Resident Evil Requiem Director Explains Viral “Messy Aim” in NHK Gameplay Footage
In the documentary on NHK, we can find that he controls the character so badly that it becomes a meme.
Resident Evil Requiem is a game that horror fans have been waiting for as a 30th anniversary celebration that takes us back to the events of the Great T Virus pandemic through a nextgen experience and a timeline that tells the story of the sequel through the eyes of a new protagonist. Although it is a big project, the team chose to wait for the news to surprise each other so that many people may not want to win anymore.
Recently, the game’s director, Koushi Nakanishi, also appeared in a special documentary for Japan’s NHK television channel. But it turns out that his shooting skills on display in the trailer seem unusually bad, especially the aim that seems to be shooting in different directions with the enemy intentionally, so that fans have used it as a meme like a ten-year-old child.
Recently, Mr. Koushi opened up through a short story. On his social media account, he and his team have already raised the issue and it makes players even more hilarious because he and his team didn’t actually aim for that, but it’s because NHK, Japan’s national television station, has a guideline not to show shooting gameplay or broadcast enemy headshots.
