they probably had a whole team trying to come up with a way to incorporate a 9 into the title
 
So... no awesome island locale, no leon or jill, looks like all the rumors were pulled straight from peoples asses. everyone would do well to remember this for next time, duskgolem is just some rando chasing clout
He's not out of the game yet. Nothing has been directly contradicted. He specifically said the Singapore island location was scrapped, as was Jill. He also said you play as Leon with a newcomer. He also mentioned the new location is more gothic horror (which fits that new hotel location Alyssa is investigating. He also mentioned this having the biggest budget and scope in the series, as well as it being a massive re-invention of the series on the level of 4 and 7 (though jury is out on this last part).


He also teased the "Requiem" tag before reveal.


These are his newer claims after reveal.


He's still doubling down on Leon being main with most of the game played as him. He also states we visit Raccoon but it's not the primary location.

He's been wrong plenty before, people need to stop listening to him.
 
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.
The publishers and devs in this industry no longer feel any desire to actually entice people on buying their games, and the gaming media and gaming internet allows it.

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

Not saying anyone is wrong, but I feel like if Raccoon City is heavily shown and Leon isn't shown at all, it goes against everything he's saying here. I also feel like any teaser of a new RE would still prominently feature Leon if he's the main protagonist.

He's been right a ton on every RE though.

I get writing him off for other series leaks, but it legit doesn't make sense to write him off for RE. Those leaks are the reason people listen to him.

I've heard that take too, but I could see them not wanting to overshadow the newcomer yet. He's claiming Leon is going to be heavily featured in future media/ad releases so we'll see. Game isn't far off, and the Leon thing has been his main claim this whole time. It'll be an easy confirmation or damning bullshit

¿?

It was an announcement trailer, doesn't need minutes of gameplay. We'll get that at Gamescom, they already said enough.

getting the title from a friend at capcom or an industry insider isn't really a big deal, it reveals literally nothing about the game.
Until big dick leon is shown in a trailer, nothing he says should be trusted.

It was a bad announcement trailer, and I'm at a point where I need to see gameplay, especially for sequels. And especially for sequels with boring cinematic trailers with absolutely no hook.

I guess we watched different trailers, plenty of interesting hooks in that trailer and plenty of deep cuts for long standing fans as well.

I think he will be a support character for the fbi agent. Think the fbi contacts Leon to help out with the investigation since he has so much history with raccoon city.
 
First next gen only RE game, I hope they will go HARD

Really want them to keep leaning on the « adventure horror » that worked so well for 7 and 8, and that they don't go full blown action instead.

I feel they will take a playful take communicating around this title, Kojima style. Leon could still very much be the protagonist in this, I think they are hiding their cards
 
Looks first person again, if so I'll buy it but....meh
Now if it's 3rd Person, that's a different story and I'm excited as fuck.
 
I dunno. Call me crazy but I think a Resident Evil game where you return to the ruins of Raccoon City is one serious goddamn hook.

Yep, I don't get that point at all, lol.

Being disappointed because they didn't show gameplay, sure, I get that. But that trailer was chock full of "hooks".
 
As much as I love Leon, I kinda would rather spend the game playing as Grace. That new blood can't get going if you stifle it with the legends of the past at every turn.
 
Wait... but who played outbreak?! It's not on any modern system and never was on pc.
So weird to connect re9 to that?

No direct connection to 4,5,6,7,8 ... but to re3(ruined city) and outbreak? (ashcroft)

edit: Village plot was so stupid lol

Played both File 1 and File 2

Remastering such a thing would be costly as they would have to renetwork quite a bit even if they put it on PS3, but to put it on PS4, PS5, we are now talking about remake areas and would need a massive gameplay overhaul. So maybe they can do a remaster that has zero online, just so folks can play the originals solo and do a remake with new networking features, gameplay features and tie in the story better.


Some of the games mention characters from Outbreak, but even me being a big RE fan doesn't even care about half the shit they are talking about, I feel they need to tie in better and most will not just see some random file in an RE game and be like "OHHHH that is the name of that character from the game that came out 20 years ago" lol

I beat RE7 like 10 times and it was some random youtube video that I found that talked about some of the characters being mentioned in some file..

So they are referenced, but not real direct thing like seeing the character or them playing a big role in some future game etc
 
Capcom just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase RE Requiem for any system, nor will they purchase any of Capcom's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Capcom has alienated an entire market with this move.
Capcom, publicly apologize and beg Sony to retroactively include RE Requiem as part of their latest State of Play or you can kiss your business goodbye.
 
So, no Leon/Jill like they were humping in the rumour mills?
Leon/Jill/Ada in Singapore in a true open-world was from an earlier, different version of this game -- RESIDENT EVIL APOCAIXPSE -- which was canned back in 2021/2022, two years ahead of its planned launch (would'be been out by now), and rebooted into what has become RE Requiem.

A real shame. They should've done both games.

RE has one of the best track records in gaming history. I don't even need to see a trailer to know this'll be a day 1.

STFU
 
I would have preferred a "closing to the trilogy" of Re2 and Re4 but I will hold out hope. If anything, it'll be a fun romp.
 
It feels weird not seeing Ethan round up the triology as the main character, or at least be Rose. When i saw the blonde female character on the trailer's thumbnail, that's who i thought it was.

Anyway, i love RE so i'm definitely looking forward to it.
 
Going back to a post-nuclear bombed out Raccoon City was NOT what I expected. Also, I never played the Outbreak games myself, so I guess I got some catching up to do. Lastly, don't bother listening to Dusk Golem anymore. Just a waste of time. This atmosphere feels super different this time around, and I'm all for that.

As far as the game goes, I AM FUCKING SOLD.

Metroidvania, lol.

Clearly these are user generated.
Initial tags are developer generated and someone else noticed it pretty quickly after the page went live. I guess some mega fans or bots could've been spam refreshing for the sole purpose of getting that tag on the page as soon as possible to troll everyone or whatever. We'll find out soon enough either way.

The creature on the wall looks like a first person shot to me with the way the camera moves.
 
Isnn't is strange to build it around side games? I bet many people have no idea who alyssa is and that racoon city was bombed.
I had to google it. I never played outbreak
Literally what? The city was bombed in RE2-3..A real fan would fucking know this…The REMAKES SHOW THIS TOO…Nothing about the nuking of Raccoon City is a side story…
Also why the fuck would it being connected to 4-5-6-7-8 directly make it any better? Most RE fans have huge amounts of nostalgia for RE1-3, those are the best, most iconic entries in the series and none of the sequels post 3 have ever recaptured what made those originals so damn good. Outbreak was set at the same time, and many of its characters have been referenced in later games.
If anybody playing RE has no idea about RC being bombed then their opinion is literally invalid.
 
Seems we're going full circle with this one, seeing heavy Evil Within vibes as well (directed by Shinji Mikami who also directed RE1 & Remake, RE4 OG, Dino Crisis, etc.)

He said Raccoon City is just a place you visit and not the main setting. Which we now know is not the case.



Has historically been wrong after initial Village and 3make showings as well. Claimed RE3 will feature the clock tower and Capcom was just holding back on showing it, for example.

Now after tooting the horn that Jill will be in the game, as soon as the trailer and PR came out, he's on Twitter saying that it's Grace and Leon now.
 
In my veins, RE is day 1 always and forever. I find it amusing that all these leaks and "insiders" were completely wrong about everything lol, no Leon, no witches etc. at least based on this reveal, let's wait to find out more.
