Lol right? 10 should be easierthey probably had a whole team trying to come up with a way to incorporate a 9 into the title
I like it. But it's even better when they put it in resident evil somehow.Clever![]()
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).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 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.
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.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.
Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living.

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

He's been right a ton on every RE though.He's been wrong plenty before, people need to stop listening 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 bullshitNot 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.

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

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.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 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.
Don't know. But I just want to meet that in VR...![]()
New breed of licker? Perhaps Lisa Trevor?
Yeah, this got me horned up.Can't believe they made her hot, disgusting. I bet this means it will be in 3rd person(giggity).
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
the best graphics!!!
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.So, no Leon/Jill like they were humping in the rumour mills?

STFUCapcom 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.
Steam page up.

FPS tag
Show salvaged. Barely
He's been wrong plenty before, people need to stop listening to him.
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.Metroidvania, lol.
Clearly these are user generated.
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…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
He said Raccoon City is just a place you visit and not the main setting. Which we now know is not the case.
