So I saw the new DLC for Resident Evil Village and was pretty surprised how good it looked and the direction they took the story in since I read about it and spoiled it for myself.
So I'm sort of "getting back" into Resident Evil in a way but wow, I just can't wrap my head around all the background lore.
So to be specific, it seems like there's a zombie outbreak every four or five years in the Resident Evil universe. It's sort of Marvel levels of crazy on how often there are zombie outbreaks or epidemics that happen in the world. It's a completely different world than ours at this point and I wonder how the government and other people just keep dealing with this?
Do they also ever point to an origin for these outbreaks and zombies in general? I remember looking up some stuff the other day and all I could find was something called a Progenitor virus which apparently was discovered in West Africa? It's also millions if not billions of years old. It makes me wonder if all this is going to lead into some kind of Lovecraftian or extraterrestrial explanation? I know the series tries to keep more scientific and the supernatural out of it but there does seem to be in recent times more weirder things going on in the Resident Evil universe.
For what it's worth, I haven't played a Resident Evil game since I think Resident Evil Code Veronica on the original Dreamcast. I had the first, second and third game on the original PlayStation and Code Veronica on the Dreamcast.
Yes, it's been that long!
