Resident Evil Village is a first-person survival horror game and the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The game maintains elements from previous Resident Evil games, with players having to scavenge environments for items and manage their resources. However, it adds more action-oriented gameplay, with higher enemy counts and a greater emphasis on combat.

I thought I might be man enough to at least play through the demo, but the moment that witch stood in front of me I pretty much had no idea what to do. When she bites you in this graphically advanced villa, your controller starts to vibrate at 100% and that felt so disgusting and scary in conjuction with the 3D audio that I had to ragequit and uninstall this demo immediately. But I can't wait to watch PewDiePie play it.

That 3D audio is really, really awesome though. I'm happy it's finally being used on the PS5, and horror is the perfect genre for it. Playing this game with headphones will be a must in order to get the real experience. The sound is much, much scarier than anything you see.

Everyone is still talking about the tall lady but this is now already one of the coolest Resident Evil characters:

Resident Evil Village

Everything about this game looks so, so good so far. I like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre well enough too, Capcom, but THIS aesthetic is what I didn’t even know I wanted from one of these games.

I just don’t think Capcom has it in them to make truly scary games. Village looks to have a fantastic aesthetic, with great setting and atmosphere but there simply isn’t really anything scary about vampires. It sets the wrong tone for a Resident Evil game. It also appears, from the showcase, that Capcom is overly concerned with balancing things like combat, a big factor in what I think detracts from the horror aspect of their games. Resident Evil VII was terrifying for the first half, but the second half fizzled out and undid the fantastic work established up front. The moment you have a whole arsenal of weapons to mow down your enemies with is the moment that the game thwarts its own attempts at horror.

It also almost seems that Capcom is trying to make something that borders on being a Soulsborne. There’s a lot in this showcase that is reminiscent of the style and tone of Bloodborne. It even looks like it might mechanically play a bit like a first person Soulsborne. If that is the case I think it’s a misstep for the series.

Or maybe I want Resident Evil to be something it truly isn’t anymore. I want something that recaptures the thrill and terror I felt playing the original. Or the first half of Resident Evil VII, with an emphasis on atmospheric horror, good heart thumping scares and compelling puzzles rather than excessive action and combat.
