Resident Evil 8 Off-Screen Gameplay Demo Hints At An Opening Similar To Resident Evil 4

Capcom recently held a gameplay demonstration of Resident Evil 8, also known as Resident Evil Village, and revealed some new information on the game.

Inject me.

We are currently out of the T virus, but we have plenty of covid. (;

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I wanted T Virus, but all I got was this shitty covid, worst world ending apocalypse ever!

[PaleMoonDeath]

With REsi 4 being remade.. that's not very clever. We'll see

[-Foxtrot]

I don’t get it either

Why remake RE4 then give us a new RE game which seems to be latching off RE4

This is why I don’t understand why they aren’t remaking Code Veronica first

[Eamon]

I believe the answer is $.

High praises for RE2make and very successful sales numbers. Capcom see the RE2make development formula as a potential for financial success. Thus why RE4make seems inevitable.

I do agree that Code Veronica is much more deserving and needing of a remake. RE4 still stands the test of time till today. And it's already a third person shooter survival horror game. RE2, RE3 and CV were not third person shooters and so make much more sense.

My theory is Capcom's vision for the RE franchise is to continue the traditional 3rd-p survival horror with remakes (RE4 and possibly CV) while releasing new numbered games as 1st-p survival horror (RE8 village).

What's not very clever?

[PaleMoonDeath]

Rehashing the intro to RE4.. when an RE4 remake is in development, sounds like bankrupt ideas to me.

Re 4 2.0 i see

[mrsolidsteel20]

Interesting, I can’t wait.

[CrimsonWing69]

So, reading the enemies dropping items and lots of action makes me feel it ain’t going to be like 7 in the sense that it basically brought back the classic RE gameplay to a modern RE title.

I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt until I play it, but after RE7 and RE2’s success you’d figure they’d want to stay with the classic design. Maybe it’ll be a perfect blend of the action oriented and survival horror gameplay?

[Nacho_Z]

If they can make a game with the classic gameplay of the series with the atmosphere of Resi 7 and a big world with loads of emphasis on exploration then we'll be laughing. It seems like that's what they're going for.

[Omegasyde]

I am hoping for a PSVR version

[generic-user-name]

Me too but I don't like how they haven't said a word about it yet.

[SullysCigar]

There was a rumour in May that this will only be revealed "when Sony is ready", so there's speculation that it will be PSVR exclusive like RE7 was.

With the boost provided by PS5, this could be a huge boon for PSVR.

[Neonridr]

@SullyCigar - that sucks, I'd much rather be able to play it on my Index should I choose to do so (over my PSVR). But money talks, so if it happens again, it happens again.

[MightyHealthy]

did part 7 come to pc vr yet

[Neonridr]

nope, Capcom never bothered to make the VR port available on PC.

[sourOG]

I love it.

When is Capcom going to finally remake Code Veronica?
