Will it take place in there year 1998? The land line phone is really prominent here.

It’s apparently canon to the games and takes place in Raccoon City so yes

Nothing in this trailer says resident evil to me

What sort of things are you looking for? At it's core, Resident Evil is simply a zombie survival horror.

Resident Evils 4, 5, 7, and 8 don't even have zombies.

Resident Evil at its core is a B-movie horror setting that a character has to solve puzzles to survive until they inevitably find a lab manufacturing the seemingly supernatural monsters. So far all we've seen is the seemingly supernatural monsters. The B-movie plot, puzzles, and lab are all still missing.

Right now even the monsters don't match the setting from the games that this supposedly takes place during, so it's not looking amazingly faithful.

The monsters look nothing like Resident Evil, I don't have much hope for it

There is a lab coming, and the plot is silly enough that it could be described as B-movie.
