Resident Evil: Requiem

[Burton]

Leon, Claire, Sherry, Ada, etc. weren't "involved" in the incident, they got caught up in it.

The people "involved" were who? Umbrella, The parents of Sherry Birkins, etc. What this means here is that there are going to be characters who were part of Umbrella or cooperating with Umbrella and helped start the incident in RC, in this game. It's very interesting how such people could be hiding out in the ruins of Raccoon City all this time.

We will wait and see how this plays out.

Why are you so convinced there won't be any returning characters that were playable in previous games, at least as part of the story. I'm genuinely curious, is it because you don't want them to return or because you think Capcom will inevitably let you down.

We know Alyssa Ashcroft is in it and she technically doesn't fit your definition of "involved"

WinkThe debate of whether Leon will be in the game or not is not divided into People Who Believe Dusk and People Who Do Not,

Even if Leon is in the game, it still doesn’t necessarily validate Dusk’s leaks (a Chris RE8-type role wouldn’t and that’s likely all it is if anything). I doubt he’s in as much of it as Dusk says he is, and it’s hardly something to sing his praises for, anyway because people would naturally expect OG Raccoon City survivors to show up in some way from the reveal trailer alone and Leon is the most obvious choice. Sure, Jill and Claire were involved in the RC outbreak event, but who’s the character fans most closely associate with it and the RPD? Leon.

Regardless, fans would be confused AF why they decided to return to Raccoon City for the franchise’s 30th anniversary and not have a single legacy character from that iconic chapter appear, hence you’re giving him credit for something literally anybody could’ve guessed and that’s before the Nick resume bombshell and all the other hints (and outright confirmation now).

Oh, and it’s virtually a lock there will be a second playable character. They outright said on the Steam page for the game that the Apocalypse costume will change Grace’s appearance only, why even say that if she’s the only playable character? Not to mention the fact that they announced 5 DLC costumes, but only revealed 1 so far is a clear hint that they’re “hiding” something.

The official definition of the word seems to agree with me here.

“Seems” being the operative word. Allow me -

Definition of INVOLVED

having a part in something : included in something; actively participating in something; having a romantic or sexual relationship… See the full definition

I call attention to 1.a., “having a part in something”. In this case, the characters of the series who were in Raccoon City had a part in the incident, specifically that of victims, and of uncovering the truth to present to authorities after the fact.

I also call attention to 3., “being affected”. In this case, everyone in the city was affected, including the surviving characters.

You are conflating being involved with the cause of the incident with being involved in the actual event of the incident itself. This is understandable, and I get that that’s what you meant with your comments, but the term is not limited to that, and you did not clarify in your original statement your meaning, opening it up for the more general meaning to be applied.

You almost sound like you are trolling man, the way you go out of your way to attempt to try to prove people wrong. You have done this in numerous threads. Trying to assert that Silent Hill 2 doesn't need a remake when In fact the remake is arguably better than the original comes to mind here.

I wouldn’t necessarily be talking here, man, in your case. Your own responses come across with a noted air of arrogance and likely unwarranted self-assurance. I don’t go “out of [my] way” to “attempt” to prove people wrong - I simply prove them wrong, and do so when they are wrong. That’s what is supposed to happen when someone presents publicly incorrect, incomplete, or simply misrepresented information. In fairness, for this particular discussion, yours is in the incomplete category rather than flatly incorrect.

Unrelated: I still stand by my position regarding SH2R.

My point was that believing a character will be in the game doesn’t need to have any relation to Dusk’s assertions.
