Then mouth breathing under her truck, I'm like.
0:18
You open your mouth, you gotta. I can't let it even hit the
0:20
floor. No, no, it leaks and it hits
0:23
your tongue and it fucking sends the sensation down to your
0:26
entire body. Did you eat paint chips as a

2:31
Anyways, you ready Evan? Yes, yes I am.
2:35
Wow, Resident Evil 9 is so fucking good.
2:38
Resident Evil 9 is probably probably 1 of if not the best in
2:43
the series now at this point I think.
2:45
I think the only reason it holds that spot for me and why it
2:49
might change in some point is that I think a lot of us who are
2:54
fans of the games have a lot of nostalgia for the previous ones
2:57
and that changes our opinion. But I think on its face is like
3:01
a first time, a first playthrough of it.
3:04
I have never had such a phenomenal experience that was
3:07
both scary and action oriented from a Resident Evil game.
3:12
It is always sort of been like one of the other, and I feel
3:15
like this blended both of those perfectly for me.
3:19
So yeah, I mean, where do you want to start?
3:22
We could start really anywhere. I think this game is perfect.
3:26
It is to preface, this is getting a 10 out of 10 for me.
3:30
I'll just I'll say it right now, let's say. 10 out of 10 math,
3:33
you can agree with that, yeah. Let's just start with the story
3:38
beat here. Let's let's go down that road.
3:41
Let's talk about the switch in perspective from Grace to Leon,
3:47
Leon to Grace. I think that was done expertly.
3:51
I thought that was it. It kept the game fresh.
3:54
And also the beginning portions where you're playing the game
3:57
did something that I thought I thought was so intelligent.
4:00
And I'm going to try to be a spoiler free until the end of
4:03
the episode. In the first half of the game,
4:07
it does a subversion in in your brain because you're playing a
4:11
lot of grace with some Leon sprinkled in.
4:13
And then it just flips. You're like, ah, I I see, I get
4:19
it. I especially once you get to
4:21
that, that part of the game and you're like, OK, I understand
4:27
now. I get it with this is what we're
4:29
doing. I thought they did that very
4:31
good and I thought to keep us on our toes as the players, because
4:34
when you're playing US, Grace, you're terrified.
4:36
It is almost playing isolation with weapons, right, because you
4:39
can you me, Evan watched me. I killed everything with grace.
4:43
And I did too. I did too.
4:45
I'll, I'll, I'll agree with you on that.
4:46
Yeah, I treated it more like RE2 than I think what they wanted us
4:52
to play it as, which is more RE-7.
4:54
Yeah. So I think that was definitely a
4:56
part of it. Yeah, I I agree with that.
5:00
I, I mean, it's just, and Leon's parts are just so it's fan
5:04
service, but it's not over the top.
5:08
It, it is in a good way. It is it's over the top, but
5:12
it's not that I I, I never sat there and I went I didn't need
5:16
that. I sat there the entire time
5:17
going. I want more of that.
5:19
Like I loved every second of like what Leon's saying his
5:22
quips. They're fast, it's action hero
5:25
and it's just everything I love from Resident Evil 2, Resident
5:27
Evil 7-8, you know, it's just awesome.
5:32
It is so awesome. Let's go down the story.
5:34
The story to me was a great addition into the trilogy and to
5:39
the overall narrative of Resident Evil.
5:42
I think this pushes that story further than it has ever been
5:45
pushed before, like in a direction that is now immovable.
5:51
Now this is where the series has to go, and that makes me excited
5:55
for more because now we don't know where it goes.
5:59
We have not a clue. With Resident Evil 7 to 8, you
6:03
can go, OK, I can kind of piece this together.
6:06
I mean, really, I mean, because 7-7 ends in a in a way where you
6:12
you do meet Chris Redfield. Yeah.
6:15
So it does tie into the wider narrative of things.
6:18
But you're not really sure. Because like I think if I'm not
6:20
mistaken, like the plane they or the helicopter they land in has
6:23
like a blue umbrella symbol, which is not the traditional
6:26
umbrella color. And eight further expands upon
6:31
Chris, but you don't know really anything else of what's going on
6:35
in the world at A at a wider scale.
6:38
Whereas I think this brought it back home in a very specific
6:43
way. But also it was great to see
6:46
Leon again in a way that wasn't just like here he is like look
6:50
at him, he's cool. It's like you're doing a lot of
6:53
that, I will say in the game, you're kind of just like I like
6:55
for me, I was just kind of like, I feel, I feel like a badass
6:59
every time I play it. Like, and I love to, I love to
7:02
be playing as him because he was particularly for me, a Resident
7:05
Evil 4 on the game Cube was like my first Resident Evil.
7:09
So I had a strong connection to seeing it.
7:11
Like he's older and he's more grizzled.
7:14
He's. He is.
7:15
Not. Like he's, he's kind of gruff in
7:18
the fourth game, but he has like, I think it's because he's
7:21
still he's still young. He's still young.
7:23
So he has like a bit of a spark or something like that, like a
7:26
bit of a hope in him. Resident Evil 2 remake expert,
7:29
you know, you can definitely see, I mean, he's a rookie that
7:31
day. So he's you know, we were
7:32
cracking up every time his quips in RE2 are what the and what the
7:36
Oh my God. And then which?
7:38
We get a what the in this game? We do, but in RE-9 we get, you
7:42
know, like, but Doctor in the trailer that runs through the
7:45
woman with the chainsawed, he's like, I think I want a second
7:47
opinion. Yeah, I think I want a second
7:49
opinion or there's on house orders doc and it's like it's.
7:55
Sort of like there is a scene with him and the the antagonist
7:59
of the game and the guy, the antagonist asks him any
8:02
questions and Leon's like just one.
8:05
When was the last time you brushed your teeth?
8:06
Brushed your teeth? Yeah.
8:08
Which like pisses him off. He's like, this is serious.
8:12
Like, yeah, that's the that's the best part about it.
8:15
It's Leon has that. Quality, he just kind of laughs
8:18
everything, not even laughs everything down because he's not
8:20
boisterous. He just kind of like has a gruff
8:22
demeanor and then does his job, so to speak like which I think I
8:27
think it sets things up for the 10th game because we'll talk
8:31
about that at the end. I think when we talk about the
8:33
the the story, I think that the ending at large and when we're a
8:37
bit more spoiler filled. But to switch it up a bit and
8:42
talk more about the gameplay side of things.
