Yes, ladies and gentlemen. There is a problem. You see, it may already started or gonna start soon. Flame war between the old fans of RE and the new fans of RE.
What am I talking about? OK. You see, I'm an old fan of RE games since 1998. The first RE game I ever known/played of all REs was Resident Evil 2 (PS1, 1998). You see, The first RE game since the first one until let's say RE6, the element of Sci-Fi was there all the times. Virus, Labs, yara yara yara. The whole nine yards. If you ask gamers where RE series started to die? To suck. You will hear different answers. Some will say RE4 or RE5 or RE6. Somehow it's all true. Apparently, the Survival-Horror died since either RE4 or RE5. One or the other.
We might gonna have two or three generations of RE fans.
1. Those who started the series since RE1 or RE2 (in some case which it's rare those who started from RE3)
2. Those who started since RE4, and never cared to experience the ones before
3. Those who started since RE7
I know a guy who his first RE game that he ever experience was RE7. He would probably give it a 10/10, but I'm quite the opposite. I would give RE7 zero out of ten. However, I recommended him to play RE1 (Remastered Remake) on Steam. I even went so far by buying the game on Steam for him as a gift. He played it. He expressed his thoughts on RE1.
"I wished RE1 had RE7 style" - He said
That p!ssed me off, but since he is my friend, I can't let him know that he angered me, so I let it go. To give you a briefed idea what do I think of each RE game, here is my opinion in short.
About RE8. I watched everything...... and~... I'm gonna rant and call names and vulgar language here. Sorry. I'm p!ssed. Really p!ssed.

Title | Personal Rate | Platform(s) I Played on | Thoughts/Reasons |
Resident Evil 0 | 5/10 | NGC 2002, PS4 2016 | If only this game had Items-Box, it would get a 7.5/10 |
Resident Evil | 10/10 | PS1 1996 | Woah! Perfect rate? Why? Well, Barry is partly the reason. There are so much more I wanna say about RE. |
Resident Evil Remake | 10/10 | NGC 2002, PS4 2014 | Oh my God. This RE I would say surpassed the original. If it had the old Barry, I would give it 11/10. |
Resident Evil 2 | 9/10 | PS1 1998 | My first experience of a zombie game before any RE. Great game. Good old times of 1998 that I will never forget. |
Resident Evil 2 Remake | 8/10 | PS4 2019 | The scenarios have got ruined. All 4 RUNs have same sequences at most. Bosses moments kinda missed the opportunities, and why encounter William G1 in all 4 RUNs? This makes no sense. Lazy story driven. |
Resident Evil 3 | 7.9/10 | PS1 1999 | Nemesis was the bane of my existence. Good great challenge of survival-horror. Although this RE seems to be short. |
Resident Evil 3 Remake | 6/10 | PS4 2020 | Sometimes, graphics aren't everything, and I think RE3 remake could be a prime example due to how they missed some opportunity(ies). Like the church. Ripping zombies flesh in RE2 remake and all that details was fun. What happened here? Memesis was... Sorry I mean Nemesis was kinda weird. |
Resident Evil: Code: Veronica | 6/10 | PS2, PS3 | This RE game. Ugh! It sucks at some part(s), but... eh... it's an alright RE game. I can't beat it without cheating. Gotta unlock that Rocket Launcher with cheat codes, you know. The dialogue are... weird~!... yeah~! That Wesker too. He's quite something, and that Alfred! My God that Alfred. |
Resident Evil 4 | 6.9/10 | NGC, PS2, PS3, PS4 | Call it the beginning of the fall of RE? Or maybe the next RE one is. |
Resident Evil 5 | 5.5/10 | PS3, PS4 | I feel dead inside. What's going on with RE? I need some Barry in my life. |
Resident Evil 6 | 5/10 | PS3, PS4 | This isn't a Call of Duty Zombie game! WTF? RE is dead! |
Resident Evil 7 | 0/10 | Never | I hate First Person Shooter... and FAQ Ethan. Nobody cares. |
Resident Evil 8 | 0/10 | Never | Same reason, and again, FAQ Ethan and everything in it. |
About RE8. I watched everything...... and~... I'm gonna rant and call names and vulgar language here. Sorry. I'm p!ssed. Really p!ssed.
My oh my. RE7 story sucks, and so is RE8/RE-Village. The story sucks. This RE game is a slap on the face of OG RE fans.
Please forgive me for saying this, but...... if you think RE8 is cool, if you think RE8 is awesome and all, well...... with much love and respect I say......

FAQ you. Go to hell. RE7 and RE8 are gay.
Just I want you to know that you're dealing with an old (apparently toxic me fan of RE). These RE7 and RE8 are not RE games. The way the narratives went with this is garbage. RE is not a fully psychological-horror. It was a Sci-Fi Survival-Horror.
