I thought you really enjoyed RE2R? Ever since I played RE2R I've been wanting a new game in the series that is similar to it.

It's interesting in the interview Kumazawa says this about the open world version of the game: "Looking at the game when it was multiplayer, the horror part was very mild. However, in that build, we made a game that was fun to play. But we looked deeply into this game and wondered if a fan of...

Thanks and that's right. That post was about what would constitute a main playable character and then I pondered if Leon might have more action focussed sections if he were in it. If there is more than one playable character, it could just be the way it usually is like Claire and Leon with a...

I prefaced that with the word "could" which means I'm just speculating, but you have to come in here and let me know that it's complete hogwash. In my previous comment I used Chris in Village as an example of a character that would not be considered a main playable character. If Leon is...

It's an interesting question. Dusk is still saying Leon is a "main" playable character he has just backed down on the idea that Leon is played more than Grace. I agree that if Leon is just playable for a short amount of time, like Chris in Village, Ada and Sherry in RE2/R, Carlos in RE3/R...

Agreed, she seems to be a great character.

I'm definitely looking forward to finding out more so we can know for sure, it feels like we have been stuck in this stage of Capcom's promotional plan for long enough.

The quote you listed from the article begins by saying "We're not going through all the gameplay details or how it works yet", so they are prefacing what they say next with we are not telling you everything. I'm sure it is Grace's story but that doesn't mean Grace is the only main character...

It could be that Leon helps her investigate the mystery, so it's about what she is doing. If he is playable I hope it's more than the cameo Chris got in Village. You can see at the end of the Demo when Grace is about to escape she get's grabbed and dragged back into the corridor, that could be...

I think that Geoff Keighley has the Leon reveal for the Game Awards. Like a 2 part promotional deal, reveal Grace and some horror oriented gameplay at Summer Game Fest then at Game Awards reveal Leon and some action oriented gameplay. As for the video I think it's just going to be a collage of...

Ever since they killed off Wesker (and Spencer) in RE5, the stories have been all over the place

I think Nakanishi wanted to move away from the action era and bring back some of the more survival horror elements, which he did in RE7. Of course it is more nuanced than the survival horror era vs. the action era. I think he just acknowledges that RE became a very different kind of game during...

I think the continuation of the Village story may happen in RE10. Director Nakanishi went from developing RE7 to RE9 and was not involved in Village. So the team that developed Village is presumably working on RE10 now. It's a staggered development cycle where they work on multiple games at...

We're going back to Racoon City and it makes sense there will be returning characters from the Racoon City games of the past. I don't see the need to shut down any speculation about who the returning characters might be. We are actually getting what we want here, which is a new Resident Evil...

I can see what you are saying, that Village still had more survival horror elements than the action era of 4, 5 and 6. So it's somewhere between RE2 and RE4 in that regard. I think it's fairly clear though that Village was inspired by RE4 and that is why they tend to get lumped in together. That...