8:45
I feel like this game basically did every single Resident Evil
8:51
gameplay feature thing that we've seen in the past, like 5
8:53
to, you know, eight years. Like we've got RE like the
8:59
Graces sections are very much a mix of RE-7, like the horror
9:04
aspect, running and hiding. But you do have a bit of RE2
9:07
there as well where it's you do have a gun, you have a decent
9:11
amount of ammo and you can craft ammo as well.
9:15
So you can fight things. You're just not as strong as
9:18
Leon, who can like get into fistfights and and melee combat.
9:21
Grace can't. She can really only shove people
9:23
down. So I liked that aspect where it
9:28
felt like a combination of both. I was getting because she still
9:31
has to. I mean objectively she has to
9:33
solve way more puzzles than Leon, but that's.
9:36
Fine, a little. I I could have used a little bit
9:39
more of that Resident Evil puzzle.
9:41
I I agree, I agree. I think that I, I would like to
9:44
see more of that because like I think I could play it now and
9:48
and not remember, but RE2's opening in that beginning
9:52
portion in the, in the police station.
9:53
That's bar not like it's the best puzzle section I think in
9:56
any Resident Evil game yes, since like at like actually all
10:01
of them, but like 2 have that be part of her like she can craft
10:08
and she can like she can get out of situations and things like
10:11
that. Also, it really is interesting
10:15
because you get to experience the the Rhodes Hill care Center
10:18
chronic care center through her eyes for the first time.
10:21
So you get that aspect of it and to what Nick and I found out
10:26
after we finished the game is that it's sort of you're not
10:29
meant to kill everything in that section.
10:31
You're not meant to be a gung ho, it seems, because Leon goes
10:36
through that same portion of the game.
10:38
So everything that the grace leaves behind, Leon will fight.
10:42
And so when you get to Leon and you play through that, he
10:44
doesn't have anything to do. They don't.
10:46
Evan and I walked through that part of the game.
10:50
Yeah, we really just ran through it because there was nothing to
10:53
do. We killed everything, all that
10:55
sort of stuff. At the end of it's just like
10:58
kind of looking for the raccoons, you're kind of looking
11:00
for those baubles. And then, you know, you pick up
11:03
any antique coin, not with Leon, but with grace, things like
11:06
that. I will say I picked up way more
11:10
antique coins than I could use. That's funny because I did not
11:15
pick up all of them. I couldn't.
11:17
I didn't get the last thing. I got all of it.
11:21
I got the first three. I didn't get the thing that
11:24
gives gives you the. 50 more for.
11:27
The blood, yeah. That was confusing to me.
11:31
I was like, why? OK.
11:32
And then we figured out the roulette puzzle.
11:34
I well, yeah. So so that, yeah.
11:36
So that was you basically shoot 3 numbers there or you have you
11:42
can shoot one of the three numbers that will land on and if
11:44
it lands on it, you get a coin. So you you shoot a red 7, it
11:48
lands on a red 7, you'll get an antique coin that you can use
11:51
over there. So.
11:52
And I think I was only like two or three off, so I wasn't.
11:54
Very far, it was like 15297. I did find it interesting
11:59
though, that you pick up those antique coins right at the
12:01
start, like at the very beginning, like you start
12:04
picking up those antique coins, which I thought was cool.
12:09
I don't know, I liked her sections a lot.
12:13
I think. Yeah, the only complaint I would
12:14
really have is, and not even really complaint, but just I
12:17
would love more puzzle solving or more difficult puzzles.
12:20
I guess that felt somewhat simple to solve, not simple, but
12:25
like it felt like it didn't take me too, too much.
12:28
I just kind of, I took my time in my first play through, mostly
12:30
because I was exploring and just feeling the atmosphere.
12:33
But I love her sections. But to talk about Leon's Leon is
12:41
just like, I don't even know how to describe it.
12:43
I I mean, what was your first impression when you got to play
12:46
as, let's just, let's just say when you got to do the second
12:50
portion and you got to play as Leon?
12:53
Oh, we're back. This is the immediate thing.
12:55
I was like, we are so fucking back right now, dude.
12:57
It was great. It was great playing a character
12:59
that I can remember in Resident Evil 2, obviously, Yeah, playing
13:04
as a child, like I was a kid playing RE2, Yeah.
13:08
And I've always, I've been more of a Chris Redfield type of guy,
13:13
sure, But I do love Leon because of two and four, obviously,
13:17
Right. So, but like 4 is my favorite
13:19
Resident Evil. I think it's what it is the
13:21
best, but it was amazing to play Leon again and to see an older
13:26
Leon just kicking fucking ass. You know, those quips were
13:31
fucking me up so bad and the his the best way I could put Leon's
13:38
subsections in the first half of the game.
13:40
Or it's just pure excitement. It is pure.
13:43
It's like a roller coaster because it's quick.
13:45
The beginning with Leon, it's very quick.
13:49
But it's a nice roller coaster because you're like you're
13:51
getting it all in at once and then you go back to being scared
13:54
and then you go back to Leon's like adrenaline and just this
14:00
awesome blood pumping action. You're like, this is fucking
14:02
sweet. Like the first time with the
14:04
chainsaw and all that is just so awesome because it's all
14:07
callbacks and that is the most with while everything with
14:11
Grace, it's all this is new to us as the player.
14:15
Yeah. We don't know her story.
14:17
I don't know nothing about you yet except her mom, which she
14:22
was in Resident Evil Outbreak outbreak, which it's crazy to me
14:27
that that they're tying it all in like that.
14:30
So that was fucking sweet. But yeah, I know Leon's
14:33
beginning sections are awesome. Really nostalgia.
14:37
I mean, you want to talk about nostalgia with Leon, you wait
14:39
until this later in this episode where it's like the entirety,
14:43
the entirety of the second game is just like a kick back to the
14:47
past, which is awesome. Literally.
14:49
It literally is. And you're simply like, oh man,
14:51
dude, how can, how can this get better?
14:53
And then just continues to do so and it improves upon itself.
14:56
And the the same with gracious sections.
14:58
It takes the some of the best parts of the Ethan sections from
15:02
or the the Ethan gameplay from 7:00 and 8:00.
