I appreciate these videos that go in-depth about the game development, especially considering the challenges they faced with the pandemic (& the ransomware attack). I’m actually surprised they were pretty honest about the development troubles of the game.
Now if only other companies did it this well.. Looking at games like Cyberpunk 2077 it's hard to imagine them doing proper playtesting and making improvements accordingly. I really love and respect Capcom's hard work right now! Truly a company that gives us the best games they can make without any industry bs
@@yiangaruga4928 Cyberpunk was dropped several times and also completely scrapped and redone so they were kinda shooting themselves in the foot for hyping it up so much knowing how poor of a state the game was in. Ya know?
@@joshneuzerling8942 yeah, tbh it had a lotta pacing issues. sometimes certain sections of the village felt quite empty, specially during halfway of the game I have no idea where these 10/10s are coming from. And the only place that legit scared me was House Beneviento. I was pretty damn excited about this game but it wasn't worth the hype. not saying it's a bad game, it certainly had it's moments but it needed more impact and wow factor. It didn't hit as hard as RE7's dark, more up-close and personal story.
Please, never take a game for granted. Think about what an impossibly difficult of a task it is to create a video game before you write some petty complaint on twitter or wherever. Especially a game of this caliber and especially during the times we live in. Nothing but respect for the devs.
Glad to see that Capcom takes people feedback seriously and wants to make great games. Instead of many game developers who just try to make money grabbers.
@@Juankiki It was also reviewed very well. 95% overwhelmingly positive on Steam. RE8 had the highest concurrent player count in the entire franchise. If you don't like it, that's your personal opinion and taste. Your opinion doesn't mean the game isn't good.
I played through this game 3 times and didn't encounter a single bug. I remember some Japanese devs reacting to a speedrun and they almost died inside, because they took the exploits and glitching as bad design on their part. They are generally insanely thorough.
No bugs either. I am loving the game So far, but im facing stuttering at certain parts in the game, I am on pc btw. I tried to lower the graphics and resolution and still have the same problem, only happened in this game so far. Anyone playing on pc facing the same problem??
@@nocaph9974 yeah when the vampire girls send their bugs to you and want to bite you there is massive frame freezes and stutters and also when an enemy dies sometimes the game stutters but aside from those issues the game worked perfect
I like how they're being honest about how hard it was to make this game, it makes me appreciate it even more, you can actually see a bit of those development problems in the first lycan fight in the village, then after that, the game is pretty much perfect
@@_snacc_190 I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about how the only way you can continue through the game is by being grabbed in a specific way after a given amount of time passes, otherwise you die
Am I the only one that feels that resident evil is a game that you will never forget, I play resident evil since I was 6 and I didn’t realize that I am making the best memories , when I remember that time I fell I am gonnna cry but I’m so thankful that resident evil is still a game 🥺 Edit : Thx resident evil for making my life better .
Good on you fellow Resident Evil player. I've been playing the series ever since Resident Evil 1 on PS1 back in 1996 and still do. It's been a profound experience. It's amazing to see the game evolve over the years, mostly for the better and for the worse during those RE5/RE6 years. I'm truly glad and thankful that Capcom has learned from their mistakes and brought back the series to its core whilst modernising the mechanics in a tasteful manner. I've never seen fictional characters that are so vibrant, so alive you almost could feel their physical presence and wished they truly did exist (hero or villain). I'll take the game to my grave.
Honestly, my only issues with this game are that you don't get to pick the order you fight the Lords in, and I wish more of it took place at night, but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Props to you for finishing it despite Covid!
I'm more curious about some scenes and storyline that got cut out in the final version of this game. If you see the announcement trailer there's a couple scenes that never made it into the final version we later got, like Elena holding a lantern in some dark place/cave. I bet in the early development these side character has more important role or scene in the game.
