Love fan fiction.

 

[The Cockatrice]

ctr-f release date

 

[Nankatsu]

So Chris will cosplay Otacon, is that it?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[deriks]

Another stalker...

Capcom, get your shit together

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

All these characters and yet no mention of Jake Wesker... soon... soon.

 

[Big Baller]

In DuskGolem we trust

 

[Melchiah]

Stalker enemies return

Leon will be stalked by a constant enemy

No thanks.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Love fan fiction.

I know man, reads like shit fan fiction. But then again, a lot of the Resident Evil games are basically on that level.

Looks like Silent Hill is top dog now.

 

[Power Pro]

I'd be happier if it wasn't another use of imposter Jill from that stupid movie...

Bring back the real Jill!

 

[Badlucktroll]

Is it first person? But i am so down if its 3rd person resident evil 4 remake on steroids

 

[hemo memo]

No thanks.

This. It's scary the first time, but it becomes really annoying really fast.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

No thanks.

Yep, I'm out. Can't stand that shit.

 

[Roufianos]

Is it first person? But i am so down if its 3rd person resident evil 4 remake on steroids

This is literally the difference between this being my most hyped game and just a 'meh'.

 

[Gonzito]

Is this written by ChatGPT?

 

[niilokin]

I really want the dark forest and goatman part!

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I hope this turns out to be true. I can't wait for the next game.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Can't wait to see Leon again. I'm a bit confused with Evelin but I mean if you played Shadow of Roses you'd know she's still around anyway.

I don't like the stalker idea, because for most of my casuals friends they thought RE2 was very stressful and didn't end up finishing because of it.. I understand the thrill behind it but some people really don't like it

 

[Dutchy]

Loved RE7/8 for what it is but I hope that someday they will ditch the supernatural stuff and go back to bioterrorism again as it's infinitely more creepy and immersive imo.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Fuck the mold.

And fuck Evelyne clones. Why does Capcom have such a boner for her? She's a lousy villain.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Never beat 7 or played 8. Now that I have VR I may have to try these leading up to 9. Sounds like cool details

 

[GymWolf]

Last main re i really enjoyed was 5 so i don't have big hopes anymore especially if it's another first person re.

Also after seeing how wilds look and run, good luck on having an open world re game...

 

[xVodevil]

Wanna say just announce it already, but I guess I'd rather prefer if there is only a shorter gap between reveal and release.

 

[Skifi28]

Please give me a third person option that isn't DLC.

 

[Moses85]

Sounds

 

[Kerotan]

Any metal gear solid fan's here sick of seeing resi fans so happy?

 

[thekillergreece]

CAPCOM is one of the few companies with stringent leak control. Most, if not all, older leaks turned out to be false.

 

[lh032]

No thanks.

agreed. Fuck that

 

[Chechack]

How am i suppose to pronouncr evilx

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Resident Evil might have the stupidest story arc ever. I really wish they'd give it a break and reboot it clean with a new beginning in a few years.

 

[Darkkahn]

Who is Jull?

 

[Moses85]

Who is Jull?

Jills Mother

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Can't wait. Village was amazing.

 

[GudOlRub]

I don't really care about the story, just give me more first person games with a focus on horror.
If they go back to RE4 style of gameplay then I guess Resident Evil will be dead to me once again until Capcom decides to go back to RE7's style.
Big ass ladies like Alcina Dimitescu for me to chase around are also appreciated. K thx bye.

 

[Just_one]

Can't wait. Village was amazing.

In 3rd person

 

[Northeastmonk]

Village was fantastic. The moody atmosphere and the locations were great. They could throw in the 3rd person mode again for the people who want that.

I would be surprised if this is real or not. It’s odd how these “leaks” happen to Capcom. They did have that huge data breach not too long ago. You also see the same 1-2 people spilling the beans.

 

[Roman Empire]

Not believing this, many of these could apply to any RE game.

 

[TastyPastry]

having leon and jill in the same game and interacting would make me coom. especially if jill cures leon of his ada simping. they had great chemistry in death island too.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Stalker enemies are possibly the dumbest shit invented in gaming to me. "Tension" derived from enemies I can't kill doesn't work for me. It makes me not want to play a game that has no mechanics to engage with a cheap gotcha enemy. Why no traps, proper stealth mechanics or anything then? Just feels like the same shit but now I have to run away and awkwardly stand in a room until the shitty AI stops teleporting on my ass.

One nurse encounter on Hard in SH2R is more tension-filled than a full game of Hide & Seek Horror to me.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Ngl it sounds real.

I dig the idea of an isolated island worshipping the Goat Man.

I detest the idea of fighting an island of mass produced Eveline.

Hopefully this is legit and 9 will close out the metamucyete and Umbrella Blue narrative.

 

[Ozriel]

I’m game if it isn’t first person

 

[GrayChild]

having leon and jill in the same game and interacting would make me coom. especially if jill cures leon of his ada simping. they had great chemistry in death island too.

NO!

Leon must continue the Redfield bloodline!

 

[saintjules]

Is it first person? But i am so down if its 3rd person resident evil 4 remake on steroids

No 3rd person, no buy.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

NO!

Leon must continue the Redfield bloodline!

I've never seen this and wow, where to even start quoting.

"You really need to fuck Chris' sister, Claire." and it's all downhill.

Looool

"No way f*g"
"GODDAMNIT LEON"

There's an entire series based on this clip. It's a separate meta, which spiraled out of control over the past few years.





And my absolute favorite:



It's about time Capcom acknowledges this as canon.

 

[Arachnid]

I hope we get a choice to play the majority of the game as Leon like RE2make. I really don't want to play as RE3make/Death Island Jill again. I don't even want GOAT Leon to share the spotlight

Julia Voth or bust.

 

[Sooner]

Love fan fiction.

It's nearly impossible for fan fiction to be any more absurd or ridiculous than actual Resident Evil plot.

And, I say that as someone who might consider RE as my favorite franchise.

 

[Bitstream]

Glad to see it was playtested already, hoping we get to see some footage soon. Despite its nonsense story, RE games have been consistently above average in a sea of open world slop.
