It appears that the first details/rumours for Resident Evil 8 have surfaced online. Residence of Evil has leaked these first details and Nibel has acknowledged them, stating that this matches the stuff he’s been hearing.

Now as always, we suggest taking everything you are about to read with a grain of salt. The following information may be legit. Moreover, and since the game is in development, Capcom may change some things.
According to Residence of Evil, Resident Evil 8 will not be called… Resident Evil 8. Instead, Capcom will use another title for this game. However, this new RE game will be a continuation of Resident Evil 7 and will retain the first-person camera viewpoint.
According to the leak, Ethan from Resident Evil 7 will return. Chris Redfield will also return in some form. The game will have zombies (duh) and there will be some new types of enemies. One of them is a wolf-like creature/werewolf. Moreover, there will be a new stalker enemy type.
The game may have a village and a castle. Furthermore, there might be snowy and mountain areas/levels.
You can find the video containing this information below. Again, take everything you just read with a grain of salt. After all, Capcom has not officially announced Resident Evil 8 yet.

I’m an insider so trust me on this:
Resident Evil 8 is a sequel to Resident Evil 7
We just have to accept that this franchise is totally different from that one we used to play as kids, or 20 years in the past, for those who was already adults at that time.
re2 and re7 were pretty close. But hey if you really must absolutely have the old style there a ton of games like it even new ones made right now, just type prerendered background and tank controls and see what come up.
John’s already counting down the days for the first nude mod to arrive!
Nyah, it’s still a ways off. Resident Evil 3 Remake on the other hand though… 😛
HAND… OH BOIII
The “other hand” though… is busy lol
Both John hand will be “busy” playing the game with nude mods installed 😀
” Ethan from Resident Evil 7 will return. ”
Why? No one liked that character. Anyway my issue with 7 was the fact it had few enemies that you fought all over and while it was fps, it controlled more like a tank controls, eg you cant move until the shotgun has finished pumping after shooting. The whole “block attacks” was bs, you should be dodging them instead, how the fck you block a chainsaw? Especially in a game that you got your arm chopped off from a axe. Also it needed more nonlinear areas and puzzles like re2 remake.
Pretty much this.
RE2 Remake was a huge improvement over RE7, and now it looks like they’re walking back a lot of those improvements for RE8. This is disappointing.
i didnt like the level design of re7, just a brown black muddy mess with insects, needs more interesting environments than swamp and wood.
the tank-like controls were due to the implementation of VR, so was the first-person perspective. and the idea of Ethan as the main character was to bring a sense of intimacy and vulnerability to the protagonist so that the players could relate to him.
but I see your point
the remakes are great. it’s too bad the series has reached a convoluted state though.
Ffs, not this first person crap again…
I hate the other view so much its like you are playing from a security system lol. I could never play that way its just impossible to control and it’s not anywhere near as immersive i have no idea how people perfer that
For some reason people just love the other view where they can’t aim for $hit.
It’s like if they made GTA6 as a top down view i literary hate this camera system in the first resident evil game this much.
By that logic the OG series must be utter garbage then, except no, no it’s not.
I would never play it as the controls suck
Controls work fine for me. Controls in the REmake series also work fine for me on top of that.
I just never could get used to them hated it in the 90’s hate them just as much now. If anything maybe they can give users a choice
There is no choice, because the OG games were designed entirely around camera angles and the limitations of what was available tech wise back then.
This is why you saw them remaking Resi2 and now 3 with over the shoulder view angles instead, which adopts the action paced style of RE4. 7 has adopted a new angle, to which “rumours” are suggesting 8 will be adopting the same angle.
This is Capcom pulling the exact same tropes and moves like they did when they went from RE 1-Outbreak, then RE 4-6. ALl they are going to do is fragment the fanbase they thought they were going to wrap up together.
If history repeats itself, (like it has done before) then Capcom are likely to use the REmakes as a means of “pandering” to the OG crowd, while using the future iterations as a means to adopt the new crowd, then eventually , and once again, dumping the OG crowd for the new crowd, once they’ve garnered enough new “fans”. And before you say anything positive about that little scheme, no, it’s got little positivity within it, because it’s simply a cold business calculation to just make more money, rather than making an endless flow of cash by supplying loyal customers with content they want. I shouldn’t ened to remind anyone ever, that if the game isn’t for you, as in the new generation, then you can simply find another game that panders to your tastes. No company should abuse OG customers in a manner where they simply “dump” them for new, less caring, less intelligent customers (who will drop them for the next new shiny game).
