RE8 .

Yeah. I was wondering about all of that too. Everything in the game simply 'plays out' scene after scene, and you're like, "Wow. What the hell is this even meant to be concerning!?"
 
Also storywise it looks like the game is disconnected to canon re lore just like re7 is ( I'm aware that spencer is mentioned in the files but still it feels like a side note. ) while being more on its own and blue umbrella has nothing to do with this game.

I told you that the new game will focus on the fungus from Europe, and Umbrella is an American company, so other countries outside the United States are not under its jurisdiction. This was pretty obvious even in Resident Evil 7.

What's even the point of hiding ethan's face, especially in this game which is more action oriented than re7?

I could try to explain what the developers were trying to do, but I'm too lazy. People just need to accept that Ethan is a character without a face. Even Sato called him that. This has always been the case and does not depend on the genre of the game.

Why did eveline say ethan was dead during the events of re7 when he was having a nightmare? I dont get that part.

Because Ethan died when he was injured in the guest house. The life form that came after that is a fungal copy of Ethan, which is based on his DNA.


It seems to me as if you are in a hurry with questions.
 
I'm not sure what they will do in the future, because the new team can choose any other direction. But I know that now the games of the series are released annually, so they don't need to move the plot in huge steps and write large libraries of files anymore.

I treat Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village as a necessary expansion of the universe, the boundaries of which have been very narrowed due to years of concentration on certain characters. These games gave me a lot of fresh air and attracted a new audience. I even noticed that people found Dimitrescu or Heisenberg much more interesting than another mention of Spencer.

However, the series has never been rebooted, so there is no reason to believe that the developers will not return to Jake, Ada, and so on. Perhaps we can even see one of them in the Outrage game, which may be announced this year.
 
OK. I watched a lot of scenes, including every scene with Chris, like the ending. Chris is clearly a marketing gimmick now. Because in comparison to Ethan, he is kind of a minor character this time.

I didn't think this game was up to much, in terms of the super convuluted story it yields. As a general horror game, it's okay. RE4 fans in particular, will love it.

I am not daft on it, however. It was a step backwards.
 
Wouldnt blue umbrella give him and mia vaccines ( Seen in end of zoe. ) to them before the events of village?

You will not find a person in the series who could return to their original form after infection and treatment. Humans remain mutants because viruses contain RNA and change human physiology.

Also ı'm still confused by how mold works.

Just like any other pathogen that originated from the Progenitor virus.

Why could Jack Baker restore his brain from scratch, for example? According to early sources, viruses can allow life forms to regenerate even from a tissue sample, so, apparently, in the world of Resident Evil, the double helix of DNA contains memory and "blueprints" of the structure of the human body.

I dont think the virus that's involved in this is t-veronica.

Nah. I don't think any of the retroviruses created by Umbrella are related to the fungus. The developers could have implied the t-Veronica virus when they made a reference to the early 1999 and the HCF, but the new game did not develop this line.

Most likely, the fungus evolved in the wild because of the Progenitor virus, and Miranda experimented on it separately. Spencer, who knew her, was not interested in using a fungus that had evolved, but in finding the key to evolution itself, so he found it in Africa.

One of the reasons why ı think that way is cause of moreau's mutation which has classic eyeballs involved.

Such eyes are another characteristic of the Progenitor virus. For example, Spencer's Blob and Pedro's had such eyes as well, but they didn't mutate due to the G-Virus.

The C-Virus came much later, when people used viruses that were designed for human evolution and weaponized them.

About duke; are we supposed to treat him as purely gameplay mechanic just like merchant in re4? Or more than that?

The game mentions that the Duke did business with Dimitrescu, so he exists as a character. Moreover, he mentions his old friend from Resident Evil 4, so maybe the world has a supranational union of neutral merchants, lol.

***

Apparently, at some stage, the developers planned Ada Wong, but she does not particularly fit this narrative, so, apparently, her role was insignificant:

Whenever Duke shows up, it's like Ethan is dreaming about him. It feels psychedelic. 🤔

I like how he was actually more of a character than the other merchant was.
 
I’m deeply saddened to say this but I am not enjoying this game very much. After playing through the entire series, this feels like the biggest departure since RE4... but much worse.

I have only finished up to the Dimitrescu Dragon Boss fight as I am writing this but will post my final thoughts once I finish the game.

I am glad someone has the balls to say this. ;)

While I think the game is enjoyable as a general horror game or just a game with action adventure elements, it's just NOT worthy of being called a Resident Evil game. Yet do know that GameFAQs, IGN and all that are shilling this into the ground. :(

Basically, the concept of not seeing Ethan's face is incredibly dumb. Even in his house, the photographs on display obscure his face. It's just stupid. Chris doesn't even seem like the same guy anymore. I've always felt he was merely added for continuity reasons, or fan service. Otherwise, this doesn't make the world of sense, because vampires don't belong in the series. Let Capcom know this by breaking as many windows in the daylight as possible. :p
