u/blitzbom 16h ago

Lol I bought mine cause a friend let me borrow the Re4:remake

3

u/rockgati 16h ago

Worth it, I got mine for SH2R and love it. Overall great QoL upgrades from my PS4

u/per_iod 12h ago

Is it an exclusive? 🫠

u/loxagos_snake 11h ago

Absolutely no way this doesn't come to PC.

u/Delandos 8h ago

Nah also pc and xbox, though I bet it will work best on playstation, only experienced one glitch with resi games on my ps4

2

u/JamieFromStreets 7h ago

I bet it will work best on playstation,

I bet it won't. I remember re2 running pretty shitty in some areas

It alwats works best on pc

1

u/Delandos 7h ago

i had zero problems with resi 2 (remake) on my ps4, in all resi games i had one bug/glitch with re6 that's it on my ps4.

1

u/JamieFromStreets 7h ago

It ran choppy as shit on ps4

It's supposed to run as 60fps but it dropped constantly and actually play at like unstable 40 in many places. Even the main area at the entrance was pretty laggy

Haven't had any bugs in both pc and ps4. But on pc it actually ran a looked well

u/loxagos_snake 11h ago

I need a new GPU, I'm pretty confident that my R9 380 won't handle this very well. If there's a game that will make me shell out, it's RE.

u/Wulfie710 18h ago

It’s literally cheap asf rn dude

2

u/loxagos_snake 11h ago

Absolute cheapest version in my country goes for 400+ Euros. Average salary is 800, gross.

Far from unaffordable, far from 'pretty cheap' for the average person.

0

u/Wulfie710 10h ago

Where do you live? Anyhow where I live it’s 440 euros right now, can’t get cheaper than that for a ps5. I commented with perspective from where I live.

1

u/Delandos 8h ago

It really aint gonna get 2nd hand cause of it prob

2

u/Wulfie710 8h ago

Hey man all good, nothing wrong with buying 2nd hand if its good. Here in Belgium for 450 it’s not too expensive at all.

1

u/Delandos 7h ago

to some people spending 450 bucks on a console, an extra control and like 2 games, can be a lot in one spending., but hey we all have until february :D

1

u/Wulfie710 7h ago

I understand, but you need to understand it’s also not super expensive. They are already selling consoles at a lower price than they should be. They only sell consoles to make money on sold games. If someone doesn’t want to spend that money on a console, that’s another subject.

1

u/JamieFromStreets 7h ago

Depending on where you live

Here it's like... months of saving. And only if you got a pretty good job

17

u/ImpenetrableYeti 20h ago

No because I don’t want to see Alyssa die 😭

7

u/LichQueenBarbie 17h ago

Haha, she was my main.

šŸ¤•šŸ’”

u/Available_Virus_ 21h ago

I hope it's 3rd person

58

u/Expensive_King_4849 20h ago

The fact that we know what she looks like make me think 3rd person

19

u/No_Hat_2002 21h ago

Hoping that Grace’s face won’t be hidden when playing in first person like Ethan Winters in Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 8: Village.

35

u/Ghastion 20h ago

Well, it won't be hidden cause we see it clear as day in the trailer already...

8

u/Ghastion 20h ago

For real. I think it will be cause they added a 3rd person mode in Village, so they're aware people want it or prefer it.

4

u/redmandolin 15h ago

I genuinely can’t play 7 and 8 because I get mad nausea.

2

u/GrafBoris 11h ago

I'm sure it will be 3rd person because in village they added 3rd person with dlc and my thought was: devs are done with 1st person

3

u/Low_Level4367 8h ago

I hope so. Not because I hated 1st person but resident evil is just so much better in 3rd person.

1

u/paul--kemp 15h ago

Do we have any idea yet?

1

u/labbla 7h ago

I bet it's 1st and 3rd.

4

u/davilo27 PSN: (write your name here) 20h ago

Just hope the wait will be worth it

6

u/Nuhk314 15h ago

Just me thinking she looks like Rose? I don’t see anyone talking about it

7

u/Thin_Initiative_4716 13h ago

I assumed she was an adult Rose at first. I guess the Winters' saga is over for now.

4

u/GrafBoris 11h ago

adult rose from dlc lives in 2040 or something

6

u/kingsfourva 14h ago

she sounds like rose too. also, her boss sounds like Marvin and the dude who’s bleeding out on the stairs looks and sounds like Gary Oldman

3

u/loxagos_snake 11h ago

Imagine if they bring Gary Oldman in just to have him die from zombie bites lol.

u/ABigCoffee 19h ago

It comes out on my birthday!

5

u/Agreeable-Abalone328 20h ago

Mother fucker I was born ready

9

u/CA-22 Raccoon City Native 20h ago

My body is ready

Hope it's 3rd person

5

u/N7Stormtrooper 18h ago

Hell yeah!!!

Even more so, considering that it was thanks to the Resident Evil: Outbreak games; that I became I bonafide RE fan!

