In the latest issue of Game Informer, a lot of news has been released about Resident evil village. The information ranges from enemies and setting, to details on Chris and some game mechanics. Below, we will go to sort out the news.
First, there will be a new variety of enemies: i Lycan. In detail, Lycans are endowed with greater strength and speed than classic opponents of resident evil. They are able to jump over rooftops, break through doors and run after players. Ethan can barricade himself inside the houses but, as mentioned, the Lycans manage to break down the doors. It will therefore be very difficult to survive their attacks.
Lycans are also distinguished by the variety of their attitudes. In fact, they will behave differently according to the situations. When in packs, Lycans are extremely aggressive but, if isolated, they can decide between several strategies. For example, they can hide in bushes and attempt ambushes, or lurk to gain strategic advantages in combat and wait for their prey. Lycans are also gifted with non-aggressive attitudes.
Lycans are also designed to take advantage of the great work done by Capcom in terms of level design and the vastness of the settings.
Second Capcom, the world of Resident evil village has the largest environments in the saga. While this obviously means wider and more open spaces, it also translates into verticality. In fact, the developer claims that the environments of Village are more vertical than those of previous titles. To account for these larger environments, Ethan's movement speed is faster than in previous titles. However, to prevent the game from turning too much into action, Capcom he worked a lot on the dangers of enemies.
Additionally, the larger and more intricate design of the village is also meant to encourage greater depth of the mechanics. In fact, players will have more options on how to deal with various scenarios and combat situations.
Capcom he also explains that the village that serves as the game's setting actually has no name. It is simply referred to as the village. This will have an explanation that will be revealed during the adventure. Capcom he tried to find a balance between desolate beauty and grotesque landscapes. The setting is beautiful and vast, but features elements such as corpses, goat heads and dead animals that stand in contrast.
AestheticGamer has collected on Twitter all the most interesting details of the issue of Game Informer dedicated to Resident evil village. In addition to what has already been said, it is noted that the story will delve into the dark side of Chris Redfield. This is an aspect of his character that was already present in the past, but has worsened over time.
Of course his role is still a mystery. We know Chris broke into Ethan's house, shot Mia, and kidnapped their daughter but there's clearly more. This may relate to Mother Miranda, the matron Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters report to. As for the puzzles, the developer believes that Resident evil village has the best of the saga.
The puzzles will be perfectly integrated with the game and their difficulty will be balanced so that they are neither too simple nor too complex.
Finally, other game mechanics were also revealed. Some of which will be introduced in the series for the first time. One example is the ability to hunt wildlife and use their meat for upgrades.
Resident evil village it will therefore contain many wild animals and players will be able to hunt them to feed on their meat. The collected food can be delivered to the Duke, the merchant of the game, who will cook it. Finally, by ingesting food, stats such as health, damage and stamina will be improved.
The Duke will, of course, also be crucial for weapon upgrades. Each weapon will have standard upgrades, but some will also have special upgrade options. For example, a cheek rest for the F2 rifle to reduce its recoil or a trigger for the M1897 rifle to improve its rate of fire.
Evil Village residents it will also receive a new demo before its release. Unlike that for PS5, the new demo is from the final game and should provide more substantial gameplay. All this will be confirmed tomorrow during the showcase of Capcom.
Resident evil village will be released on May 7 on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, PS4, Xbox One, PC e Stadia.
