It’s funny because the recent successes in gaming movie/tv adaptations is because they respected the source material. Fallout might be its own story but it exists in the same world as the games. Still respecting what came before. Halo failed spectacularly because it looked down on what the games had for a story. The Witcher failed because it didn’t respect either the games or the books. Even the Sonic movies respect what the games created which is why they’re so successful.
Why do they keep getting directors that still think of game storytelling like it haven’t evolved past 1980
Having watched it and playing almost every game in resident evil series side games included I would say resident evil is pretty faithful. The movie legit plays like the games in terms of story pacing it feels like they put a lot of respect for the games into it. If I wanted to see the main characters go crazy wild in the resident evil world I can just watch the animated movies those haven’t stopped being made
