More Claustrophobic Environments
Speaking of striking a balance, a return to a more confined, claustrophobic environment would also be great, simply as a change of pace. Resident Evil 9 doesn’t necessarily have to take place in a single building but could instead follow the Resident Evil 7 approach – which is to flesh out and add depth to a smaller overall location. If this can be balanced with the increased scale of Village, providing a good variety of levels to explore while keeping the overall setting consistent, it would be ideal. Plus, it’s still possible to have big set-piece moments when taking this approach as pretty much every classic Resident Evil title has proven.
