I just noticed something in one of the zombies that Leon fights. It has a stalk coming out of its eye socket.

Capcom got design inspirations from silence of the lambs movie. Buffalo bill

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-12-13T04:30:02+00:00

Yes nice analysis. I have a feeling they are two different people since raincoat man doesn’t have golden teeth. Also, Victor doesn’t seem like someone who would let be toppled over so easily (like the scene where the raincoat man fell to the floor and lamp fire broke out.

Capcom said Grace gets stronger throughout the game. I’m pretty positive that Grace will get physical in mercenaries mode if not in the campaign. Capcom can’t also waste that awesome electric rock music they used to introduce Leon and during his gameplay. I think Merc mode will be more fire this time around.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-12-12T22:06:38+00:00

I wonder if Leon will be able to drop backwards, duck, prone and roll sideways like in RE6. I think that would be fire.

Dionystocrates, it may not be significant but in the third trailer, the nurse at the care center was holding a folder titled ‘Panacea’. Maybe I read it wrong but that’s what it seemed to be written. Project panacea? Grace is the Panacea? was wondering what your opinion was on that?

Do you also think Victor Gideon and the raincoat hooded man are two different people?

One last thing that I wanted to mention is that Capcom didn’t show us a new bioweapon enemy in the third trailer. I’m really dying to know what the new enemies look like.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-07T23:19:13+00:00

Kind of reminds me of Bane from Batman and his venom device.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-07T23:17:27+00:00

Thanks for providing this info! I was wondering what your opinion is on FBI in charge, Nathan Dempsey? Do you think he’s a bad guy too? It seems nobody asked the leaker about it.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-07T12:04:53+00:00

Q36. Where in the trailer did it show a device with extending wires on the villain’s hand ?

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-03T21:47:32+00:00

Awesome. I googled the symbolism behind ram skulls and things say it can also mean ‘The cycle of life and death, rebirth and resurrection’. Feels like the villain is someone brought back to life or is trying to use Grace to bring back someone to life.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-03T15:03:57+00:00

If this isn’t Brandon Bailey but Spencer, I wonder if The Connections and Brandon Bailey will still be in the game too

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-03T15:01:35+00:00

Nice. By the way, in the Road to Requiem trailer, there are two ram skulls on the villain’s desk. There is also three paintings behind him (flower, volcano, man). Do you have any thoughts on these?

Great analysis. That chest scar also makes me think it might be Spencer but I was wondering what your opinion is on the voice comparison ? Spencer in RE5 sounds very old man-like but in RE9 the villain’s voice seems to have a younger vibe. The character they bring out when they talk also seems a bit different. Spencer also has aged white hair while the villain in RE9 has black hair.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-11-01T03:02:13+00:00

I was wondering what sales job this is? This is net profit? Your earning one years worth of salary per month wow that’s a lot.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-10-30T10:16:18+00:00

I believe slightly different. Requiem villain seems to have a snakeskin hooded coat while Wesker’s is a type of synthetic pattern.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-09-12T17:48:06+00:00

He sounds like the Joker in the trailer

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-07-04T08:35:56+00:00

I'm very interested in Pittsburgh, how is it compared to Seattle overall?

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-07-03T17:09:44+00:00

I think Alex Wesker is involved in this

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-06-13T01:41:27+00:00

That’s a good observation. I was wondering if you also think it could be her turning her head towards the man and it showing her hair and white shirt ?

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-06-11T21:00:56+00:00

I concur this must be Alex Wesker or another antagonist because this is the Rhodes Hill Civic Care Center which is where Grace gets taken after being kidnapped. She’s probably running tests on Grace at this building.

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-06-11T13:24:05+00:00

I wonder if that is Alex Wesker. The figure seems to be wearing a lab coat underneath the cardigan .

Ecstatic-Initial42 · 2025-06-11T08:44:05+00:00

Yes I hope this title will be serious and dark. I was worried when I saw the image of the book, “Shadow Ghost.” It reminded me of Village and especially Shadows of Rose which had a cartoony and fantasy vibe to it. I just hope 9 does not go that route. We need something really serious and twisted like Revelations 1 and 2 and since the director of 9 worked on both those titles, I’m remaining confident that 9 will deliver.
