Set 14 years after the zombie apocalypse and focusing on new characters. Kinda disappointing. I mean I'll watch it, and it'll probably be pretty good, but it sounds more like a strange Resident Evil fanfic, and it's hard to get excited for that.

I'll watch it but expecting it to be ass.

I thought it looked pretty good.

Resident Evil is rich with material. It is one part horror and one part Mission Impossible with monsters. Even at its very worst the characters are at least interesting. Such a shame that every adaptation wants to distance itself from the source material as much as possible.

Yup, and I've long ago given up on the film franchise of it. And not interested in this.

Guillermo Del Toro feels like the only person who might understand the arcane gothic elements of the games and how to translate it to film.

Looks better then the recent RE reboot movie, budget wise. But in terms of familiarity I would have no idea this was a Resident Evil show if it wasn't for the name. Tbh I wish the Arklay TV show got made instead.

You still have the CGI cartoons, which is direct Canon.

They better have Lord Salazar and the giant witch woman.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I'd watch if Jake Mueller and Sherry Birkin pop up. They were my favorite team from RE6.

To be fair, the second trailer does look good tho. Objectively speaking.

So bizarre how every adaption misses the point. No one actually wants a Zombie apocalypse. Every game goes out of its way to limit that. Even 7 which was arguably the closest one, still on had a few natons have public outbreaks

7? Did you mean 6?
