“Resident Evil Requiem” (Resident Evil 9: Requiem) recently discovered an interesting detail by players – Leon (Leon) cannot shoot the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT he is riding in, and even raising the gun within a certain distance will be restricted by the game! Many players speculate that this is related to the cooperation agreement between Capcom and Porsche. When real-life brands appear in games, they often come with restrictions on their use, especially to avoid excessive disruption or negative presentation. It would be crazy for car manufacturers to let their products be turned into honeycombs in the game!
In “Cyberpunk 2077”: Porsche still forms a honeycomb
Interestingly, this isn’t the same approach for all games. In “Cyberpunk 2077”, Johnny Silverhand’s hidden Porsche 911 Turbo can be shot and destroyed by players at will, showing that the terms of different cooperation projects may differ. In other words, it’s not that Porsche is not allowed to destroy everything, but it depends on the level of negotiation between the two parties and whether the money is high!
Therefore, this restriction in Resident Evil Requiem is more of an exclusive condition than a technical issue. After all, from an engine and gameplay perspective, it is not difficult to let characters shoot at vehicles.
Leon’s vehicle curse finally works this time?
What makes players even more amused is that this protection mechanism falls on Leon. As long-time fans of the series know, the vehicles Lyon has taken in the past are almost immune to explosions or crashes, from planes to trucks. This time, the official suddenly “treats the car gently”, which is quite a contrast!
Even in the joint promotional video, Porsche even put up the slogan “We believe in Lyon”, as if the official was also playing tricks. At least for now, it seems that this Cayenne Turbo GT is the safest thing in the world of “Resident Evil Requiem”!
