Capcom set out to make RE8 less “scary” than RE7
Resident Evil’s producer says Village was balanced based on feedback that ‘RE7 was too scary’ | VGC
When we develop a new Resident Evil game, our goal is not always to make it scarier than the previous title, but find a balance to deliver a scary but fun experience for players,” he said.
“Some of the feedback we received regarding [RE7 was] that it was too scary to play,” Kanda added. “In one regard, that’s exactly what we were striving for, so it’s a huge compliment for us.
“But at the same time, it’s always our goal to create something that anybody can feel comfortable jumping in and playing, so we eased up on the tension curve [in RE Village] relative to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, so that players aren’t in constant fear.”
While Resident Evil 7 put players in a series of confined spaces, “as if the walls of the Baker mansion were closing in on them”, Resident Evil Village’s relatively open environments aim to create tension differently.
“For Resident Evil Village, we took an entirely different approach with the openness of the village and players not knowing what might be lurking beyond the trees,” Kanda said.
“Something we also always have to pay attention to is the tension curve. We also find that people grow immune to fear if they’re consistently pitted up against a tense situation or environment.
“Those moments of solace act as a buffer to make sure that people aren’t completely desensitized to the horror. The save rooms that you often see in many ‘Resident Evil’ games is a great example of that, where players can take a deep breath and know that they are safe.”

My scary ass would be running from Barney like
I don't like these moves. I want RE Rac00n City levels of scariness. Like, walking around in a desolated area with faint sounds of zombies or monsters growling. Dark, night time maps. These cloudy, hazy day time areas with warewolve/nikkas take me out the game.
I want RE to go back to some confined areas. Imagine a BOTW style RE game?
I want to be able to walk/run/drive up to some big facility whether it is a police station, hospital, museum or big ass mansion.

I'm trying to play RE7 now so I know the story of this one, but playing Resident Evil in 1st person is 
brehs. I really need this shyt to go back to 3rd person.

How it should be. I'd like it if they gave the option to play in either first or third person.

I hope this mod is available when it releases. I don't mind the cutscenes in 1st person for w/e but at least gameplay.
