but creating a virus from cave plants (while still stupid in its own way) is more acceptable than whatever the hell Alice became in the movies... cloned super soldier that can burn the freaking sky with her mind...
I mean Wesker who could pretty much be a super soldier, move faster than bullets, block them with his bare hands and shit like that? Game started, movie adapted.
The reason they added the game scenes into the movies, is to get that same feeling from the game, into the movie. They wanted people who liked the games, to see the movies and enjoy them for what they are. Sure, its a cash grab. Which is why I never saw them in theaters, and I tend to not see movies in theaters and just wait for it to be released "elsewhere." for me to watch it.
Not every movie is going to be a thought provoking story, with the kind of action and whatever else you want in it. The first three RE movies were based heavily upon the game, but at the same time, they wanted to take liberty with making a different overall story.
Hell, in the second and third games alone, you get the T-type and G-type viruses that are just nuts in their idea and conception. its not just "Zombies" Never really was about zombies honestly.
Plus, Naming Final Fantasy in a movie format is completely different from RE movies and the games. legit every game is from a different "dimension" or entirely separate time period from any other game. If the games correlate to a main line game, its a spin off. Cus Final Fantasy 7 is no where near in close story wise, or relation to 15.
Movies will be movies, and games will be games. And if we need to be honest, All of the Star Wars games, and extra movies, and other stuff is just more cash grabs of the first three movies.
