The one with the pouches is what he's wearing under his new coat. If you zoom in on the renders you can tell. He's got that shit under it. I guess his main sidearm is that giant Russian rifle round using revolver.
Fuck man, this hits hard. Dude was pure talent.
So you remember the reveal as "Hell yeah, we get to play as Leon! Also, the game looks nice."
Leon was great as the goodie two shoes with a golden heart in the OG RE2 sure, but nobody really gave that much of a fuck about him compared to Jill and Chris until after RE4. Sure he had his fans before RE4, but his popularity exploded after RE4, not before. I remember Jill having the most fans early on followed by Chris and Claire. Leon was above Barry and Rebecca mind you, but Barry was always more of a meme and Rebecca had more haters than fans. RE4 is what made Leon the fan favorite. Also, notice how in RE2 he was a goodie two shoes, he hasn't been that since RE4, they even completely changed his character in the Remake of 2 to be more wisecracking and less trustworthy, it's clear RE2 isn't what made him popular when every film, game and cutsey anime ad campaign has made him perform like RE4 instead of the OG RE2.
Absolutely. I think they're some of the best in the series and I'd recommend them over any new RE game today. Yes it's tank controls.
I'm still waiting for him to decapitate himself. Very dishonorabur he didn't.
Leon in Re2 game dialogue he seemed like a goody two shoes because of the bad acting and dialogue, but canonically he was an alcoholic who had to leave his department due to some unsavory police work iirc.
This is the first time im hearing that. Whats your source?
its well known Leon is an Alcoholic, and has tried, successfully to stay sober for years after the Racoon city incident, but got on the sauce again during that one movie.
He was drunk due to his girlfriend breaking up with him. Calling it bad acting and dialogue because a sad guy was sad and did a sad guy thing is retarded. Yeah, the 21 year old who had a bad night was depressed and took a day off. Yes it led to the events of the game. But also, he's such a heartthrob in the og 2 because of this as well. The reason he is so easy to trust people is because he desires connection after losing his girlfriend. He also didn't have to leave his old department. RE2 was canonically his "first day on the force. In the magical year of 1998 I'll never forget it... It was the year those grizzly murders happened in the Arklay mountains." Prior to that he was only a member of the police academy. Again, he got drunk because his girlfriend left him and he was depressed. Then when he came in and also met Claire he tried to feel more positive. RE1 is the only game with bad dialogue from the main cast. RE2, 3 and Code Veronica all left the retarded shit to npcs like Kendo.
It's well known, and referenced here and there if you looks in the right places (instruction manual and some notes). Plus it's referenced a lot in the movies. However he wasn't technically an alcoholic in 2, he didn't start drinking until his girlfriend broke up with him a week before he joined the force. Which was after he graduated the academy and 6 days before his first day as an officer.
Yeah, after the incident. He says he was an alcoholic before that.
well, he IS Irish.
I Didn't say the dialogue and acting is bad because Leon was sad. I like the backstory and story overall, I say the dialogue and acting is bad, (with resident evil 2 still being my favorite in the series) because it's objectively awkward and goofy. It's a step up from Re1 but come on.
Odd choice of a gun considering its size and rarity of ammunition in the West. Now if there's anything that needed either a 12.7x55mm or 9x39mm round its a BoW, but something in .44 Magnum since you can actually find those bullets outside of Russia would be a better choice.
I mean, if you nuked a city and one of the few survivors who walked away from that nuke was a rookie cop, first day on the job, who went straight into the heart of that city to confront ground zero of the outbreak, wouldn't you want to hire him to protect the president? Makes sense to me.
Leon always had weirdo guns, that isn't new either. More high caliber revolvers is never a bad thing.
not just that, Leon fought Birkin and all that other shit, he was recruited on the spot by that CIA Spook who would go on to become the President by RE6, he wasn't just the President's Top Guy, he was their go to BOW super trooper.
It's such a bastardized version of his original hair anyway. Shit looks fucking ridiculous.
