The return of Capcom's saga places us in a world that reacts to every step. Here, exploration is not a mere formality between missions, but the true driving force of the game. The pawn system, those AI-controlled companions, generates encounters that break any preconceived plan. No two journeys are the same, and that keeps the tension constant.
Pawn AI and the chain reaction engine 🎲
Pawn behavior is based on a contextual learning system. Every action, from dodging a griffin to crossing a bridge, is recorded and affects future decisions. The RE Engine manages creature physics and the impact of spells, creating chain reactions. A simple fire can spiral out of control, drag enemies, or block paths. There is no script, only variables colliding with each other.
When your pawn decides it's better to explore a cliff 🧗
Because yes, your faithful companion might see a glimmer at the edge of a precipice and leap into the void as if it were a leap of faith. Then it's up to you to decide whether to follow or leave them with their new goblin friends at the bottom of the ravine. The AI is smart, but it has its moments of suicidal inspiration. Of course, no one said loyalty was synonymous with common sense.