@@MasterChris666 yes A LOT! A LOT OF COOL & SCARY STUFF! This game is 100% based on upgraded Resident Evil 4 formula. The briefcase inventory, the merchant, the rural village and castle, eastern europe folklore, gameplay mechanism, etc. In order to achieve and apply that formula, all they need is to toned down the scary or horror aspect from the game. Resident Evil 7 has amazing character development even for side character and main bosses. You can clearly see how Jack Baker character evolve during the game, from beloved and caring father to unstoppable maniac and later a redemption for his character during Ethan's hallucination scene when Baker told him to free his family. They should keep Richard Pearsey as the writer for Village. In Village all 4 lords has poor character development especially Beneviento. I'm hope there's a couple of DLC coming soon to fix the plot holes in this game and giving some characters moment to shine. I'm enjoying Village and really appreciate their hardwork when making this game, but to me Resident Evil 7 is more superior than Village.
As soon as I finally played this game, I realised it’s a passion project. In such a short time Frame, I played the Game two times until the end (1x hardcore, 1x VOS) and I enjoyed every minute of it. Also the mercenaries mode is a fine addition. I can’t wait for the dlc‘s and other future titles to come. All in all, if you still considering buying the game with your hard earned money, do it. You won’t regret it. Thanks for delivering us this awesome experience 🙏🏼❤️💜
Remember this video next time you see someone argue that QA aren't real developers. It is very common for QA to be belittled, downplayed, etc. QA and a team that works closely with QA, listening to their concerns and suggested solutions, is the difference between a masterpiece and a complete disaster. RE Village is a great game because Capcom's dev teams trusted that the QA team knew what they were talking about, even if the news was not what they wanted to hear. Ex-Rare devs have said that QA is the soul of gamedev. At Rare and Free Radical, QA had final signoff. If QA said the game wasn't ready, it didn't ship. Why were Rare's games so polished? Because they treated QA as the heart and soul of a quality game. The reason why so many modern games are buggy or just wrongheaded gameplay-wise is because devs and publishers don't listen to QA anymore. (Except, it would seem, companies like Capcom, at least for teams like RE.) Free Radical clashed with EA because EA's people wanted to falsely close bug reports as fixed on TimeSplitters 3. And this was absolute heresy to Free Radical, but is a symptom of what has gone wrong with game polish. The QA department of any studio needs to be held in high regard, needs to be on close terms with the developers, and needs to be able to raise their voices without fear that being a "troublemaker" will get them laid off and replaced with yes-men contractors who will tell the devs and publisher that everything is fine.
Please, show more of that development build of the game! The village's level design looks more dark and brooding and the early lycans animations look so cool.
I noticed that the Lycans make some gestures towards the player when they're in group; i think this gives them more personality. I wish that could've been kept in the final version of the game...
@Calvin Tijares But that's not the point of a remake. The point of a remake - in my eyes, at least - is to upgrade all the past systems, environments, enemies, characters and everything else while still letting for the original to shine in its own places and for its own reasons. RE2R kinda did that.
@@chrisopthof3502 Nope I had to use my bullets and med kits wisely which made the whole experience scarier. I don't get frightened easily and this game had lots of eerie and scary moments.
They did a great job like the game, soundtrack with chilling sounds all the time, there are no words to describe how great it was, I just thought I could explore more of the 4 lords, have little screen time, could have been a little more present and great replay factor, congratulations capcom, will make an incredible game .... thank you very much for the excellent translation in portuguese, you gave us an incredible gift
Makes me so proud to see the hard work of the developers to deliver a worthy video game. RE Village was everything I hoped it'd be, and much more. Congratulations to everyone involved for such a fantastic video game ❤️
As a dev myself I really like how you emphasize role of QA in making game better. Siting with devs and QA in one room to discuss problems is very simple but not used tool to make game better. QA is always your first audience so they will know what will annoys players. Thanks for this video!
ARIGATO GOSAIMASU to CAPCOM TEAM and RESIDENT EVIL TEAM for bring us VILLAGE to PS4 and XBOX ONE SISTEMS. A lot of hard work to create this MASTERPIECE i cannot wait to see the next entry of the series. 🙇🏻♂️🇯🇵❤
Wish you guy's would of kept the scenes of Leonardo Lupu and Elena Lupu that you had in the first two trailers be in the final game. Because it told more information on the events that took place during the time there Village was being taken by the Lycans and how they both made there way finally arriving in the nearby hut next to Luiza's House where Ethan finds them later on in the game.
