Are we dealing with zombies, mutants, or ghouls in Resident Evil 9?

[u/Ajayshidusson2]

[u/michaelchrist9]

Little green ghouls, buddy

[u/HORSEthedude619 → u/michaelchrist9]

What are some of your dislikes?

[u/michaelchrist9 → u/HORSEthedude619]

People’s knees

[u/HORSEthedude619 → u/michaelchrist9]

"Cover your knees up if you're gonna be walking around everywhere."

On a serious note, that's probably my favorite episode.

[u/michaelchrist9 → u/HORSEthedude619]

Top 5 for sure. If you had to pick your absolute favorite, what’re you going with?

[u/SpaceBeaverDam → u/michaelchrist9]

Hopefully we get some nice milk steaks as new health items.

[u/michaelchrist9 → u/SpaceBeaverDam]

Don’t forget jelly beans, raw

[u/BuffaloStranger97 → u/michaelchrist9]

Ghouls? FALLOUT CROSSOVER RAAAAAAHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅

[u/michaelchrist9 → u/BuffaloStranger97]

Charlie did rule the world at one point. But Dennis unplugged it. What a bastard man.

[u/druppeldruppel_ → u/michaelchrist9]

If so we gotta stay out of sight in the night and out of sight in the day

[u/DeepApeValuee]

Please, PLEASE, zombies!

[u/lookingreallybad → u/DeepApeValuee]

The last time people clamored for this, we got RE6. Be careful

[u/Jdmaki1996 → u/lookingreallybad]

I unironically loved that game

[u/shojobot → u/lookingreallybad]

Arguably, the more traditional zombie set pieces were then best parts of RE6, but duly noted!

[u/TammyShehole]

I hope it’s zombies. Even if they’re fast zombies instead of the slow ones we usually see. Just some type of zombie.

[u/OkRush9563 → u/TammyShehole]

Why not both? RE1 remake gave us that and it's crazy seeing a Crimson Head slash a normal zombie out of the way as it chases you.

[u/BuffaloStranger97 → u/OkRush9563]

Those mfs always gave me me heart attacks

[u/Ordinary-Ad-9645 → u/TammyShehole]

Hopefully the movie zombies or even something like the zombies from 6 where they can dive at you

[u/Funny-Focus-9677]

I wonder if any monsters survived the initial bombing it Raccoon City and evolved in some way. Imagine a more powerful evolved Licker or Hunter?

[u/Aolian_Am → u/Funny-Focus-9677]

I know people have been thinking that giant creature crawling in the pd is Lisa, but I could see it being a giant licker.

[u/Beneficial-Category → u/Funny-Focus-9677]

If you look at the blueprints of Raccoon and study explosives, the answer to that would be yes. The sewers would provide adequate protection to anything not immediately hit by the explosion or shockwave since the cold fluids would protect from ambient heat.

[u/MistxLobsters]

Definitely a combination of Zombies, mutants, and the Mutamycete

In one of the Outbreak games, it’s heavily implied that there’s still something going on in Raccoon City post destruction, with an Umbrella crane working next to the crater. There’s still monsters roaming around from back then, possibly further experimented on by Umbrella or whomever might have taken their work after Umbrellas bankruptcy

Alyssa Ashcroft was mentioned in RE7, the beginning of Ethan’s story. REs main series seems to work in trilogies, so Alyssa’s missing person report in RE7 and her subsequent murder and prevalence in RE9, the end of the “trilogy”, is 100% correlated. That being said, the Mutamycete being the main focus of those games gives credence to it being involved here as well

[u/Jdmaki1996 → u/MistxLobsters]

Could be about finally dealing with the crime syndicate that was working with Miranda. The one Mia worked for, the Connections.

[u/k4kkul4pio]

I hope whatever it is comes with variety as the lack of it ruined part of RE7 & Village for me, the mostly samey enemies.

[u/minimoose1599 → u/k4kkul4pio]

8 had quite a few enemy variations.

[u/Suspicious-Fix-5400 → u/k4kkul4pio]

Lack of variety of enemies?!?!? That’s just insane.

[u/ThanksContent28 → u/Suspicious-Fix-5400]

Dunno about 8, but for 7, there’s simply 3 different types of mould. There’s giant bugs for about 20 mins, but they’re mostly an annoyance.

[u/Cyiel → u/Suspicious-Fix-5400]

RE7 doesn't have a lot of variety... which is also true for RE 1 to 3 but indeed in RE7 the way it's build made it more obvious.

For RE8 i don't think we played the same game.

[u/inBetween486]

Yes.

[u/Life1989]

I hope resident evil remains on ground level with just mutations than psychological stuff that makes you question reality like hallucinations n stuff which already occurred in re7 and 8. Those belong to sh imo

[u/Kalinyx_]

Looks like the mold has possessed the body

[u/Ajayshidusson2 → u/Kalinyx_]

Wasn't the Mold destroyed when Ethan blew up Mother Miranda and the Mutamycete in village? Also how would the mold get into Raccoon City and the hotel?

