The most exciting gameplay feature of Resident Evil Requiem is arguably the option to switch camera perspectives. Yes, players will be able to delve into Requiem into both first-person and third-person perspective.
Being a horror-survival title, first-person perspective is an immersive way to play the game. On the other hand, third-person perspective offers unreal freedom about the in-game environment.
Another intricate gameplay feature of this title is the classic horror-survival mechanics. For example, players will start off the game as vulnerable characters who are untrained in combat, and later on will learn to deal with the external affairs.
Resident Evil Requiem Protagonist

Capcom has already confirmed that Grace Ashcroft is going to be the main protagonist of the game. Now, this surname might intrigue the OG Resident Evil player, because Grace is actually the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, who was one of the main characters of Resident Evil Outbreak, which was released over two decades ago.
Also there are rumors and speculations all around the internet that there will be another protagonist in the game along with Grace.

However, Capcom is yet to officially reveal the identity of this second protagonist.
Resident Evil Requiem storyline

Keeping in mind the complications of the whole Resident Evil franchise storyline with so many spin-offs and remakes, it's pretty hard to predict the whole plot of Requiem. But as per the confirmed storyline so far, players will fill in the shoes of Grace, who will embark upon his horrifying journey of investigating her mother, Alyssa's murder at the Wrenwood Hotel.
It is also known that some of the storyline is set in the backdrop of Raccoon City. So, it can easily be said that Requiem is going to take players back to 2003 when it all started in Outbreak.
Resident Evil pre-order details

Despite so many details being revealed by Capcom including the exact release date, the pre-order date is yet to be announced by Capcom. As the game has just been announced recently, players might need to be patient for a bit longer as we are still about eight months far from the game's release.

When Danny Boyle and Alex Garland redefined Zombies with Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later
'28 Days Later' brought a horrific genre back: the zombies. The movie was two decades ago and starred Cillian Murphy as Jim, who was a bicycle courier guy. He discovers that he is among the survivors of an incurable virus that has wiped out the U.K. after he wakes up from a coma. How did the idea come to reinvent the genre? Garland was a fan of George Romero's 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' when he was young. The idea was pitched when he was getting pizza with Andrew Macdonald about the running zombies in London. Garland tells 'THR' that 'There were five drafts where it was just me working with Andrew, and then eventually Andrew said, 'OK, now I'm going to show this to Danny.'' The writer has said that fast-moving zombie dogs in the 1996 video game 'Resident Evil' were a disclosure: 'That's the thing that gave the idea of a zombie movie, but where the zombies move quickly.' Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, and Christopher Eccleston rounded out the cast for the film that got released theatrically on June 27, 2003. It collected 74 million dollars globally at that time, and a 'THR' story about its legacy noted that the project 'uses the idea of these living dead to explore the collapse of society.' Producer credits Danny Boyle , the director, and Alex Garland , the screenwriter, only had producer credits on the 2007 sequel of '28 Weeks Later,' but the June 20 follow-up of '28 Years Later' sees the return of Boyle as director and Garland as writer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Over the years, Boyle has attended anniversary screenings for '28 Days Later' and informed Garland when they're packed with fans. 'I think it's the idea and the manner with which we did it,' Boyle has said about the first movie's appeal. 'That led us to think, 'Could we actually investigate this further?'' The OG cast The sci-fi thriller had Cillian Murphy as Jim, Naomie Harris as Selena, Brendan Gleeson as Frank, Megan Burns as Hannah, Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West, Noah Huntley as Mark, Stuart McQuarrie as Sergeant Farrell, Ricci Harnett as Corporal Mitchell, Leo Bill as Private Jones, Luke Mably as Private Clifton, Junior Laniyan as Private Bell, Ray Panthaki as Private Bedford, Sanjay Rambaruth as Private Davis and Marvin Campbell as Private Mailer. Additionally, Alex Palmer, Bindu De Stoppani, and Jukka Hiltunen portray the animal liberation activists, while David Schneider portrays a scientist at the laboratory. Christopher Dunne and Emma Hitching appear as Jim's parents, and Toby Sedgwick plays an infected priest encountered by Jim.

