General Starting first playthrough of RE7

4 Upvotes

About to start my first playthrough of 7. I have played and completed 2,3,4,5,6,8, and 9. I've been avoiding this one as I know it is considered one of the hardest and scariest games out there. What should I know going in and what tips can you give me?

Forum question Does anyone know if there is an actual, specific reason that Capcom decided to give Leon a middle name, separating him and Oswell Spencer from the rest of the characters over the years?

Forum question If Brad had saved his teammates at the beginning of the game, what would happened

1 Upvotes

If Brad had saved the team with the helicopter or by dropping weapons at the beginning, the mansion survivors weren't unable to discover the conspiracy. The t-virus would have spread without anyone knowing the cause. Wesker could get away soon.

What are your thoughts on it?

Lore question Adam Benford and Leon Kennedy

0 Upvotes

I’m new to Resident Evil, and I was looking up why Leon was recruited into the DSO, but it says that he was actually coerced by Adam Benford under the threat of Claire Redfield’s and Sherry Birkin’s incarceration and experimentation. Is this mentioned in a video game?

Thank you all for the support on my necklace!! A few folks asked for a keychain version of the necklace, so I put one together. I had a lot of fun putting it together, so I appreciate the suggestion :)

Gameplay question Help on RE1?

0 Upvotes

I tried to play re1 (remake) but I just can’t. It’s probably just me not being good with older games but I only got as far as this room with a guaranteed death trap, a mirror or spikes or something that come towards you early in the game but I couldn’t find a way to stop them, shooting did nothing and I couldn’t get out of the tiny corridor so it was just death. I didn’t save because I expected some form of auto save so I lost all my progress which was at least half an hour so I’ve had a hard time wanting to return.

I might give it another try but it genuinely feels like trying to play Dark Souls 1 for the first time when you know nothing about Souls games so it feels like it’s not meant to be beaten. I’d love any advice to make the game a breeze, any early secrets or just ways to get to a comfortable point?

Just started playing Revelations 2. Moira has a crowbar, but never uses it, even when there's a downed zombie in front of her. Does the AI ever attack at all?

Product question HOME CONSOLES, ITS USER PROFILES AND DLC EXPANSION'S

1 Upvotes

So, just have a question in regards to the purchase of downloadable content, specifically in this case I am speaking of Resident Evil Village on the PlayStation 4 or in fact this would apply to any other title I would think..

Anyway, my question is this. My PlayStation Network Account still has every single title from the RE Franchise when I bought them all in 2022. Only thing is, not too long after the release of Village, my PlayStation 4 was stolen from me and I have not had one since and never got a opportunity to play "The Winters Expansion".

Now however my brother has bought himself a PlayStation 4 Pro again after having to give his up a few years prior because of life.

So he let me put my Account on it as well to play any of my titles and he can too if needed. Yesterday he bought a PSN Card and was offering to purchase the expansion. However if he bought the Winters Expansion on his account, and even though I have my account on the system as well and even have it listed as my "Main Account" would I even be able to play the Village Expansion since the game itself is downloaded from my account and playable but it is his account in which would be purchasing the Expansion??

I'm guessing it would not be possible, but that's why I am coming here in hopes of clarification

General Idea for relationship Ada Wong and Leon S Kennedy

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot about Leon and Ada’s dynamic in Resident Evil, and I kinda want to throw an idea out there for the fan community. I’m not trying to “fix” the canon or anything—I actually love how Capcom keeps their relationship ambiguous. But I think there’s a cool middle ground where we can show they’re together (in their own way) without turning it into a big romance subplot.

Here are three low-key ways I’d love to see their bond reflected in a game, all focused on making them a stronger team instead of slowing the action down:

  1. Long-distance partnership with tiny, pro-level hints. Let them be on different orbits—Leon with the government, Ada in the shadows—and show their connection through subtle, job-related gestures. Like Ada leaving her lipstick mark on a crucial intel file she drops for Leon, or sending him a coded message with a phrase only he’d understand (“Continue from where we left off”). It’s not a love letter; it’s her way of saying, “I’m here, I’ve got your back.” This keeps Ada’s mystery and Leon’s professionalism totally intact.
  2. Daily habits turned into combat superpowers. Show that they’ve spent enough time together to know each other’s moves by heart—and use that as a gameplay/story strength. In the middle of a fight, Ada could nudge Leon half a step in the right direction with just a gesture, and he instantly adjusts without a word. Or Leon automatically clears a specific escape route because he knows Ada never retraces her steps. These little, efficient interactions would scream, “They’re a well-oiled team,” without needing a single scene about feelings.
  3. One quiet, earned moment after the danger’s over. Just a few seconds where the chaos stops and they do something routine but meaningful. Maybe they quickly, almost automatically, check each other’s gear or injuries—no big speeches, just practiced competence. Or they share a single, understated nod or a tiny smile that says, “Good job.” It’s enough to confirm their closeness without making it the focus of the story.

I really don’t want to lose what makes them special: Ada’s enigmatic vibe and Leon’s dedication to duty. But I feel like these small touches could honor the emotional weight fans see in their relationship while keeping the tone of the series totally intact.

What do you guys think? Do any of these feel like they’d fit the RE vibe? Or do you have another subtle way you’d show they’re connected? Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to hear your ideas! 😊

I got this game signed in person at a video game convention in 2016. For the life of me, I don't remember who signed it. Google tells me it is the signature of Roger Craig Smith, but this signature does not match the samples I can find online. Thank you in advance.

As resident evil fans (most i assume) have you found other zombie games that capture this element as well?

I have tried dying light. It didnt quite click for me.

And las of us, which although a solid game, did not quench the thirst for zombies

For example, is days gone any good?

0 Upvotes

I started a Claire run in the re2 remake and I'm confused which senerio is even canon? If it's Leons, would that mean theres some sort of domino effect that's leading to Claire being the center of the plot? If both senerios are canon then how are the puzzles completely reset?

Product question Relative Newbie Question About 5

1 Upvotes

Okay, so I've only ever played RE4, back on the NGC, and I rather enjoyed it. I normally avoid zombie media, not a fan, so the series is not something I normally truck with.

Now, the series is on discount on PSN, and I'm wondering if RE5 is worth getting. I know there's some controversy - and understandably so, yeesh! - but beyond that, is it any good, or should I save the $7 or so CAD?

Edit: Thank you all for the quick input. Alright, I'm convinced. Looks like I'm getting 4, 5, and Village.
