10 Things We Desperately Want From Resident Evil 8

So it looks like in Resident Evil 8 we'll once again be taking on the role of Ethan Winters, the hapless hero of Resident Evil 7 who appears to be living the quiet life with his beloved Maria.

That's until Chris Redfield shows up and guns her down. Poor Ethan just can't catch a break.

Whilst we're always happy to have new characters join the Resident Evil canon, Ethan acts more as a self-insert than a fully-formed character and players didn't form the same emotional connection with him that they had done with previous characters in the series. Perhaps Village can turn the tables there and make Ethan stand-tall amongst the classic roster?

Having Leon, Claire, and Jill return in the two recent remake titles was a nice treat for fans, but ultimately we were just going through the motions. Neither games added any further depth to the beloved characters, they merely retroactively tweaked them to fit the direction that the series is now heading in.

Which is fine, but fans of the series are desperately clambering for new adventures with the heroes that made us fall in love with the series in the first place.

Make it happen Capcom!
