New Resident Evil to be tested in September

Capcom’s Division 1, responsible for developing the Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series, has sent out a recruitment email to Resident Evil Ambassadors based in Japan in search of “game testers.” Details are highly vague, but the tests will be conducted on either September 8 or September 9 , and that one must be a Resident Evil Ambassador and a person who has played the series (to what extent is not stated).

[criticalkare]

Hmm hopefully its 3 remake

[CorndogBurglar]

I doubt its Threemake this soon.

It's probably RE8.

Remember how long production took for RE2 Remake? I know they had to build that from scratch and Threemake is likely going to reuse a lot of those assets. But RE2 just came out not long ago. RE8 makes more sense I think.

[Ratchet75]

I just hope RE8 will be VR compatible. 🙏🙏

[naruga]

@rachet ...fk no fk NO .....i hope to not even fing think to make RE 8 1 st person and VR ....re 7 was abysmal ...and look the fate it had along its ridiculous DLC ...Capcom sht theirselves and quickly made RE 2 Remake to reduce the damage from Re7 ....fk no we DONT want this to happen again

[Shadow Man]

RE8 with VR option is a must. It worked well in Resident Evil 7 so there should be not reason ignore the PSVR base.

[mafiabrett]

I'm also one of those who wasn't a fan of VR, not a fan of gimmick gaming in general. I don't care if they decide to do another First Person horror, id prefer 3rd person but I just don't want RE8 be catered to a VR crowd.

The whole time playing RE7, it felt like they had VR set as their priority with controller as a backthought.

Now i do think Resident Evil games with VR has a place, but not as part of the main series (unless it's built in as a afterthought). Resident Evil VR games should be a side/spinoff thing. It will be much more accepted.

[KyRo]

Naurga once again, RE7 was a great game. Many people loved the change including me who can be somewhat critical of some of the directions Capcom has taken RE in. Capcom did not shit themselves over RE7. It was a success for them. The VR aspect is still praised to this day.

[DarXyde]

naruga,

So you're against the *option* of VR? I don't care for first person titles as a whole, but for horror, it has worked very well in the past: P.t., Condemned, Outlast, etc. I wholeheartedly wish Silent Hills became a full game: it had exactly what the series needed.

To the topic at hand, I'm actually hoping it's for an Outbreak remake/ reboot.

[JokerBoy422]

Leaked Capcom schedule was the Threemake first and then the release of Resi 8. Of course that could have been a false leak or a change of plans.

[Sirk7x]

3make could probably be done within 2 years, and they'll need testers throughout development to test different builds. It's probably a safer game for them to make than RE8.

[winter_hill]

@Naruga Breathe in quietly through the nose for 4 seconds. Hold the breath for a count of 7 seconds. Exhale forcefully through the mouth, pursing the lips and making a "whoosh" sound, for 8 seconds. Repeat the cycle up to 4 times.

[BigBosss]

They did say RE3 would be out before RE8

[Mint3Shot]

RE3make pls

[XiNatsuDragnel]

RE3 remake 😁🤘

[zielocz3k]

RE3 Remake or new (or remaster) Outbreak pls

[-Foxtrot]

Resident Evil 3 please

Anyone point continuing the over complicated, over the top current timeline. Just use the remakes as a new timeline and make RE4 as Code Veronica where Leon goes to save Claire not Chris, no secret service / presidents body guard crap. He just continued being a police officer.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

If you want to kill Resident Evil.. This is how you do it. Please stay away from giving any ideas to Capcom.. Please

[budumtss]

capcom killed the franchise with 4. after all its the game with the gameplay and story that lead to re6. also re4s story is laughable, pathetic and cringey at best. foxtrot and capcom know this, considering the changes since 7. i really hope they wipe the trash that is re4 out canon and replace it with something actually competent and creative.

[Concertoine]

@budumtss

None of the resident evil plots are good. Some deliver their story more artfully than others (REmake and 7) but none of the RE's old or new have great stories.