Like Capcom said in the video game design was a mess near the end of RE: Village development 2020. Perhaps Elena’s gameplay part wasn’t that good for them and a reason why it was cut out to fix the flaws of the gameplay. That doesn’t mean a possibility of DLC to improve Elena’s supposed section of the game that is still left in the cutting room.
@@daves.5589 Yeah true I just kind of wanted to see a couple of cut scenes on what events took place at that time with the surviving villagers before Ethan came around. Instead of reading it around in papers that you find during exploring the town. But then again Resident Evil kind of has been like that with finding information like that during exploring.
2:12 I remember seeing the concept art for this encounter and thought "damn, why didn't they go with that?" but seeing that amount of lycans in such an open space is such a pain to go through haha. Although, it would be cool if they implemented it into Village of Shadows mode as a bonus level or something.
@@ukiyo26 just play village of shadows difficulty with no infinite ammo also you need to read what they said, the reason they cut it was because there was way too many enemies and little to no ammo instead of being challenging but fair it was bullshit
Egg did you see their aim in the vid? They're absolutely dogshit. I died once in my first playthrough (hardcore). VoS is a difficulty you unlock after already FINISHING the game. Devs should have gone with their own ideas
@@ukiyo26 the problem is that when they were going with their own ideas they were constantly creating flaws that the people who played the development demo noticed also lycanthropy before moved way too fast and were way to aggressive and were in large amount it was pretty much impossible also they went with their own ideas in 6 and look how that turned out
I finished the game three times on different difficulty levels, including Standard, Hardcore, Survivor. It was a really good experience, but one criticism I have of the game is that the character of Lady dimitrescu and her daughters could really be paid much better. They have been in the game for a long time and play good roles, but it was a good game anyway. I love you Capcom❤
I believe it actually has a sense of rescue and hard struggle towards the player because you have the priority of saving your daughter from this evil priestess like being whilst getting hurt emotionally and physically throughout this entire game We are proud of you capcom for your dedication in this game and never gave up
I'm just sad that many things from the villagers and Elena, who appear in the first trailer were cut from the final product. But I still liked the game.
All my respects to the RE team. Some people don't understand how hard it is to make such an amazing game, to bring it to life. You did an amazing job and thanks for choosing that location and characters!!
More flushed out characters, storylines, more available game modes on release, more potential for game time and compelling side stories and overall a complete package of their vision of the game. Still, a phenomenal game and hopefully it will get better in the future.
showing the work, passion, and struggle that goes into a game makes me appreciate it more. Deadlines are always scary, but the RE team made it work and came out with something amazing
The game was a 7/10 for me, its a solid experience. Not anything groundbreaking, feels like they took inspiration from way to many games and in doing so it doesn't feel original or a resident evil game at that. The village area in total is probably the best part of the game followed by the castle which would have been so much better if they had made it longer and fleshed it out more, the other areas of the game are average at best which make the replay ability of village not that great.
It's great to know this but I still don't know how the lack of FOV slider and frame drops with the daughters passed QA lmao. Also they should have kept that mode with many enemies as an unlockable, even the last difficulty is easy with inf ammo.
Village became my favorite resident evil game of all! It’s outstanding, and all the high expectations I had since its reveal were surpassed after finishing it the first time. RE7 got me into the franchise and pretty much changed my life. I love these behind the scenes videos. Thank you so much for all of the hard work and hard thinking that were put into this game. I’m beyond excited for what’s next.
I really admire how open you were about the conflict between the Dev team and the QA team. However, as is obvious in the final product, it was an incredibly useful and productive conflict! I was never really into Resident Evil much, but Village caught my eye, as it is right up my alley, and now I definitely would like to go back and play previous games that I have missed! Thank you, Capcom!
