Yeah, 9 will probably be a first person game. But I don't think we won't get a third person RE game on PS5 (remake, spin-off or something new?).
Either way, the future of RE seems bright 🙂

A game starring all protags from the remakes, or maybe Carlos, Jill and Claire as Leon is getting an entire game for himself already.
Finally, more Rebecca. This will use RE engine right? The switch to her being Asian is something I don't mind because I always thought she was of asian descent anyway, considering her original model
I always thought that the idea was:
Mainline titles: First person and inspired by one of the classics(1 till 4) with a more modern cloth.
Spin offs and Remakes: Third person with different ideas that did not fit the mainline games somehow and well, the remakes are remakes.

Monster Hunter Rise runs on the RE Engine
Monster Hunter Rise and Ghosts 'n Goblins are hurt by your words
While I'm going to play it, it's first person, 4 is a remake, and I want a new, next gen 3rd person RE game. That's just it. It's fine - I'll still play this and probably enjoy it.
It would be fanboyish if I wanted it out of some brand loyalty or something. But the hardware difference between the systems is so huge, you can't blame me for wanting a different kind of product.
That's just my taste. I have a Switch. I'm a fan of Switch. But not for RE games. I'm sorry - Switch hardware is just not made for the RE game I have in mind - immersive, realistic horror game on a big screen, in a dark room.
But ok, let's see how it goes. Especially since it's supposedly AAA production.
capcom is releasing two RE engine games on switch in the next few months.
Normal RE Engine can't, IE they can't port RE7/RE2/RE3 to Switch (they tried to port RE7 for a while, no real success). But they did make a version of the engine to run specifically with Switch that can port to other platforms, but the games have to be developed with Switch in mind. Monster Hunter Rise & the Ghost'n'Goblins game are both running on that version of RE Engine, so will Resident Evil Outrage.
My bad. I thought I'd read that Capcom couldn't port the newer games because the engine couldn't run capably.
Two Switch games using RE Engine are coming out in the next 2 months.
yeah it's going to be hard for me to choose between playing it on Switch right away, or waiting for some sexy 4k experience.
I can wait for digital foundry, but I think I need it atleast a locked 30 on Switch to jump in. (MH Rise does look really, really good so I'm hopeful)
beyond those three, do you think capcom has anything else in development for switch in the RE engine?
Dusk already explained it right above but it's pretty much how Capcom did it for their previous engine where they had the regular MT Frameworks engine for 360/PS3/PC and then the mobile version for the handheld/portable games.
Thanks for clearing that up. Think I'll check it out as I haven't purchased MH.
If REV3 or Outrage has 3 characters Imhope at least one i
Yep exactly what I want. Some less used returning characters. I will talk about Sheva especially being under appreciated and stuck in a game where Jill stole most of the spotlight because of the way the narrative was structured. I think she is a character that had some really interesting character traits and could be explored further. I also wouldn't mind two returning characters and a new one, alternatively. I absolutely do not want Leon or Chris again - between the films and games they have had more than enough appearances.
This is a shock but I've never played any RE games. I only have a switch. What one should I play first?
So what is this, like how MT Framework had Lite and Mobile versions for systems that's couldn't handle the normal one? Or is it different because in this case games built on the normal RE Engine can't run on the Switch version at all?
I keep repeating myself, one is a 1st person game, the other a remake. I wouldn't mind this if they kept the series as 3rd person and then made a game for Switch.
It's ok. It's just my opinion. My taste. I'm aware. But it's not fanboyism. I'm a big fan of Switch.
Look, it's not about where it comes out first. It's about the fact that they can't make it look as good if it's coming out on Switch. That's not fanboyism, that's a fact. People are complaining Horizon II Forbidden West is coming out on PS4 ffs (not that I agree with them), but you're acting like I'm annoyed about some timed exclusivity. I'm not. I'm talking about the hardware. Or are we pretending Switch can trully magically run anything?
Anyway, it's fine. I hope it's a good game regardless and I'll be playing it for sure. I'm sure it's a good decision. I was just trying to explain my disappointment was not fanboyism - it has nothing to do with it and you can't compare it to people bickering about Sony and Microsoft. I don't know how to explain it better.
Both are kinda right, the latter happened with led to the former.
I find the latter hard to believe given how there's nothing custom on the Switch. my only guess is that they built the main version of RE Engine on top of some low level AMD exposed hardware that PCs can just brute force
Nothing really "new" for those who've been following along at home for the last few months, but...nice.
Now, just PLEASE bring back Raid Mode, please. Capcom doing the most with these MP mode additions in modern RE games EXCEPT the ones we really want the most.

Switch is well on its way to selling over 100 million units and it sells a ton of software to boot.
Why shouldn't the platform get it's own timed exclusive?
I know some don't want to admit that the Switch is market leader, but it is.

Is Outrage a separate project compared to Revelations 3? For a moment I thought these two were the same game.
Outrage & Rev 3 are one the same. I doubt it's going to be called Rev 3, though it did start development as that. The final name may not be named Outrage (or maybe it will), but for now we know it as Outrage.
Dying by Leon's hand is a compliment.
Never played Rev 1 or 2, they worth playing? Sounds like this one is promising.
Monkey's Paw twist: One of the other returning characters is a resurrected Steve Burnside
As long as it is third person over the shoulder, I will play it. Rebecca is a pretty boring character though so I'm not all too happy about her returning

Thanks for the info, that makes sense.
I just hope the new RE engine allows it to look good on Switch but be improved for next gen consoles beyond what they did with Revelations 2 on PS4.
For me it's just the hardware, otherwise I wouldn't mind at all.
Plenty of great takes in this thread already, I see. Not surprised people are already upset about the idea of another Capcom Switch timed-exclusive before the game has even been announced.
Can't wait to see how this one turns out though! Heard plenty of interesting things about it.

I've never thought much of Rebecca, but then again, I always pick Jill in the first Resident Evil and I've only played through Zero once at launch -- I'll definitely give it a playthrough before Outrage. Do like that they're embracing her Asian roots, though.
My own personal RE character tier lists aside, I am pumped for a made-for-Switch continuation of Revelations. I was pretty saddened by how Capcom just sat out the Switch, in terms of original games, for years, and I adored Revelations 2. If we can get a peek into what is going on with Alex, I am going to be so happy. But I'm there on day one in any case.
In terms of other returning characters that haven't be Revelated yet, I'd be stoked to see Leon, Sherry, Sheva, Billy or Jake.

Revelations 2 definitely felt like that the PS4/XB1 SKUs were added at the last minute (which explains why the PS4 version specifically was kind of a shitshow), but at the end of the day, that always did feel very much like a B-project compared to how the first game was treated. If what Dusk is saying about how they're treating Outrage as effectively a new AAA entry in the franchise pans out, I don't think we'll be running into a repeat of that and it should be a hell of a showcase for the Switch while being up to the standard of what folks expect from the series on more powerful hardware.
I'd think so. The main campaigns are fun, but each game has an extra mode called "RAID mode", which is where I think the games truly shine, and have loads more replay value.
Think mission-based action-RE gameplay, with RPG-lite character progression/customization.