I think their remake series takes those old campy plots and tries to modernize them without twisting what made them appealing. I could see them retelling RE 4 with more ambience and a darker tone and it being much better from a narrative perspective.

Code Veronica would REALLY benefit from a remake, more so than 4 imo

[Razmiran]

I agree that resident evil 6 is bad
4, 5, Revelations 1 and 7 were all pretty good however, I do not understand why everyone tries to pretend they are not

[-Foxtrot]

How would that kill Resident Evil? You do realise that I'm not saying RE4 is terrible or a bad game right? It's more to do with the fact Code Veronica would benefit more from a remake then RE4, it's too dated still while Code Veronica is the last main RE to be outdated unless you want to count Outbreak. Changing the timeline here would allow them to shape future games where they can tell brand new stories.

You're telling me that idea is worse what they did in RE5, RE6, Operation Raccoon City or Umbrella Corps?

Resident Evil is back on top because they did what fans wanted, they went back, remade RE2, and actually made a horror game which felt and looked like Resident Evil

If they change the timeline they can stop the plagas crap, continue on Tyrants/Zombies/Umbrella, have Wesker around for longer, keep Alexia from Code Veronica as Leon/Claire's "Wesker" while he deals with the games featuring STARS.

I mean lets put it into perspective. Leon finds out that Claire, his best friend and possible romantic interest is being held by Umbrella on an Island. Despite knowing the horrors Umbrella does to people, he decides to just casually pass that information onto Chris, her brother instead. Really? You're telling me he just lets Chris go in by himself instead of rushing straight into action and saving his friend? Bullshit. It's a change which would make the most sense.

[Razmiran]

Sooo what you are saying is "They should use remakes to change the story to go along with my fanfiction ideas"

[-Foxtrot]

Fan fiction? Or maybe because the current timeline is a clusterf*** and they need to fix everything otherwise they’ll just keep making games with RE5, RE6, Umbrella Corps and all the other games that ruined the continuity

[AdmGenAladeen]

Exactly. RE4 onward was complete garbage. That's the reason RE was a joke for the last 15 years. Continue with the timeline directly after 3 and forget 4-6!

[Razmiran]

I love when people try to pretend great games were bad just because they didnt like them

[CorndogBurglar]

@ Razmiran

And I love when people pretend they don't like terrible games.

[Razmiran]

True, we often cannot see that we like terrible games
But you cant say 4 is COMPLETE GARBAGE, its a game that marked a before and after and set trends
Trends that were later overused, but well, not the fault of the game

[Sirk7x]

I think you forget how 4 was reviewed when it released. Consensus was revolutionary game play design, best graphics and one of the greatest games ever made.

[mafiabrett]

Im one of the few people who loved RE4, RE5, and RE6. The story at least.. I didn't mind the slightly more action paced, would of preferred more horror route.

I see a lot of people hate on the series because they have this mentality that the Resident Evil series is supposed to be about Zombies, Zombies, Zombies.. but it's more than that, it's about Biological Weapons. And RE4 to RE6, Revelations 1 and 2 all do a decent job exploring all the different Viruses/Parasites that were built as Biological Weapons. Yes some Viruses were more fun to explore T-Virus > C-Virus.. but that's why I love Resident Evil, seeing all the different kinds

[jeremyj2913]

I'm with you on getting to see all the different types of bioweapons. RE5 had some really fun co-op but the complete lack of horror and cutscenes that rivaled The Matrix left a bad taste in my mouth. I liked the gore in RE6 and Leon and Ada's campaigns.

[RyanShutup]

I'm good on the remakes since 2 just came out. I would however like another game like RE7, I absolutely LOVED that game.

[budumtss]

nah a game in the style of remake 2 is boundries superior.

[RyanShutup]

opinions and stuff...

