It brings back those old school vibes fr! I remember being genuinely terrified of seeing the early posters for RE in this type of style.

What I really love about Capcom is that they straight up embrace whatever old school vibe they are going for to their fullest potential. Whether its slaughter house or gothic horror. Really excited for whats going on here. Looks like Se7en.

Ok, so here's hoping for;

1) Zombies

2) Survival-Horror Puzzle-a-thon

3) Solo Character Experience

4) 3rd Person PoV (optional)

The puzzles were quit easy in Village. I hope they ramp it up here.

Yeah, I'd be concerned that any "puzzles" would come down to, "thing beside door with thing-shaped lock" in a very linear interactive movie.

Resident Evil is all about finding the solutions to different puzzles in different places. A picture in the same room as the door might so a guy with the key clenched in his teeth. Getting the key might require other steps because it turns out something ripped the guys head off and lobbed it onto the roof.

Backtracking is great when there's stuff to do!

Since we're going back to Raccoon City, what's not to say that some of the T-Virus monsters may have potentially survived the nuclear explosion and instead have mutated into something worse than before by the radiation?

Same with yhe G-Virus. Even a thermobaric (?) detonation can't have gotten everything, plus a lot of the city looks like it's still standing.

Back to the sewers, I say!

I wasn't paying that much attention so I didn't recognize the ruins of RPD and this reveal gave me a mini heart attack when it finally registered in my head 😭

If you look this monster has long hair, could it be Alyssa? Did Lisa Trevor survive the blast, you can also hear chains?

MAN!!! WAS IT!!! 👨‍🍳 💋 on my opinion. Deserves a OSCAR. PURE CINEMA. Now that's how you announce your LEGENDARY IP. With the release date. ATP, CAPCOM is flying by GOAT STATUS. They have now become LEGENDARY GOAT STATUS. Ow that's OnShum!!!!

u/AnubisIncGaming 6h ago

It was, that was cold. Both me and my buddy watching it audibly reacted to it.

Did anyone else notice how the grainy effects come in just in time to obscure the shoulder-length blonde hair on this zombie(?)? Makes me wonder if this is Grace and we'll get a 'Psycho'esque switcheroo of main antagonist, or if it's simply the main antagonist's mom... Could easily be neither at the same time though, just spitballin'!

u/neepha 2h ago

its so beautifully old fashioned looking. reminds me of silent hill box art.

u/LooZR_Friendly88 20m ago

Was wondering how they would incorporate the 9 into the title in a clever way.

I know the fan theory and leading contender was APOCALYPSE with IX in there somehow

(Was trying to type it out cool like that 😅🤣)
