I heard that someone who has played RE9 early was invoking Devil May Cry when it comes to Leon's gameplay. It kind of looks that way, honestly. Seeing Leon tear through a zombie with a chainsaw, blow one's head off execution style, and then smash another one's head up against a wall with his boot all back-to-back is fucking awesome. I can't wait.
That sentiment is kind of funny, considering Devil May Cry was originally supposed to be an RE game.
@Jens_Rasmussen it's just kind of how the series has always been. This one in particular is interesting because you also play as Grace who is more like traditional survival horror gameplay.
@Jens_Rasmussen that being said I've always seen resident evil as a more action horror game when compared with a lot of other similar titles. There are games that are definitely more scary than others, but when you compare those to other dedicated HORROR games they don't really come close.
@Jens_Rasmussen resident evil 1-3 and 7 are closer to that kind of "survival horror" style. 4-6 and 8 are more action oriented. all of them are far more action-based than something like silent hill or fatal frame, and those are even more action-based when compared to more modern horror games that take combat out entirely, following in the footsteps of amnesia: the dark descent.
but yeah anyway, it's cool that we're getting a game that clearly has both styles of RE within it. it'll be interesting to see how well they manage to weave them together.