Really hope they can see this message...guys...the game you delivered is a MASTERPIECE, it's done with care and heart, man, you guys did a fantastic job, having a blast so far...congrats 🙏🏻
I could eat up tons of these kinds of videos! I want them to get more in-depth, talk specific numbers, how they balanced the systems, what player behavior they were looking for, what they got, then how they reconciled. Why was 5 enemies better than 4, why were 20 bullets the right number, why is it between 6-7 shots to kill this enemy, those kinds of things.
I love that you all shared this stuff that happened behind the scenes! Arigato gozaimasu for the fun new game... ive almost played through it three times already. its just that much fun for me :)
Thank you Capcom. I truly appreciate all the hard work and effort that you all put into this game. Words can't describe how much I love the Resident Evil series and Village was definitely the cherry on the cake. Truly exceeded all my expectations
Im shocked they took away limited saves for harder difficulties , thats what made Madhouse on re7 so tense when and where do you save , also letting us use infinnite ammo to finish higher difficulties def isn't Madhouse. Still enjoyed the game very much.
Capcom, please know that the main reason I've kept gaming over the years is cause of my love for the Resident Evil series. The focus back on exploration, puzzles, and inventory management has been absolutely fantastic. RE7 onwards have been some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to the future of the series!
The baby got crystallized, shattered into multiple pieces, put into four flasks (which are all guarded by Miranda's four heavenly kings). And if Ethan can collect all of them he can restore the baby back to how it was... who wrote this story, really? The game is fun but you can't expect me to suspend disbelief for this shit. It's too crazy even for Resident Evil. In fact, it sounds like Final Fantasy with all bullshit about four fiends guarding crystals.
@The void banana Those came before Capcom rebooted the series from the rut they got it into. But now they half-assed the RE3R, they greenlit RE:Verse and they add crap like this into the story that are too awkward to explain.
Would be real nice if more games went through proper play testing and implemented changes accordingly... With all the buggy messes filled with badly designed features and systems I doubt alot of the companies do the playtesting right. Seriously who tested Cyberpunk 2077 for example and was like yeah this is fine just release it? Thank you Capcom for putting the effort into giving us the best games you can, even during these hard times!
A struggle to survive is exactly what I felt through the controls and combat the first time through and it's awesome to see that's exactly what they were going for
You can see the game was designed for larger group attacks as the houses with blockable doors and boards and flour are never needed or utilized during the actual game -Except the very begining Village attack. In the main game there is no reason at all to use those houses "features" as you only get attacked by a handful of enemies at a time.
This is a fascinating and awesome video, but I'm now even more curious why they kept aim-acceleration on by default. The aiming and combat feels SO MUCH better with aim-acceleration turned off on controller.
They did a amazing job with the PS4 version. I didn't have a single bug/glitch my entire playthrough. My only problem was the 4 Lord's didn't get enough screentime and character development, the boss fights lacked something special and the game should've been scarier. But other than that, it was amazing
it's a very difficult and dedicated job by the whole team, I loved the game very much and for me it's already the game of the year, I don't know if there had been a mobile version of Resident Evil 7 and the Village or the remakes, but we'll wait one day for that to happen, the work you did at the Village was so perfect.
Very commendable work. Signs of a STRONG company embraces disagreement among peers with consistent transparency and objective trust in getting the work done TOGETHER. I would want to work at Capcom after watching this video. Resident Evil 8 is an EXCELLENT product worthy of its creed and heritage. With a grateful sincerity of a long-time fan, I give thanks to the entire staff and their families for endearing this struggle through hard times.
Thank you CAPCOM!! You guys made a masterpiece in term of story, graphic (dude this is crazy awesome), and made the gameplay and difficulties enjoyable! Even the mercenaries mini game, and everyone thought that from RE7, it will be a flop as they changed their gameplay to first person shooter, but i got to say, it’s worth every penny to bought this game!!! The graphic is phenomenal!!!!!
Love how the font for scenes present the development struggle like it's an RE episode. Also like how they basically changed the design philosophy from Left 4 Dead (overwhelm the players) to PREY (make the players paranoid or prepare as enemy encounters are unpredictable)
So basically the qa testers complained because the game was too hard for them? The devs should have continuee with their own idea.even tho i loved the game, it was really easy. Even on hardcore (first playthrough).
