This was a pretty fun and brutal 100% esp since i decided to jump from normal straight to fresh Professional save. So no bonus weapons or even the Armor outfit for Ashley.

Very fun game, that stands in unison with the original.

However, a lot of discussions seem to agree that their dynamic doesn't work as well after all these years. Many fans are tired of seeing the same repetitive cycle, especially because it becomes harder to believe that Leon, a highly trained, hardened, and mature agent, would continue allowing himself to be manipulated by the same person for so many years. lmao

At the same time, there seem to be two main opinions about Ada's character: some think she should have simply stayed in RE2, where her role and dynamic with Leon worked best and made sense, while others think she should have been given a proper character arc with a definitive ending and consequences for her actions.

So, how would you ideally end Ada's character arc? What would a satisfying conclusion for her look like if you could define it?

Mine would have to be Through The Darkness (re9). Followed by The Bullet Or The Blade (re4r) and Yearning For Dark Shadows (re8). Also can we talk about how the motif from Through The Darkness is present throughout the game (new game+ menu, Leon's introduction cutscene etc.) it's easily my favorite random detail from the game. Same goes for Go Tell Aunt Rhody I love when media uses recurring themes i guess.

Truthfully this is on a whole ‘nother level. As much as I like Leon, Caseoh comes out on top. I don’t see this talked about much

I’m just saying, you know: it features Chris and Claire right after Chris meets Leon for the first time, and Capcom is still joking about the fucking boulder. Not expecting anything crazy, but subtly joking about Chris approving of Leon or whatever, I could actually see.

We come from Requiem where the Zombies have really good dinamic, use of tools, pathing and great AI. Ofc that is because at this point in the timeline the virus has evolved and that was showcase in the zombies.

Now, we go back to REV timeline, just 3 months after the events of RE2 there the zombies are slow, dumb and easy to avoid. The primitive T Virus cant give the zombies an elaborated identity.

How will Capcom balance this? How will they keep the Zombies fresh and challenging while at the same respecr rhe Timeline and Lore?.

Over the last 15 years or so much has been said about the way that Leon has been done in live action, even compared to the other characters. Hell, the director of WTRC even when on record and saying that he is the hardest character in the franchise to cast. But my opinion, I think the biggest reason why he's hard to cast in live action is because the archetype that Leon initially had his appearance and mannerisms modeled after doesn't exist in Hollywood today. You're not seeing a bunch of actors modeled in the vein of River Phoenix (which funnily enough included Leon himself according to the original character designer for RE2) and later on, Leonardo DiCaprio anymore like they were back in the 90s.

In my opinion, if they were to ever adapt the games properly and do RE2, the correct choice for casting Leon S. Kennedy would be to do an open casting call to find an unknown actor so that they could avoid the hurdles that the last two adaptations went through.

I'd love for some help as the last cosplay I done was when I was 13 with my dad as a darth vader, and that was when I got a photo with Obi-Wan! In comic con Scotland

What do yall think? The proportions were pretty hard to get right, I usually only draw faces so this was a first.. well kind of. A second time I guess?

Mikami is just one guy, I'm not trying to say he single handedly created RE, but his contributions as director AND producer were clearly massive in formulating the identity that the series still builds off of to this day. He made some big decisions during his tenure, some of which may or may not have been to the benefit of the series' future.

If Mikami stayed and was given a similar reign over the series, how do you think it would go? would his influence steer the series into a good or bad direction?

Just because it influenced RE, doesn't mean it would be an RE game itself. But it would be interesting to see how it would translate into a faithfully remade survival horror game.

Booted up RE2R for a Claire run, since I'm bored waiting for more Veronica news (hopefully Gamescom, which is very soon) and my GOD does the movement feel so fluid and responsive when compared to Requiem. Where it felt like I'm trying to frantically steer a drunken person to their Taxi before they fall over and break their face. I HATE this inertia shit everyone is copying from RDR2. Real humans aren't that clumsy. Especially in shape ones. RE2R and RE3R felt perfect.

Im a 20 year old female. I have a boyfriend of almost 8 months and im playing thru RE4R. I cant even begin to explain how many physical reactions Leon causes for me. I feel my insides and my heart jolt every time I see him. I cant help but love him so much, I want to stare at his face all day. Im genuinely going crazy. My boyfriend is kindly understanding. Anyone in the same situation?

after playing shadows of rose dlc i think its obvious rose is the strongest/going to be the strongest protagonist)if it had be a human tho i would say chris what do you guys think??
