New Faces Joining the Biohazard Party
Let’s be real; there’s no way Capcom could’ve achieved this kind of tense atmospheric suspense in Resident Evil 7 if they had brought back characters like Chris, Leon, and Jill. These iconic series characters have matured since their debut game appearances, and they’re now certified badasses when it comes to kicking zombie butt. If Capcom was to have any hope of bringing back any sort of tension to the series at all, these guys definitely had to go. I mean, do you seriously think daddy Baker stands any chance facing off against Chris ‘Boulder Puncher’ Redfield? No way.
It’s not all bad, though. The new characters introduced in Resident Evil 7 so far seem pretty interesting in their own right. Ethan, in particular, intrigues me just because I’m curious to know how he even got wrangled up with the Baker family in the first place. Someone must have put him in that house, and I’m willing to bet Umbrella’s behind it. The question then becomes, what is so special about Ethan that this super evil corporation decided to place him in a house full of psychos.
Speaking of the psychos…
