re: RE9 - honest opinion

They put a sort of road map for the DLC and a video out on twitter. I’m still at work right now I’m sure someone who uses it can post though if you want from capcoms account.

First thing is a photo mode and “new mode” and mini game in may. As well as confirming story expansion I mentioned above being deep in development but will take time.

The most reliable leaker from RE Dusk Gollum, said the original plan was to cover the space between this game and the launch of code Veronica’s remake the story dlc would come out but since RE9 hit delays it’s much further in development

I'm doing a replay myself and I noticed the same thing, RE9 has way more "downtime" segments than usual. Probably due to all the shifts of location and shifts in playable characters.

These sorta segments usually serve as transitions and there are way more transitions in this game than usual.

These sorta segments are not that bad the first time but boy are they painful on replays. They are all thankfully short but they still feel long because there is literally nothing meaningful to do. They are just cut scenes you are forced to move around in.

I wanted to kill myself every time I had to redo the orphanage section

That was genuinely one of the worst designed, cheesiest, and over-the-top gameplay levels ever put to a game.

Bro you are very hyperbolic with this game It's a 10 min fully scripted segment that is annoying at worst

As more and more time passes, people will realize that this wasn’t as great of a game as people think. The insane marketing hype deluded people into thinking that it was a lot better of a game than it really is.

It's a fine and polished game, but you're right - it doesn't reach the heights of RE2make, RE4make, or RE7. I'd put it above 8 and 3make obviously though

0 was supposed to come first then Code Veronica then 1. Its development was totally rehauled through apparently pushing code Veronica first which thankfully had said to be a very smooth development. He did say one massive change is being made to the end of the game where the whesker Chris cutscene fight is a boss fight and Chris’s won’t fight Alexia. Since she’s the final boss I’m guessing she will become Claire’s somehow in a lot less linear game

This stuff comes from the guy who leaks everything for RE, but also confirmed castings have been uncovered for “project chambers” under capcom working with the mocap studio from 4remske and that’s very obvious confirmation of RE 0, since Rebecca Chambers lol, so I would be comfortable believing this is all true.

He said some more stuff about how the game will be altered a good amount, far more than any of the other remakes from the original. Which is good if you ask me because 0 sucks.

Ended with RE1 is if anything barely even in preproduction and the pipeline unless something’s changed significantly

Code Veronica next year late Feb
0 year after same time
RE10 unknown
RE1 remake

I loved the game as i do all of them. The pacing could have been done a bit better in RC with leon as i just thought it became too repetitive with the same generic zombies. Wish they would have had a bit more variety of new enemies that were few but more scary and difficult to defeat to give it that horror aspect like they did the first half of the game with the girl and chunk.

Having a little time to think on this game, its definitely a middle of the pack game. I can appreciate the premise of two separate resident evil styles being blended together, but I think the high point was the hospital. Wish they could have kept the pacing a little more even with exploration versus action. Grace was left with very little to do on the back end and her role ultimately didn't feel super consequential for me. You could have had a lucky guess to come up with 'hope' by reviewing some of Spencer's journals/musings in his final years.

I'm still laughing at 'not Wesker' being there simply to throw up a little fanservice until he gets unceremoniously decapitated. I figure he was just there to get people used to the idea of Wesker clones so they can find a way to resurrect Albert. Another fun theory I read is that since he was affiliated with the Connections, he could potentially have mold powers that elpis would not have cured and could potentially be 'saved' since mold monsters are damn near unkillable. Time will tell.

I totally missed it because it was a very subtle reveal. There was some online discussion about it but I thought it was just people being fan boys and girls and I didn't realize it was a genuine discussion.

At the end of the game when Leon takes his gloves off he has a wedding ring on.

Lot of fans noticed and began speculating. Capcom confirmed it but obviously didn't say who, said it would be made clear. Great DLC tease which was probably the entire point.

I personally think it will be Claire