15:05
Yeah, and really shines a light known this is what Resident Evil
15:08
can be and that's what it should be and you should play it in the
15:11
perspectives given to you. I would like to see it in third
15:14
person for Grace's perspective and then first in Leon's just to
15:18
see how the difference is. But those perspectives make the
15:21
difference. So yeah, I would, I will agree
15:23
with that. I like that they do recommend it
15:25
at the beginning that you can play or you should play Grayson
15:27
1st and Leon and 3rd. I did switch for a second in my
15:33
first playthrough as Leon. I switched to first person.
15:37
Thought it was cool. It looks great just like Grace's
15:41
obviously like her perspective does.
15:43
But it does take you out of first person every time.
15:46
You do like a melee attack. So if he like does that kick
15:49
where he kicks them up against the wall and then crushes their
15:51
head, that goes to third person. You don't do that in his his
15:55
vision. His his view like yeah, so.
16:00
That's why I was like, you know what?
16:01
I'm fine with it because at the end of the day, this engine that
16:05
they have is so well done that it works great for first person,
16:09
for the perspective that they wanted to have.
16:11
And it looks very, very good. I would say arguably better in
16:16
some ways in 3rd because you see the depth of these actions.
16:21
Like you see Leon when he kicks this zombie into the wall, you
16:26
see his face scrunch up as he applies pressure and crushes the
16:31
the zombies head. And not only that, the zombies
16:34
head sprays blood and it doesn't just go everywhere.
16:37
It goes where their head goes. So if you're like where their
16:41
neck goes, So if if they're if they fall to the left, the blood
16:45
sprays that way and it covers things to the left.
16:47
It doesn't just go everywhere. It's like those little details
16:50
where it's like, OK, like in some of that stuff you wouldn't
16:54
see in first person, you know, as Grace or, or as Leon.
16:57
So I think it's really, really cool to to see that in third
17:02
person, which is what makes me want to play it through again as
17:04
Grace and 3rd because I already kind of, it's so fresh in my
17:07
mind. I know the scares, I know where
17:08
things are going to be at more or less.
17:10
So I can just kind of enjoy. How does she look in comparison
17:14
to him? Because their gameplay is not
17:17
only very different, but they are their own people.
17:21
Like Grace is scared. She, you know, she stutters or
17:26
stammers when she's talking to people.
17:29
Whenever in whenever she's in the game, she always in every
17:32
cutscenes, she pretty much always looks down and looks away
17:36
from the the person that she's talking to.
17:37
More or less. I think up until the end, she's
17:42
she's almost like timid, but she's also like, she's like
17:45
Ripley, right? She's she's actually a badass in
17:47
a lot of ways. And then Leon is just, he
17:51
doesn't, he's almost stoic in the face of everything he comes
17:55
across. He doesn't really care.
17:57
So it's cool to see that because just like in that POV, like Leon
18:02
doesn't ever sound scared, even when he's fighting things more
18:07
horrific than Grace's fought, he doesn't even, he's not fazed.
18:10
He's seen this before. He's seen, you know, sorts of
18:13
things like that. So I I it's just, it's that
18:16
attention to detail with the gameplay that we got.
18:19
Like the gun sounds so punchy. I want to talk about that really
18:22
quickly. The the audio for the game is
18:23
great because it has to be in terms of the the scares,
18:26
obviously, but like man, some of those pistols, especially the
18:29
requiem the the big ass. Oh, they bark, Bubba.
18:32
Oh big country. Oh man, I I love that gun.
18:36
I thought it was actually such a cool addition to the.
18:39
Game they are barking loud at this.
18:42
Game even Grace's yeah pistol the two pistols that she gets
18:45
she gets her own later later on in the game or not later on it's
18:48
pretty early on but like it's like that it sounds great
18:54
especially when you're in like one of those clothes like like
18:56
an office or something like that it it's loud I don't know I just
19:01
I I love the the way they've done this game like the path
19:04
tracing looks great too if you want to talk about graphics I
19:07
know you just turned it on but. At the end of the fucking game,
19:10
I didn't think about it and I don't know why I didn't think
19:12
about it. It's one of those things where
19:14
there was no driver for PC really until yesterday.
19:17
Until what's the well, when, when people are hearing this,
19:21
it'll be Friday. It would.
19:22
Well, it'll been Monday regardless.
19:24
So I mean I just didn't think about it, but that Even so the
19:28
game looks pretty just on high or maxed out settings minus the
19:32
path tracing. Putting that on is a whole
19:34
different fucking mask dude. It's like, holy shit, like
19:38
everything, it just looks so good and everything is moving in
19:43
these like intricate, beautiful ways.
19:45
And the characters look awesome. The mocap is great, the lip
19:49
syncing is great. The hair is just beautiful.
19:53
It's I mean, the tech behind that, the tech behind that hair
19:55
is just awesome. Everything feels like it is, is
20:00
alive. So when you kill something, it
20:02
truly feels like it died. That that goes hand in hand too
20:07
with the zombies. They change that up too.
20:09
And the whole thing of how they remember their past, their
20:12
lives. So they will stick to their
20:14
tasks. It makes for great gameplay
20:16
purposes, but also gives them a bit of a human element.
20:19
They, you know, these people did have lives and they were, you
20:23
know, working at this place when they were unfortunately turned.
20:27
So it's like, it just, it adds a little bit to it.
20:29
But yeah, the hair looks great. I, I will point out when we were
20:33
playing this game last on Friday, when it came out at
20:37
midnight, I loaded it up and I found it remarkable that we had
20:41
a good portion of people in the Discord at the, at the time
20:44
respond camp community discord. You should join it if you're
20:46
listening. Everybody even said the same
20:50
thing. We're like, Oh my God, they look
20:51
like actual people. Yeah.
20:54
Like, like their faces, their reactions to things.
20:56
They're, they're, they're, yeah. Like you said, the voice acting
20:59
lip sync, like they look like real people.
21:02
And that's it's something that we saw really just with Leon
21:05
because I was playing through in first person is Grace at the
21:07
time. But when you switch to third
21:09
person in both perspectives and you like look at them, they look
21:13
identical to their cutscene versions.
21:14
They don't look any they don't look any different.
21:17
And that's very impressive to see that like to see their faces
21:20
react to things like Grace looks scared when she hears things or
21:24
when something happens in front of her.
