10 Things We Desperately Want From Resident Evil 8

3. Classic Monsters

Across the staggering twenty-six games in the series, we've encountered all manner of malformed monstrosities and lived to tell the tale.

Some of these monsters have become iconic in their own right and fans eagerly await their return whenever a new Resident Evil game is announced. Sadly though, there's plenty of great enemy types that have been ignored in the past few games.

We can all agree that we're long overdue on the return of the Web Spinners. Those giant arachnids are arguably the scariest creatures that Capcom has ever blessed us with and their exclusion from the remakes of both Resident Evil 2 and 3 was a bitter disappointment for some fans. What better opportunity to rectify this by having them appear in Resident Evil 8? Given the dank look of both the village and castle that we've seen in the trailer, this could be the perfect breeding ground for these eight-legged nightmares.

The brief glimpses we got of new enemies certainly look interesting, but when there's a wealth of already established creatures waiting in the wings, a mixture of both new and old could be the perfect way to give the fans what they want.
