Resident Evil Requiem Hands-On – Survival horror vs. action

We recently went hands-on with a three-hour preview of Resident Evil Requiem. Senior Editor Wes Fenlon and Staff Writer Elie Gould share their impressions of the demo, including how frightening it felt, the balance between survival and action segments, the differences between first-person and third-person modes, and more.
All b-roll footage shown is provided by Capcom, as direct capture was not permitted.
