Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem looks to be shaping up to be something special. We’ve seen plenty of footage of the game now and the rumour which has been doing to rounds since its reveal is that it will feature Leon Kennedy. IGN spoke with Resident Evil: Reiquem director, Koshi Nakanishi and producer Masato Kumazama, who told them that while they don’t want to wipe the slate clean with fresh new characters in every new entry and they also don’t want to go back to the existing pool of characters in the long-running franchise when they create new games in the series. The duo said that this was “part of the motivation” to introduce Grace in Resident Evil Requiem.
“Although we don’t have firm plans for the future storylines of later titles in the series, I still think passing the torch is probably going a bit too far, because we’re not just going to wipe the slate clean completely in terms of the series lore and history. But at the same time I don’t want to always have to just go back to the well of existing characters to create new games, which was part of the motivation to introduce Grace.”
Fine with me (but I do miss Leon)
Dude, we got RE4 Remake not too long ago. Leon doesn’t need to come back for a while.
He was also in RE2R, even thinking or wanting Leon to be in RE9 is a fever dream ppl need to wake up from!
Well, considering chris was both a cameo and playable on RE7 and 8 respectively, it stands to reason that people would think Leon would see his own fair time in a feature in 9 – especially since Leon has arguably been the fan favourite of all the characters in the franchise.
He’ll be back for this one, just like Chris was in RE7/8
Now they’re charging people to watch Capcom Cup as PPV. Like these FGC tards are beyond stupid they’re losing money they got investment from the Saudi’s to raise the prize pool something these tards fail to realize like these 40 year olds assume money comes out of nowhere. They’re even saying UFC doesn’t do PPV or will stop but that’s only because they got money for a streaming deal next year. Someone educate these Capcom tards the stupid FGC. Capcom going to be Saudi owned sooner than later.
No problem, I don’t want to pay for the same games over and over again, as well. Especially for companies, who can’t produce new games and only old spam reheats.
Honestly I don’t care what they do as they make a cohesive story thats well written and executed. I don’t want constant cliffhangers and confusion in the time line
The last thing the series needs is another Leon entry when there are other characters who deserve the spotlight.
Why are people who start series in the middle always so annoying?
Doesnt want to revisit characters but remakes every resident evil game.