21:25
Leon, like I said, he he sort of has a different facial reaction,
21:28
especially if he's in hand to hand combat or he's using the
21:31
the the hatchet. Like it's just, I don't know, I
21:35
could I could give this game endless praise.
21:37
It's that's Capcom's finest when it's come to this this title.
21:42
It just feels like a great handcrafted experience in the
21:45
Resident Evil universe. And I'm just it it it's, it's
21:50
truly impressive what they what they've done with this.
21:52
And I didn't doubt it, right? Like when I first heard about
21:55
the two players and everything like that.
21:57
And I was like, OK, we'll see how this goes and actually
21:59
playing it as these two characters.
22:02
Obviously when Leon was announced and spoiled, right?
22:04
Like we all knew it was leaked, but I was like, I'm going to
22:08
prefer to play his sections only.
22:09
And that is true. But I never sat there and said I
22:13
want the grace sections to end. I wanted them to keep going.
22:17
I wanted the build up and wanted that fear so that I can feel
22:21
like I earned the action because I got through those levels that
22:24
were terrifying. That's a good way to put it.
22:27
You know, and I mean, there's that scene with Chunk.
22:31
Awesome fucking little mini boss.
22:32
The Butcher is an awesome mini boss.
22:34
Both of which I like totally cheesed.
22:37
But that's fine. I didn't mean to do it.
22:39
We both, we both did that, so you know.
22:45
I like it happens. I also like the injector.
22:49
As a weapon, yeah. That's awesome.
22:52
You know, you stop shit from respawning, you just blow shit
22:55
up. You know you can one tap chunk
22:58
with it. Even though Brendan got fucked
23:00
over by the game hard. For context, the hemolytic
23:04
injector is an item you can craft that you can essentially
23:07
use it to stealth kill zombies and it works by infecting the
23:11
blood of whatever you stab it into.
23:13
And of course a zombie is filled with infected blood so it just,
23:17
it just explodes. The entire body just explodes
23:21
and covers everything. Especially chunk.
23:24
Oh yeah, Chunk has a lot of blood in him.
23:28
Yeah, well, that's that's the other guy.
23:30
That's the frog guy. Well.
23:32
Chunk's out of the second. There's a, there's a common, I
23:36
think through line through the gangster.
23:37
There's always an enemy that sounds like that.
23:39
I think. I think Capcom just thinks all
23:41
fat people sound like that. I don't think that's.
23:45
It thanks Capcom. Not nice.
23:48
I will. I will say that can we talk more
23:53
about the second section now you think we think we've earned our
23:56
time on that? You know what, buddy?
23:59
I think we have. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
24:02
have not beaten Resident Evil Requiem, stop here unless you
24:09
don't care. If you don't care, guess what?
24:11
We go back to Raccoon City so too late.
24:13
Yeah, well, that was in the trailers people saw.
24:16
That, yeah, everyone knows we go, You go back to the RPD, you
24:19
go back to Raccoon City. But that whole section oh master
24:25
class. So I will say I got worried
24:29
because I saw somebody on Twitter when the when like over
24:32
the weekend who said that like, you know, you only got 10
24:34
minutes as Leon. And I was like, there's no way.
24:36
They're really only giving me like 10 minutes.
24:38
And the whole game takes place in just this care center, right?
24:41
And then it doesn't. Yeah.
24:44
And it's like, no, no, no. You got to play the essentially,
24:47
the way it works in, in my mind is that you get, you get Grace
24:51
very shortly after Leon, very shortly after that.
24:53
You go back to Grace, have a bit more time with her, switch to
24:56
Leon to understand how his path crosses with Grace.
25:00
They split up again. And then you play mostly Grace
25:03
for the rest of that time in the game.
25:05
And then you have a section where you play as Leon again,
25:09
you go back to Grace, and then you finally go to Leon for an
25:13
extended period of time. Oh, it's his section.
25:16
Bro it's his section of the game and it it goes on.
25:18
I would argue it actually probably goes on longer than
25:20
Grace. 'S it does it.
25:22
It has. It has, and I think that's fine,
25:25
although I do feel like I wish I could have had Grace's last
25:29
section of the game a little bit longer.
25:31
I think that would have been nice.
25:32
Or, or not even longer, so much as maybe filled with more
25:34
puzzles. There's also a bit of a detour
25:39
that's a flashback as well in the in the Raccoon City
25:44
orphanage. Terrifying, by the way.
25:46
I will. Say.
25:47
That was probably. One that felt like isolation.
25:50
That was terrifying and I will I will say 1 brief thing as to why
25:55
when the one kid jumps off the balcony and lands in front of
25:59
you and their neck just. But then they get that was it,
26:03
Yeah. And you're like, well, it's and.
26:07
They're laughing the entire time.
26:09
They're giggling. Yeah, it's that's the worst.
26:11
Part is sucks. You can just hear them laughing
26:13
it. Sucks in a good way.
26:14
It's a good section. It's it's it's a good section,
26:17
but I almost hope I I almost think now it's like, I would
26:20
have loved just to have more time as Grace and like solving
26:23
puzzles there. But I understand it's, it's a
26:25
way to show how we get there or why it's there.
26:27
Yeah, but Leon's section is 1 to me more terrifying than Grace's,
26:35
and all I'll say is Spider and I'll leave it at that.
26:38
You and Ice T bro you guys are freaking out about this spider.
26:41
Dude, Ice T doesn't like this spider either.
26:43
I know you don't like it. He's having dreams about it,
26:45
man. Yeah, no, it's terrifying.
26:47
Somebody somebody posted today they they recommended him the
26:51
Thomas the Tank Engine mod because it replaces all the
26:53
spiders with the giant Thomas the Tank Engine.
26:56
These motherfuckers move fast with these mods.
26:59
Oh yeah, they I think by the end of the first day there was
27:02
mostly there were only mods to just like it, basically cheat.
27:05
Like you would have like a 100% chance to crit every time you
27:09
shot type. Thing.
27:10
Oh, that's so lame. You know it was it was cheat
27:12
engine type stuff, not anything like like reskins of.
27:16
Reskins. What kind of reskins are we
27:17
getting for Leon right now? Oh, I hesitate to even look.
27:21
The last thing I saw was I I don't remember what they had for
27:25
him. I can't.
27:26
I think it was something that he was new.
27:28
It doesn't matter. It was bound to happen.
