3 was a let down after 2 but I think it does a lot of interesting things with the RE formula. If the leaks and such are believed, having a... semi-open world Raccoon city?.... Will be interesting. It's not exactly gonna be Skyrim but I think a focus on exploration will be quite unique for the series.
I still love 3 though and I'm eagerly awaiting the remake. I've wanted RE to go back to it's roots for years and RE7 (which despite all it's differences, was pretty much the most faithful RE game in years before RE2 came about) and RE2 have given me everything I want in that regard.
Survival horror is the way to go with RE, RE4 is an excellent game but RE5 and 6 almost derailed the franchise. The best thing Capcom can do is what it's doing now, I think. Back to basics.
I've heard rumours that they'll tease RE8 at Playstation 5's reveal event which makes sense given that we know from the leaks that revealed RE3 from the middle of last year that it's in development and if that's the case, I hope they stick to survival horror.
