When asked about what players can expect fromCronos: The New Dawnscombat, Ziba drew comparisons to Capoms horror series, in particular mentioning the combat mechanics of theResident Evilremakes as being a point of reference for Bloober Team.When it comes to combat, Cronos is more Resident Evil and less Silent Hill, Ziba told GamingBolt. New Resident Evil remakes also show us how to cleverly combine old-school designs with modern technology and gameplay standards. Each of these remakes is also a bit different, testing different waters this is a big pool of knowledge from which we can draw to create something that from one way can be similar and known for the players and from the others can be purely unique.Of course,Resident Evilisnt the only horror franchise that has had an influence onCronos: The New Dawnscombat. Earlier this year, Ziba referred to a central combat mechanic similar toDead Spacesdismemberment andAlan Wakesflashlight that is yet to be revealed.
