It Is Time To Take A Little Tour Of Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil

A new making of video for Resident Evil Village has popped up out of the Tokyo Game Show to show how this will evolve the Resident Evil franchise

There were some promises that we would see something big for Resident Evil Village here out of the Tokyo Game Show and I have a feeling that is still yet to come. I say that as all we have here, for now, is a nice behind-the-scenes style video from Capcom taking us into the choices made for the game and less of the actual gameplay. Not a huge surprise as Resident Evil does thrive on us all-knowing less about what is to come in the game than showing it all off to us. Nonetheless, what we have for now is a developer interview that offers up a little more clarity on what is going on in the game based on the short video clips we have had already.

As I have mentioned in the past, this one picks up years after the events of Resident Evil 7 and puts us back in control of Ethan as he deals with some loss and the apparent betrayal of Chris after all this time. All of which transports him to the titular village we have seen where he will need to explore and survive to figure out just what is going on here. It will be detailed out in a fun storybook format to keep things together, but do not mistake that as we will not be right in the horror of Resident Evil in an FPS format again. Something that can truly drive some of the fears home. More so if they do opt to give us a VR format to go along with all of this too.

Speaking of, it has also been talked about the PS4 and Xbox One getting a release of Resident Evil Village too. Nothing is set in stone as of yet, but it is something that the team would like to do if it is at all possible. Given that this one is being developed for these next-gen systems specifically, I would think it might be a little difficult and not truly worth it to step backward, but they do want to get as much of that Resident Evil that they can, so do not count that out as of yet. You can now have a look at the video I mentioned above and see the little bits we have out of the show thus far.

Resident Evil Village — Welcome To The Village

Join Resident Evil Village Director Morimasa Sato, Art Director Tomonori Takano, and Producer Peter Fabiano as they discuss how they’re depicting the concept of fear to realize survival horror as it’s never been seen before in the upcoming eighth installment of the legendary Resident Evil series.

Were you expecting more for Resident Evil Village out of all of this so far or will that come as everything progresses over the weekend? Do you think it will be a nice touch to give some of the exposition in the creepy storybook manner or will that detract from some of the grounded nature these titles have moved to? Do you think we will ever see this one on the PS4 and Xbox One or is that a pipedream for those waiting a year before getting into the new systems? Let us have all of those thoughts and feelings in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. When there is more to share for Resident Evil Village, you know we will have it all here. Just keep checking back for all of that and more.
