7 started as 'relatively grounded' like the early games but that soon went out of the window when Ethan glued his hand, 8 was pure fantasy start to finish

I get what you mean with 7. It was good at first, then RE8 soured it. I feel like 8 was just some attempt at doing a rip off Silent Hill type world, which was too obscure for RE. Because it felt more supernatural in parts.
Didn't care for it. But I did like Revelations 2. I give that one lots of favorable opinions, and I really think the game had nice throwbacks with Barry's lines. So if only they could revisit the storyline with Alex Wesker controlling the girl, that would be a day one buy for me. Absolutely.

Thank you! I never got the love for 7 or 8. To me they were simply spinoffs at best, RE in name only at worst. Yes, RE4 had its fair share of silliness, but it was a shake up the franchise needed at the time. I hope RE9 is a return to form.
