Resident Evil: Requiem

There's not even any evidence there is going to be an "action focused segment of the game" so this is complete hogwash.

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.

The Chris segment in Village was very tiny and hardly even worth a mention and was basically thrown in there to cover a few story elements so it could hardly be used as an example of Chris being considered any kind of "main" protagonist. He plays a supporting role.

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 playable for a similar amount of time to Chris in Village Dusk would be wrong and have discredited himself. I did use Chris in Code Veronica as an example that would be considered a main playable character.

There will be action, less than 4 or Village though, but based on the director comments that you’re going on a journey with Grace and seeing her grow and become more capable, I don’t see why she wouldn’t be the one who has the action gameplay as it would tie into that idea.

We also have no physical attacks apparently, so the action in the game is all weapon based if true. That makes perfect sense for Grace, not so much for Leon especially against zombies which are confirmed as the main enemies.

Of course there will be action! The reply was to the person saying that there will be another character to "cover the more action parts of the game" and the fact that there is zero evidence for this and I'm also pointing out (on my own initiative) that Chris' action segment in Village is a misnomer because its very brief and just there to fill in plot holes mostly. Its a very poor anecdote to reinforce the speculation that Leon will also play a similar role thereby attempting to validate and justify Dusk's half baked claims.

I know, my comment wasn’t a reply to anyone I was just adding to the conversation, but I don’t think Burton was suggesting there was any evidence of an action segment like Chris’s, or that such a segment will even exist, he was just musing on how Leon (or whoever) could fit into the game.

We know there will be action, some people have latched onto Geoff’s comment of "cinematic action" at the original announcement, thinking it means there will be a dual focus on horror and action, with a horror protagonist in Grace and a second, action protagonist.

I personally doubt this theory, but at this stage it’s very unclear. It could just as easily refer to isolated set pieces, like those seen towards the end of 2 and 7.

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 similar amount of action.

Ah ok, so you were not replying to what I said on this, and we definitely agree on this point.