[AK91]

RE3 Remake

[--bienio--]

After re2 remake I’m sold fit anything from capcom

[RosweeSon]

Re3 remake... not for me prob my least favourite of the originals prefer code Veronica myself or even better Resident evil 8 a whole brand new one 😍😍🙌
27995; 7 was great real return to winning ways 2 obviously was brilliant about time that quality game from the series had a second chance 3 will get it and I’m not saying never just cos I’m not a big fan of it (mainly the nemesis, that and my mate came round and beat it in an afternoon in front of me first time through, meh lol) just saying give it another year or so. Get a new one out first
My favs resi1 (all versions haha)
2, code Veronica, 4 and 7 no particular order
1 always holds a special place but 2 really was brilliant and 4 was game changing. 7 😅😅🙌
27995;😜 lets have some more rest greatness
Even revelations 1 was pretty cool on 3ds

[Profchaos]

Please bring back VR support

[AshleeEmerson]

I really hope they do, I love Resident Evil but after playing Resident Evil 7 in VR oh, there is absolutely no going back.

[ocelot07]

I wouldn't mind RE3 Remake. As well as a remaster of Outbreak File 1 and 2 or a new Outbreak File 3.

[lucian229]

I still want a side series that players like resident evil 5 & 6 that focuses on stuff like raid mode with couch co-op.

Resident evil 5 and 6 are some of the best splitscreen fun I've ever had with my wife.

[monkey602]

Resident evil is in a funny place right now. They overcompliacted the plot and ruined the franchise. 7 was a step in the right direction by toning down the global terror to a local horror again. Then 2 knocked it out of the park by rolling it all back again.
7 probably shouldn't have been a numerical sequel, maybe more emphasis should have been put on making it a soft reboot.

Maybe just retcon 6, possibly 5 and continue from there

[SprigganN4G]

Perhaps 2 and 3 Remake were developed together with one year of release gap.

Or maybe is 2 Remake for Switch.

[JBlaze226]

Wish they invited me to test :)

[ApocalypseShadow]

RE2 converted to VR now that they have been successful with their franchises and made some money lately and they need testers since RE7 was a success in VR. There's enough headsets to support the conversion.

Unless it's a 4 player RE Outbreak remake using the engine built from making RE2 remake. Lol! So much remake talk.

Who knows.That's my 2 guesses. We'll find out soon enough.

[cosmicterrapin]

Hopefully a Resident Evil 2 Remake remake.

[BiGT85]

Resident Evil 8 or Resident evil 3 Remake

[SIdepocket]

Resident Evil Outbreak 3.

[Sidewinder-]

This is a Test.

3 remake and RE8

[whitbyfox]

Everybody forgets that Resident Evil 3 was actually pretty lame. Just 1 very short single play-through compared to the usual 2. With no B scenario’s also, using some of the same locations as 2. The real Resi 3 was Code Veronica, but Sony wouldn’t allow Capcom to call it Resident Evil 3 on Dreamcast so Resi 3 was born as a rush job.

Google it.

[Juusterey]

Or
Maybe
Just maybe
They didn't think it was lame?
Maybe they didn't forget anything and just have a different opinion to you?
Re3 is one of my favorites

[whitbyfox]

Fair enough but Resi 2 has an 89 rating on metacritic. 3 has 79. Each to their own.

[Juusterey]

Oh right
I forgot how review scores are the main thing in the world

[whitbyfox]

I guess you never saw the new God of War director crying with joy when he saw the metacritic score for his game.

[Juusterey]

Sorry
I'll refrain from saying review scores never mattered to anyone
Oh wait

[Razmiran]

No wonder this industry doesnt churn out anything original
All people ask for here are remakes

[Juusterey]

Theres plenty of original stuff
Are you stupid?
Or just pay no attention?

[AshleeEmerson]

If it's not VR, I won't be playing it unfortunately.

[BlaqMagiq1]

PLEASE let it be RE3 Remake

[zodiac909]

This is all good and well.. BUT WILL THERE BE A PSX 2019!?!?!?!
