Resident Evil 8 looks great, even if you’ve never played a game in Capcom’s classic series before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there are actually people who’ve never played a Resident Evil game! Can you imagine? What people can exist in the year 2021 without having played a single game in this survival horror franchise?<\/p>\n

It’s me, I’m those people. I know, I know, but I’m trying to change that with Capcom’s newest edition to the series, Resident Evil Village<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Capcom allowed me to view an unseen hour-long gameplay demo and as someone who was once scared to death of horror games, I must say, I’m pretty excited. I know some of you out there are in the same boat as me so I just wanted to showcase a few parts of RE: Village that I’m excited about.<\/p>\n

In the video above I speak about getting lost in Lady Dimitrescu’s maze of a castle, The upgrades and equipment you’ll need to survive on your journey, The immersion of stepping into the shoes of Ethan Winters and starting with Resident Evil: Village and going back to Resident Evil 7 – which seems backwards, but I’ve convinced myself that it makes some sense.<\/p>\n

If you’re after the thoughts of someone who has played every Resident Evil game and knows the score, check out Tom’s thoughts in his Resident Evil Village preview<\/a>. He is my boss, so I’m definitely not just saying that to keep him sweet.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil: Village releases on May 7 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC . Let me know what you think about Resident Evil: Village and the video in the comments.<\/p>\n
