Is this ...a seperate universe or a sequel to the first game?

And why do companys call a game 2 with no returning characters??


Is this gonna be like life is strange 2 with no regard to the first game?

Because theme is enough to have a solid connection. Take the Far Cry games for an instance. Elder Scrolls as well.

So many franchises don't have returning characters; Far Cry, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Silent Hill... why does it matter that much?

Somewhat of the same engine, same overall design, same mechanics, and sometimes a similar story. Returning characters doesn't make a sequel.

Thx..... steam decided to go awall and have me un commented


Hope the game has a good story

It takes place in the same universe as the first game, but is probably not a sequel. If you dig a little, there's plenty of evidence linking the two games.

If its not a sequel should be called layer verse since it doesnt connect to the first game

[atpqual]

It does connect to the first game, and chronologically speaking is probably a sequel. It's also possible that there's some time overlap between the two games, it's hard to tell since the overarching storyline is pretty cryptic.

You clearly haven't experienced many sequels - be they games, movies, etc - in your time on this Earth. (And fair enough, I guess.)

We don't know much about marketing, do we? And money?

Dude. Resident Evil VII? Saved the franchise with new characters. Layers of Fear 2 because it is a sequel, a telling of the next part of the story.

Layer verse is a ridiculous name. This isn't some kind of AU. It is a direct sequel, hence the name. And this person is absolutely correct about marketing. If you have success with a game, then make a sequel, it only makes sense to call it Layers of Fear 2. One, marketing. People already know the name. Promotion is much more effective. You confuse everyone if you change up things like that. That's why they changed the name TO Layers of Fear 2 rather than what it was called (wasn't it French or Polish or something?)

These are called franchises, or series, or several other terms. Would it make sense to call RE Resident Verse? No. That would be the dumbest move Capcom could make.

Why? Wasn't the DLC enough for you? You really wanted another game about a PAINTER?! I find that very bizarre...

Haha, okay.

How many different "riffs" on the whole "spooky painting" motif do you think they can do before people start moaning that "this is getting old, we've seen this before"? I think they 100% did the right thing choosing acting/filmmaking as the artistic mediums to explore this time around. There's only so much you can do with the one premise.
