This is pretty much just another high budget, Capcom cash grab game.
I mean, how does this really, in all honesty, link to the overall lore of the series? About the only two connections are Chris being back, as an old grumpy veteran, and there will probably be some random references to past events. Like in
7: Biohazard, there would notes dotted around areas that mentioned things about Raccoon City, and whatnot. You can also find a photograph early into that game, which features a chopper with the Umbrella logo on it. Like, wow. That really gets my nostalgia juices flowing, Capcom.
Um, no!
Oh... and somebody's
REALLY very overweight. Did anyone see the new merchant man who talked to Ethan Winters in the most recent trailer? What a fat piece of lard. Come on, Capcom. That's a bit over the top, huh?
Just what is this Tim Burton, Penguin BS that Capcom has poured into this franchise now!? LMAO.
But um, yeah. This game in general, looks pretty stupid. Everybody loves the sexy looking "vampire" woman with the big breasts. Even the graphics aren't that hot, quite frankly. Unless the PS5 version will look way better than the PS4 version, which will no doubt be quite basic.
Maybe it will prove to be a good enough horror game if looked at in a general, unbiased fanboy sense. But hell, it's certainly nothing like the PlayStation and GameCube era
Resident Evil games. If it wasn't for the RE legacy backing it up, it would probably be considered mundane like all of these first person jump scare games already available on Steam.
Going mainstream is what killed the series, to be honest. Even
Resident Evil 4 and all that, are dumb games as well. RE4 is particularly overrated. That game was only marginally terrifying when it was released in 2005. That game ruined the series, for it moved things in a really crazy direction. It is however, a good action game, so it's certainly not the most crappy of games or anything. But Capcom burned away practically everything RE-like with that game, and now this sort of fantasy-esque nonsense is making it worse and worse by the year. Not to mention, the plot is a massive mess in general.
Oh, man. Something has to change. Even the multiplayer games and side story stuff, is hot trash as well.
