Progress Report
The prologue to my ultimate weapon showcase for Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 is completely finished! I’ve already begun the next step and started recording main inspection clips of the weapons which shall be done real soon. After that I’ll prep for enemy testing and get those clips eventually. Next progress report will be when the recording phase is complete!

Progress Report
After a month of gathering an insane amount of clips for character idle stances, I sought the help of an online friend to get some amazing extreme closeups of all the weapons, and wasted no time getting them too! Here are some samples to feast your eyes on. With these steps out of the way, enthusiasm has come back up and my next goal is to script out my prologue and record the visuals and voiceovers for it. This will then finally open the gate to the bulk recordings of weapon inspection and enemy tests.

Progress Report
I’m still gathering clips of all characters’ idle stance with all weapons in Resident Evil Outbreak File #2. To put in perspective just how tedious this task is, there are 46 weapons total and 8 characters. This means there will be 300+ clips of idle stances alone, just for 1-2 seconds of screen time each. The time and effort is also compounded by the fact that with each character, I have to travel to my chosen hubs within each scenario with the proper equipment. Considering End of the Road has the primary hub with the most weapons being inspected and it’s near the very end of the scenario, it is very grating and difficult to do more than one character in a single day, so some days I may get a single digit amount of clips. I can tell you this, no remaining game in the franchise is gonna get this level of tenacity for its ultimate weapon showcase. But then again, no other game has this amount of weapons AND amount of unique characters! SOMEONE PLEASE BUILD A TRAINER FOR THIS GAME!!!

Progress Report
Everything involving Outbreak File 2 weapon locations has been arranged and I will soon begin recording a plethora of small clips for extreme close-up angles and character idle stances. These areas pictured will be my scenario hubs for weapon inspection. None of them are perfect since this game doesn't separate the BGM and SFX volumes so ambience is prevalent, with the Flashback hub having full on music. Please let me know which one of these is your favorite, and the majority pick will be my primary hub where as many weapons will be inspected as possible.

Heads up fam! I will be taking another week off from Road to RE9uiem this Sunday. I noticed that I took my first break after five livestreams, and now it’s been another five so I figured to make it a pattern. Plus that last one with the Code: Veronica arc was longer than desired and plagued with technical issues, so it’s a good point to pause anyway.

In productive news, I’ve been steadily recording voiceovers for weapon location clips of Outbreak File 2. I’m working at a very comfortable pace and not fretting at all about a publish date cuz no matter what, I know just like File 1 it’ll turn out marvelous!

Production on my next ultimate weapon showcase has begun and has been underway. I started with the small amount of cutscenes in the game showing weapons in action, then I picked locations to record clips for and am almost done with that as of now. I have to tell you, while Outbreak File #2 does have some improvements that will alleviate select struggles I had with its predecessor, I don’t think it’ll balance out with the fact that OB2 has 10 more weapons than OB1, and that I’m going into this with residual exhaustion from the last showcase. It certainly doesn’t help being a carbon-copy game of its predecessor despite some additional QOL mechanics. So, as I’m sure most of you already are prepared, this will probably be just as long of a production process as the last if not longer. At least we have the Road to RE9uiem livestream series to enjoy in the meantime, which I have been thoroughly. I do hope that I have this showcase finished before Resident Evil Requiem releases, cuz that’ll become priority number 1 afterwards.

Apologies fam for leading you on, but at this point I've lost all motivation to make anything on the Gamescom gameplay trailer and footage of Resident Evil Requiem. I've already seen it all so there's nothing for me to "react" to, and I thought I could make some sort of breakdown and discussion video instead, but it's just not my forte and would feel like a forced chore. I can at least tell you my key takeaways here in this post. I love that we'll have the choice of both first-person and third-person gameplay. Alyssa Ashcroft looks absolutely amazing in RE-Engine and seems to have simmered down her flaming personality. As for the revealed monster, it looks to me like Lisa Trevor and the Baby from Village merged. As for my thoughts on the circulating speculations of who it could be, I'd really hate it if it turned out to be Alyssa mutated. Another speculation is Lisa Trevor, though I find it hard to believe she could've survived the Mansion and lasted nearly 30 years, at least without much more mutation. So I'm on the belief that it's neither and is an unnamed victim of bioterrorism. Feel free to ask me any questions about what I've said here or any other things surrounding these revealed elements.

So here’s the deal, I’m fairly booked all the way up to the end of this weekend with both personal and productive plans. If the official RE channel drops copies of the recent RE9 gameplay videos within that timespan, it’ll be tough to get a reaction video out in a timely manner. If not, then after I’m done streaming for Road to RE9uiem this weekend, I’ll compile some highlights of what has been released by other outlets and creators as of late and make something of it. I totally botched the opportunity to make a genuine reaction vid when it was fresh days ago cuz I clung so hard to the expectation of the RE channel dropping something immediately, but also cuz production of the next ultimate weapon showcase has gotten a light start and is hogging my productive mind.

So we got some gameplay footage of RE9 circulating from Gamescom. I am scheming to make a reaction video eventually, but I’m waiting to see if the official Resident Evil YouTube channel puts out anything in the next few days.
