Resident Evil 9 is shrouded in mystery and has been the subject of great speculation, especially as it pertains to its rumored open-world. Indeed, it's interesting to ponder what direction Capcom will take when it comes to Resident Evil 9's mechanics, setting, and even its camera perspective, as the game is caught between the third-person style of the remakes and the FPS framework of the new, mainline entries. It's impossible to say what RE9 will look like, but it may benefit from some RE2 inspiration, like how Village drew from RE4.