27:32
It was only a matter as to when. Leon section is great and I love
27:37
that he has his own sort of progression as a as a gameplay
27:42
thing of like you get the shop and you get to upgrade your
27:45
weapons or buy new ones and things like that to just, yeah,
27:51
to just move right through it and talk about, I mean RPD.
27:56
Man, RPU is great. I do really quick want to go
27:59
back to the shop. OK not a fan of it.
28:01
I didn't like it. Did you felt like?
28:05
Before, what did you want from it?
28:06
I feel like they wanted to put the merchant in.
28:11
Yeah, that's fair. I feel like there was a.
28:14
That's a good point. You know, with what you see in
28:18
this section, are we going full spoilers just light because I
28:22
there's I don't. Think let's just do full
28:24
spoilers. We we OK, you said, you said.
28:26
Hey, if you haven't played it then.
28:28
This is your last warning. This is this is this is full
28:30
bore. I mean dude, fucking Mr. X is in
28:33
this bitch like hard like hard as fuck.
28:38
So like at this point man, just just fucking put the merchant
28:43
down. Why?
28:44
Why? Why is it a box?
28:46
It's basically what you're saying, like why is it just a
28:48
box? And I agree.
28:49
I I agree. With that, like it, there was a
28:51
part of me I was like. Better you bring it up there
28:54
the. Bullshit in this thing.
28:56
Right I. Want all the weapons, I can't
28:57
put them all in here. I want to buy them all those so
29:00
I can progress them because I'll just go out and kill zombies and
29:03
collect the little. I hate that it's called CP, but
29:05
the CP points, I'll go get those points and then I'll go buy the
29:10
guns. I'll upgrade them all and that's
29:12
an achievement. Boom, I'm done.
29:15
So like, why would I not do that?
29:16
But like, I feel as if they already felt like maybe they'd
29:23
gone too far with some of the the fan service.
29:26
But I feel like if if you put him in there and you know,
29:29
there's like a scene you're walking by, you hear some
29:32
rustling and what you buy, it's stranger.
29:35
That would have been people would have, that would have been
29:37
viral. I think, yeah, I think that
29:39
would have been cool. Because also that's another
29:41
thing too, right? He can't quip back and forth
29:42
with the box. He he can't talk to anything.
29:46
He doesn't. I mean, he really only talks to
29:48
Sherry, which is a shout out to Sherry Burke and the child he
29:52
saves in the second game who's all grown up now and is.
29:54
Everyone stop. Claire abandoned her just Or was
29:57
that Jill? That would have been Claire.
30:00
Yeah, Claire abandoned her. Leon took Leon's, her dad.
30:02
Be nice, everybody. Yeah, and Leon's not.
30:05
Is he married to Ada? That's that's Did you see that
30:07
right now? Did the did you see what the
30:09
director said or the one of the devs from Capcom said Somebody.
30:13
Did you see that? No, somebody Instagram DMD him
30:17
and asked. I think I bookmarked it.
30:20
Hold on, I'll read it to you. I think it is the where he's
30:23
like, what do you think or whatever.
30:25
No, he didn't say. What do you think here?
30:29
I hope you're doing well. I saw that Leon has a ring in
30:31
Resident Evil Requiem. Who is he married to if you
30:33
don't mind me asking? Also, I love the game, thanks
30:35
for this masterpiece. Requiem doesn't make it clear,
30:37
but if you played the previous games you should get an idea.
30:39
Thanks for playing. And then somebody else
30:42
instagrammed him and deemed him and said Leon and Ada are now
30:45
married. I love the game, thank you for
30:47
this masterpiece. And he replied, You know what I
30:49
mean. Thanks for playing.
30:51
What? OK, so Leon and Ada are married.
30:56
I I assume that it's ADA, yes. That's crazy.
31:01
Good for Leon. Good for Leon.
31:04
To add to that which we can we can talk about because this is
31:09
so rumored at this point, the DLC is expected to be an
31:14
advanced development because the game was supposed to come out
31:16
last year. So there is speculation as to
31:19
what it could be, but current things right now is that it it
31:22
is going to be a Leon focused DLC.
31:26
About his life in between 7:00 and 8:00, right?
31:28
Yeah, in between 7:00 and 8:00, maybe showing how he and Ada got
31:35
married or when they met again or something like that.
31:37
Or maybe we find out he's married before any of this
31:40
anyways, you know, maybe it's something that happens right
31:42
after six or whatever. I'm excited to see that.
31:47
I thought the whole here's here's one thing I'll say
31:52
because we're in full spoiler anyway, it's shown in the
31:55
trailers that he is afflicted with some sort of illness.
31:57
And it turns out to be that this is a latent T virus infection
32:03
that basically just turns you into that like black goop mold.
32:07
It's not the black mold from the previous games, but it basically
32:10
just kills you from the inside. And I don't know they, they give
32:16
you a choice at the end of the game, you know, like where you
32:20
can choose the ending and the the ending that they want you to
32:24
pick. The Canon ending is very clear,
32:26
at least to me. I mean, if you're paying
32:28
attention to the story at all, it becomes very clear from the
32:31
very onset of it what Elpis is, which is what the antagonist
32:37
that we've seen in the trailers is looking for, and another
32:41
person that he's partnered with who looks like Albert Wesker,
32:44
but it's not. It's it's a Wesker clone.
32:47
It's funny. Yeah, it's a guy named Zeno
32:49
who's also suffering from the the same T virus infection.
32:53
With the affliction, yeah. Yeah, and but you can tell he's
32:56
also a clone of Western, not just by how he looks, but also
32:59
his abilities. He has the same sort of like
33:01
super speed where he can dodge bullets, things like that.
33:05
Very cool. Very big bummer for me that you
33:08
do not fight him at all and he is basically only a cutscene
33:12
character. That was kind of a bummer, but I
33:14
get it. I hope that that's more so just
33:16
teasing for whatever 10 will have in store because and I
33:19
think we'll we'll talk about this why we think 10 will have,
33:22
I think Leon and Chris uniting. Could be Jill, Jill and Chris.
33:28
It could be Claire and Chris. I think Leon will be there to a
33:33
degree, but I think we're going to be playing a lot of Chris.
33:36
He he needs his roses bro. He he does.
33:39
I get it. I don't know.