Grace Antony: I am not a heroine material
It is not every day that director Ram comes up with a feel-good comedy. But that's exactly the genre he has attempted in his next, Paranthu Po, headlined by Shiva and Malayalam actor Grace Antony. Paranthu Po marks Grace's debut in Tamil after making quite a mark in Malayalam with films like Kumbalangi Nights, Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham, Rorschach, Nunakkuzhi, and Appan. 'Ram sir chose me seeing Appan' Interestingly, Appan (2022), which explored a dysfunctional father-son relationship, was the reason why Ram thought Grace would be the apt choice for Paranthu Po, which explores a complex dad-son relationship with humour. "I have been getting Tamil offers for a few years now, but I wanted a solid launch here. That was when Nivin (Pauly) chettan, who was working with Ram sir in Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai, informed me that the director was interested in casting me in his next. Honestly, I wasn't familiar with his works. Then I watched Peranbu and his other films. Once he narrated the one-line, and then read through the five-page synopsis. I immediately accepted the film. Ram sir was kind and also keen that I understand the character and situations, so he took the help of a Malayalam translator to translate all my dialogues." 'I am a Vijay fan' While Tamil cinema industry night have been new for Grace, the language was not a barrier since she has been an avid fan of Tamil movies since childhood. "I have grown up watching Tamil films, and I have been a fan of Vijay sir since my school days, so being in a Tamil film wasn't really a culture shock for me. However, the scheduling of shoots varies in both industries. Back in Kerala, a 30-day shoot wraps up in 28 days; here it extends. I do not mean it as a complaint. Paranthu Po unfolds in different terrains, so I feel the extension is justified. But since this is my first Tamil film, it struck me as a bit odd. But the shoot process was fun nonetheless." 'Paranthu Po was a rewarding experience' Grace describes her debut film as nothing short of an adventure that pushed her limits and enabled her to become a better actor. "We shot in Coimbatore and Palakkad mostly. My character had to both scale mountains and swim around in lakes. Since some of the sites we shot were frequented by wild animals, there were time restrictions and we had to shoot at breakneck speed. I also suffered injuries during the shoot to the point of requiring surgery. In the end, it was all rewarding, as Ram sir appreciated my acting and asked me if he could write more scenes for me than planned." 'Shiva compensated my social anxiety' Grace confesses she is a socially anxious person and finds it hard to open up to new people. But that was not a problem in Paranthu Po, thanks to her co-star, the convivial Shiva. Calling him an extroverted classmate who would do anything to have fun in the classroom, Grace says, "To my advantage, I magically lose inhibitions in front of a camera. But on the sets, it was Shiva who kept us entertained. There were days when he wanted to leave early, and he just went to Ram sir and made me the scapegoat. Also, since it was a rather compact set with limited actors, socialising wasn't a requirement." 'I am not a heroine material' Grace, who is confident about her strengths in comedy, has no qualms admitting that she might not suit the typical heroine roles in our films. She is also smart enough to point out that longevity as an actor is much more valuable than a glittery but short career. "I want to act even when I am old and frail. I know my strengths and limitations. So I am more keen on working on character and comedy roles. Also, thankfully, Malayalam cinema's idea of a heroine has not been reduced to a mere glam doll yet, so the differentiation between a heroine and a female "character" role is not too much."

'FIRE DEF REBEL!': 4 WWE entrance themes that fans agree missed the mark
Image via WWE WWE fans made their voices heard loud and clear on this week's episode of NXT, chanting 'Fire Def Rebel' after Jordynne Grace walked out to a newly composed entrance theme. While Grace went on to win her match and qualify for the #1 Contender's Fatal Four-Way, the reaction to her entrance music sparked fresh outrage online - with many fans slamming WWE's long-time music group, Def Rebel, for what they call a growing list of 'misses. ' Here are four WWE entrance themes that fans believe failed to deliver the hype: 1. Jordynne Grace - NXT (2025) — FadeAwayMedia (@FadeAwayMedia) The most recent example came on June 17 during NXT, when Jordynne Grace debuted a new entrance track ahead of her match against Lola Vice. While Grace's performance inside the ring was praised, her new theme left fans confused - and, frankly, irritated. The chants of 'Fire Def Rebel!' echoed through the Performance Center, with social media echoing the sentiment. Many pointed out the disconnect between the high-impact persona of 'Big Momma Pump' and the low-energy, generic track she was assigned. 2. Keith Lee - RAW (2020) When Keith Lee moved up to the main roster in 2020, fans were thrilled - until they heard his new music. Gone was the bombastic, self-rapped anthem that helped define his NXT run. Replaced with a softer, heavily-produced track by Def Rebel, the change drew heavy backlash. WWE eventually tweaked the theme, but many still feel it never recovered the original magic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Instead, fans were greeted with a bland, generic rock track that failed to reflect her energy. The mismatch between character and theme quickly made her music one of the most skipped tracks on WWE's official Spotify list. 4. Shayna Baszler - RAW (2021) Shayna Baszler once had a theme that perfectly matched her intimidating persona. But after Def Rebel reworked her entrance in 2021, fans noticed a glaring drop in impact. The slow-paced, drum-heavy remix stripped away the raw energy that had made her walkouts must-watch moments. While WWE often evolves its soundscape, the reaction to these misfires shows fans aren't afraid to speak out. Whether it leads to changes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the music matters just as much as the mayhem.
