Is it weird that it's only called Resident Evil 9 in one shot of this trailer even though that isn't part of the official title? In fact, at least Village had the VIII baked into the title, how hard would it be to find a subtitle with "IX" in it? I'm pretty sure the official rule was "It's not a mainline game unless there is a number in the title", it's not like Code Veronica is officially considered RE4.

It IS, sort of. "RE9" at the start of the word "REQUIEM" with the "Q" sort of looking like a "9." You can see what they're doing when you stare at the title and see the letters glitching there.

Maybe they should consider a different font where lower case q and the number 9 are easier to confuse? My recommendations in that case are:

Brevis
Plush
Petrov Sans
Auge
Gwen
Ways
Alkes
Panton
Phenomena
Sensa
Uni Sans

... And now that I think about it, it's pretty weird to recommend fonts based on how easy it to misinterpret the characters...

Resident Evil is one of the few series where almost every mainline game is consistently good (with the exception of Resident Evil 6 which is the only "bad" main game in the series, but a remake would fix it), so this will be good.

Still hoping for the Code Veronica, 5 and 0 remakes being announced soon, crazy to think Capcom is working on 3 different Resident Evil remakes at the same time as RE9.

Wasn't Code Veronica originally going to be RE3 until they changed their minds at the last minute? Pretty sure I've read that.

Talk about an evergreen crop of remake potentials. By the time they finish getting to them all, it'll be time for new remasters.

Despite my screen name being ResidentEvil7, I won't be getting this game, because it's on the PS5. I ended buying consoles and modern games with the PS4. I prefer the classics, whether or not they're available for DLC on modern systems. I'm going to watch the game on YouTube walkthroughs instead.

Yes, Code Veronica was developed as the official RE3 but it took longer to finish than the Jill focused spin-off, so they decided to officially title the spin-off RE3 instead. Not sure why Code Veronica wasn't simply called RE4 unless they really hellbent on making the Leon in rural Spain game RE4 no matter what, it's not like shifting the numbers up mattered that much.

I largely shifted to PC when I could no longer justify buying a new console every time and the steep prices for every game, not after the used market that I benefited from was completely gutted. I'll likely buy a Switch 2 for the exclusives eventually but considering most Playstation/Xbox games just end up on PC these days and tend to get way steeper discounts on PC anyway, I don't see myself buying another non-Nintendo console brand new at least. Hell, even my Switch 1 is used, the thing launched 8 years ago and the successor has launched but the Switch 1 still costs as much as it did when it was brand new. What the hell happened? It used to be a common thing for old model electronics to get slashed in price permanently after a while, how the hell did they manage to keep the same price tag for so long?

I never got into Resident Evil until they released 4. For me, Resident Evil exists purely as 4 and 5. Which is crazy, I know but those were the only two that I ever thought were great and the only two I ever played through all the way.

Although Alyssa is dead in flashback, but I still surprised they use Outbreak character in sequel. I still hope that they will remake Outbreak series. By the way, I believe Leon was infected.

- No new supervirus, but there is another new anti-virus that would completely eliminate T-Virus.

- I don't think Spencer has completely regret. More like his pride wouldn't allow others to use his virus to achieve his goal, so he want to destroy them all. But at least he chose to create a new anti-virus instead of destroy the world, so he wasn't a complete psychopath.

I’m hearing this is great but I think I’ve plowed through every resident evil game they’ve released for like the last 10 years between the remakes and new entries I don’t know if there’s anything fresh for me there right now.

[Andrew NDB]

I thought the T-virus was long gone anyway and we were on the G-virus or something already? Fungus viruses?

[Prowler]

I've only played the REmake of RE1 so far. Very good game. I own RE2 and RE3 remakes on Steam, but haven't touched them yet.

This is only the 9th RE game, really? Because the series feels significantly bigger than that. There's the RE0 games too and also some RE games for handheld systems...

[TheLabRat]

By the way, why did Leon choose P320 as his first handgun in this game? Even Grace's P232 are better than this crap.
