With things like briefcase inventory management, merchants and its entire aesthetic, it’s now clear that Resident Evil Village leans heavily on the influence of Re4. Capcom hasn’t explicitly shied away from this point either, even in so many words. In an interview with the official playstation magazine, producer Peter Fabiano had this to say：
“you ‘ll notice we took a lot of inspiration from Resident Evil 4. the team has put a ton of effort into creating a truly authmentic feel. there are plenty of surrrises to keep you on yuor toes; players will find a balance of combat, exploration, and puzzle solving.”
