4. Chris Is Evil...Or Is He?

Then we get a brief callback to the first reveal trailers big twist: our beloved series protagonist, Chris Redfield, has gone evil and kidnapped Ethan's daughter.

The information has been sparse concerning this plot evolution, but this is not the first time one of the good guys went bad (e.g. Jill in Resident Evil 5)...and like that instance, we get the feeling that things could not be all that they seem.

There is a distinctive hazy filter placed on Ethan's point of view here, and like Ethan's earlier conversation with Mia, this could be a style choice to represent a flashback moment or maybe a manipulative hallucination in order to pit Ethan against Chris?

Or, the third option, is Ethan's daughter a catalyst for something that must be stopped at all costs?
