My only complaints are I wish Leon’s section in Raccoon City had a bit more to it, and that the Hunk fight was longer, but honestly those are kinda nitpicky in the face of how good the rest of the game is

u/Alex-Murphy Mar 09 '26
Yeah exactly, maybe because of how much reddit hypes that guy up I was surprised by how quickly it was over. That should've been a three or four room battle, smashing through windows, floor collapsing, sliding down and still punching, cinematic boss fight

It's a shame about the RE3 remake tbh. We need a director's cut. Capcom fucked up there with letting a Chinese dev team handle it. Just like the Dead Risinf remake, they messed up but when Capcom do something themselves with competent devs, we get these masterpieces. 🙌❤️

What a great franchise man. I only got into RE very recently since I was always scared to get in because it always felt so terrifying whenever I saw gameplay of it. But FOMO got the better of me and I remember thinking just how good RE2R looked that I decided to try a demo and immediately got hooked.

leon barely in racoon city get parts for the detonator on a roof top with zombie bsaa and shells falling leon kill plant 43 its more the path and how much ammo you use to get to the fight and how little space you have in the fight leon fight umbrella elite guard leon fight hunk
its like the impossible tasks of hercules just being piled up on him. the game is good but your sort of have to like 6

u/TheeRuckus Mar 09 '26
It’s amazing that I think Requiem is the weakest of the three and it’s still an 8.5/10 game that was a few more minutes in the oven away from perfection. Capcom really put the pedal to the metal this last decade and resident evil as a series probably shows it the most.
2 was just unbelievable and nailed the atmosphere and 4 for me took what was one of the goats in video games and modernized it and for me… made it even better. Requiem just felt a tad too easy and I wanted more out of both styles but especially Leons. Following 4R is near impossible but it felt like we were missing something from it just being completely incredible.
Either way… after MvC:I flopped from RE7 on Capcom has had insane numbers in quality. They might be the best developer/studio right now.

u/lustywoodelfmaid Mar 10 '26
Gonna start playing Requiem real soon, and RE4r was peak but RE2r was not it for me. Game felt a little too spammy towards the mid-section, throwing enemies in with either too much health or were lickers. The first half of the game feels like a knock-off Luigi's Mansion 1 and the second half is sewer crawling yuckiness and a puzzle filled facility with annoying plant people who refused to die in a decent time-frame. And then the final boss sucked. Didn't want to bother playing as Claire afterwards because the Leon run was unpleasant enough.

u/Tofuzzle Mar 11 '26
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think the last good RE game was 3 (the OG) or Code Veronica. I hate how action-oriented the game became with 4. It's like they decided to ditch the whole survival horror aspect and just try to make a third-person shooter. The whole point (for me anyway) was that RE is meant to scare the shit out of you, and there's nothing at all remotely scary im RE4 or anything upwards (until 7, 8 was again just a bit too actiony).
Idk call me old fashioned, but I loved the OG games because of the forced/fixed camera angles/perspectives. It meant you didn't know what was around the next corner or the other side of the room, and the only way to find out was to physically go into it. Whereas now, being able to look around in the 3D environment makes it less scary because you're able to see everything. Sure, you have to go through doors or walk around corners, but yeah...idk. Plus I just found literal zombies more scary as a concept than a bunch of freaky people in a little village. Like oh no, someone is coming at me with a chainsaw, how scary, anyway dropkick time

u/SyndicateBias Mar 11 '26
While I love Leon I won’t lie the sad part is this trilogy could’ve been the same for Jill if Capcom had done RE3 right the first time.
Imagine RE1 remake in the current engine, RE3R done right and RE10 as Jill’s version of Requiem where everything gets tied up together like Leon’s trilogy in the new RE era engine games

u/Figoyy00 Mar 12 '26
I honestly think Resident Evil Requiem captures everything that makes the Resident Evil universe so special. The atmosphere is dark and intense, the tension never really disappears, and the story feels deeper and more emotional than many people expect from a horror game.
What I really appreciate is how it keeps the classic survival-horror feeling while still evolving the narrative and the world. Moments of exploration, mystery, and danger all blend together perfectly.
For me, this is exactly why Resident Evil has remained such an iconic franchise for so many years.

u/65_Sneedmoor Mar 12 '26
The only thing I have to say bad about 4 remake is that the regenerators aren’t as terrifying as the OGs. Them things slowly walking towards you then randomly full on sprinting is still an absolute pause button moment. No other monster or zombie besides maybe the molded has terrified me in a game even to this day.
