Yes, this IS Resident Evil 9. The aesthetic looks cool, but surprisingly serious for a RE game.

Finally. The wait between these games is never not painful.
It’s going to get to the point where you might not live long enough to see the next installment of a series. Kinda scary to think about.
Conceptually it could be fun. Although I feel the (ridiculously expensive) fakeout all night meant we all thought this was Parasite Eve and RE9 is just a letdown after that.
Hopefully she becomes a MC real fast because I apparently have visceral reactions to the trope of “barely functional analyst girl”. At best it is annoying. More commonly it is thinly veiled misogyny and fetish bullshit.
I’m down. Recent RE games have been a very fun time.
The more time passes the more 5 and 6 begin to seem like temporary missteps.

I just wanna say me and a buddy played through 5 in co-op and had a great time. Chris Redfield can explode a fucking boulder with his fists and it’s great.
Oh we did the same.
5 and 6 are a BLAST with a buddy. Throughout 5, we kept randomly asking each other, “oh hey, this is a horror game, right” as the latest ridiculous action bullshit was happening on-screen, and laughing our asses off.
In 6 in particular, in Ada’s campaign, she is alone… But since everything had to support co-op, for her missions a character called “agent” shows up. He’s just a faceless soldier for player 2 to play as, and every time he disappeared for the duration of a cutscene, and re-appeared for gamplay, it absolutely destroyed us.
Stuff like Ada clearly going through a door, alone, but then him somehow showing up on the other side the second the animation is over, happens CONSTANTLY.
We had this whole head-canon about how he’s an Ada simp that’s always there, just out of frame, and invisible to all the characters. A mysterius man even more unexplained than Ada.
They’re absolutely atrocious RE games, but some of the best fun you can have with a friend.
Agent is a huge meme for my friend group for pretty much the exact same reasons Lol.
Hell yeah!
I absolutely love when games do that. Just a random, faceless dude for the second player that isn’t acknowledged at all by the plot. My favorite coop games growing up were all like that.
It’s especially funny in RE6, because it contrasts with how all the other campaigns had playable, in-universe, part-of-the-story characters for player 2 to control. To the point that playing single player they’re still there as dumb NPCs.
And then when Ada is supposed to be solo, everything feels funnier with the bolted-on co-op.
