Resident Evil 9 coming January 2025
- Thread starter TNA
- Start date
If done right I would not mind.
All depends if done right and the length of the game. If the game is going to be similar length as other resi games then no point in such things.
But yeah, I can't see it personally. It will likely be similar to RE8 I would imagine.
Personally I was very happy with what they had in RE2. I just wanted to see that slightly improved. I said it many times but would it have killed them to expand on what the original RE2 did and have some interaction between Claire and Leon playthrough? I remember being able to leave her the machine gun or using it. That kind of thing expanded I would have loved to see.

Hope they go back to 3rd person camera, or at least have the option.
To me it all depends. I would take a well done open world game over a a linear experience any day. That said I would rather RE go back to its roots unless they are going to knock it out of the park with the open world.
Actually I would have them continue a mainline where they do open world assuming they knock it out of the park, but also have a team that does old school stuff. That way we get a mainline game every say 5 years or so and a OG RE in between.
I'm much the same, I would take a well done linear world over a badly done open world ..and I would take a well done open world over a badly done linear world.
But if its an even ground, a well done open world and a well done linear world, I'd take the open world

I meant the open world/linear exploration hybrid, not the character's hybrid identities.
Problem is I'm now struggling to think of an actual good example of what I mean lol.

Or even The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
That's a different kind of hybrid though no? Something between a PS2 and PS3. Or more accurately between cow pie and horse manure.
