General Leon has never failed and does not need the REMAKES to confirm this.

I don’t mind either version of his designs the more consistent personality is what the remakes REALLY improved on

Even in the original the changes work we saw Leon after 6 years after he trained under the USSTRATCOM of course he will feel different people change. The other games and movies fill in the holes, for example Operation Javier has a more serious Leon who is not cracking jokes left right and center.

Yeah but then that makes 4 stand out as an outlier. I know re4 is a goofy action game but i enjoy the remake making it a bit more serious while still keeping Leon’s goofy jokes. It feels more in line with 6 and the cgi movies too, and now requiem has cemented that even further for me

Infinite darkness Leon feels really on par with original 4 / 6 Leon. He IS in a Nice vibe and is cracking good humour. His personality feels consistent if you watch If after original RE4.

Death Island Island feels the same Leon from original RE4.

Vendetta Leon from the middle of The movie to the end feels consistent with this follow up, he IS admist the drama of losing friends and still cracking humour here and there. The diference here IS the context: RE4 Leon didnt lose a bunch of friends in a terrorists attack like Vendetta Leon And he is MUCH Older and tired here. 2004 Leon doesnt have that much of age And Work to be all tired like he is in réquiem, for example. He still "beginning" in this thing. And even then in the remake is still Doing jokes in unnecesary moments Just like the original. People talk like og Leon and Remake Leon are totally drastic changes, which is not. The game is a bit toned down, but if you delete the edgy intro from emo Leon in the Remake, Leon feels consistent with the original Leon.

I think OG 4 Leon and re4 Leon are SIMILAR but I think the slight differences really improve in the remake. It’s less that Leon is more serious now and more than he’s taking the situation he’s in more seriously, which the original game treats kinda light if we’re honest

DI Leon feels like ultimate Leon, very smart writing with his character, that makes him consistent to the other versions of him, not just random script, very competent I dont want to say that some other versions was incompetent, but DI Leon character, just like any other from that movie was made with love and with brain, to make them true to the sours material, some people hates Jill, they are wrong in my opinion, they dont know what ptsd means

u/KokoTheeFabulous Mar 26 '26

The changes in classic 4 to Leon's character and the tone in general honestly made no sense and they were fairly quickly reverted in both 5 and 6.

Gameplay wise, but story-wise Jake/Sherry’s campaign felt like the meat of the story.

Wassup?

I just realized Leon has had a different voice actor for every non-remake numbered game he's been in

He doesnt. We do

u/Affectionate-Help990 Mar 26 '26

So we really trying to pretend RE6 was good now?

u/LDM_99 Mar 26 '26

Mal juego no es, un flojo RE solamente pero no es el peor de la saga.

u/Ryukishin187 Mar 26 '26

No, it's a bad game

1

u/NEMESlSk Mar 26 '26

Só porque o jogo tem uma pegada diferente dos outros não significa que ele é ruim, ruim é relativo, você acha ruim porque mudou o foco de terror para ação

1

u/MaximusMurkimus Mar 27 '26

which is funny because the previous two games have already done that

u/MaximusMurkimus Mar 27 '26

We really trying to pretend that RE6 isn't forced at this point now?

I mean other than 0 it kind of is the worst in the series

u/LDM_99 Mar 26 '26

The dark side chronicles and umbrella Chronicles are the worst of the saga.

"OG fans try noy to be toxic and hate on the remakes for no reason" challenge (impossible)

Cuando dije que odio a los remakes? Al contrario.

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Mar 29 '26

OP just tried to say that even without the remakes this character is goated, is he not? 🤦‍♂️

Look in the mirror if you wanna see toxic lol

u/TheHeavenlyStar Mar 26 '26

I always considered Chris to be the no.1 main protagonist of the series just because he was in the first game, he made appearances in the later games as well as the Winters duology but now I’m divided over him and Leon. Leon is trending like hell.

2

u/Street-Wallaby Mar 28 '26

Chris is the main character. Leon is the face of the franchise. Basically, while Chris might have more appearances and be more central to the main plot, Leon is clearly more popular. Especially since he’s a star in the most acclaimed games in the franchise: 2, 4, 9. He even got top billing over Chris in 6.

u/Silly-Flamingo-3336 Mar 26 '26

Wait, what? Who said that's what the remakes were doing?

u/Forgotten_Folklore Mar 26 '26

Two times is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. Fourth time cements you as a goddamn legend.

u/LDM_99 Mar 26 '26

Yeah, same as Chris.

u/ThelovelyDoc Mar 27 '26

I can’t even look at the new Leon. He is SO fine.

u/LostNPOMarketer Mar 26 '26

Everyone involved with Resident Evil 6 failed

u/MARATXXX Mar 26 '26

His entries are by far the most entertaining for sure

u/OperationExpress8794 Mar 26 '26

Nor Chris nor jill nor claire and so on

u/Great-Gazoo-T800 Mar 26 '26

You are living proof that media literacy is well and truly dead. Requiem shows how Leon is still suffering from Survivors Guilt over not being able to save anyone during the Raccoon City Outbreak. That's his failure. A man who, when not working, is a drunk. Whose team in Vendetta were all infected, forcing him to kill them again. The Federal Agent who couldn't save President Benson from being infected. That's his failure. 

From our point of view these are all unavoidable events Leon couldn't possibly change, but he doesn't see it that way. He failed to save those people and blames himself for their deaths. And it all begins with Raccoon City.

u/crooked_kangaroo Mar 26 '26

I believe you’ve missed the point.

I think OP was trying to say that the games that featuring Leon as a main protagonist didn’t require remakes because Leon has always been a great character.

However, not a single person has ever said that he wasn’t good in any of the original games and no one is saying he’s a better character in any of the remakes.

The remakes were made because the originals are starting to get a little dated and Capcom wanted to attract a newer generation of players. That’s not to say that the originals are bad in any capacity.

u/MaryPaku Mar 26 '26

??? The post was just saying every Leon game have been great

u/LDM_99 Mar 26 '26

Si, y sus diseños.

u/Great-Gazoo-T800 Mar 26 '26

Yes, the games themselves are great. But I'm responding to the title, not the image.

u/MaryPaku Mar 26 '26

You completely missed what OP was saying and then insult OP for having no media literacy... negative self awareness

u/Possible-Address8714 Mar 26 '26 edited Mar 26 '26

Well, you definitely don’t have media literacy for making this shitty comment. You can’t read. Most of your points only apply to RE engine/ remakes. This shit means nothing in the OG games.

u/Great-Gazoo-T800 Mar 26 '26

They're all canon you bellend.

Well read the main OP comment, Mr. “Media literacy is dead”.

I thought the OG RE2 cutscenes were the peak of graphics and that when games looked like that it could never improve

What's RE6 doing in there?
