Meh....Resident Evil fell off long time ago if we are not counting the remakes. RE4 was the beginning. While the game was really well made, a lotta hardcore RE fans did not agree with the changes...anyway that game was great no doubt....but the rest of them that came out after it? Meh....lost that scary horror factor and became more of an action type of game than slow stealth horror.
This is why I so enjoyed RE2 remake, cause it felt like a proper Resident Evil again.
If this will be open world game? Then no...You can't make open world horror games lol it beats the entire purpose of horror.
