Resident Evil Can’t Rely On Nostalgia Forever

Nos ultimos dias, o assunto vem ganhando atencao. Resident Evil has been on a bit of a hot streak as of late.

Vale destacar que Ever since the survival-horror series made a grand comeback with 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Capcom has consistently and pretty regularly delivered on what fans love about the series. Whether that’s new entries that pay tribute to the past, such as Village, or full remakes of classic titles like Resident Evil 4, there’s absolutely no shortage of experiences for every type of Resident Evil fan. So why does it feel as though the series is in a bit of a creative rut as of late?

Because of the series' refusal to let go of the past. It may sound blasphemous to say in light of success after success, but with the recent release of Resident Evil: Requiem and the announcement of Resident Evil Veronica, it's starting to feel as if the franchise is just going through the motions without pushing it forward in any meaningful way. If Resident Evil is going to continue thriving as a franchise, it can’t be afraid to let go of past baggage and nostalgic pandering. Resident Evil: Requiem, despite being what is arguably one of the best entries in the franchise, suffers from a case of nostalgia overload. Fique de olho nas proximas publicacoes.