I meant when they remake the game i hope they give people a choice. To be fair resident evil 4 sold crazy well and well beyond what the originals did and i can tell that the original games are super good its just i can’t get used to the security camera based controls lol i just can’t stand them and hate them just as much as the top down view on GTA1 and and 2 and Chinatown .
I remember the first time playing resident evil 1 the controls got way to much in the way of the gameplay to be immersive or fun to me.
I bought resident evil 7, 2, 4 several times, and even the 1 remake despite the fact that i can’t even play it.
Sorry to add anouther comment but i also bought code veronica too i actually think at that point i was a bit older and enjoyed it despite the camera view.
Yep looks like it, they are trying to appeal to all the COD/BF players. I hated the look of FPS in 7 so i’ll be giving this a miss again. Besides 7 was such an unecessary unpleasant looking game.
What’s with the werewolf?
probably mutated species although there was no word on “werewolves” but
“There are also wolf-like creatures that will attack the player in certain areas.”
from the original thread.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info.
They really want to continue this BS first person iteration ? I thought people made it clear with the success of RE2 Remake that it’s not what they wanted
Its Resident evil 7 sequel but will not called Resident evil 8…. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/095bcf681bfe6b5f294695b50da12356f5991e76e2a187dcb16d03d61143329a.gif
I always had a hardon for the original trilogy, but never really liked the other parts of the series including RE4. Loved RE7 though as a spinoff of some sort, its fps view, everything it had to offer. Really hope for a sequel along those lines..
Well, RE4 was where the downfall began, so no surprise there. 5 was bad and 6 was beyond atrocious. Check out RE0, Re1 remake and Code Veronica if you havent
Lol what 4 was bar far the best game in 6th gen i bought the game on the GC-Wii-360-PC-Steam. Played it a good 15 times at least.
I have no idea why people prefer the security camera base controls over first person? Like how on earth is it even possible to aim or to get immersed in the world?
What are you on about that hasn’t been used for years. Most of the fans prefer the third person over the shoulder view.
For you but not for me I hated the first person view as did many others but each to their own.
The game may have a village and a castle.
FPP resident evil 4
they are on a roll so they are probably trying to avoid player fatigue by pursuing and adopting multiple approaches to appeal to a variety of tastes and interests, hence: FPS
We got this when Resi 4 first showed up, and now they are going back to the “two userbases” approach again, and it’s honestly one sure fine way of putting me off the franchise once more.
Is like they don’t know what to do with it, the series should ended in 3.
Nah, just a random twitter user who compiles information on the internet and if several factors from different sources match then he’ll tweet it out. Kinda what every other leaker is doing.
Oh boy, here we go with the old “we want both fan bases, but the OG ones are still going to be in the backseat”.
Just stop mucking this up Capcom. Drop the action fps gun ho crowd and actually stick with the OG ones, because they are the most loyal, and well, they were also there first.
/facepalm
Most RE fans disagree with you
Sounds fake and gay
No, RE is not Outlast/Amnesia…and i like FPS games.
Resident evil 4 is the best resident evil game to date and the best game in the 6th gen of consoles for sure. As long as they keep it more horror focused i’m happy with it 4 was a nice balance that could have been a bit more on the horror side.
2 remake was so amazing and i liked 7 but overall it could have been better without the lame cut scenes.
Good. FPS camera made RE7 the most scary and immersive game in the series. Don’t get me wrong the TPP camera is also very good and it is a core element of RE games but sometimes change can be better.
I like both, but playing in first-person makes for a much more immersive experience and you gotta hand it to them, the engine shines in first-person where you can examine objects and see things up close. I’m a sucker for good visuals so RE is my go-to engine for superb lighting, great texture work, and realistic character models. I couldn’t believe how realistically the hands and the the grip on the gun was designed in RE7. Also the implementation of depth of field in the game was second to none ( with COD:MW also in contention)
Guys, it’s the corona virus this time around.
