The insider Dusk Golem, who is (sorta) reliable when it comes to Resident Evil and Silent Hill, has stated via his that Resident Evil 9 will have open-world elements, although he didn't say much.

(1/2) So here's a little tidbit I'll share, Capcom often will greenlight new initiatives in 3's closer together. Decent examples are RE7, RE:2 & DMCV were all Greenlit fairly close together to take advantage of their new RE Engine, & the idea to remake RE:2 inspired them to also
(2/2) take on RE:3 & RE:4 for a remake initiative. Dragons Dogma 2 expanded RE Engine functionality for open world games, the two other games building on this tech is Monster Hunter Wild & Resident Evil 9.

In short, Capcom usually has a plan to use new ideas in two or three games released close together, and in this example it used the games in the Resident Evil franchise, and added the recently released Dragon's Dogma 2, which is open-world.

Just please don’t make another first person RE

 

[LordCBH]

MH should be fine. It I don’t see how RE will benefit at all from an open world.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

 

[Lokaum D+]

please dont make another third person RE

 

[MagiusNecros]

Just please don’t make another first person RE

please dont make another third person RE

Alright 2nd person it is.

 

[LordCBH]

Alright 2nd person it is.

4th person or GTFO

 

[XXL]

Please keep making RE in VR, I can't go back to playing RE without VR.

That would be a massive step back.

 

[KyoZz]

Let's hope performances aren't as shit as in DD2

 

[GymWolf]

For the love of rathalos, fix your damn engine before wilds is out, i don't wanna see another dogma2 situation again, especially for mh that is not gonna have a pc release so we are gonna be at the mercy of the console version.

 

[JaksGhost]

They need to fix the RE Engine so that it's capable of handling open worlds because DD2 is telling a different story.

 

[Wooxsvan]

Wilds should be good as long as it's not a Dragon Dogma 2 framrate

 

[Luipadre]

Open world resi... the fuck

 

[balls of snow]

Awesome.
Bring it.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

If RE9 is open world and/or has Sphere Hunter in it. I'm fucking done.

 

[hemo memo]

If they can pull it off for RE then it would be great. But how?

 

[RoadHazard]

MH should obviously be open world.

Open world RE I'm having a hard time to imagine.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

They need to fix the RE Engine so that it's capable of handling open worlds because DD2 is telling a different story.

There’s basically no way RE9 will be more demanding of a game than DD2

 

[T4keD0wN]

especially for mh that is not gonna have a pc release so we are gonna be at the mercy of the console version.

What do you mean? MH Wilds has a steam page already...

 

[Caffeine]

are they going to run like shit too ?

 

[MagiusNecros]

4th person or GTFO

It's RE9. Clearly it'll be Ninth Person.

-------------

Open world Resident Evil already exists. It's called Dead Island series. So it'll probably be that but 3rd Person.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

RE9 open world...

 

[IAmRei]

RE with open world will be a weird take... for me. it is very weird, unless Capcom knows how to execute well.
I think i will open mind for the concept ...

But... if it works...

 

[lh032]

-first person open world
-rpg system leveling up system with HP and virus gauge system
-find and inject virus syringe to learn new abilities
-climb towers to unlock map area
-armor, weapon with loot level system.
-solve side quest around the world from NPC quest givers
-crafting system
-dynamic opt in coop system

etc....

I'm more concerned with Monster Hunter and the number of NPCs since that seems to be one of the reasons it's tanking the FPS in DD2.

havent try dead island, will try it then

 

[MagiusNecros]

Though honestly I'd rather they make an open world game in the Megaman franchise.

Maybe call it Megaman Legends 3?

 

[GymWolf]

What do you mean? MH Wilds has a steam page already...

Really? I thought they were just doing their thing to release the game on pc later to get money from the double dipper.

Let's hope they release the game the same days as the console version because no die hard mh fanboy is gonna be able to wait even 3 months...l(i know i can't ).

 

[Haint]

Imagine climbing Resident Evil radio/cell towers to fill the map with icon vomit.

 

[March Climber]

Honestly, I always felt that Resident Evil 5 was supposed to be open world based on how they originally described it, including the concept trailer.

Though honestly I'd rather they make an open world game in the Megaman franchise.

Maybe call it Megaman Legends 3?

I'm just happy they released the old MM games in collection titles.

Breath of Fire has been locked deep within the underground of the abyss. No one even remembers it's name anymore.

 

[JimmyRustler]

I was kinda expecting RE3 Remake to be more Open World. Not sure how they wanna make it work outside Racoon City. Could work well, could also go terribly wrong. We’ll see. I choose to be optimistic.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Breath of Fire has been locked deep within the underground of the abyss. No one even remembers it's name anymore.

Largely forgotten. Same deal with Demon's Crest and Darkstalkers. MvC doesn't count IMO.

It's like with Nintendo and F-Zero.

[Hudo]

Well, maybe Capcom will be the first who manage to marry open-world to good horror (they won't).

 

[Gudji]

Resident Evil about to become a ubisoft clone confirmed.

 

[DonF]

resident evil could be good as open world survival. but they need to do it better than all games before. I trust capcom right now.

 

[Jakk]

What the hell, why make RE open-world.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I eagerly await Resident Evil 14, a game that reinvents the boundaries of modern horror by throwing you into a blood and rust covered nightmare island where the only thing keeping humanity from extinction is Chris Redfield's crops of Green Herbs and resource gathering to build your own Haunted Mansion base, but be careful - you can only hold what you can carry, and must make frequent trips back to the Hideout to hit your item box. Be aware, too, you'll find yourself being stalked in the open plains while you farm by Classic Resident Evil Boss Monsters! Could be Lisa Trevor, could be Moira Burton, you might even have bad luck and run into One Dangerous Zombie on your travels to collect compost for the weed fields. Improved focus on melee fighting, with starting gear including sickle. 75 trophies. Mercenaries has been revised into a farmer's market Sim.

 

[hemo memo]

They want the Days Gone sales.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Open world > linear design case#54975.3

 

[Badlucktroll]

RE9 will prolly kill it!!! but how about a code veronica remake next!!!

 

[lh032]

oh and one more thing,

Maybe some typewriter ink ribbon microstransaction? 1.99 US dollar per ink ribbon

1.99 us dollar per ink ribbon
19.99 us dollar 40 ink ribbon (great deal!)
79.99 us dollars inf ink ribbon (best deal!)

You can loot ink ribbon from zombie corpses but it is a legendary drop (0.2% chances)

 

[rapid32.5]

Open World isn't going to work for an RE game; this isn't GTA; stick to survival horror.

 

[kiphalfton]

Open world is hardly ever the answer.

Maybe if devs could focus on what matters... but inevitably they waste 90% of their resources on modeling the world and then very little effort goes into missions.

But hey, I guess if you want a padded out/bloated RE game then sure whatever.

 

[R6Rider]

An odd choice for RE.

Wilds it at least makes some sense.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I think if RE9 ends up being shall we say a TPS Metroidvania kind of game I'd be all for it. Hopefully with RE1 atmosphere. That would be great instead of corridor shooter with easy puzzles.

I see lots of companies say Open World and not understand what Open World means.

 

[sendit]

-first person open world

Sounds like my type of game.

 

[Caffeine]

so basically dying light just slap resident evil on it with bioweapon monsters replacing some enemies.

 

[Spukc]

Just please don’t make another first person RE

dude
