Franchise needs to go back to being grounded somewhat and fuck off with the quasi supernatural. The SD Perry books would have made good RE adjacent games imo.

Unlikely, Resident Evil 3 Remake broke series sales records putting it only behind Monster Hunter World/Monster Hunter Iceborne for most sold Capcom game
They had to revise their earnings to make them go up since expectations for both were exceeded. You're looking at Skyrim numbers capcom is able to reach now.
The only way I see it breaking off is if they resurrect Dino Crisis and that takes on the burden of the action genre. But that's unlikely since RE has bigger name recognition.

I don't believe this. Yes you posted the evidence, but I just find it unbelievable.

The article doesn't say anything of the sort, and it's talking about the sales period between september 2020 and march 2021.
3 already sold way less than 2. Even if 3 doubled it's sales in this window, it would still be about 1.5 mill behind 2. Iceborne by itself will still have sold more than 3 by the end of march, LTD. It's nowhere near MHW's 16.5 mill.
RE5 sold 10+ mill all versions combined. These numbers aren't new for RE or Capcom, and MHW becoming their best selling game is news straight from 2018, boomer.
Did you not look at the thing he linked? You'd feel pretty reassured.
You can't even say you just read the headline, it doesn't say anything close to that.

Ok, so I've never played a resident evil game past about an hour. I hate zombies as a genre usually. But, I do have a vague knowledge of the general idea: STARS police vs corrupt bio medical corporation that created zombies/mutants.
Have they done away with that now? So, it's like gothic horror?
Is this game an entry point to the series?

It's still a Resident Evil game. Even if there are Vampirz and shieeeet either Umbrella or someone related to Umbrella is responsible.

So more like bio medical company makes vampires and werewolves through genetic engineering?

Probably? Umbrella does a lot of weird shit in pursuit of developing the perfect bioweapon.

If Chris is involved, then Umbrella is likely involved since he's been working with that Neo-Umbrella (?) organization since that Not A Hero DLC in RE7, right?

Technically, Blue Umbrella (the organization from RE7) is the only legal successor to the Umbrella Corporation, a PMC founded to hunt BOWs and Chris was only on loan to them from the BSAA for that game. He has, according to the leaks, gone rogue from the BSAA in this one, so Blue Umbrella may not appear in this game at all, since Chris has got his own team. Also, there is apparently a second Umbrella Co. running around as well that was introduced in Umbrella Corps. This company is known as Red Umbrella by fans for convenience. It doesn't appear to be involved in this game's plot.

Could be an entirely unrelated third party too. The cult that discovered the las plagas parasite in Resident Evil 4 was totally unrelated to Umbrella although the Umbrella corporation was aware of their existence.

The STARS don't exist anymore and there are more corrupted corporatins than umbrella.
The RE series is and always was about Bio terrorism.
It was NEVER just about Zombies. Zombies were just one of the many horrors created by just one virus out of many.

If any group is involved, its probably The Connections, the terrorist group mentioned in RE7 that Mia worked for. They were based out of Europe (or at least that's were they were shipping Evelyn from).

*insert the obligatory Redfield bloodline joke here because how else you can explain the 2017 Chris timetravelling to 1998? Not even the fabric of space and time can stop this man!*

Since the RE8 trailer came out I've seen some people saying that human/wolf creatures & Vampire like people aren't creatures that belong into RE.
In my opinion these people don't know much about RE. Like What the hell we have Human-plants, a sentient leech (!) caused the events of RE1, human-insect, human-tentacle creatures and so on but human-wolf monsters and people who drink blood are somehow not RE.
Personally I like that the RE series explores different kinds of mutations and themes and this includes using myths & legends from countries around the world. I mean we had the living dead in RE1-3, then we had lovecraftian horrors in RE4 now it's "werewolvess" and "vampires".
I wouldn't be surprised (and hope it's going to happen) when the next game takes place in egypt and is inspired by the curse of the pharao. Some scientists speculate that the "curse" was actually toxins which killed the people who entered the tomb of king Tut. In my opinion a perfect setting for a RE game. We already have zombies so why not undead mummies?

Don't. I'm already getting flashbacks to RE6 and the bottomless tomb pit under a Midwestern church filled with draugr armed with European weapons and armor.
As to the rest of it, vampires and werewolves are hilariously more plausible as bioweapons than you know, Birkin. Anyone else remember how Tyrant and Nemesis were initially genetically and surgically enhanced clones? You know, the sort of controllable, mass-producible bioweapon a corporation would love to have in its product catalogue. The only reason we had the zombie outbreak was due to outside assholes fucking with shit and Umbrella deciding STARS made perfect cannon fodder for a product test.

Agreed. Honestly, I think a Resident Evil game set in Egypt with a mummy theme might actually work as long as they don't go full RE6 "Call of Duty with mutants"
It looks like the soft reboot of the franchise seems to be trying to aim for having each game emulate specific sub-genres of horror from now on.
Resident Evil 7 - Backwoods Horror
REmakes 2 and 3 - Zombies
Resident Evil 8 - Vampires, Werewolves, Gothic Horror
Resident Evil 9 having an Egyptian motif would be excellent IMO.
Another concept that could work would be faeries, as crazy as that sounds at first.
If you have it where the monsters are more in line with ancient Celtic folklore instead of the Victorian or Disney stuff, then it might actually be pretty fucking scary. Set it in some desolate and windy moor in Ireland or Scotland.
Banshees, undines, changelings, dullahan, and sidhe are all fucking scary in their original contexts and they can entirely work within the contexts of earlier entries. The T-Veronica virus seems to grant users psychic powers and what is essentially magic, plus there is whatever agent Wesker used on himself when he faked his death.

So, is Code Veronica stingy with healing items, or am I just not looking hard enough?
I'm doing fine with ammo since the knife is so practical, but I seriously found my first red herb just before the first bandersnatch fight. And since I'm still getting used to the movement, I'm having a hell of a time trying to run past enemies, meaning that I'm constantly at orange health.
Does the game get less stingy over time, or am I sort of screwed?