This is why I love video game development. I love the process of making a video game. The different departments and people that develop and do the creative work.
You guys doing a great job. I really love how resident evil going right now. Infact when i finish playing re8, i just cant go back to the previous series. It is the best RE for me.
Tbh i really think your decision on reducing the fear factor makes it more enjoyable for casual players , i have never feel like going back to play re7 but re village i feel like i want to reply after i finished the game ! MASTER PIECE!
I hope when resident evil 9 comes out that they make a pack with all nine resident evil games in one package, although that would probably be more like an 80 to 90 dollar game
Thank you for your hard work with resident evil 8 village. I hope capcom goes back to the original story of Resident Evil with cool music and more detail in the monsters
This game was an amazing experience and the changes made were great. The thing I noticed a lot with the pacing was the times its quiet is the time you conserve your resources, because when things heat up, you are going to wish you have the ammo lol.

I had tons of fun with VILLAGE. It was different and the new lore was cool. Not the best RE, but a successful one.
Hardly any survival horror man....
@@chrisopthof3502 It was definitely a survival horror. At least for me. My first playthrough on hardcore was pretty damn intense
@@koohpa hmm...did you have plenty of bullets and Med Kits practically the entire time? Was it less horror and more action? Hmm
@@chrisopthof3502 Nope I had to use my bullets and med kits wisely which made the whole experience scarier. I don't get frightened easily and this game had lots of eerie and scary moments.
@Aigami Most Resident Evil games are like this tbh.
They did a great job like the game, soundtrack with chilling sounds all the time, there are no words to describe how great it was, I just thought I could explore more of the 4 lords, have little screen time, could have been a little more present and great replay factor, congratulations capcom, will make an incredible game .... thank you very much for the excellent translation in portuguese, you gave us an incredible gift
Wow, i didn't know the struggle meanwhile the fans and me are focusing on Lady D too much lol
They aren’t fans, they are horny dweebs who only jumped on from this game.
@@spacecobra3101 Resident Evil fans have actually been horny from the beginning.
@@angelusvastator1297 true xD
Thank you for interviewing QA and getting their side of the story - that's way too rare in news/etc. about video game development.
Makes me so proud to see the hard work of the developers to deliver a worthy video game. RE Village was everything I hoped it'd be, and much more. Congratulations to everyone involved for such a fantastic video game ❤️
Thank you for all the hard work, it really payed off. Amazing game one of my favorite newer titles
Capcom team, you are AMAZING!!! I appreciate all of the hard work you guys put into the Resident Evil games. They are truly mind blowing.
As a dev myself I really like how you emphasize role of QA in making game better. Siting with devs and QA in one room to discuss problems is very simple but not used tool to make game better. QA is always your first audience so they will know what will annoys players. Thanks for this video!
I read an arcticle about Actiivsion. QA there had atrocious conditions and were treated worse than devs.
@@daytwentytwo I heard so too :( This industry need to switch how they are viewing QA as a team and that they are important part of development team
ARIGATO GOSAIMASU to CAPCOM TEAM and RESIDENT EVIL TEAM for bring us VILLAGE to PS4 and XBOX ONE SISTEMS. A lot of hard work to create this MASTERPIECE i cannot wait to see the next entry of the series. 🙇🏻♂️🇯🇵❤
Wish you guy's would of kept the scenes of Leonardo Lupu and Elena Lupu that you had in the first two trailers be in the final game. Because it told more information on the events that took place during the time there Village was being taken by the Lycans and how they both made there way finally arriving in the nearby hut next to Luiza's House where Ethan finds them later on in the game.
Like Capcom said in the video game design was a mess near the end of RE: Village development 2020. Perhaps Elena’s gameplay part wasn’t that good for them and a reason why it was cut out to fix the flaws of the gameplay. That doesn’t mean a possibility of DLC to improve Elena’s supposed section of the game that is still left in the cutting room.
@@daves.5589 Yeah true I just kind of wanted to see a couple of cut scenes on what events took place at that time with the surviving villagers before Ethan came around. Instead of reading it around in papers that you find during exploring the town. But then again Resident Evil kind of has been like that with finding information like that during exploring.
