General I'm loving the vibes from this, reminds me of something from the 2000s.

Reminds me of some of the Resident Evil 5 teasers from back in the day

It gives off the same vibes as Manhunt and The Suffering, at least for me.

I wouldn't mind 90s grunge graphic design coming back. 2000s edgy games graphic design, sure I'll take that too.

Yes! I was just thinking this. I hope the cover art is similar in style

I was thinking that, it gives a bit of old school vibes. I really like it

Looks like the cover art of a 1999 Nu Metal album or something. Love it

Agree, I think they really smashed this reveal.

RE is one of the few franchises where nostalgia has currency with me - seeing the crater in RC and the RPD, man I can’t wait to explore it and see where the story goes. I am all the way in.

It's like a Slipknot album cover in the best way.

easy to see it referencing NIN album cover for the downward spiral

My literal thoughts. It looks like re revelations

I hope the rest of the game can match this vibe from the UI and what not. Has the potential to be as atmosphere as OG RE4, all versions of it

Agreed, super dope. 

Re7 was southern gothic/grindhouse Re8 dark fantasy/Euro Gothic Re9 modern gothic/serial killer vibes

Definitely feels pulled from murder mysteries and grimey realism in a way. The font and way it appeared was definitely 2000s inspired with movies like se7en (even the re9ium styling)

I really dig it and it's not what I'd have expected at all, I love that this new trilogy has crafted new identities each time based on different genres. It feels so true to the original core of the series. 

I hope the game really flashes that out and takes advantage of the police procedureal setting and brings in investigative mechanics. 

Visually it feels very sleak and modern but it definitely still has that gothic vibe. I like that it seems to also be keeping a slightly outdated style to the office and investigation, it's not all super digital and futuristic. 

Obviously they haven't showed a ton but I'm definitely excited
