Is this even about zombies anymore?

[Punished Terry]

I played a little of 6 and Revelations 2 and RE2
Even see a few movies.
I have seen nothing about this game, is it about zombies anymore?

[JoCriss]

Resident evil was really never about zombies really but you have the familly Chasing you and later on you have zombie like enemies roaming the normal hallways

[Fatty]

Well seems how the bad guys need about 70 headshots, i would consider it still
about zombies and or infected folks?
(I was careful not to spoil anything in this reply)...

It has never been about zombies. Its all viruses and parasites and where to find them.

There were zombies in it but the RE games were never about the zombies. They've been about conspiracies and viruses. Arguably they aren't even true zombies, they're infected.

Well a zombie is an automaton. Or the un-dead. They qualify for both senses of the word.

Resident Evil was not about zombies? It totally was.

Just because in each game there is different virus and so with it different zombies it dont change a thing.
Even in 4 and 5 you had infected people that were pretty much zombies. Human enemies infected with some virus.

On other hand in this one "zombies" are straight up monsters! Not human at all! Even I as someone who thought villagers in 4/5 were still pretty darn close to zombies cant say that these things are zombies. Not talking about the family ofc.


To me it seems like people are trying way too hard to make it a Resident Evil game.
"This is just like first Resident Evil 1!" ...umm but there no zombies?
"Resident Evil was never about zombies!"

This guy gets it, Evil corporation, Evil Viris, Evil Mutated Beings, its all about the chemistry.

Dont go around throwing book definition of word zombie :D thats not a point.

[Ludus Aurea]

Resident Evil was never about zombies.

Crimson up in here wants to get into dichotomous topics like voodoo magic zombies vs undead and ♥♥♥♥, lol.

[KeathalKrisom]

There are zombies in the game but they're not your typical zombies you'd find in 99% of the media.
If anything I find these new "zombies" to be much scarier in design.

However I find it hard to say that the original Resident Evil games were not about the zombies more like the series went into a different direction and evolved, much like the monsters.

RE7 can be like RE1 and not have the exact same monsters in it.

[Ludus Aurea]

From what I've seen, the enemies in this game are actually closer in appearance to T-abyss zombies or the Raskalapanje from RE6.

Well, the creatures anyway. Not including NPCs and ♥♥♥♥.
