As Resident Evil Village slowly moves through its development cycle, Capcom has decided to take the time and ask fans their thoughts about the game and what they think about the game’s title, the characters that were revealed in the announcement trailer, and much more.
Aside from asking typical questions like which Resident Evil games fans have played, which ones are their favorite, which consoles have they played games on in the past 12 months, the survey asks somewhat specific questions about Resident Evil Village. For example, some questions ask how well does the title fit in statements such as the game being set in a village, if the word “Village” in the title sounds like a horror title, and if it fits the whole Resident Evil theme. Additionally, the survey asks fans their expectations for the game, which might suggest the direction the game is going to head in.
One interesting thing that the survey asks is players’ intentions of buying the game when it comes out. The most intriguing part deals with a potential demo when a question asks if the players would prefer to try a demo before making an actual purchase. From there, the survey asks players about the likelihood of playing an actual demo for Resident Evil Village if one happens to go live.
From a general view, demos aren’t unheard of when it comes to the long-running horror game series. Before Resident Evil 2 Remake came out, there was a demo for that game. A similar approach was taken as well with Resident Evil 3 Remake when Capcom released a demo before the main game launched. Even before Resident Evil 7: Biohazard came out, there was a demo called Beginning Hour. As such, it’s fully possible to expect a demo for Resident Evil Village.
Regarding the potential demo, since Resident Evil Village is going to release for next-generation consoles, one should expect the demo for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Since the game is not going to be optimized for the PS4 and Xbox One, players might have to consider upgrading, or shift their focus to PC.
