The only timeВ the consumable save items did returnВ was as part of the hardcore difficulty in the remake of Resident Evil 2.В It's great to see the typewriter make its comeback to the mainline entries in the series, and even better to learn that the ink ribbons are stuck in the storage chest, where they belong. Resident Evil 7В returned to the series' survival horror roots, and even that game didn't see fit to bring back ink ribbons. Ink ribbons' omission is a good choice for the latest entry, as it hopefully means that the player's inventory in Resident Evil Villagewon't be filled with clutter. It was always very limiting to carry ink ribbons around and have them take up precious inventory space, while using and storing them generally felt overly convoluted.

The reason why the ink ribbons were dropped from Resident Evil 4В was due to a shift in gameplay, as the series had become more action-focused.

It has also been confirmed that ink ribbons won't be returning in Resident Evil Village,В so players are free to save whenever they want. According to the post, typewriters will be returning as save points in Resident Evil Village,В after being absent from the mainline entries (not counting remakes) since Resident Evil 4.

Typewriters were recently replaced with tape recorders in Resident Evil 7,В matching the game's thematic focus on memory and tapes. Resident Evil 5В and Resident Evil 6В removed the typewriters from the series entirely, as they were co-op multiplayer titles, but they returned in theВ remakes of Resident Evil 2В and Resident Evil 3.

Later, typewriters returned in Resident Evil 4,В but the ink ribbons did not. The typewriters returned in Resident Evil 2and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis,В but their inclusion didn't make much sense, as the game were set in the urban environment of Raccoon City. Typewriter-like save points quickly became a staple of contemporary survival horror, asВ forcing players to use a limited number of saves and travel to specific locations to save progress added to difficulty and tension.

The first Resident EvilВ game was set in the stately Spencer Mansion, which was filled with old typewriters and ink ribbons that players needed to save their progress. A Resident Evilseries staple is returning, as the franchise's iconic typewriter save points are coming back in Resident Evil Village, but they won't be joined by the annoying ink ribbons.
