Game developer Capcom recently confirmed the set of next generation features of "Resident Evil Village," otherwise known as "Resident Evil 8." Earlier, the gaming studio announced that the horror title would be available on Xbox Series X, PC, and PS5. In a recent interview, game producers reveal the title's next generation features that would not be available to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players.
Capcom is set to release the eighth mainline installment in the popular series dubbed as "Resident Evil Village" on next-gen consoles. This is the first title of the franchise to be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Considering the proximity of the game's release, it is understandable that it might not take full advantage of the consoles, but it looks like it will utilize their extra power and features to provide gaming with interesting things.
The latest information about "Resident Evil Village" comes from the game producers themselves through a recent Q&A shared by Twitter user Alex Aniel. The "Resident Evil Village" fan took the initiative to translate the interaction, which sheds more light on the upcoming title in terms of gameplay details and next-gen features. The game producers talked about inventory management in the game.
Additionally, Capcom shared that "Resident Evil Village" offers upgraded graphics, sound and "imperceptible" load times. Like all other releases on new consoles, improvement in the graphics quality of the game is expected. Interestingly, the term imperceptible load times, which could be credited to the solid state drive that both upcoming consoles pack.
Q9. You showed the inventory screen in the Special Developer Message. Looks like RE4's attache case! (I filled it with eggs back in the day). We're looking forward to item management! A9. Can't go into detail but inventory management is very important! Please look forward to it. — Alex Aniel (@cvxfreak) July 1, 2020
If Capcom means almost zero loading times for "Resident Evil Village," this is great news for fans. For years, gamers have been putting up with almost perpetual loading times. It is interesting to see what this next-gen feature would be like for a horror title such as "Resident Evil Village." There are still lots of things about Capcom's upcoming title that fans would like to know about.
Most fans are curious about how the gaming studio ties the story of "Resident Evil Village" with the previous titles in the franchise. Will the upcoming title reintroduce the original Umbrella, or will it take a very different direction? The eighth installment to the popular franchise was unveiled at last month's PlayStation 5 digital event.
"Resident Evil Village" is due to arrive sometime in 2021. The upcoming horror title would be released on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
