omg, you guys, have you heard about the crazy similarity between resident evil requiem and lord of the rings? like, i'm talking about that super iconic scene where frodo meets shelob, the giant spider, in return of the king. it's literally one of the creepiest moments in movie history, and now it seems like capcom might have, uh, "borrowed" the idea for one of the boss fights in resident evil requiem.

so, apparently, there's this one part in the game where leon s. kennedy is sneaking around raccoon city, and out of nowhere, this huge spider bioweapon thingy appears, just like shelob did in lord of the rings. and i'm not talking about just a vague similarity - we're talking shot-for-shot, people. it's like the developers at capcom were huge fans of the movie and decided to pay homage, or maybe they just really loved the idea of scaring players with giant spiders (which, tbh, is a pretty solid choice).

i have to admit, as an arachnophobe myself, this kind of freaks me out. i mean, i love resident evil and all, but spiders are just not my thing. still, i'm kinda curious to see how this whole thing plays out - was it a deliberate nod to lord of the rings, or just a weird coincidence? unfortunately, capcom isn't talking about it yet, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

preorders are available at major retailers, btw, if you're interested in checking out resident evil requiem for yourself. just be prepared for some serious spider-induced terror, lol. anyway, i'd love to hear your thoughts on this - have you noticedRead more: Full article on www.gamespot.com
