RE9 official thread: Launches 2/27 No Spoilers; info inside about 2 campaigns and gameplay

Just locked in my preorder on ps5.



This game looks insanely good, the amount of enemies and dynamic actions on screen when Leon is fighting in the streets in the state of play trailer is super impressive. Early unofficial reviews from RE insiders say the game is extremely good, but that it does heavily tie into an obscure RE game called outbreak in its story and only does an ok job of filling in what players who aren’t familiar with it need to know, which I guess will be most.

People got to play a 3 hour portion of the game. There’s 2 campaigns with grace playing more like RE2 and RE7 and Leon playing more like he did in 4 remake. It’s not totally clear to me if these are totally separate like Claire and Leon in RE2 or it’s all in one playthrough alternating. I do know and have been told that items used and enemies killed in one will not show up or impact the other though harkening back to the zapping system in OG RE2. Crimson heads from RE1 remake are also back just with a different name I think but are mechanically literally the same, you have to burn them just like in that game or they will return

They’re doing something a little neat with the difficulty as well. Normal or standard difficulty now has 2 settings they describe as modern and classic. I. The classic one all saves require an ink ribbon like the old game and there’s very few auto saves, whereas modern keeps the same difficulty setting but lets you save without ink ribbons and has the auto save systems we save first start in re2 remake. I like this a lot because it means you don’t have to play on hardcore, even though I will be, if you want to have a little bit more difficulty just by managing your saves

Can’t wait
