This is an opinion shared by many of you.

“I don’t think a Resident Evil is ‘less Resident Evil’ for changing the camera and introducing werewolves. In a way,” he explains Borjamano, “Every three Resident Evil games are introduced new monsters, new controls and mechanics, and even new characters, but they all have something in common: biological weapons, terror and the hallmark of the saga.” About these news, some of you have commented that it was something that the saga already needed. “I think it was more than evident that this particular series needed a little revolution, a concise change of course, in short, a turn in some of its bases that made it evolve, and honestly and from my point of view, RE7 achieved it, and for the better … and I think that if RE8 will continue to that same path, “he says TaMTaMGo.

I have been a fan of the saga since its inception, and Resident Evil 7 was a great game, this one has a palette. But Resident Evil has little,” he adds . On the subject, there are also some criticisms.

“The problem with RE8 is that the theme is already bordering on the ridiculous: vampires? Werewolves?” Says Titangea, who remembers that there are comics in which lycanthropes appear. “If there’s one thing I’ve never liked about RE in general, it’s when they put enemies bordering on the ridiculous: Giant spiders? Crocodiles? Monkeys? It is something that has been suffered since the first installment; they are uninspired enemies “, he adds, unlike others like” zombies and biological weapons like Nemesis, MR.X and others. […] I think the fact of being a grotesque deformation of the human made them more aesthetically impressive. “
