Resident Evil Village Isn't Named Resident Evil 8, Capcom Says

*bump*

I would of said RE 7.1 or VII.I going by the way they highlighted those characters in the name.

How can you call it a mainline entry & it not be Resident Evil 8??? Every other side story Resident Evil wasn't considered a mainline entry (Code: Veronica, Revelations 1 & 2, Deam Aim, & Survivor). So now this is a mainline entry but not RE8??? I mean you can do that its Capcom's game but after having the numbered ones be mainline & then show this trailer with the VILL highlighted to make it look like the Roman numeral 8, you backtrack & say its not RE8??? Ok. Makes no sense but hey I'm still getting it anyway cause its Resident Evil my favorite game series of all time.

I'm not a huge public relations expert, but I'm pretty sure like rule number one is you never change the name of your product after a big reveal. Oh well.

What a crappy marketing move. Everybody knows official series titles sell better than spinoffs. Had you kept your trap shut, sales would've skyrocketed. But now that you mentioned it's not 8, enjoy a dent in sales.

So it's basically Resident Evil 7-2.

Lets just piss everyone off and call it Resident Evil VIII Age

Ah sure that's no good so when are they going to make Resident Evil 8? 😁

Read some interesting theories that this is actually a sequel to Revelations 2.

* Internal confusion intensifies *

I mean they did the exact same thing with the RE7 title, so I don't know why this is even being discussed lol

Capcom: "It's not Resident Evil 8."

Everyone: "But... the Marketing highlighted the Vill in Village to call out the Roman symbol for 8."

Capcom: "Well... f*ck....."

So its RE8 then? Okay. Bye.

Resident Evil 7 started off well and then I became bored of it.... like all Resident Evils. It’s hard to keep suspense for that long, which is why P.T is my favourite horror game of all time. You can only do it for a few hours at the most.

I already call it VILLAGE, but make no mistake, this is Resident Evil 8. I guess you could call it Resident Evil VIII, and sound those ais. 🤪🐝

Capcom trying to explain the numbering of their games is like Trump trying to explain his plan for....well anything

im sure in 10 years they will see light and on steam it will be called resident evil 8 village. there was that article about the game names being fucked up with some having random big letters and subtitle as first word etc but then it got fixed

When you try to make something sound far more deep than it ever was or will be. It's RE8, so f**k off.

You don't stylize it Resident Evil VIIIage for no reason. Stupid marketing bulls**t.

They literally highlighted the Vill in village to show the 8 in roman numerals in the trailer. I suspect this is highly mistranslated nothing and these people said no such thing.

I never really played these games for their story or characters and don’t care if its RE 8, 10, 12 etc.. their focus should just be on making the best RE game ever made while fully utilizing next gen hardware.

Just please god don’t make it like RE7…I don’t do running, and I don’t play hide and seek, and cutscenes should be kept short & sweet.. like only before a boss battle.

RE2 was a step in the right direction but still felt like a PS1 game with better graphics. At least the setting of this game looks more interesting.

Capcom be messin with my gamer brain... Not kool Capcom. Please... Just make it memorable in some ways and about as epic as the resident evil 2 remake. And of course... Don't waste your time tacking on some lame multiplayer no one asked for that has bullcrap mtx in. Do that and you'll get some money from me and many others : )

They didn't insist on anything. They literally said they'd be happy if fans could remember Village. They didn't in any way claim it wasn't Resident Evil 8 or that it shouldn't be called that. They even said there's no official abbreviation. They just hope Village is memorable.
