I’ve never played this game before so I was shocked (not really) that gamers are upset because the blonde girl looks like an adult model and not a child, the Asian girl looks more Asian, and Leon is eye candy as always, although I do prefer the old hair with different lengths on each side
Ashley the blond supposed to be the teenage daughter of the literal in universe US President. In the earlier iteration she has larger eyes and do look a bit younger. Ashley is supposed to be damsel in distress and the whole game is escort mission. They just hired 28 something hot model and facescanned her. In the remake Ashley is not as dopey/damsely and people are some reason up in arms.
Then again, this is REsident Evil - one of the horniest franchise in gayming. Nobody really talk about the lore (writing quality and lore is honestly baffling). RE fanbase like moment to moment survival horror and inbetween games they literally just horny arguing about which character they like to fuck or get fucked by and make weird fanon about character relationships.
But mostly because I read the books as a kid and revisiting them now, they're surprisingly good. Caliban Cove is easily the best one, because it's a standalone not based on anything, so the writer just got to go nuts with it and we get shit like
Eh, lore and writing is actually one of the more interesting parts of the franchise IMO. It's less about zambies and more about mutations, mysteries and conspiracies, all of vastly different types which can somehow coexist in the world (with the virology in the games being more or less magic).
It's why it's really jarring to think RE1, RE4 and RE7 are all part of the same universe.
The 4chan hyper contrarian combat brain got really triggered over RE 3 Remake putting Jill in tactical clothing rather than a get up you'd go clubbing in.
I liked silly stuff like Jill's RE3 outfit or Ada grapplehooking her way through Spanish villages, castles and military bases in a fabulous red dress and heels :shrug-outta-hecks:
The old games prior to 7 had only a vaguely realistic anime aesthetic though, and the characters always looked like 3D anime characters instead of real people all the way until RE6, and anime cheese fit that look better. The more modern RE titles have opted for a more grounded look to everything. The series has always tried to emulate American scifi, horror and action movies and I'd argue that they're just trying to make their games as authentic as possible in that sense.
Interestingly, DMC5 also uses the same engine and the same 3D scanned actor approach and everyone still looks just as goofy as ever so they CAN put real people in ludicrous anime getup, they just have chosen not do so for Resident Evil.

Sea leviathans, Umbrella researchers gone postal, and trained zombie machine gun teams.
Also in between the mansion incident and the raccoon city outbreak, Barry canonically kills another S.T.A.R.S agent :officer-down:
