8 had the worst gameplay in the series and subsequently the worst mercenaries mode in the series. I can't imagine how terrible 9 gameplay will be.

Still better than 4

>>714152501 (OP)
1 is arguably worse

it's the best mercs because you can chokeslam mfers as lady d with iframes

>>714152501 (OP)
8 tried to be a mix of 7 and 4. 9 from the looks of it so far, is basically just focusing on being 7 again.

>>714152501 (OP)
Why do people care so much about fucking Mercenaries of all things. A side mode that you'll play once or twice and then never touch ever again.

That said, Mercs is piss easy and I got very high on some leaderboards because it's very easy to cheese

>>714152770
for replayability purposes
how often do you replay a 20 hour game? probably not that often
but I can replay a 2 hour game a lot before getting bored, same principle for short game modes

>>714152686
IS THAT A FUCKING BUCKET. SAVE ME.

>RE players claiming the gameplay of RE X is worse than the gameplay of RE Y
>the gameplay is exactly the same

>>714152924
After you finish every map and get your best score, I don't see any reason to play it again desu.

Not a bad game unlike REmilk4. REmilk Engine such a garbage when it comes to 3P-action games, good lord.

im not watching your 18hr essay, faggot

>>714152501 (OP)
RE9 is directed by the RE7 director, RE8 was somebody different. Requiem will be much closer to RE7 than RE8.

9 is made by the guy who made 7 so it's going to be similar to that

>>714152686
8 gameplay is identical to 7, but with more enemies and more guns. Did you ever play 4 or just pull out that bs because both have European rural setting.

>>714154250
>8 gameplay is identical to 7
It controls pretty similarly to 7 but the level of interactivity with the environment is just not there, at all. Which is kind of what made 7 so great IMO. There are fewer items and artefacts to inspect, the environments are overall less detailed than 7's, and even little touches like Ethan pushing a door open with his hand (which in effect created a beautiful modern rendition of the classic Resident Evil door open animation) are completely missing in 8.

>>714154250
8 does the hold out village fight at the start like 4 and tries to bring 4s weapon upgrade system into the game. The reason it fails is that 4 had a really balanced arsenal that made mixing and matching nearly every gun viable for different reasons as all the guns had strengths while almost every new gun in 8 is just a pure upgrade over the last. It's prettt clear that 8 takes more things from 4 as well if you really look at the gameplay and systems beyond the weapons compared to 7. Enemies dropping money and an economy tied to combat makes engagements an entirely different beast than 7 even without leon's badass crowd control punches and kicks.

>>714152501 (OP)
I liked 8, pretty fun.
It's far from the best RE, but it's also not the worst.

>>714153902
Post Re7 is so bad, it makes me miss 5 and 6.

>>714152501 (OP)
Why are they still making balck and white games, plus this looks like fucking metal gear solid cover

>>714152501 (OP)
i wonder if grace gonna block attacks with those woman spagetti arms if it was alyssa with the same body build as sonya blade model irl it would be better ( what a waste of character death when she is perfect for this game)

>>714152669
i hope your fandom and lady D get redacted of existence

>>714153003
there is a big diference with the clunky first person games and third person demakes with the ogs

>>714157579
i am sure there are a few people who care and agree buddy

>>714154823
The problem is 8 was used as a template for re4r, but it clearly doesn't work as well since it uses the slower control of 7 which was a game adapted to slow horror.
Dunno if they are gonna try to add Leon as the action parts for 9 again though, someone pointed out they are experimenting for a future CV remake where you play as Claire for the slow section and then Chris for the action section

>>714157783
literally tone deaf if this happens when claire did the famous chopter running of resident evil, also its ironic i played dead aim yesterday and was more controversial than code veronica when the bag guy its a tranny sephiroth/genova tyrant with volgin powers cosplayer

>>714157886
Yeah but still. That said I wonder if the opening section will be playable in some remake
I also suspect they want to experiment with online coop again with a zero remake before jumping onto 5R
>Dead aim
Underrated as fuck

>>714158016
it has a good gameplay system except ammo limited to chris slots and not being able to stock ammo or change it besides handgun for other ammo, wish it was longer too anyway its fine

>>714152501 (OP)
>8 had the worst gameplay in the series
Literally the same as 7
That's like saying 4 had better gameplay than 5 and tank controls are shit

>>714158112
4 and 5 has same gameplay but your ai can/cant shoot

>>714152686
re4 was campy and funny Village was just 7 but in quasi open world.

why does it feel like 8 has a lot of cut content?
I feel like the Village Girl who is helping Ethan should have more role instead of just dying outright.
Yeah I believe RE8 content got massively cut off for reason unknown. Any anons have the same feeling with me?

>>714159504
we already know since leaks the romanian girl was a playable character with backstory

>>714159586
why crapcom always cut the best content and replace it with mundane garbage?

>>714159504
having 4 villains as chapters didnt help specially when lady D got all the marketing, i liked the factory diesel strogg zombies and airman boss

>>714159640
they re clueless retards i wont forget re7 chris they just got more braincells and business knowledge than square enix

>>714159640
can't imagine playing as the girl would have been good content

>>714159715
what were they thinking with that Chris face model and VA? They couldnt hire Roger Craig Smith? Is it because he's union? Feel like Crapcom just got lucky and every bad decision soon afterward got absolved by the number of sales their new games perform.
>>714159746
I mean what about RE4 where you control Ashley?

