WHY is Resident Evil so popular? It's Capcom's best selling franchise by a longshot. What makes it so appealing?

2/3 of these characters haven't shown up in a new entry in over 10 years

>>719263130 (OP)
The characters are more popular than the games
Remember revelations 1+2?
Remember resident evil 6?
Remember the village?
Remember resident evil 7?
Neither does anyone else. But they remember Lady D.

Remember Steve?

Wide appeal and long-running franchise, so had more than enough time and coverage to gain a big fanbase

I understand they refuse to give Ethan a proper face on art like this.

But putting Grace there feels so fucking cheap and disingenuous (which it is, they could have put anyone else).

who the fuck is ethan

>>719265638
Ethan Winters the main nigga from both 7 and 8, games which you may hate and consider slop but which are significant entries and the only original entries in 15 fucking years, a character whose face they refuse to show for immersion reasons but who is far more relevant than fucking Grace whose game isn't even out and could literally be the worst game ever made for all we know

>as in the game, Bela mogs the other two easily

>>719264787
can we take a detour to the CBT and sounding office first

>>719263130 (OP)
Uhhh ethankeks???

It has compelling characters.

>>719265865
>>719266093
People actually care about ethan?

>>719263130 (OP)
Where's Ethan.
Will Capcom ever let Claire or Jill lead a main series game again.

>>719266305
I don't give a fuck about Ethan I'm just saying that putting Grace on there is lame as fuck shilling on what should or could be a soulful piece of art celebrating 30 years of characters.

>easy to follow story
>likable characters
>great gameplay
>games are short and replyable
>lots of unlockables
>the story doesn't take itself too seriously, not even the remakes

True, why not sheva?

Legacy franchise.
Same reason final fantasy is still popular