33:41
I just have my fund slash not fund memories of him in five and
33:45
I just kind of like. You better be careful saying
33:47
that out loud. I don't know, I haven't played
33:50
five in so long, but I'm waiting for the remake if they do it.
33:53
But it sounds like they're not. It sounds like they're.
33:54
Doing Veronica. Veronica and Ari one as well
33:59
like but I'm curious how they do all that.
34:01
But anyway, the to, I mean, I don't know you want to talk
34:08
about the the ending ending with the Canon or the true one I
34:11
guess. Yeah, it'll 2 seconds here.
34:16
OK, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put a bow on my thought on
34:19
the Raccoon City. Oh yeah, sure, actually.
34:24
I, I, I thought it was great. I thought that whole section was
34:27
great, especially for long time fans or for fans just getting in
34:32
who actually who, who started canonically, right?
34:34
Like you started from like 1 all the way here and to go back
34:38
there and to see it just left in time where we last left it.
34:43
Yeah, that was cool. It was like painstakingly down
34:47
to every detail. The the actual dude, the the,
34:51
the posters like the the billboards in Raccoon City, the,
34:54
the, the posters on the walls in RPD are all the same.
34:58
There is not a single thing they missed it.
34:59
It's. There's zombies who or people
35:02
who have died in cutscenes who are still there.
35:05
That father with the jaw missing or whatever.
35:08
He's on the wall his. Skeleton.
35:09
The cop, Yeah. The cop.
35:11
The cop. The cop, Yeah.
35:11
The cop that gets bit or whatever, yeah.
35:13
Yep, he's still there. I mean, there's a lot there,
35:15
man. And Tofu makes an appearance.
35:17
Did you see that? I saw Tofu and I also saw Marvin
35:22
in his desk and like that. That was one of those things
35:28
where I just was like, like, it it.
35:31
It makes me sad, but it makes me more sad because I know how it
35:34
affects. I know how it affects Leon's
35:36
character. His psyche, yeah.
35:37
Yeah, and he says something when he reads the piece of paper from
35:40
Marvin because. And it shows again how much they
35:42
were so excited to meet him, which also makes it such a sad
35:46
thing because it was his first day.
35:47
It was like it all went to shit by the time he got there.
35:50
But it shows like like they got soda in case he didn't drink
35:54
because they didn't want him to get in trouble.
35:56
Things like that like just little things, little details
36:00
like that in in the Police Department that I thought were
36:02
great. I loved the the surprise tyrant
36:07
slash Mr. X appearance. I thought that was crazy.
36:09
I. Cracked up.
36:10
I was like, this is fun, but like it's, it's, it's a fun
36:13
fight with him though. It is and it and you're smiling
36:16
the whole time. It's it's fun when you're
36:17
running away from him too, because it's it's a call back.
36:20
I think again to 2 when you first at least in two in the
36:24
remake. I don't know how it was in the
36:25
in the original, but in the remake you like, I think you
36:29
first encounter him when he picks up the the tail of the
36:32
helicopter out of the way the hallway.
36:35
And I thought it was very interesting or not not
36:37
interesting, but I thought it was just cool that they had you
36:41
run from him again where he's all he's now using that same
36:44
tale from 28 years ago, trying to, you know, stab you with it.
36:49
To which I did die to that once. I didn't move out of the way in
36:51
time. I didn't understand where to go.
36:53
And very gruesome, very gruesome.
36:55
Yes, that I will add that really quick.
36:57
The death scenes for both Leon and Grace feel very Dead Space
37:02
inspired. They're very they're very
37:04
violent. But no, I agree with you.
37:07
I thought that whole RPD section was I like that there was there
37:12
was just the 1 zombie to like just you know take care of or
37:15
whatever, which I thought was kind of cool, but like it just
37:19
was the. Motorcycle scene.
37:21
The motorcycle scene is I don't. The dogs, that was fun.
37:24
That was cool. And fighting Victor was was fun.
37:27
I loved that. I got an achievement because I
37:29
shot AI shot a rocket that was about to be launched at me.
37:32
So what you do? Yeah, from I, I've learned that
37:35
through both getting, losing a couple of those, I also got the
37:37
achievement the same time. But yeah, you have to shoot him
37:40
because if you shoot him enough times, he like stumbles or
37:43
whatever and he misfires it. And yeah, like it.
37:46
That's pretty cool. I thought that whole section
37:48
was, was really funny because he just gets like, like the way it
37:53
ends is so funny because it's like, you know, he's clearly not
37:56
dead. Yeah.
37:57
Yeah. He's just like, you know, he's
37:58
coming. You know, he's going to come
37:59
back later. Yeah, no, that whole RPD
38:03
section, the the motorcycle section like Leon has I think
38:06
probably the best set pieces. The glass section was really
38:09
good as well. The glass section too short Too
38:12
short I I agree. I thought that was.
38:14
That could have been that could have been a whole 1520 minute
38:16
thing and I would have been stoked.
38:18
Yeah, like, give it a, give it a lot of real danger, right?
38:20
I thought that would have been cool.
38:23
I saw a lot of people online complaining about that.
38:25
Like a lot of streamers who were playing it were complaining
38:26
because they're like, well, it's not obvious.
38:28
When you throw a grenade, it's like you're on a paint.
38:30
You're on 25 panes of glass. What do you mean it's not
38:33
obvious? It's.
38:33
Not it's not OK if you throw a fucking rock at it too hard,
38:37
asshole. It'll all break shut.
38:39
Up yeah. So like, well, it's it's like
38:41
it's clearly designed to be that you shoot the glass on what the
38:46
zombies are on or, you know, you shoot the glass, the zombies are
38:48
walking out and it just breaks that pan Yeah, if you shoot too
38:52
many, it all falls apart. It doesn't matter.
38:54
So you have to be careful. It's like it just, it was one of
38:57
those things where I just, I'm watching and I'm just like, do
38:59
you just not think like? No they don't anyway.
39:04
Got mad. No they don't because they're
39:06
pissing me off with marathon as well.
39:08
You guys are a bunch of fucking idiots and I hate that the
39:10
younger crowd took the word chud.
39:12
Can we talk about that's how that It's not yours, Chud.
39:16
Stop saying we're No, not you, the other the younger crowd.
39:20
Don't say chud. Maxim.
39:22
Just call your friends chuds. That's funny.
