For nylig slap en detaljeret rapport ud om det kommende Resident Evil 8, der tilsyneladende antydede at spillet ville bibeholde førstepersonssperspektivet fra Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, og at hovedpersonen Ethan Winters ville vende tilbage (i selskab med Chris Redfield). Nu kunne noget dog tyde på, at denne information ikke gør sig gældende for sådan som Resident Evil 8 ser ud i dag.
Insideren der i første omgang talte om Resident Evil 8, AestheticGamer, har nemlig kommenteret på rapporten, og selvom han bekræfter dens validitet, så er den version af spillet angiveligvis blevet skrottet.
"Me & the people who are sharing the RE8 rumor actually talked about this a few days ago, for the record I am certain the RE8 that's being talked about is not the final game and is probably what Capcom rebooted about half a year ago. I think Capcom did a vertical slice test with fans to see where they sit with it, I didn't specifically know about the werewolves and witches until we talked about it. But something about the Chris thing and B-Movie monster direction fit very well with two other things I know, so I believe it. But even if I believe it, I'm also aware that this isn't the direction the final RE8 is going in. And Capcom are deciding what to carry over and what to severely change about RE8's direction when rebooting it."
Så noget kunne tyde på at det at udviklingen er blevet genstartet holder vand. Så er spørgsmålet bare - hvad synes du om den retning spillet var på vej i?
