I Played Resident Evil 9 Requiem at Summer Game Fest, and It's Extremely Messed Up

As a Video Producer at CNET, Sean has worked on more videos than he can count. He covers video games and video game hardware along with the occasional electric bike. He covers games both on and off camera, through livestreams, press events, and podcasts.

During this year's Summer Game Fest event, the kickoff showcase teased and then announced Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth installation in the mainline Resident Evil series. During the media-only Play Days events, members of the press were able to sit down to a guided presentation of the upcoming horror game. However, a very select few, myself included, got the opportunity to go hands-on with the demo and fight for our lives. Unlike the run-and-gun horror of Resident Evil Village, Capcom's next entry in the franchise feels like it's going for the slow and vulnerable terror of Resident Evil 7.
