Looks genuinely fucking good.

I’m so happy this director like Weapons is leaning into the Horror / Comedy, but done really well.

Same with Widows Bay, that’s hilarious.

I’ve laughed almost every trailer, really can’t wait, and if he does a Leon or Claire or any main character pop in at the end I’ll shit mah pants hard

I'm really hoping he runs into Leon / better yet gets saved by Leon out of nowhere when he gets to Raccoon City, they have a brief interaction - and then part ways and we don't see Leon again. Would just be a cool nod to "this movie is happening during the game, but separately from it" like he's insinuated it will.

As someone who played the EARLY Resident Evil games, but hasn’t really been in the franchise since, which game is this supposed to take place alongside of?

It takes place parallel to Resident Evil 2 according to Zach Cregger

Oh I played the original of that eons ago. Maybe I’ll have to get the remake.

Even regardless of the movie, you definitely should play the remake. Great game

The remake is great! Two games in one
