That logic only holds if you think a massively disappointing game like re6 could never have negative backlash on sales of future titles.

Chris and Jill's RE5 faces are their REmake faces,
they made Chris's face a bit wider to better fit the buff look.
Darkside Chronicles makes it very clear as you can easily see 5 Chris in it but its obviously the REmake face
A massively disappointing game with negative backlash that went on to sell an additional 1 million copies on PS4/XBO, on top of the 6.8 million copies sold on PS3/360, making it either Capcom's best or second best selling title of all time?

I think Chris has a different face in every RE game that he's been in.
Okay, I kinda like OTT Action Melee RE sometimes too, but make that a side series or DLC and let the mainline games be more like RE7 fron now on.

Capcom themselves have said otherwise.
They explicitly said in an interview (or might have been a behind-the-scenes video) that the RE5 faces are REmakes'.
Chris was aged and made slightly more wide, Jill was aged and made more pale.
6 took 5's really aged it up and altered certain elements based on feedback.
(1 thing specifically was toning his ears down. They also fixed his build so he was about the same size but not proportioned like a cartoon characters)

You should look forward to the End of Zoe DLC.

Personally speaking, I've enjoyed 7 more than any of the others so far

Damn can you let us just eat for one DLC please
Despite how some of my posts may seem. I didn't hate RE7. There were good parts and going back to the older style gameplay was nice. The whole first part of the game in the mansion finding dog heads was great. A lot of my complaints for the game are on the back half and the story along with dumb horror cliches they thought were a good idea for the series.
If anything I'm just more critical of horror than I am action. With action give me my melee moves and what not and it's easier to excuse other short comings. Especially when there is a mercenaries type mode. Horror on the other hand rarely has such gameplay so the atmosphere, scares, and story imo need to be top notch.
I'm still interested in seeing a RE8 that takes the good stuff from RE7 while fixing the bad.
It especially odd when this month we're seeing chris in the RE5 design.
Though going by the director or someone from RE7. Apparently both styles are here to stay in some capacity. RE7 chris for these more realistic RE engine games and the regular RE5 style chris to stay for not realistic stuff. Still odd but whatever.
At least RE7's Chris doesn't look like a bad rob liefeld painting

This is looking good, here's hoping it delivers, both from gameplay and story.

There will be a twist when it comes to
"Chris" AKA Hunk

Such a damn shame. I really liked the tense horror vibe of the base game. Especially the first couple of hours. Jack was in my honest opinion the most horrifying enemy I have ever faced in a video game. Sneaking trough the house with no bullets to spare and hearing him hunting for you was so damn scary.
This kinda seems like they are going for that full on "stupid" vibe of the previous games. It really makes me kinda sad. Oh well, will play trough it anyways since the gameplay was good.

I like horror RE. I like action RE when there isn't an AI partner with you.

That was the initial thought but then we all just kinda settled back on no twist.
However seeing the concept art a few hours ago, im back on team twist.

Was back january chief in glorious FP mode and immersive VR mode, This looks more of the same suiting up as chris and obviously catering to you guys with the punch and kick mechanics.
The Zoe dlc is more for the real Resi style gameplay.
I haven't played any of the other DLC, and I'm really only interested in this for Chris to be honest, I didn't care much for the main game itself to begin with so I'm not really expecting too much of this either.
He's technically had a variation of the same face since the remake. It looks quite different than five, but if you compare them you can see that they used it as a base.

New RE7 DLC with Chris and I'm just here... waiting for Jill to be back.

This Umbrella is in name only and made to fix the mistakes of Umbrella of old
Outside being horror, the second DLC might be quite a shift on RE conventions considering it was partly helmed by the PT director and we don't know how much PT elements he might've tried to put in.

It is so weird seeing Chris referred to like that, its just off.

Both Not a Hero and End of Zoe support PSVR, yes.

Wouldn't worry too much, The Chris dlc is for those R6 fans who like to shoot and punch enemies with no challenge at all, The real Resi fans of survival horror like R7 will be getting Zoe dlc which had the PT producer involved.Sändersson;249147986 said:

Yeah, I agree. ReVII completely fell apart for me after the houses when it turns into a tube shooter. I don't mind action-y Resident Evil, but the controls, weapons, and level design just weren't there.
Probably. A lot of 6's story and detail was hidden behind files. Ones that were easy to miss and contained really huge info chunks.
I feel like I say this every time this comes up, but Resident Evil has always had a huge action bent to it after you get like halfway through a game; the first game alone had you shooting the boss with a rocket launcher.
Resident Evil 3 got shit for being "more action" than the others when it came out too. I get that they got far more action focused in later games, but it's not like action heavy parts are a foreign concept to the series' roots or something.

The main story got real action heavy towards the end. The cave sequence in particular gave you a machine gun and infinite ammo.

Lol "Thor's Hammer". It's like the devs couldn't remember Mjolnir and accidentally shipped that as a placeholder.

Playing through resi 7 now and loving it.
But resident evil 4 will always be the greatest the series has to offer. It's the greatest gaming has to offer imho.
Excited for the DLC, going to try and burn through the rest of the game before I head back to university.

There was? The last thing I know about her is that she sent an email to Barry in REV2 saying she was eager to be back in action.

when you buy the Albert-01 airsoft gun, it comes with Resident Evil lore information. Apparently, this version of Umbrella was resurrected so they can atone for all the bad things that have happened. It was resurrected by the government to essentially make amends by cleaning up after themselves. The Blue logo Umbrella are the good guys and the other colored ones are the bad dudes.
This looks like one of these shitty "fighting" marvel games for smartphones. How do you go from MvC3 to this garbage?
You'd rather he be bare bones like Ethan?
The guy is a trained soldier and has been at this for years.
Yeah, reading around it looks like End of Zoe will be the real RE7 follow-up while this is more like throwing a bone at those RE6-loving weirdos. Odd decision though to market this as the "true ending" if so although I imagine that was set in stone before the switch to more action happened.
