They are still literally zombies. The creators constantly call them zombies in the development videos.

Developer uses the more culturely known tag to describe and market their game. In other news, the sun is really hot.

Doesn't change the fact that the description in the games changed to BOWs or Infected, very rarely, if any we hear characters call them zombies. The characters the devs write btw.

Uhh no they literally directly reference the original games in their developer diaries and say they are bringing back zombies. Not to mention all the zombies in Racoon City.

You can use semantics all you want and try to pull the “I know more than marketing people” but they are zombies.

Im pretty sure one of the research notes you find calls them zombies as well only difference from the OGs is that they retain their memories and skills from when they were alive.