Thank you for all the hard work and perseverance. Y’all made an amazing experience and the team’s dedication takes center stage.
🙏🏽
2:12 I remember seeing the concept art for this encounter and thought "damn, why didn't they go with that?" but seeing that amount of lycans in such an open space is such a pain to go through haha. Although, it would be cool if they implemented it into Village of Shadows mode as a bonus level or something.
Like a legendary dark knight mode lol maybe make it exclusive to the next gen due to limitations like with dmc5 SE
I would rather have it be a pain in the ass than it too easy, like in the final game. Its supposed to be a survival horror game ffs
@@ukiyo26 just play village of shadows difficulty with no infinite ammo also you need to read what they said, the reason they cut it was because there was way too many enemies and little to no ammo instead of being challenging but fair it was bullshit
Egg did you see their aim in the vid? They're absolutely dogshit. I died once in my first playthrough (hardcore). VoS is a difficulty you unlock after already FINISHING the game. Devs should have gone with their own ideas
@@ukiyo26 the problem is that when they were going with their own ideas they were constantly creating flaws that the people who played the development demo noticed also lycanthropy before moved way too fast and were way to aggressive and were in large amount it was pretty much impossible also they went with their own ideas in 6 and look how that turned out
I finished the game three times on different difficulty levels, including Standard, Hardcore, Survivor. It was a really good experience, but one criticism I have of the game is that the character of Lady dimitrescu and her daughters could really be paid much better. They have been in the game for a long time and play good roles, but it was a good game anyway.
I love you Capcom❤
I believe it actually has a sense of rescue and hard struggle towards the player because you have the priority of saving your daughter from this evil priestess like being whilst getting hurt emotionally and physically throughout this entire game
We are proud of you capcom for your dedication in this game and never gave up
Honestly, from looking at the development play tester footage... this was the right decision. Thank you, Capcom
I hope one day we can see the cut scenes and areas of the game :
I'm just sad that many things from the villagers and Elena, who appear in the first trailer were cut from the final product. But I still liked the game.
I was sure Elene would survive, I was wrong.
You didn't necessarily see her die so I'm hoping for DLC maybe of her escape
@@ZeusWeus yeah you just saw her plunge into fire, shes probably fine fire isnt that hot anyways
@@chanovia5912 aye but like, maybe she fell through? 😂
@@ZeusWeus The worst is that, Parker in Revelations 1 also fell in the middle of the fire and survived lol
@@zireael117 Exactly!
All my respects to the RE team. Some people don't understand how hard it is to make such an amazing game, to bring it to life. You did an amazing job and thanks for choosing that location and characters!!
Imagine how good games would be without deadlines.
More flushed out characters, storylines, more available game modes on release, more potential for game time and compelling side stories and overall a complete package of their vision of the game. Still, a phenomenal game and hopefully it will get better in the future.
It wont.
I love this game . Every character in this game is lovable . I can't decide who is the best one .
Thanks for a true Masterpiece ❤️❤️
showing the work, passion, and struggle that goes into a game makes me appreciate it more. Deadlines are always scary, but the RE team made it work and came out with something amazing
The game was a 7/10 for me, its a solid experience. Not anything groundbreaking, feels like they took inspiration from way to many games and in doing so it doesn't feel original or a resident evil game at that. The village area in total is probably the best part of the game followed by the castle which would have been so much better if they had made it longer and fleshed it out more, the other areas of the game are average at best which make the replay ability of village not that great.
It's great to know this but I still don't know how the lack of FOV slider and frame drops with the daughters passed QA lmao. Also they should have kept that mode with many enemies as an unlockable, even the last difficulty is easy with inf ammo.
Thank you to ALL the crew! It's truly an amazing and memorable game.
Reading that people said RE7 was to scary that is why they turn the down the horror for RE8
Village became my favorite resident evil game of all! It’s outstanding, and all the high expectations I had since its reveal were surpassed after finishing it the first time. RE7 got me into the franchise and pretty much changed my life.
