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

Also, dead zombies not despawning and seemingly with danger mechanic akin to cronos/TEW? That crazy injector in the menu "prevents corpses from mutating"
 
the Game looks fun, but it looked arcadey to me, when the enemies fly after being shot it reminded me of shooters on rails games like time crisis. Also, blood is exaggerated. This game is not grounded in real world physics and weight of the enemies. It looks off. I will buy it, but, it didn't look great to me.

Watched a small amount of gameplay, but I already saw too much and I don't actually want to see anything in game. All it will do is take away from the experience of playing it for the first time.

I'm far more interested in out of game info or other projects they may want to announce, although so far it seems to be statues, the deluxe stuff I don't want, pre-order stuff I don't want, and IRL brand collaborations that I'm pretty sure not a single person anywhere cares about. Currently paused so I can skip past more story spoilers.

I think I've perhaps gone into this with the wrong expectations.
 
Some weird opinions in this thread, lol. I wasn't expecting anything in this showcase, and I thought it was more than fine. We got to see a lot of gameplay, and got some details. I feel like that's pretty decent considering the game releases next month. I don't want them to blow their entire load in one place. My first real hyped title of the year, I hope it lands through and through.
 
Tbh that was fine for me.

Broadly speaking, we were given an idea what to expect. And the less I know the better. These games are always better when you're surprised.

Also, it's RE on REengine so we know how it will perform and how it will play based on previous entries.
 
Ewwwww. That RE6 looking Leon gameplay.

Need a demo to say for sure, but that Leon gameplay has got me feeling cold towards it.

GAF hates literally everything. Most RE fans are hyped af
 
Resident Evil has been reskinning itself for years. New mechanics are minimal at best.

Oh look. another giant that follows you around. Never seen that before.

I can't be the only one seeing this

Even Sony? Nah, also GAF drolls over TLOU and 30fps gaming. Most RE fans being hyped is like irrelevant, they're drones and would be hyped for having to eat real shit with RE name on it.

For me this looked underwhelming.

Same here.

Barely seen or searched anything for the game. I'll be there day one.

Showed you both playable characters, both povs modes, some actual gameplay with the hud and all, new abilities like finally you can be the chainsaw lady.. don't know looks enough for me. Probably lack of demo that pepole wanted.
 
I don't get the hate boner for RE6.

It was incredibly fun with friends in online coop just like RE5. Mercenaries was fun too.

In a world where every post RE6 game was like RE6, okay yeah sure that wouldn't be cool, but that's not what happened and RE6 was fun.
 
This was a perfect teaser for the game -
In my opinion.

I, of course, would like to know more on exploration and such…but, I suspect there will be press previews in the next two weeks

Yeah, which is weird to me, why do people want a demo so bad? The game comes out next month, and it's Resident Evil. Do we really need a demo? Lol.

They are repeating the re 4 5 6 cycle.

7 was brilliant, then Village tried but wasn't as good, then 6 went too big and nobody liked it...
Click to expand...
Eh, I don't know, I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. But of course people have their opinions and that's fine!

I thought the first half of 7 was great, but the second half felt lacking. Village was enjoyable, but felt kind of "on rails" to me, it's hard to describe. But it had some cool scenes, much like 7, and I still thought it was enjoyable. A lot of people appear to be more excited about Requiem, and honestly to me, it looks like the gameplay and immersion will land better than Village did. But we'll see. 🤷‍♂️

Well i wanted the demo to just have a feel of the game and to see how it runs on PS5, obviously it's not that important as like you said it will soon released and we will have all the info.

Now let us pray that there is a full-on RPG Resident Evil 9 Raid Mode, using the maps, areas, enemies, and playable characters from 2 Remake, 3 Remake, 4 Remake, 7, and 8.

I need to hear and see this again, just one more time:

Would be amazing. Raid Mode is best mode.

----------

Looks like it's a split campaign and it'll be RE2 and RE6. I see Stealth finishers and Leon Wick Kennedy and I just smile.

Looks like a fun time.

Yeah, I feel that. I mean, the RE Engine has been pretty consistent with each title, the optimization and all. So, I'm sure it'll be along the lines of what we expect, especially since it doesn't look drastically different than Village. Which, isn't a bad thing, the engine looked and performed great there. Not gonna lie, if the demo existed, I'd definitely check it out. I guess I just didn't realize so many people were really banking on it. I'm assuming it's just another rumored source that fell flat, lol. But yeah, just a few weeks and we'll be playing it ourselves.

Wonder why they dont do official randomizer mod. Those mods are so popular on PC, it really is a nobrainer to implement something like that officially
Click to expand...
For real, especially with the success of roguelikes. I feel like that would land a lot better than another "meh" multiplayer mode, lol.
 
Looks real good to me. Leon's sections reminded me of RE4R, not RE6 (thankfully).

It's actually a little too grisly IMO but I'll probably still buy it.

I keep waiting and hoping. Raid Mode 2 was great because those previous games used the same engine so they just added the levels and characters into it. Imagine how much they could add in Raid mode 3, with all of these new RE Engine games.
Click to expand...
The more I think about it Raid Mode was just an RE version of Phantasy Star Online in a way and that was really nice.
------------
Can Leon slide in this game. I have to know. Sliding is cool.

 
Looks pretty good I'm more excited for Grace parts than Leon's tbf.leons just looks like a time attack mode,kill as many as you can ect.

The whole partnership with car brand and watch brand was weird and off-key for me. Not interested in that shit just give me true survival horror and a good story.

Will buy on release but hoping there's more grace than Leon from what I've seen.
 
It makes sense that Leon is a badass pro zombie hunter at this point, but I'm curious to see how well both gameplay styles fit together.

Jumping from one style to another might feel a bit unnatural, but we'll see.

I've been a fan of Resident Evil since the first game, and I love what I see.

It feels more like Resident Evil than 7 and 8 combined.
And Leon's gameplay is clearly inspired by 4.
 
Besides RE6, Revelations kind of did the "part horror, part action" thing. It wasn't terrible, although the action side here looks a lot more fun than what Revelations did.
 
This has a chance to surpass Resident Evil 4 as my favorite Resident Evil game. This Showcase got me hyped, 7 and 8 not for me. I like my Resident Evil's in 3rd Person with action. Capcom bringing me back in with RE9!
 
Hopefully the Grace sections aren't scripted, I couldn't get into RE7 because of that, "you have to hide here, the run to that room, the wait until the guy does this and then...and then". Just let me play or run a cinematic not this in-between bullshit.