39:24
You know that's not. Yeah, that's a whole thing now,
39:26
dude, I'm just, I'm gonna bully people.
39:30
You should, You should. I'm going to.
39:32
No, you should do that. You know, much like Leon bullies
39:36
all the enemies in in Resident Evil 9.
39:40
It's so good we have the the end game here.
39:43
So I will add too, we also get a nice call back to the plant 43
39:48
zombies or the. Plant 43 I hate.
39:51
He hated that. Yeah, he did not.
39:53
He did not enjoy that. I thought it was a really cool
39:54
call back because it's such a it's actually quite a long
39:57
section in the second game, but I like that they gave a little
40:01
bit of a call back to it. I thought that that was really
40:03
nice. Good fanservice gets me off.
40:06
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
40:06
It was just not fun for me walking through it.
40:08
I didn't mind the boss fight itself, but I didn't really like
40:11
The Walking through where you can get tangled up.
40:14
That was kind of annoying. Yeah.
40:16
But yeah, the ending. So.
40:21
Essentially, OK, this is full, full spoiler.
40:25
So I'm going to like, I remember a lot of what happened here, but
40:30
essentially Grace is the Grace is the adopted daughter of
40:38
Oswell Spencer of the one of the founders of Umbrella.
40:43
Her mother, Alyssa, not, you know, biological, but her her
40:48
adoptive mother, Alyssa was interviewing Oswell just before
40:53
he died, I believe, and he had Grace at that time and they were
40:58
talking about certain things and, you know, she was asking
41:02
him questions and things like that.
41:04
And essentially, and this kind of is an interesting thing.
41:08
This is has a lot of implications for the lore of who
41:11
Spencer is. His final thing is final like
41:17
concoction. Whatever you want to call his
41:18
final like project was a drug called Elpis or an antiviral
41:26
called Elpis, which is what the antagonist of the game are
41:29
looking for. They do not understand that it
41:33
is an antiviral. It is a it is a universal cure
41:37
for viruses, the T virus, any virus that Umbrella has created.
41:41
It is a It is a cure for everything.
41:43
Yeah, it's a little cure all. It's Oswald's gift to to the the
41:47
world, basically into, I guess in the way I read it, to sort of
41:52
try and atone for all of the things that umbrella.
41:55
He's trying to earn his way back into heaven at the end, yeah.
41:58
I think so, yeah. I think that's absolutely what
42:00
it was. And what a what a gift to
42:01
create, even though it was sitting at the bottom of Raccoon
42:04
City for 28 years. Would have been nice if it
42:08
wasn't. Not a Yeah, not a great
42:10
delivery. No games though.
42:11
No games. Yeah, so the ending involves,
42:15
you understand, discovering what that, what that is, who Grace
42:19
is, how important she is, and saving Leon at the end.
42:24
But you do have a, you have an option at the end of the game to
42:26
choose to destroy Elpis and enter in the wrong password or
42:30
to release Elpis. The Canon ending is to release
42:35
it, obviously, because if you've been paying attention, you know
42:38
that it's a you know that it's a cure all.
42:39
Basically destroying it, from what I understand for players
42:44
who have done it just involves Great Grace is basically the
42:48
only survivor, Zeno, Zeno. Zeno dies because yeah, Leon
42:53
distracts him or whatever as the whole place is coming down or
42:56
whatever because she chose to destroy it.
42:58
So the whole place is collapsing.
42:59
She's the only survivor. That's the end of the game.
43:02
It's done if you release it, she grabs A viral or she grabs A
43:07
vial. Zeno grabs a vial.
43:09
Zeno uses it thinking it'll make him, thinking it'll make him
43:14
incredibly strong because he doesn't listen to anything Grace
43:16
is saying. And then he realizes that it
43:20
saps him of all of his powers. Basically he's.
43:23
So bummed he's. Like he's, he's so pissed off.
43:26
And then Victor comes back missing an arm from his
43:29
motorcycle fight with Leon and grows A tentacle out of it and
43:33
decapitates him, which I thought.
43:35
Was fucking Nemesis. He becomes a like a huge
43:37
nemesis. Yeah, it was it was cool.
43:40
Grace gives Leon the the the Elpis shot, which cures him
43:44
literally immediately. Does not, by the way, give him
43:47
any sort of special powers as far as we know.
43:49
So he's basically just a normal dude.
43:51
I mean, other than being Leon Kennedy, right?
43:53
But and then you get to have a boss fight with Victor, which I
43:58
thought was pretty good, but I will say I struggled with it a
44:01
bit because I was running low on ammo.
44:03
I had nothing to my name. Yeah, it was pretty difficult.
44:06
You had to just rely on what you could pick up and you had to be
44:08
very good with your shots. Really is how it felt.
44:11
I didn't. At the end I had zeros.
44:12
I had no ammo. Yeah, it was my last bullet.
44:15
I was like holy shit. I got lucky because I was able
44:18
to craft one of the grenades and when you have all those little
44:21
red spots at the bottom of the Nemesis pop up in between the
44:25
the fight, that 11 grenade killed all of them.
44:27
And I was like, that is the one thing I needed.
44:32
So that was good. But yeah, then you, you, you
44:34
know, you beat him. Leon and Grace chill down there.
44:37
They're saved by the Hound Wolf squad of Chris Redfield.
44:41
And Leon is still, like, would have been smoother if Chris had
44:44
come earlier. That's like, yeah, here they go.
44:47
They're still bickering. Yeah.
44:49
Oh yeah. Well, of course they have to.
44:52
And I think one of the one of the Hound Wolf squad members
44:56
said that Captain Redfield wants to speak with Leon, which is
45:00
cool. I think that's AI.
45:01
Don't know if that's an upgrade from his previous title in
45:03
eight. I don't know if they ever gave
45:04
him a, I don't know what they called him.
45:07
I think it would be. I'm I'm sure it is, but it's
45:09
it's a question now as to what I don't know who they belong with
45:14
because I don't think it's the BSAA anymore because the BSA was
45:19
all dead in the in the basement or whatever.
45:23
I don't know. We'll have to, we'll have to
45:24
check or we'll have to look at that.
45:26
But essentially the game ends on on a pretty great high note.
45:31
Like it is not. It's not a very dark series I
45:35
think like it is, but it always ends with the good guys winning.