I love these behind the scenes videos.
Thank you so much for all of the hard work and hard thinking that were put into this game. I’m beyond excited for what’s next.
I really admire how open you were about the conflict between the Dev team and the QA team. However, as is obvious in the final product, it was an incredibly useful and productive conflict! I was never really into Resident Evil much, but Village caught my eye, as it is right up my alley, and now I definitely would like to go back and play previous games that I have missed! Thank you, Capcom!
Really hope they can see this message...guys...the game you delivered is a MASTERPIECE, it's done with care and heart, man, you guys did a fantastic job, having a blast so far...congrats 🙏🏻
1:19 i wish this section was implemented it looks darker than other areas and terrifying when they swarm u!
I could eat up tons of these kinds of videos! I want them to get more in-depth, talk specific numbers, how they balanced the systems, what player behavior they were looking for, what they got, then how they reconciled. Why was 5 enemies better than 4, why were 20 bullets the right number, why is it between 6-7 shots to kill this enemy, those kinds of things.
I love that you all shared this stuff that happened behind the scenes! Arigato gozaimasu for the fun new game... ive almost played through it three times already. its just that much fun for me :)
Thank you Capcom. I truly appreciate all the hard work and effort that you all put into this game. Words can't describe how much I love the Resident Evil series and Village was definitely the cherry on the cake. Truly exceeded all my expectations
I was playing it again just minutes ago. Such amazing experience! Please show more of the development.
Through everything, the game turned out perfect, Thanks guys.
Im shocked they took away limited saves for harder difficulties , thats what made Madhouse on re7 so tense when and where do you save , also letting us use infinnite ammo to finish higher difficulties def isn't Madhouse. Still enjoyed the game very much.
Capcom, please know that the main reason I've kept gaming over the years is cause of my love for the Resident Evil series. The focus back on exploration, puzzles, and inventory management has been absolutely fantastic. RE7 onwards have been some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to the future of the series!
The baby got crystallized, shattered into multiple pieces, put into four flasks (which are all guarded by Miranda's four heavenly kings). And if Ethan can collect all of them he can restore the baby back to how it was... who wrote this story, really? The game is fun but you can't expect me to suspend disbelief for this shit. It's too crazy even for Resident Evil. In fact, it sounds like Final Fantasy with all bullshit about four fiends guarding crystals.
@The void banana Those came before Capcom rebooted the series from the rut they got it into. But now they half-assed the RE3R, they greenlit RE:Verse and they add crap like this into the story that are too awkward to explain.
@@Demokaze Yeah so RE 4 isnt shitty story writing too? LMAO
Well you guys did a great job, i love it and on 3rd playthrough WELL DONE for continuing to exceed expectations
I love this franchise and I love this game, but please make the next one scarier ;)
I agree it needs to be scarier. I was a bit in the first parts but got used to it quickly .
Would be real nice if more games went through proper play testing and implemented changes accordingly... With all the buggy messes filled with badly designed features and systems I doubt alot of the companies do the playtesting right. Seriously who tested Cyberpunk 2077 for example and was like yeah this is fine just release it?
Thank you Capcom for putting the effort into giving us the best games you can, even during these hard times!
A struggle to survive is exactly what I felt through the controls and combat the first time through and it's awesome to see that's exactly what they were going for
You can see the game was designed for larger group attacks as the houses with blockable doors and boards and flour are never needed or utilized during the actual game -Except the very begining Village attack. In the main game there is no reason at all to use those houses "features" as you only get attacked by a handful of enemies at a time.
This is a fascinating and awesome video, but I'm now even more curious why they kept aim-acceleration on by default. The aiming and combat feels SO MUCH better with aim-acceleration turned off on controller.
Really enjoyed the game! I love the first tense Lycan standoff it has great music. Good job Capcom 👌
Who ever told the head of this game to tone down the horror needs help. They ruined Re8 making it more action
Exactly, Intense fucked up horror really helped 7&8, toning it down would be awful
Resident evil team you did another excellent job. Thank you! We love you guys!
tq very much CAPCOM RE 8 team.. i played this games.. is a fantastic RE game since RE 4..