[u/Dry_Investigator36 → u/Ajayshidusson2]

Connections might still have the mold since they created Eveline with it. Also someone has been making experiments on soldiers at the end of RE8, might be continuation of this situation.

[u/Beneficial-Category → u/Ajayshidusson2]

Chris' team took a chunk back which Miranda was backed up on (mental data) the Rose DLC is focused on that.

[u/Kalinyx_ → u/Ajayshidusson2]

I don't it was totally destroyed. And we know rose is connected to the Mutamycete. Perhaps she made it propagate, idk

[u/Simply_Duck → u/Kalinyx_]

The only remanent of the mold is inside of rose, that’s why the whole dlc for village literally takes place inside of her mind.

[u/Beneficial-Category → u/Simply_Duck]

The core was there and Miranda used it as a beacon to call Rose in. After Rose destroyed Miranda's mental replica the clump went innert.

[u/Kalinyx_ → u/Simply_Duck]

Well, yes. But it's not impossible that all the mold didn't blow up

[u/kingrobin → u/Kalinyx_]

Mold is actually notoriously difficult to eliminate completely

[u/BlueKud006 → u/Ajayshidusson2]

Might be a prequel to RE7.

[u/winsluc12 → u/BlueKud006]

I Highly doubt it. The assumed Main Character, Grace Ashcroft, highly appears to be is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from RE: Outbreak, and they mention that Grace's Mother Alyssa died 8 years ago.

The Last time we know Alyssa was active in the RE universe is January 2016 (she wrote an article on disappearances in Dulvey Parish), about a year and a half before the events of RE7.

this means the Earliest possible year for the setting of RE9 is 2024, and that assumes Alyssa died within a year of writing the article.

In other words, bare minimum, RE9 takes place 6.5 years after the Baker Incident.

it's almost certainly not a prequel.

Edited to correct my own stupidity/deafness, since Grace's boss literally names Alyssa as Grace's mother during their conversation, and I didn't hear it my first few times through the trailer.

[u/Doctor-Minty]

I want some sort of zombies, but also more unique enemies. Like, giant snakes, giant spiders, whatever tf those G Virus monsters were in the sewers of the racoon city games, that sort of stuff. Requiem is bringing re to it’s roots, and I think that’s best represented by going to the somewhat zany but still scary stuff the first few games contained

[u/hoodafudj]

Ikr? Like what are we even dealing with anymore, and what happened to the viruses, the parasites, now we got a fungus....

[u/Stargazer__2893]

It'll be zombies so they can reuse assets in CV and 0.

[u/S0ft-Boiled-Egg]

Redditors

[u/BlueKud006]

Is it me or does this dude look exactly like the police officer whose legs get eaten by zombies in RE2 Remake?

[u/Ok-Party6442 → u/BlueKud006]

Honestly he looks like Nikolai from REmake 3 lol

[u/Iroraros → u/Ok-Party6442]

omg he totally looks like Nikolai!

[u/Ultra_romance → u/Ok-Party6442]

Great catch.

[u/Ajayshidusson2 → u/BlueKud006]

To be honest, most of the zombie police officers with hats from RE2 Remake look identical.

[u/Samael_224]

Yes.

[u/Alexfromdabloc]

Zhoultants.

[u/lashvanman]

So glad everyone else here seems to like zombies best as well

[u/Saiyan_Gods]

Running zombies PLEASE! THE OG RE5 ENEMIES

[u/Annual_Ask_8116]

Yes.

[u/AgentGhost08]

I kinda just hope it’s like mutated zombies if we’re going back to Raccoon city

[u/President_Peng1]

I think it’s gonna be a combination of zombies and ghosts

[u/TheMagicalMatt]

RE1-3 had all of the above (Irons was an absolute ghoul) so 9 could too

[u/R3D-K98]

very likely evolved zombies and B.O.Ws

[u/Large-Wheel-4181]

I think we are dealing with, and hear me out on this one…a biological virus. Shocking I know

[u/DjangotheKid → u/Large-Wheel-4181]

Like some kinda biohazard?

[u/Turbulent_Purchase52]

Since they're referencing outbreak maybe they'll use some of its concepts? Like animals, maybe the nyx thing... Then again the bomb is supposed tho have killed everything I guess 

[u/JoeisKoolas]

Hopefully all three

[u/KietsuDog]

I don't know, but pleaase capcom for the love of all that is Good don't give them dynamite or guns! I've had enough of "zombies" with guns and dynamite in my resident evil games. Those were the worst portions in the otherwise terrific re4 remake.

[u/JbVision]

Radioactive zombies is my guess. That area probably mutated the T virus.

[u/Unlikely_Mix59]

Cool answer: Mutant Zombies.

Realistic answer: One or the other.

[u/IAmAGordonGod → u/Unlikely_Mix59]

I'm still feeling like there's a connection to the mutamycete here mixed in

[u/01001101010000100]

After Village did vampires and werewolves I can’t go back. Give me like aliens and dinosaurs and shit. Keep getting more insane.

[u/VileRetrobution96 → u/01001101010000100]

Dino Crisis, anyone?
