I never felt one way or another about the RE7 Chris at the time, however looking back I'm really not a fan. I think it's because ever since 7 we've seen Jill, Claire and Leon all done in the RE engine and they all look great, and at least somewhat resemble their past character models. Even Sherry and Marvin look how I'd expect them to not being a polygon on the PS1. Initially RE7 Chris actually made me question if it was him, and for a while with all the buzz on the Internet at the time, I genuinely thought that was what Capcom were going for, and this mystery Chris imposter was part of the storyline. However when they confirmed it was Chris, I was just in shock to be honest. I mean it serves its purpose, and being in first person you barely have to even look at him, but I'm very happy they went back to RE5/RE6 Chris for RE8. Looks a little older, but still looks like that character, which is what I'd want and expect. I'm just putting the RE7 Chris down to Capcom either not putting the effort in they should have, or just finding their feet with the RE engine. However I'm still not feeling much on the subject of RE8 as a whole, as I'm sure Chris will be 2nd fiddle to Ethan just as he was in 7. God I'm really not enjoying this franchise lately, apart from RE2 remake.
