I'd rather have entirely new games than more reinterpretations, and would only make an exception for a Code: Veronica remake at this point since it actually needs one.

Dusk Golem: RE8 in 2021, cross-gen, was formerly Revelations 3

I am liking what I am reading, though I still need play thru RE7. I enjoyed Chris' part, need to play the rest of the game.
I hope with they go all out with enemy designs, and it feels more like RE4. You never knew what was around the corner, and every single enemy was fresh and new for the series. Not a single recycled enemy from the series, and they were all memorable.

Hype just fell to zero.
Still waiting for the true sequel to Resident Evil 5 with a Chris + Jill co-op campaign like in Lost in Nightmare and the return of Wesker and the Mercenaries mode...
You are never getting it. Thank god.Hype just fell to zero.

Hallucinations? Like the cancelled RE4 " Hallucinations" version. Or something different?
because id be down for Capcom bringing back ideas from that demo. Looked awesome.

Resident Evil 7 is the third best selling Resident Evil game. So stop that fake narrative.
Because Revelations titles are the only still-breathing, non-mainline Resident Evil games that are currently good.
Revelations 2 was a good game and eventually led to the even better-received RE2R and RE3R, why wouldn't they have been making a third one?
Well not anymore. Revelations is now also hijacked by FPV.
As long as they churn out third person games, I'm okay with that.
I will definitely have my Index by the times this comes out so that makes me even more excited about it. Unless they end up making it exclusive again.
Whatever happened with RE7's VR mode? I thought it was announced as a one year exclusive but from what my buddy has told me it has never been released for PC. Did Sony lock it down forever?

Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 are by big margins the best and second best selling Resident Evil games. This is not a fake narrative.
By this logic Capcom should go back to the stupid combat heavy RE6/5 style since they're the best selling entries in the series.
Fuck that idea
You know, a game dealing with those themes would be an excellent fit for Jill after what she went through in RE5.
Me.
Enough with the remakes already, and especially the REmakes. At least give us freaking Dino Crisis if they refuse to make something original.
Salty as fuck about Rebecca being cut. If anything they should've made her role bigger.
It's kind of a fake narrative if RE7 sells better than a majority of the games, which are third-person. And if it's selling faster than RE6, which had a 5-year lead on the market.
Because before RE7, the Revelations games were better than the past two mainline entries.
I'm down. Can't wait for official reveal and for the media cycle to start so I can get some info to excitedly conjecture over.
That doesn't really change what they said though and I personally don't mind more FPS. There's a reason why the "more FPS" title started as a spin-off first. It's a gamble to bring it back for mainline again.
I think it'll pay off though. Since it'll be more action like Not a Hero from what has been said.
Re7 was a pretty fun ride, I'm down for some more FPS but fuck I'll be scared. Make hook man a stalker character around the castle or wherever it's supposed to be set in lol.
7 was way more scary than anything in their remakes, it deserves a couple sequels and people loved it in vr

Youll have to excuse them. They get very defensive in RE discussions.
Sales figures isn't what made this game. The development of this game is SO much more fascinating than many probably imagine, I'll love to talk about it in detail in the future but can't yet as it includes spoilers and some things better for someone else to reveal.
Essentially what happened is this game came into creation and was kept alive by pure passion of some of the devs. So this game was ORIGINALLY RE8, but in late 2017 it got turned into Rev 3 and stayed like that through most of development. A big reason the game did not go under was huge support by one of the series producers who kept pushing for this title to be made. Others in the company weren't as sure what fans of the franchise may think of it or that it might be "too weird" for Resident Evil.
But as Revelations 3 the game was 95% done late last year basically, it was fully playable and just being polished. They did some internal testing, and the reception to that was far, FAR more positive than they were expecting. People who didn't work on the game but work at Div 1 also played it and were surprised how good it came out.
The Ambassador Test held last year was to test it with more direct fans as they were toying with the idea of it being RE8, but they weren't sure what fans would think. However, the test, plus some other stuff (and especially the fact the other RE8 was years away from completion), meant Revelations 3 got an upgrade.
But the existence of the game has nothing to do with anything, it was a pure passion project by some people on the studio, which managed to be made and was originally kinda' thrown into a Revelations game as it's a side series, but due to circumstance and the actual quality of what was made, it gets a bigger chance to shine and gets an additional year to build onto it, polish it, etc.

Resident Evil 4 -> 7.5m over 15 years and 9 platforms (Not sure why you used this as an example lmao)
Resident Evil 5 -> 11.5m over 11 years and 6 platforms and a Gold Edition rerelease
Resident Evil 6 -> 9.3m over 7 and a half years and 6 platforms
Resident Evil 7 sold 7m in 3 years over 3 platforms and a Gold Edition re-release. Much faster sell rate.
Also dont forget budget and team size. RE6 had 600 people working on it and was Capcom's biggest production. (Until RE2 Remake overtook it with 800 devs) RE7 only had 120 and was a much smaller scale title.

I mean, this all sounds awesome to me and I can't wait to play it, but I'm not a hardcore RE fan like some here. I have some friends who are, though, and they're all incredibly disappointed after reading this :(
