I heard a rumour that RE9 or X or whatever it is, will be called Apocalypse. Supposedly this will be the last chapter. The last hurrah for the mainline characters.
Somehow, I seriously doubt that. Capcom hasn't got the balls to kill off any of the heroes, let alone ceasing to include them in future video games, and other mediums. That's why RE7 had a cameo by Chris, then the out of place DLC with you playing him in the caves beneath the Baker plantation.
Without a main character involved in some capacity, it's not really going to be much of a RE storyline. Which I mean, RE7 really isn't like any RE game until you know Umbrella had reformed, this time seemingly good, and with a blue logo. Or at least they could be pretending to be good.
Ethan was a new face, and I didn't mind that as it made the game feel fresh to have new blood thrown into the mix. But they hid his face, so I didn't like that. Although going forward, I wouldn't mind seeing other new characters getting involved. They probably won't add in so many characters that will stick around, though. They've got their legacy heroes well established. But I do like the idea of knowing more about Redfield's Wolf Hound Squad, and how they came to be.
The only downside is that the games and animated movies aren't "scary" anymore. They can't be. Every protagonist does ninja moves now, with way too many cheesy one-liners and ammo. This is why RE is barely a genuine survival horror series any longer. Only certain entries are horror. The rest are absolutely corny, and too bloody, with a ridiculous amount of stunts and weaponry at the helm. Like how in RE4 and 5, every killing rewards you with more things to kill with.
I mean, even in this trailer alone, you can see Chris firing a rocket launcher in the street. How can that terrify anyone? He is playing it too cool.
I do love RE. But I preferred the franchise when it had way more atmosphere. Basically, before it got to be so Hollywood. However, that isn't to say it's always unenjoyable.
