"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."Huh, so out new protagonist is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Outbreak.

GUNDAMU GUNDAMUtimeline wise: assuming it's not another Time Skip set in 2030s like in the Distant Finale of Resident Evil village as well as the Shadows of Rose, im thinking 2026 and Alyssa died in 2018 (according to the newspaper in Resident Evil 7 with her name on it, she was still alive in 2016. Resident Evil 7 is set 2017)
It was certainly unexpected.
Though considering we did get Outbreak references in 7, it seems Capcom was building up to it.
I suppose the only thing crazier than Outbreak being acknowledged is Ingrid appearing in a canon Street Fighter game......oh wait!
One Strip! One Strip!I mean, Racoon City is a pretty huge in-universe thing. It's the first mass outbreak in the franchise, that 3 main characters were caught up in, and it lead to the destruction of Umbrella and an entire damned city being nuked into submission on American Soil.
Plus, the fact that there are at least 3 stories about it (2, 3, and Outbreak) shows that there was probably a lot going on during that time.
I believe this is the first time we're not dealing with a flashback, but canonically moving the timeline forward and showing what the smoking crater that was once Umbrella's most important city is doing right now.
I want to know, what the hell is even going on there, considering that there can't be much virus material left in that area.
One Strip! One Strip!

Having tried that mode myself, I ended up convinced that the reason it took that many bullets, was because the monkeys bones had been T-virus enhanced and harder to break, and being skin and bones, they where just hairy fleas with thumbs at this point.
