RE9 RE Showcase 1/15
- Thread starter Chris Red
- Start date
Full teaser here:
I'm a little concerned that the gun in Grace's 1st person gameplay is in the middle of the screen directly below the cross hairs, instead of off to the side. I was always going to play it in 3rd person over the shoulder anyway, but this seems a bit odd for those with a preference for 1st person.

Much prefer the middle of the screen. Great improvement. Aiming down sight is how it always should be, unless you're hip-firing.
First-person will be my go-to.
I suppose it's more realistic like how you would actually hold a gun so they probably did it for greater immersion, but doesn't it obscure your view. In RE7 & 8 the guns are offset to the side a bit.
A lot of shooters have this thing in their story modes where after something noteworthy happens, something will pull your gun down like it’s trying to immerse you in the scene. I guess that’s what they’re going for in 1st person.
On that note shooting games have been pulling the gun closer and closer towards the middle of the screen after 2012 I feel like.

Yeah it makes sense if what they are going for is maximum immersion.
Correct.
Something I admired about 'Not A Hero' in RE7 was the way Chris's gunplay worked. I forget how it was in RE8, since I only played through it once.
Glad that seems to be making a return. Grace and Leon should be more adept at firearms than Ethan, after all. For me personally, it makes for a better experience. Immersion is key for me, especially in a Resident Evil title.
Leon's gameplay looks absolutely insane, genuinely really impressed with how they improved his melee from RE4 and made them contextual. The one point where he spins around a zombie and turns and blows his head off made me shout. That said, while I'm still excited for Grace it makes me bit worried that her gameplay will feel sluggish in comparison. I did enjoy when she injected a zombie with a syringe and it exploded into a fountain of blood though. Game is looking great.
As good as it looks though, that still felt like such a tease. They're being so strangely secretive. The game is a month away and I still feel like we haven't really seen a whole lot. Not to mention it looks like all the gameplay they've shown off so far takes place in Rhode Hill. We have yet to see anything about Raccoon City aside from the few glimpses they've shown. We also haven't seen much in terms of enemy variety outside of the quick new one they showed today (which gave heavy Village Baby vibes). I'm definitely hyped though and really can't wait to see more.

Christ they’re bringing back wallsplats with i-frames. Leon’s sections is going to be a complete cakewalk for any player from what I can see, unless the zombies start toting revolvers or mutating.
Yeah I agree this marketing campaign is such a tease. It feels like we don't know that much more than what we knew after the Leon reveal trailer. Nakanishi even says "There is still so much that I want to share about RE Requiem. So I hope you all stay tuned until the release". Well there's not much time left until release, I wonder if they are still working hard to get some things polished to show off, like the open outdoor areas in the city. Also do we actually get to drive the car or is it just for cut scenes.
All that being said, I can't wait to play it ... The wait is driving me crazy
Antique coins in Leon's campaign confirmed!

I reacted to the event... and I'm surprised they did a lot to the game.
They really tried to refine the gameplay to use the idea of uniformity of gameplay based on the story. So, you can go RE4-style guns blazing, or you can go stealth, no matter the character. Leon is obviously the refined character of the two. i feel like they got used to RE Engine enough to make all this happen. This makes playthroughs/walkthroughs different on youtube, by the way. They're trying to do more to treat the game like a metroidvania where there's stuff to do regardless of how many times you play.

I feel like that's just recoil/ricochet animation. I mean, the gun is yuge.
I didn’t want to get my hopes up after he referenced Jake a while back but shit—Going out of your way to clarify re6 is canon, there’s no way Sherry won’t be in the game now in some kind of capacity.
I always knew capcom was fucking goated after re5 but hot damn…this shit means something to me man
I'm pretty stunned that they held back as much as they did and still have us in one of the first areas of the game after all these reveals. I also very much like it, love going in this dark, would be a first honestly. With that said, I know they love to show damn near the entire game in final trailers in the past which pop up mere weeks or even days before release, that's it for me... I'm out. I'll post the press releases, etc. to keep the site updated but I'm going in dark from here on out. We waited years for this game, a month to go I'm not trying to spoil it now.
See you on the other side!
See you in Raccoon City! I'll still be around, discussing and posting all news as it's my duty... but as far as deep diving I'm doing my best to stay out of any footage revealed beyond obvious unmissable headlines. We're so close at last!