I want more of these dev vids!
They did a amazing job with the PS4 version. I didn't have a single bug/glitch my entire playthrough. My only problem was the 4 Lord's didn't get enough screentime and character development, the boss fights lacked something special and the game should've been scarier. But other than that, it was amazing
You all made a masterpiece!
Why u here Ethan?😂
@@Syaf007 to praise this amazing
it's a very difficult and dedicated job by the whole team, I loved the game very much and for me it's already the game of the year, I don't know if there had been a mobile version of Resident Evil 7 and the Village or the remakes, but we'll wait one day for that to happen, the work you did at the Village was so perfect.
Did a good job! I'm having more fun with this one than 7, speaking personally. On my 4th straight play through and still loving it.
Very commendable work. Signs of a STRONG company embraces disagreement among peers with consistent transparency and objective trust in getting the work done TOGETHER. I would want to work at Capcom after watching this video. Resident Evil 8 is an EXCELLENT product worthy of its creed and heritage. With a grateful sincerity of a long-time fan, I give thanks to the entire staff and their families for endearing this struggle through hard times.
Thank you CAPCOM!! You guys made a masterpiece in term of story, graphic (dude this is crazy awesome), and made the gameplay and difficulties enjoyable! Even the mercenaries mini game, and everyone thought that from RE7, it will be a flop as they changed their gameplay to first person shooter, but i got to say, it’s worth every penny to bought this game!!! The graphic is phenomenal!!!!!
Thanks a lot to deveopers for their hardwork. I have not finished RE 8 yet but I really enjoy it so far. It is a great game.
Appreciate Capcom sharing this insight. The team clearly made the right choices. I love the game and have played through it many times already.
"The QA team and the Dev team may think different" It's a reality in every kind of software development xD
Love how the font for scenes present the development struggle like it's an RE episode.
Also like how they basically changed the design philosophy from Left 4 Dead (overwhelm the players) to PREY (make the players paranoid or prepare as enemy encounters are unpredictable)
Thank you Capcom for creating such a masterpiece! I love this franchise and hope there is many more to come!
I feel their struggling to finish this fantastic game. Good job capcom. I really liked this game. It’s my top 3 of RE games ever.
So basically the qa testers complained because the game was too hard for them? The devs should have continuee with their own idea.even tho i loved the game, it was really easy. Even on hardcore (first playthrough).
Dudo mucho que sin munición infinita y con las armas convencionales, lograras pasarte el juego en la mas alta dificultad, no te tires tanto el pisto.
Thank you for making this game also I give a big love for listening to our critics and advices
This is why I love video game development. I love the process of making a video game. The different departments and people that develop and do the creative work.
I want to see more of the old builds of the game.
This is great, it's interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes and how things like covid affected the game.
This was great to see. Hope we see more of the dev team in the future.
Absolute great work they’ve done! Love these vids! Capcom always aimes high with their franchises
You guys doing a great job. I really love how resident evil going right now. Infact when i finish playing re8, i just cant go back to the previous series. It is the best RE for me.
Loved every bit of the game... You can really tell that all of the Team at Capcom did put a lot of time, effort and heart into the game.
Tbh i really think your decision on reducing the fear factor makes it more enjoyable for casual players , i have never feel like going back to play re7 but re village i feel like i want to reply after i finished the game ! MASTER PIECE!
Masterful work as always, Capcom 👏👏👏
I hope when resident evil 9 comes out that they make a pack with all nine resident evil games in one package, although that would probably be more like an 80 to 90 dollar game
Thank you for your hard work with resident evil 8 village.
I hope capcom goes back to the original story of Resident Evil with cool music and more detail in the monsters
This game was an amazing experience and the changes made were great. The thing I noticed a lot with the pacing was the times its quiet is the time you conserve your resources, because when things heat up, you are going to wish you have the ammo lol.
You guys did a phenomenal job and delivered a masterpiece. Thank you!
Thank you capcom, even though you struggle to make this game, you shipped a wonderful product. I enjoyed the story very much. 💙
