near]

Sure, but that doesn't change it being a fact for the vast majority of people.

I poop my pants just thinking about RE7.

 

[bender]

Original RE3 is fire though? lmao

Never cared for it, but it's hard to follow-up RE2.

 

[Bernardougf]

i doesn't matter, at the end of the day its all about taste, i love the old RE games, but RE7 is so atmospheric and immersive that spoiled the third person for me, on third person the game lost the feeling of anxiety cause you can see your surrounds anytime.

I guess we had two FP.. time for some new third person story ... do some variations. Dont think FP fans will be dismissive as third person fans... probably everyone who enjoyed village will play this and everyone who dosent like FP can enjoy too.

But than again they may be happy doing FP games so.. its up to them

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yay hype!!

Time to see what survived. While everyone else is overseas? Who will make a cameo appearance..

 

[SHAKEZ]

I wonder when they'll reveal Leon. It has Raccoon City, he'll show up, again.

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Really love the whole tone and direction they took for 9. Lol at idiots like Dusk Golem too.

Now all I need is a VR mode announcement.

 

[spartan30gr]

I think we find leon in the trailer

 

[HYDE]

If it was then all these horror focused RE's since 7 would have been 3rd person.

A decision made to change the perspective has jack shit to do with how scary it is.

 

[Jesb]

I have a feeling Leon will be a support character for this girl. Could see the story go in the direction of wanting to contact Leon to help with the investigation with his huge back history on raccoon city and everything else that he could help the fbi with their investigation.

 

[Sebastian1295]

The people who just want to play as the same fucking characters over and over again make me laugh.

Rebecca hasn't been a protagonist since resident evil 0 i believe.

 

[Robb]

Trailer didn't do much for me. If it's still first person I guess I'll skip this installment as well.

 

[Revolutionary]

He lost that jacket in the first chapter of RE4

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Rebecca hasn't been a protagonist since resident evil 0 i believe.

Technically she was in Umbrella Chronicles I think but nobody gives a shit about the Wii games.

She was lumped in with the same protagonists we've seen over and over again and my point still stands.

 

[VeganElduderino]

FINALLY! fuckin'A, man!

 

[Badlucktroll]

maybe leon turned into a hermit and is living in the abandoned raccoon city

 

[Sebastian1295]

Technically she was in Umbrella Chronicles I think but nobody gives a shit about the Wii games.

She was lumped in with the same protagonists we've seen over and over again and my point still stands.

I like my OG'S. Game still looks awesome though and i'm getting it day one.

 

[Punished Miku]

I guess I would prefer an actual new 3rd person entry that isn't a remake. But I'll play it in 1st if thats what it is.

 

[Ristifer]

Has Dusk said whether it's first or third person? Because we can just assume the opposite.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I like my OG'S. Game still looks awesome though and i'm getting it day one.

Don't get me wrong. I like the original protagonists as well but limiting a franchise to being the same characters over and over again is going to be stale.

 

[Moridianae]

Yeah, a return to Raccoon City and it's just the one girl?

For certain Leon is in it, since he's the golden boy. But could just as easily do Chris, Jill, Claire, Rebecca, Barry..they all have ties to it.


Who knows..but I'd be willing to bet if any OGs are in it, its Leon

 

[MMaRsu]

Where are u guys getting first person from without gameplay?

 

[ComputerBlue]

Is this going to be set in an urban setting only? I hope so.

 

[Revolutionary]

Where are u guys getting first person from without gameplay?

The few snippets in the hotel seem like they could be first person gameplay.

But yeah it's too early to tell. It's a teaser trailer for a reason.

 

[Danjin44]

Where are u guys getting first person from without gameplay?

Well both R7 and R8 are FP, so figured they gonna go with FP in this game well.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Arsic]

How old would Leon be at this point?

I still think this is a dual protagonist game. Grace and Leon. Grace plays like a Rebecca with her analyst skills, and Leon is the dirty old man who's come to blast zombies. Tasked by the government for one last job.

 

[ArtHands]

Capcom Asia is saying that the main setting is indeed Raccoon City. Implying there's no other main locale

 

[semiconscious]

He lost that jacket in the first chapter of RE4

exactly! so this must be the guy who found it!...

 

[adamsapple]

exactly! so this must be the guy who found it!...

Ada killed that guy in Spain tho

 

[Gitaroo]

did they say it will be playable at gamescon? The fact that Sony didn't get the marketing deal tells me there might not be a VR mode..... hope I am wrong though!

 

[Jesb]

exactly! so this must be the guy who found it!...

It's Luis. He lives!

 

[MiguelItUp]

I just want it to be good. I hope it's better than Village.

 

[Generic]

I hope they never return to action orientated RE. I love this darker direction.

"On-stage at SGF, host Geoff Keighley said Resident Evil Requiem marks a "bold shift for the franchise both in tone and gameplay." Expect "high-stakes cinematic action" on top of survival horror."

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

zero commonalities between RE8 and outlast except for the perspective.

ZERO, NULL, NADA...

nowadays it really is just people looking at the most generic commonality between games, and then directly compare them to eachother.

game is horror themed and first person? it's like Outlast... ignoring the fact that RE8 isn't even the same genre as Outlast.

game has melee combat and a dodge? obviously a souls-like!

game is hard to describe? just call it an action adventure!

that's how games are categorised now apparently.

More referring to RE7, not RE8. RE8 was just shit from the ground up, and is not what i want to see from the RE franchise.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Good they are injecting new blood again, the OG cast are getting old, only sherry and jill are kinda immortal, the rest will be geriatric before we know it.

 

[ResetEraVetVIP]

RE engine is far better.

Lol no.

 

[Evolved1]

where is Jill and Leon...

 

[Bitstream]

It's Luis. He lives!

yeahh I think you're onto something here

 

[kevboard]

More referring to RE7, not RE8. RE8 was just shit from the ground up, and is not what i want to see from the RE franchise.

RE8 is good, first of all...

but even RE7 isn't comparable. Outlast has no combat for example and is 100% a stealth game and only a stealth game... a pretty bad one at that.

RE7 has light stealth elements in select scenes, while it usually is just a watered down first person RE1 wannabe. watered down puzzles, simple combat, interconnected map, boss battles.

it's RE1 in first person and worse. but it's not remotely comparable to Outlast, which has almost no design commonality with it.

Outlast = Walking Sim + Awful Stealth Game
RE7 = Watered down Action Adventure with light Survival elements.
RE1 = Action Adventure with Survival elements

 

[HYDE]

Sure, but that doesn't change it being a fact for the vast majority of people.

Get over it bruh, many more people prefer TP to FP perspective.

 

[adamsapple]

Capcom Asia is saying that the main setting is indeed Raccoon City. Implying there's no other main locale

They tweeted in English too.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Clever

 

[semiconscious]

Ada killed that guy in Spain tho

but did she? really?...

also: ya gotta love 'the creators' profound depth of knowledge'...

 

[Bitstream]

watching it again, the 'have you seen the same shit i've seen' is most definitely chris redfield

looks like the movie se7en was a strong infleunce on the direction of the game, from the visual effects, to the FBI, investigating missing persons, even the screaming mouth with a zoom in of the teeth

 

[Danjin44]

I also dont mind playing as new characters since old character are so experienced in these its hard to get scared for them but I just dont want another faceless character like Ethan.
