Resident Evil Requiem's Director on RE9's Narrative Direction
In a recent interview, Koshi Nakanishi draws an intriguing parallel between Resident Evil and sushi, emphasizing a focus on quality over quantity. Nakanishi assures fans that RE9 won't repeat the multi-protagonist pitfalls of RE6, which diluted character development. Instead, he advocates for a more cohesive narrative experience that prioritizes character depth and player engagement. "Imagine there's no such thing as sushi," he suggests, highlighting the need for distinct flavors in storytelling. This approach could potentially reinvigorate the franchise, steering it away from the messy ensemble casts of the past. However, the success of this vision hinges on execution, as fans remain skeptical. It remains to be seen whether this fresh direction can truly satisfy an evolving audience. Ultimately, Nakanishi's vision could be a game-changer if realized effectively. For more details on his insights, check out the full interview. The potential for a revitalized narrative is exciting, but caution is warranted.
