"Resident Evil 9" director's vision: to scare the players out of their minds and shit

Resident Evil 9: Return to the Source of Fear

The latest sequel to the Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil 9, is in development, and the director in charge of the game, Hiroshi Nakanishi, said he would lead the series back to its roots and bring players back to their old fears.

Hiroshi Nakanishi was involved in the development of games such as Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Resident Evil 7. In his opinion, before Resident Evil 7 appeared, the series had gone off track and brought disappointment to fans. Therefore, he adopted a first-person perspective in Resident Evil 7 to enhance the immersion and horror experience of the game.

"When the player is looking at the world from a safe perspective from behind, the game is less scary," Mr. Nakanishi explained. "And through the first-person perspective, players can experience intense, dramatic battles, which adds to the horror level of the game."

Based on Mr. Nakanishi's remarks, it can be inferred that "Resident Evil 9" will continue to use a first-person perspective. As a director, Mr. Nakanishi's vision is to make the new work more terrifying than any previous work, and to terrify players.

By returning the Resident Evil series to its original fear element, Nakanishi HOOS hopes to attract old fans back while providing new players with an unforgettable horror experience.