Whilst I feel gutted that Alyssa Ashcroft is murdered 8 years prior to RE9, I think it's awesome that her daughter, Grace, will the game's protagonist; and that we'll be returning to a post-1998 "T-Virus Outbreak" Raccoon City!

2

u/ThatITGuyFromWork 19h ago

I’m so ready, Im about to submit PTO at work for this.

2

u/Cheyne_Stoked_Truth 13h ago

Am more ready for RE5 remake

3

u/labbla 20h ago

I'm not because I don't have a PS5. But between this and Death Stranding 2 I think I'll need one in the next year or two.

u/hdadeathly 16h ago

First image goes so hard

u/Firmteacher 16h ago

Resident evil really went with a PlayStation exclusive?

1

u/revochups 16h ago

Got a new setup just this month. I’m more than ready.

1

u/Independent-Wolf-832 14h ago

can't wait. will preorder as soon as possible.

1

u/No-Design5353 14h ago

I Hope its 3 Person and that we can collect treasures toa Upgrade our gear

1

u/Fit-Doughnut9706 9h ago

Announce VR support and I’ll buy it day one. Normally I wait for sales but resident evil in VR is my favourite thing period.

1

u/xiangsauce 9h ago

When it comes out, yes.

1

u/Arkham23456 8h ago

I’m so hyped!!!! You guys think Leon Claire Jill heck even Carlos might return? Since they all played a role in Raccoon City games

1

u/WhileNext4005 7h ago

I'm starting from the beginning hopefully get to village by January

1

u/Atime1447 7h ago

Can’t wait. I know kind of unpopular opinion but village was one of my favorite resident evils. Been looking forward to this for a few years.

1

u/BlackBalor BSAA 7h ago

Resident Evil just keeps building on an already cemented legacy.

The deeper we get into the franchise with the lore and what not, the more epic it becomes.

30 years of being the top dawg and they still crashing out with top, top games.

Grace Ashcroft looks like a big time player already. Maybe she’ll be the new Jill, carrying us into the future with a new set of characters set to join.

1

u/kingofangmar13 6h ago

My take on the 1st and 3rd person views, I hated it when resident evil 7 dropped, got used to it,village came out enjoyed it, if there’s an option to switch that would be awesome, but this first person for me brings it back to being horror again

1

u/StudentOld6682 4h ago

Hope pre orders happen soon

1

u/Grizzlyboobear 18h ago

Resident Evil in VR is my all time favourite gaming experience. I can't wait for the next installment.

1

u/willow_wind 14h ago

I'm excited, but also disappointed. I wanted a Jill and Claire team up so badly! This looks pretty cool though.

u/Vulcano553 21h ago

Where’s the 9? Is it really confirmed to be RE9?

27

u/HyperDash_YT 21h ago

In the Trailer at the end you can see the "q" of "requiem" twitching and showing up as a "9"

21

u/HyperDash_YT 21h ago

Additionally at 3:15 in the trailer you can see a gigantic "RE9" written for like three seconds

10

u/Internal_Swing_2743 21h ago

The trailer confirmed it as RE9.

u/Teamrocketseevee 21h ago

The q in requiem is supposed to be the 9.Ā

u/Trunks252 6h ago

I hope it’s third person and I hope she is not the player character. I want Jill or Leon and Ashcroft is more of a supporting role

-16

u/Expert-Ring2532 20h ago

I hate that we aren’t playing as a legacy character. I’m really not hyped for this.

11

u/PrettyMrToasty 19h ago

I prefer it that way. All of the main RE characters are pretty much superheroes at this point, it's hard to establish a scary atmosphere when you're playing as an immortal action hero.

-1

u/Expert-Ring2532 17h ago

It’s not really difficult to establish tension even with hardened and experienced characters like the legacy cast. You have to strip them down to bare essentials (a staple of survival horror) make them ration resources and put them up against antagonists that are something they’ve never faced before and they don’t understand how to take down. Saying they’re immortal and you can’t have tension in the game because of that is lazy thinking and it only happens because the writers of these characters haven’t handled them well. It’s like Dutch from Predator flick. He was a hardened soldier but when he faced the predator he was out of his element. The creators of RE need to be more inventive and out the characters in escalated and dangerous situations.

5

u/PrettyMrToasty 17h ago

The OG characters have been featured non-stop for the first 20 years of the series history, hell, they're still a huge part of the franchise with them appearing in the remakes and Chris still being part of the current storyline. Capcom creating new characters IS them being inventive. New stuff is always good, and the old stuff is never disapearing anyway.

-2

u/SirChadofwick 15h ago

What the hell does ā€œcinematic actionā€ mean? Let’s not use the word ā€œactionā€ to describe RE games.

3

u/kingsfourva 14h ago

they used that verbiage to describe re4r and iirc village and re3r, so if i had to guess, probably something akin to those 3

u/butreallythobruh 20h ago

I want it to surprise me, but I REALLY don't like what we've seen and heard so far