>>714159504
There was a load of cut content for Village. Check out the announcement trailer which includes missing scenes that feature the villagers and something that was probably from the playable Elena section.
https://youtu.be/26tay8lMZW4

There are also rumors that Moreau's section was supposed to be much larger, with a trek through a boggy swamp where you are hunted by mermaids before you actually get to Moreau's reservoir.

>>714159802
>I mean what about RE4 where you control Ashley?
easily the worst chapter in the game. it's the game's "THAT" part.

>>714159820
yeah I wouldn'y hold my breath that RE9 won't suffer the same fate. Cheapskate Crapcom.

>>714159903
I see. I am hoping Dino Crisis gets the Remake treatment but seeing Crapcom's work. Cut content definely inbound

>>714159820
Yea, the windmill section obviously got shaft. Maybe there were more to the doll house as well. The castle and the factory were the most complete section in the game.

>>714159970
>I wouldn'y hold my breath that RE9 won't suffer the same fate.
Well the rumor is that RE8 was only ever intended to be a side game, Revelations 3, but took the RE8 spot because the "real" RE8 (RE9) was taking too long to develop

And we know RE9 has been through many different iterations due to the latest interview video showing the development footage of a multiplayer open world concept for RE9. So it has been in development for a very, very long time. I doubt it will be as unfinished as 8 was

>>714159820
>with a trek through a boggy swamp where you are hunted by mermaids before you actually get to Moreau's reservoir.
that's badass.All I remember from that section is gay puzzles and the mines and then the game picks up momentum again which was lost after the castle

>>714160050
any idea why they cutting so much content. I am quite dissapointed with the final product.

>>714160060
I thought the Development rumour issue what spread by the backpedalling "Dusk Goelem". Will RE9 feature dual Protagonist?

Will the RE9 answer the BSA question on why do they deploy a Bioweapon during the event of RE8 and where is Chris right now?

I feel like CP should develop Revelation titles more focusing on Jill, Claire and other Characters beside Chris & Leon

>>714159970
don't know why you mentioned Puzzle Crisis out of nowhere. hope that piece of crap never gets remade.

>>714160149
>I thought the Development rumour issue
Watch from the 7:05 mark
https://youtu.be/c8k8t_Xq5xs?t=428

RE9 has been in development for a very long time and probably took longer than Capcom was hoping for

Any idea if the event of RE9 run parallel with RE8?

>>714160149
Prob just standard dev cycle and deadline and COVID delay. COVID season was right in middle of RE8 dev cycle after all

>>714160352
oh I didn't see the extended trailer. Just watched during the inital Crapcom briefing.

>>714160393
I see. So 2026 would be RE9, Pragmata & Onimusha then.

>>714157512
I hope your parents disown you, every picture of you disappears, every single trace you ever left on the internet gets deleted and every single person you ever meta forgets you ever existed

any idea if any existing character would be returning?

>>714161114
the director literally namedropped leon and chuckled as he explained that they didn't include him this time because he wouldn't be scared. He may as well have looked directly at the camera and winked.

Remember that RE9 was revealed at summer games fest after 2 clips throughout the show trolling viewers expecting news.
1. Announcement of a Capcom IP sale on steam
2. "Happy birthday" video where they got a franchise producer on camera and said RE9 wasn't ready yet

and lo and behold RE9 was actually there at the end of the show. Their marketing strategy for this game is to present fans with the idea of something, make them beg for it, and then "deliver" once fans are sufficiently eager for it. Expect Leon to appear at the Gamescom trailer next month or maybe even at the Game Awards in December.

I am worried the FPS gameplay will be shit, or that its going to be artifically spongey to recreate OG games like RE2 Remake third person.

With the amount of mental gymnastics going on by some anons to convince themselves leon is absolutely in the game (all praise to dusk golem) you'd fucking sweep the next olympic games.

>>714161114
jill will burst into the hospital and suplex the hag monster, then take grace to her hideout and teach her about the typewriters

>>714162709
It looks much scarier in 1st person

>>714163513
Until you have a gun, then its the same thing

>>714165141
Not really. Taller enemies will still appear more intimidating when approaching you in first person. You might even be able to sprint towards the camera in third person to make escaping easier, whereas obviously in first person this might not be possible due to the difference in control schemes.

re8 had kino locations and less hallway simulator gameplay, 7 was boring hallway sim throughout with overusing the falling bucket method of scaring the player, ethan was annoying bitch in 7.
re8 dlc was dogshit
i hope re9 delivers though it might be lukewarm since capcom seems like its suffering from idea drought

>>714165141
>third person, jumpscares and enemies literally body blocked by player character, player becomes a person standing between you watching events unfold and the horror
>first person, you’re isolated with the horror

The fact that I and the other anon even have to take the time to explain this is insane.

>>714162709
As long as they don't make the FPS gameplay less reliant on cutscenes for any action the player does, I'm fine with it.

this game rocks, dlc was amazing too
great value game
