Capcom's official live-action short film trailer for Resident Evil 9 Requiem, starring Maika Monroe and set during the Raccoon City outbreak

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Maika
my waifu

 

[Zacfoldor]

Me seeing this:

What I think: Get the president on the line. We need Leon, now!

 

[Sticks]

The only good thing out of the live action RE shit is the Marilyn Manson theme

 

[GrayDock]

Awesome short.
And why is so dificult to make a series/movie with this simple template: copy the game in the movie...

That was a pretty damn good trailer.

Unfortunately the tone of the game will be nothing like that, especially when Leon Motherfuckin' Kennedy shows up.

Even better:

Imagine filming a short live-action trailer that beats a multi-million dollar production.

[Memati187]

especially when Leon aSs fuckin' Kennedy shows up.

Little correction there

 

[adamsapple]

Exactly.

Capcom did a Dead Island, lol.

I expect the scenes involving Grace and Alyssa to at least partially match this tone. But that's gonna be almost like a different game than the Leon sections.

Nice video. I hope there is a hint of lore and story to some of the zombies, even to why even if in there zombie state, they have activities and react that way in the game.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Great short.

Awesome short.

Because Paul Anderson wanted Action movies. Resident Evil should've had proper balance between slow horror and action in bursts.

Well, the writer and director of Barbarian and Weapons has his Resident Evil film coming out this year.

i never understand why people think these live-action like this look fun, but seemlike western market love those, and they also love to turn any kind of media to live-action althought, i am prefer CGI more, especially nowaday they can mo-cap real people into CGI

Cause they're fun.

That was great and fun to see. We haven't had a live action teaser/trailer in a long while. They definitely feel nostalgic, but it's nice to see new efforts for a change. Too many AAA studios have gotten too comfortable with marketing and their games these days. I miss the days of awesome and elaborate collector's editions, cool ads/trailers and overall marketing. Hell, even cool collabs and stuff. I'm pretty hyped for Requiem, I hope it sticks its landing. I just want a good/great game, but if I enjoyed it more than RE7/8, I'd be so hyped.

 

[Gonzito]

Very well done

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I personally prefer Live Inaction trailers where actors dressed as my favorite Resident Evil characters take naps.

 

[semiconscious]

capcom continues to set the example for how to properly respect & preserve a venerable video game franchise...

 

[Roman Empire]

These do nothing for us. TV spots like these are made to attract the normies, and surprisingly, they do wonders.

It just a fun trailer and as someone who's already sold on this game I rather have this type of trailer than other trailers that's full of spoilers.

 

[Dutchy]

mourning zombie's lmao

 

[nani17]

One of my favourite live action

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

I hate this live action shit trend for ads....noone wants this junk. The game should and will speak for itself with in game assets instead.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

The message Capcom has been building up to all these years is humanizing the infected and vilifying Umbrella. We'll see for ourselves soon, but I think part of the horror they're going for is psychological - there will be enemies you don't want to kill (but will remain dangerous).

Shooting the humanity out of zombies, one headshot at a time.

You may be on to something. Looking forward to the low kill achievement

Nemesis is back?

Good eye. Probably not back though, especially as it's the inferior remake timeline

 

[poodaddy]

That was well made and all, but I just can't take the serious tone stuff with Resident Evil for some reason. It's such a schlocky series that this kind of hard edged, moody approach always comes off laughable when you consider how nonsensical and silly the games and the stories ultimately are.

Good short though.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If we have any Raccoon CIty sections I expect we will either find the girl's grave or she mutated.

 

[skneogaf]

Curious to know if anyone thought this was bad?

I thought it was great. I'd watch a movie like this, it kind of gave me the last of us vibes at the beginning of that game which isn't bad.

Good stuff.

 

[Jesb]

Well that was a dark end. I don't expect them to paint a dark picture of Alyssa and Grace like this though.

 

[ToneyJ]

Cause they're fun.

yea we need more of this. This is awesome. The trailer in the OP is a downer and dosent really fit the Resident Evil vibes at all. Its more TLOU.

 

[consoul]

Nice.

How is it that the best live action Resident Evil we get is a short ad for RE9?

Anyone else notice the red herb in their apartment?

 

[Cancer]

That was (suprisingly) good! Well done to the writer and director.

 

[Bark]

God, don't make me watch the movie now

 

[Stafford]

This is great, that ending especially. See, this is what I want from a RE movie but instead we have been getting those terrible, cheesy and trash ass movies. Excluding some of the CGI ones I guess.
