Dusk Golem: Resident Evil 7 ,8 and 9 is a Trilogy With Huge Connections and Capcom could Potentially Go Away From Number Entries Afterwards
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
4 is a sequel to 3 and doesn't play the same. Could be the same.
Other than Ethan and Mia, Chris is the only character that connects 7 & 8. I wonder if this trilogy will be just as much Chris's story...
Makes sense, since Chris has been a part of or referenced in almost every mainline game in some manner (except for 4 I think).

Not really the same thing since this is specifically being billed as a "trilogy"
It would be weird for 2 entries to be FP and then the last be third person.
I'm actually surprised you made a thread on this, but it's true and not too spoiler-y, so I guess that's fine.
I'll just mention this means narrative first more than anything else, though.

I thought Village was going to be the end of Ethan's story? Bummer if 9 is a direct sequel to 8
This is cool tbh. the original continuity was a lot of silly nonsense that wasn't worth trying to follow tbh
I think the: "End of his story" was supposed to be referring to Chris.
Since I feel like that would be a weird tagline for a character who only ever had 1 game before.
You can have a direct sequel without it being about Ethan. It's not set in stone after all
I generally like Dusk Golem, I think he means and I believe his inside connections, but this feels like common sense, especially after the RE8 leaks.

Makes sense, RE7 still had a bunch of unanswered questions and Village will probably introduce more. Like we still don't know who "The Connections" are and stuff like that.
Glad they're keeping Wesker dead, although there's still that nonsense in Umbrella Corps. Jake is probably another one hit wonder but maybe they'll go back to some of the other RE6 threads in Revelations 3 or something.

Really hoping Ethan isnt the RE9 protagonist.
Capcom would have to do some heavy lifting to make him an interesting character after RE7.

If they move away from numbered entries I also wonder if they'll move away from how each seem to operate in a trilogy? 1-3 are all pre-rendered survival horror, 4-6 are over the shoulder with more emphasis on action, and 7-9 move back to more survival horror but in first person.
I like the idea of self contained stories. Was actually hoping that was the route the series was going to take since 7, but Ethan is bland enough that it almost works here.
With RE8 being the end of "Someone's Story" as per the first trailer. I don't think RE9 being FPS is locked in (Not that I care what style it is)
Will probably be released in 2025, with other side entries sprinkled in between. Yeah it's gonna be a while lol
dinosaur horror
How exactly is Dusk Golem allowed to tweet extremely confidential details with no repercussions? You'd think someone at Capcom would notice and at least send a C&D?
If they could do something similar to Virus (horrible movie, great monster design) I honestly wouldn't mind.
Makes sense considering the trend for the mainline numbered games coming in threes.
You have the Classic Fixed-Camera Trilogy (RE1, RE2, RE3), the TPS Action Trilogy (RE4, RE5, RE6), and you'll have the FPS Horror Trilogy (RE7, RE8, RE9). Then in addition to these are out-of-order spinoffs such as RE0, Code Veronica, Operation Raccoon City, and Revelations.

While I liked RE7, I'm personally rooting for the next game to go back to the awesome third person stuff they've been doing lately (I guess the potential Revelations 3 will be - but I'm still confused about RE8 originally being that until it tested really well and was turned into a mainline?).
Capcom shouldn't move away from numbered Resident Evil games because they've trained me to actually pay attention to the numbered games and ignore anything else thanks to decades of spin-off garbage.
Outside of Code Veronica and Zero, it seems like the RE series shifts its camera perspective around every trilogy.
The first 3 games featured the fixed camera system.
The next 3 entries (4, 5 & 6) moved to TPS.
So, it seems after 7 and 8, the ninth entry will still stick to FPS.

I feel like I missed something and everyone is loosely implying stories beats due to leaks...
Resident Evil 9 will be Religious Horror. BOWs themed after Demons and a monastery setting.
Yeah can't blame them from moving away from numbered titles.
Really glad they decided to go and make a full first person trilogy though instead having 7 be a one and done idea. Hope it works well for them because I'm really excited for 8

No Wesker is fucking fantastic. Wesker was the worst thing to happen to the RE Series, despite the praise I'll give Code Veronica, I'll never forgive it for bringing back Wesker.
RE9 will totally be a return to its origins and be called Resident Evil fIXed camera :p
