That would be detriment to everything that is Resident Evil. RE as a horror experience needs to be very curated, which is generally not possible with an open world game.
The curated formula isn’t working anymore, I’m not surprised they’re changing it up. I was honestly not aware there was even a resident evil 8
You don’t remember all the vampire mommy memes?
The series names are all over the place, up till 6 they were numbering them. When I read “resident evil:…” I assume it’s a side game, so I thought village was a spin-off or something
If it’s got terrific level design like Elden Ring, that would be great. If it’s just random geography and templated buildings dropped every which way, I think I’d pass.
I always wonder if this kind of comment is serious. I played Elden ring for like 30 hours and stopped playing after being annoyed the last 10 hours at the complete lack of anything in that game. The world is ugly,boring and full of nothing, the story… After 30 hours I have no idea what that game was about. Anyways I hated Elden ring, one of the worst games I’ve ever played. I’m not really a casual gamer, I’ve played pretty much most games on ps4 but had never tried a souls game, didn’t even know it was the same series I just grabbed it cause it was GOTY. Maybe his a niche game but as a gamer who plays every type of game, I thought it was awful.
Knowing Capcom’s recent history with new titles, you can take a guess which (hint: fast travel as MTX involved)
RE8 was already not what I wanted, and this is far, far further in the direction of not what I wanted.
