Thanks for giving so many details Dusk, I really appreciate it. RE is very special to me and still my favorite gaming IP.

2 questions. I don't know if you can reveal too much but is re8 more action oriented like RE3 remake or does it have a stronger emphasis on survival horror like RE7/RE2 Remake?

Do you think Capcom will ever make an RE game where Ada Wong is the main protagonist? I feel she deserves it, she's a very interesting character.

Thanks again.

For enemy talk, I'm not saying anything new here as all of this was in the Ambassador demo, but even just in that there were:
-Zombies, they're a new type of zombie though.
-Beastmen, the werewolf things people mention.
-Witch, a stalker who's really tall with an obscured face, laughs a lot and does things with insects.
-Juggernaut, its this burly chained up dude with a staff.

And I can tell you there's more than thesr four enemies in the game.

I mean, the model they chose (Geordie Dandy) for RE Engine Chris was fine, I think. For some reason they just tweaked it so much for RE7 it didn't fit people's perception of Chris from previous games. I feel Capcom did a much better job with adapting the models they chose for RE2 and 3 Remakes.

So I don't mind if they keep Geordie's face for Chris. They just need to tweak it a bit more in a more familiar direction.

As a reminder, here is Geordie being used for another game- and, IMO, closer to the pre-established 'look' of Redfield

I feel like if this is how Chris showed up at the end of RE7 there wouldn't be nearly the same level of controversy.

Alright, now I'm getting caught in the hype--looking forward to see what Capcom cooked up in this one.

Man, I really wish there Ambassador invites weren't always on a Tuesday/Wednesday deal. I get the email invites, but can never really go. That is if this demo was one of the playable events they were holding.

I hope that it's scary in a way similar to RE7.

That game's pretty much the height of Resident Evil's fear factor, to me

I hope we get proper zombies in this one. I liked 7 but the mold or whatever they're called are nothing compared to the classic RE zombie.

Also, we'll see. Not everything seen behind closed doors ends up being factual. (I'm looking at you REmake 2 Isomentric mode. I'm still salty about that shit.)

Sounds like a lot of fun. I love Capcom's monster design and can't wait to see 'em.

Can you tell something about the gameplay? Is it going to be basically RE7 or the gameplay will have some exciting changes too?

Edit. First person RE4-like suplex please? haha

That just looks like an anime character vs an actual human to me. I think roid rage Chris would look ridiculous in the new engine, if they are gonna keep his arms that big maybe they could cover him in acne to keep it somewhat vaguely realistic.

Yeah because you can't have stylistic characters in the RE engine.

Also how the fuck is that "anime" and why is that a bad thing exactly? Fuck realism. Realism is what nearly cost us the giant gator.

RE7 basis but built upon. IE, it plays pretty similarly to RE7, though the different characters play a bit differently and there's a few new mechanics. Most of the difference comes in how the game is designed though.

You wouldn't happen to know if the gunplay is any better, would you? Like, better hit reactions or anything from the enemies?

Mate that's devil may cry, been a while since anyone considered that to be resident evil. About 20 years by my count.

and even though that bloke is a demon Hunter that has a detachable metal arm and can turn into a devil, he still looks more like a human than roid rage Chris.

Actually I do have something to say to this, and the answer is yes they will. By quite a bit actually. I don't want to word it like this as people can easily take this the wrong way, Rev 3 was in development before RE4 Remake even existed, but they have used RE8 to experiment with a few small ideas for RE4 Remake, and one area is hit reaction. Though what appears here won't specifically be the same as hit reaction in RE4 Remake as ultimately they go with what works for gameplay style, but I do know making the enemies have visible feedback from being shot was a focus for part of development.

I like that they're apparently making him closer to the Chris I like. I was quite pleased with how Jill, Leon, Dante, Nero and such looked in the RE engine so I know they could do it.

I'm more referring to the story hints Dusk Golem posted earlier in the thread. Combine that with this being another first person game killed a lot of my interest.

This is true to an extent. Take Michelangelo's David, for instance. While very realistic, it has choice exaggerated proportions meant to accentuate and capture certain idealized aspects of the human figure. You'll find this common throughout art history.

Everything I'm hearing about this game has me really excited. I've been tired of action hero brodude Chris since day zero, so Capcom giving us something different with his character is a welcome change.

I've always wanted RE to fully commit to its horror and double down on its darker and gorier aspects instead of always starting out as horror and escalating to a horror-themed action game. It seems like they're taking the most well-received aspects of RE7 (the survival horror) and turning it up to 11.

Also, I just really, really want to see my girl Jill finally return. Please Capcom!

I've been following the rumours since they first surfaced and I still get all giddy just thinking about it. This is far more to me than a Kojima Silent Hills could ever be. Hella excited

One of my biggest issues with RE7 (as much as I love it) was the lack of enemy variety once the molded appeared, so this is so good to see!

How does the game handle multiple characters? Different campaigns based on the character like RE2 and 6 or are they gonna swap playable characters as you progress through the same campaign?
