Resident Evil Requiem Showcase - January 15th (2pm PT // 5pm ET // 10pm UK)

Playing a little RE2 remake to get hyped up for this next month. Likely my first purchase of 2026. I'm very excited!!!
 
They probably gonna take their time and opportunity to sell Leon in this game.
Hopefully is good, but they know Leon is the bait some fangirls wants.

Re7 worst sin was the enemy variety, killing black blobs was as exciting as a playthrought of dustborn with electrical nipples pincers turned to max voltage...

8 fixed that a bit butcthe lycans didn't had the charm of the old monsters.

Also the protagonist was a dull ass charisma vacuum.

LMAO. These are all really solid arguments. I agree, the lycans didn't really do it for me at all.

Bring back the zombies and the protagonist's that are naive and just trying to survive.

Dude was naive aswell, i mean he is a civilian, but he had no charisma at all.
 
Stayin blind. Seeing that brief footage of the girl walking down the city streets was enough for me.

Playing 7 and 8 right now in tandem though

Reminder for a God of War Ragnarok review :

Puzzling platforming – Navigating the realms requires clever use of Kratos' implements. In one instance I needed to move a pillar blocking the path. This required me to first toss the Leviathan Axe to shatter a log bracing the pillar down, then brandish the Blades of Chaos to wrangle the pillar from the path.

Such clever puzzles

I hated Ethan. Worst main character in the series by a wide margin.

Looking forward to RE9. Would love to see the remake "trilogy" come to Switch though.
 
If there is any hint Leon is less than 50% of the game, I am out.

He should be like 80%. I don't need a walking simulator horror game. Resident Evil has never been about that.

Everything shown in the trailers makes the female lead seem like she is gonna helpless most the time. Who wants half a game like that?
 
I am cautiously optimistic they can combine an RE2 style game with and RE4 style game between Grace and Leon.

I do hope they take a risk and have the game be more open.

I liked the brief glints of it we got with Re8 and re4R that if they were really curated about the side areas and content, it could really bring a level of exploration to the series it's never had.

That being said, it would be real easy for them to shit the bed and go overboard; easier to do so than not too.

My biggest hope is they find a way to finally give us a version of raccoon city we can poke around in, experience side stories, find upgrades and fight some hidden bosses or encounters.

The RE WORLD is so captivating and rich for this type of semi-open exploration, especially revisiting the series (arguably) most iconic locale.

Exactly like X and Nemesis in RE2 and 3. Are you fucking high? You cannot kill Nemesis early in the game, nor X. They are invincible until the game decides you can later in the game.

Nemesis in OG RE3 could definitely be killed. He drops weapons cases that could be combined into a new gun.
 
From the comments in this thread seems like most just want another RE6 with very simple puzzles and nonstop over the top action instead of classic RE. It's really funny the game gets hated on...but it has everything you would want.

Thankfully it seems like we are getting the best of both worlds with the distinction between the different playstyles that are at least apparent with the footage of Grace and Leon.

We need a demo. 12 minutes of footage is not much when you have a 1 month wait in between.

The dream of course is they announce that Requiem will have a Mercenaries AND a Raid Mode.

WellSheet WellSheet It won't be open. RE Engine will make sure of that. Though maybe we will be surprised on Thursday. Semi linear world allowing full exploration of Raccoon City would be something. If we go full Metroidvania that would be something.

Take re8 village and apply that to Raccoon City Ruins with sub areas like the RPD. That's what you will get.

In the recent q+a session with Masato Kumazawa (game director)
Q. The seventh title offered a strong VR experience. Are there any plans to bring parts of this game into VR?

A. At this time, there are no plans to bring any parts of Resident Evil Requiem to VR platforms. However, the game can be played in a first-person perspective, allowing players to feel immersed in the experience. We also have not yet shown much of Leon's gameplay yet, and we plan to share more details in the future.

So probably not unless Sony gives them a sack of cash.

I'd be pretty pleased with that. There was a decent amount to explore in village, with a little open levels exploring fields a bit, visiting various ruined houses, ect. Village kind of felt like they flirted with the idea of open world but decided to keep it to just still a linear setup. Probably safe to say we get a similar setup here. I'm really curious about how they handle a completely ruined raccoon city. It's my most hyped part of the game. It's going to be so surreal going back, especially the rpd.
 
I mentioned this before but are there any better looking indoors sections? The house looks empty and less lived in or detailed than other modern-ish games, it reminds me of the empty, boxy houses of older generations.

I'm playing Uncharted 4 right now on PC and the indoor/house sections, especially in the chapter where you explore a mansion filled with artifacts, are so much better looking despite it being a last gen game. RE8 Village also had more detailed visuals in it's few indoor sections. Maybe even RE7 IIRC.

They're 50/50 and Grace will not be a walking simulator. The devs themselves said Grace's sections will be like RE2R and Leon's will be RE4R.

Hopefully the chick dies to that monster chasing her 5 min into the game and we get a mgs2 surprise with the game being only leon.

A man can hope.

The series already dabbles nicely with metroidvania-esque design, especially the originals/2R/7.

Think God of War 2018/Ragnarok or Jedi Survivor for its layout and design and I'd be in heaven
 
Still no word on if the rumored Jill is in it, right?

But guess I'll have to bust out re7 and finally complete it. Then re8 (Thanks GamePass)

She is not helpless. There is gameplay footage of her fighting. The devs themselves said her sections will be akin to RE2R. Leon represents the RE 4/5/6 style power fantasy while Grace represents old school style RE. That's how I interpret it anyway.