45:38
Like RE 2 ends with you escaping with Claire and Sherry and
45:43
killing everything inside. RE 3 ends with Jill escaping,
45:47
right I think. Doesn't she have a daughter?
45:52
Jill Valentine. No, she doesn't.
45:54
I don't know why. I'm thinking, Doesn't she save
45:55
someone in three though? Like she saves a?
45:57
Yeah, I thought. She did I.
45:59
Don't remember. I thought it was a little girl.
46:00
Maybe that's what I'm thinking about her.
46:01
But I know that's obviously Leon in the second game.
46:04
But anyway, like RE4, you save the president's daughter, you
46:08
know? 5 you and Sheva live.
46:13
I don't think you save anybody other than just killing Albert
46:15
Wesker. 6 I don't remember for the life of me.
46:18
No 7, you save, why can't I remember her name?
46:24
Mia, you save Mia and you live. 8, you sacrifice yourself to
46:29
save your daughter or you know, so it's like there's always,
46:32
it's like this, there's always like the light shining or, you
46:35
know, shining at the end sort of and all these games.
46:38
And I think that 9 takes that to just like everything else it
46:41
does, it takes that to the maximum level.
46:44
Leanne gets cured, Sherry gets cured.
46:46
Grace adopts this this little girl that she meets early in the
46:50
game. Zach with Podcasting with Power
46:53
and Nintendo podcast. Go check that out.
46:56
I was talking to him earlier today and he's like, you know,
47:01
the vials almost pissed me off because I'm like, where's
47:03
Sherry's vial? It went through my head too.
47:07
Like I was like, so Leon gets a vial, Zeno pretty much, Wesker
47:12
gets a vial. I'm like, where's Sherry's vial?
47:15
There was. Like you didn't?
47:17
Yeah, but a lot of them got destroyed.
47:20
That's what I thought. At least.
47:21
You guys wrong. Well, and who knows, there's,
47:24
there's a it's Resident Evil, right?
47:25
Like I'm, I get what you guys are saying.
47:26
I definitely agree because I mean, that's, that's immediately
47:29
where my mind went when I was playing through it and I saw
47:31
everything start to collapse. I'm like, well, there's like,
47:33
yeah, there's only like 8 there, you know.
47:36
So how does that I wonder if it's something that they do off
47:38
screen where you know, they're able to take it from Leon's
47:42
blood because he basically has that cure that's.
47:44
What I'm thinking? That's that's the most likely
47:47
explanation I could think of. I mean, because you have the, I
47:49
mean, that's even kind of implied with what Grace uses,
47:52
right? She has the blood analyzer.
47:54
So I'm sure you could probably just do that sort of thing.
47:59
But yeah, I mean, like I said, it's it's like a it's like a
48:03
pretty much perfect ending because all of those things end
48:06
well for everybody. And then there is a little shot
48:09
at the end in the post credits where two agents of some org
48:14
dispatch some BSA agents and say that they're going to receive,
48:18
retrieve the package or retrieve the objective before getting out
48:21
of there. And what?
48:22
The fuck did they pick up? I'm going to guess Zeno's body.
48:29
That's what I so I, I thought it was Zeno as well, because now
48:32
you can kind of extract whatever he's got going on in his body.
48:36
So my question is for the 10th game, because this is, I mean,
48:41
this is I think they're going to want to make it a big one,
48:42
right, Especially for it being the 10th 1:00 and it's the 30th
48:44
anniversary. So it's a great celebration for
48:47
them already with 9, but I think they're going to want to blow it
48:50
up even more with 10. I think that we're going to see
48:53
Chris, hopefully, I hope we see Chris more in a capacity in a in
48:59
more of it, but I don't know if I'd want to play as him.
49:04
I might just want to because I'm curious how you define him
49:08
differently than Leon now. Or if you just make basically 2
49:11
bad ass good guys, which I'm I'm fine with.
49:13
Then I don't mean that by changing Chris's story, but like
49:15
his gameplay. How is it going to be unique
49:20
right? I don't know if I want to play
49:21
Resident Evil game where I'm playing as Chris the whole time
49:23
because then that feels like a lot of action and not a lot of
49:26
horror. It's the same thing we talked
49:27
about before, right? I can't.
49:29
I can't picture Chris Redfield being scared.
49:32
You can't picture Jill Valentine, Claire.
49:35
Right. You can't.
49:36
Claire, Leon, I mean Gracie, at the end of this game, you can
49:40
still, I can still picture her being scared in the next game if
49:43
she's there like I could picture her being.
49:44
What is she going to do in the next game?
49:46
She she, she literally got everything she wanted at the end
49:48
of this. But she's very important.
49:51
She's like she, she's incredibly, I think, I mean,
49:54
that's actually kind of the interesting thing, right?
49:55
She's not, she doesn't have some sort of insane.
49:58
She's clearly very important. For ties to.
50:03
They're not like she's special, right?
50:06
But she's not. They only need her because she
50:09
knows the password. She doesn't have something.
50:12
They only needed her. Yeah.
50:13
They only needed her because she had urge.
50:16
They thought she would know the answer, and she did.
50:18
She ended up, you know, figuring it out.
50:22
But other than that, yeah, it's not like she has some crazy.
50:25
She doesn't have a blood, you know, she doesn't have something
50:29
in her blood that that makes her special or whatever, right?
50:31
She's just a clone from Umbrella.
50:33
That was like the first one or the perfect one type of thing.
50:36
Yeah, the one that they had no defects, she wasn't throwing
50:39
symptoms. Right, exactly so.
50:41
We'll see you, man. I don't know.
50:43
Yeah, I'm, I'm excited. I don't want to speculate too
50:46
much more, but yeah, we said it at the beginning.
50:49
It's a 10 out of 10 for me too. It gets a perfect rating.
50:51
I, I like even the things I I complain about, I complain about
50:54
in such a small capacity because it's just so it's so good in
50:57
every other way. I'm going to go back and play it
50:58
right now like it's just, it's, it's just that good.
51:03
I don't know. It's a great, it's a great start
51:06
to 2026 for a great single player game to be, to be coming
51:10
out like this. So I'm, I'm excited, I'm, I'm
51:12
hopeful for whatever, whatever else we have down the line this
51:15
year. Yeah, no, this is a great start
51:18
for single player games. This 10 out of 10.
51:21
This is a great experience. Loved it.
51:22
Go play Resident Evil 9 right now.
