While I had some issues with RE8 (If RE7 seemed like it was more reminiscent of RE1, 2 and 3 then RE8 was more reminiscent of RE4.) I still thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
As such, I am excited to see how they tackle this add on side story with Rose despite it looking like quite a departure from what we are used to.
I am also glad that they have decided to go the side story route as I was a bit worried that they might go full on Rose Winters for RE9 after the way RE8 ended. Not saying she couldn't hold her own in a story but rather I think she is a part of Ethan's story and personally I feel that Ethan's saga ended nicely at the conclusion of RE8.
I could definitely see her returning as a supporting character in future entries but her own game might be a bit much and could potentially deviate too far from the roots of the franchise (especially with all her "gifts".).
Whatever the case may be I am excited for this DLC and for any who perhaps missed out on RE8 this GOLD edition might just be what the Doctor ordered.

Id love if they added a 3rd person mode to RE7 too.
I guess they aren't seeing enough incentive for it, but yes they certainly could.
Be great if they did as then all RE games 1-8 could be played with 3rd person view. Dont get me wrong fps view is great too but im so used to playing RE games in 3rd person.
A dream of them offering TPS, FPS and tank control for all the 8 games =]
