According to new rumours, Resident Evil 8 will come out subsequent yr. It’ll be in first-person, says serial leaker AestheticGamer, “and many purists are going to hate it” as a result of “it’s taking some serious departures [with] story/enemies and the like”.
If you consider the hearsay, it began life as Revelations 3, a extra experimental spin-off game, however testers preferred it a lot that builders Capcom determined to show it right into a full fledged entry in the principle sequence.
AestheticGamer has some credibility. They correctly said the Resident Evil 3 Remake was going to reach sooner than we thought, however elsewhere, Konami denied their claims about there being a number of Silent Hill games in improvement. Like zombies, this might be disappointingly imaginary. Or it might be deliciously actual, like zombie ants.
The hearsay mill’s been effervescent for some time now. This recent hearsay builds on earlier statements from AestheticGamer, in addition to other purported leakers. AestheticGamer does particularly point out that reviews of Ethan being a predominant protagonist, who in some unspecified time in the future goes wandering round a snowy werewolf-infest village, are “100% true”. It’s price noting that Ethan was the star of Resident Evil 7.
Apparently, “the game’s been given an additional year in the oven to convert itself to RE8”, which includes “big changes to the story, characters, etc”. The Revelation sequence does already embrace characters from the principle games, with Claire Redfield starring because the protagonist in Revelations 2. As for what adjustments may be deemed vital to show this into a correct entry, who is aware of.
AestheticGamer additionally mentions that “hallucinations, occultism, insanity and not being able to trust others are huge thematics” of Resident Evil 8.
Adam Smith (RPS in peace) acquired on properly with first-person in Resident Evil 7. “It lends the horror a much greater immediacy than the camera angles of 1-3 and over-the-shoulder action cam of 4-6 could ever hope for”, he mentioned in his Resident Evil 7 review, which yeah, is sensible. I do know I’m a lot simpler to spook after I’m not watching a digital backside that jogs my memory I’m controlling a personality in a video game.
If you are feeling otherwise, that’s cool. You can nonetheless tuck into the current Resident Evil Three remake, as our Nate did in his Resident Evil 3 review: “Fearwise, RE3 is pitched just right. There are some jump scares, sure. But this isn’t a game designed for exhaustingly energetic YouTube men to shriek at. Most of the horror, as is good and right, comes from a sense of dread, and the sense of constantly being under threat.”
AestheticGamer reckons Resident Evil 8 “should be revealed in the next few months”. Could be, might be.
