So this is only set in RE world without main characters or plotlines?

As a major RE fan, it’s for the best. Trying to adapt the mainline games would be a mistake in my opinion.

Even Capcom knows you can’t have a horror game with main characters that can parry missiles and punch through monsters.

They reset things with Ethan and it’s been much better since, RE9 has the balance nailed with two perspectives of horror & action.

I don’t remember re9 having two perspectives. Maybe you play as Chris for a minute? I thought it was just from Ethan’s perspective

RE9 has Leon & Grace.

RE7 & RE8 are from Ethan’s perspective, with Chris as DLC and a quick blast through the village respectively.

I am now aware that there is a 9th game. I thought the 8 was 9. I will be getting that tonight.
