Good call, apparently he himself was clear that he wanted captaincy. Check this report If this was indeed the reason good call by BCCI.

I know everything about RE Universe bro. Played the Original RE 2 & 3 aswell on PSone. But I would rather play RE2+3 after 7 to give the same format a break. RE8 after those. Technically also I usually prefer playing older games first. Have Already Played Dead Space Remake. AW2 is must for me.. Don’t have PC.

I tried the mod for PCVR on Quest 3. Its not official, still an awrsome experience.

If possible play RE8 after RE7 since it's a direct sequel to RE7 story-wise! RE 2+3 are their own games and those characters don't come in this game (though they are part of the same universe and exist, just doing their own thing during the time of RE7/8)
