What Should Resident Evil 10 be Like?
Resident Evil 10 is already taking shape in the minds of gamers even before its official announcement. The success of the latest games in the series has raised expectations considerably, naturally leading to questions like “what should the next game be like?”. Especially after Resident Evil Requiem, the direction the series will take has become even more of a topic of discussion.
What are the Expectations for Resident Evil 10?
One of the things players most want is the preservation of character diversity. The idea of having multiple playable characters instead of just one is still very strong. Presenting both old and new generation characters together could provide a balance between nostalgia and innovation. While classic characters like Jill are expected to return, it wouldn’t be surprising if new characters like Rose and Grace take center stage.
On the gameplay side, maintaining a balance between horror and action is critical. The series’ greatest strength lies in moments that make the player feel alone and helpless. Therefore, instead of a purely classic co-op, a system where players progress separately but interact occasionally seems more logical. This way, both tension is maintained and the sense of cooperation is not lost.
Another important issue is boss battles. These battles, a point of criticism for years, often turn into mere bullet-proof enemies. Players now want to see more creative, strategic boss encounters, perhaps even puzzle elements. Some solutions from older games are still at a level that can be referenced in this regard.
On the story side, tonal balance is key. Resident Evil sometimes presents a serious horror narrative, while at other times it veers into overly exaggerated scenes. Establishing a more balanced structure between these two extremes could increase the impact of the story. It’s also frequently suggested that the series should progress with new characters, new threats, and new locations instead of constantly returning to the past.
