Rumor: Resident Evil Remake Powered by RE Engine Is in the Works; Leon Kennedy Will Be in Resident Evil 9

- Rumor
If RE9 is a sequel to RE8, wouldn't Leon be pretty fucking old? Like, 50s/60s?
Also, remaking a remake again is some bullshit. It's amazing as is. Leave it alone.

In the RE9 thread they were discussing a Reddit post that said this same thing a few days ago (the RE1 remake and the Leon in RE9 part), so I'm not sure if this means anything or if it's 'convenient' timing.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of Capcom not wanting to continue the remake timeline further/beyond Remake 4.
I really need those RE5 and RE6 remakes.

Was RE4R the RE Engine?
I'd prefer a remake of 1 to be a 3rd person RE4R-type experience instead of an FPS with a shoehorned stalker character. I'm trying to get through 7 finally and I just hate run-and-hide-from-unkillable-enemy mechanics.

I don't really see a point in remaking RE1 into a third person shooter, honestly. I think RE1 is a special game BECAUSE of what it is, and just making RE2R again but in the Spencer Mansion instead of the police station feels like a huge waste of time, personally.
At least 9 is happening, that's something, but MAN I am getting kinda worn down by this endless carousel of recycling old ideas.
REmake (2002) still remains the definitive RE IMO, but I'd love to play the OG resident evil mansion in the current glorious engine. As long as the games both remain available, the more the merrier and it would make 1-4 all available in RE engine. Next up, Code Veronica please and thanks.
Before everyone jumps on this, keep in mine it's been 20+ years since the first remake.
I personally think this makes a lot of sense.

Maybe Capcom gives him a heel turn, and he's been taking Wesker like viral stims to keep himself young and in shape. Given how they went for something similar with Chris in RE8, I could see them trying it again with Leon. Also Leon isn't much older than Chris anyway, surely
Also, they've been building up to a new Leon game for years with RE2make and RE4make. Not only have they been setting it up, but he is easily the most popular protagonist in the franchise. This is a smart move for their big, expensive Resident Evil that spent so much time in development.
No thanks. The game has outdated gameplay and this is coming from someone that started the series with it.
Give me OTS RE1.
Third person shooter gameplay is not inherently superior to other forms of gameplay.
If the rumour is true and the game is set in 2025, Leon would be 48 years old
I expect them to go full John wick with his look
Oh you better be ready for Lisa to be stalking you throughout the Spencer Mansion.
Leon is about 6 years younger or so than Chris. The thing is, with Rose, the skip is what, 16 years or so after the events of RE8. Given that Chris was in his 50s (I believe) in that game before the jump forward.
This would be so disappointing because it fundamentally misunderstands the whole point of Lisa. But it's also exactly the kind of thing I would expect out of modern game dev. :(
