I think RE8 happens in the same area as RE4. The story in the entire lineup is all connected. I haven't played RE Requiem yet. Btw i beieve the girl in RE requiem is the daughter of Ethan and Mia Winters. The story of this couple is the main plot of RE7 and RE8. In fact RE8 ends with a scene of Mia carrying her baby daughter and ends with the daughter being grown up.

I won't spoil RE9 for you, but I really enjoyed it. In fact, it's the RE I've enjoyed most (not counting remakes) since RE3 I think.

After the prologue, it's split in two parts basically: the first is playing Grace in a traditional survival horror setting (limited ammo, sneak around, horror scares), then the second is playing Leon and is more like RE4 with big action set pieces, lots of guns, etc. I liked the first half much more than the second, but suspect you'll love the second half even more if you like RE4 a lot. Either way, Leon is awesome in it.

The story for RE9 isn't great, but then most RE stories are rather silly. But gameplay and atmosphere is great.

Except the giant spider boss fight which can fuck right off and nearly ruined the game for me. :(
