Resident Evil 8 Wishlist: 10 Things Fans Want To See
4. Bonus Content That Encourages Replayability
Bonus content certainly isn't the most important factor of any game, and most games actually tend to avoid it nowadays - unless they're charging for DLC, anyway.
However, for a linear franchise like Resident Evil, it needs to be included in some capacity. Being able to replay the game in a harder difficulty simply isn't enough, nor is hiding it behind a paywall.
Separate side stories or even funny challenges like the Tofu Survivor or Banned Footage are the sort of thing that Resident Evil 8 should aim for. Bonus content in games goes a long way to making them feel like worthy purchases, something that shouldn't be supplemented for DLC like it usually is nowadays.
Resident Evil 8 needs to be packed full of interesting post game additions and secrets to make it feel like Capcom have really invested a lot of time and effort. Once again, it would also compound the length issue mentioned earlier.
