"Resident Evil 4 might be the most celebrated game in the series, even though it takes creative liberties with established gameplay norms and shifts focus away from the story told in the first three numbered entries."
"Resident Evil 4 might as well have been a spin-off or a completely new property. Yet, with the possible exception of some old-school purists, fans largely accept RE4 as one of the definitive games in the series."
"A closer point of comparison to Cregger's film is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which was essentially a creative reboot of the entire property."
"I had played the remakes of RE2 and RE3 before starting up RE7, and I'm a little embarrassed now to admit that I initially felt disappointed--and almost betrayed--by how different 7 was."
The teaser trailer for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie may appear as an original horror film, lacking familiar elements from the franchise. Fans express disappointment over its minimal connection to the games, particularly the absence of iconic characters and settings. However, the series has thrived when it deviates from its traditional formula, as demonstrated by Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7, both of which embraced significant changes while still being celebrated entries in the franchise.
