Capcom is full of crap. The characters are what sell the RE games. Look at the history of the series.
RE 1: Introduced Chris, Jill, Barry, Wesker, and Rebecca.
RE2: Introduced Leon and Claire, Ada
RE3: Brings back Jill
RE: Survivor: Introduced Character that were never heard from again.
RE: Code Veronica: Bring back Claire and Chris
RE4: Brings back Leon and Ada from two.
RE5: Brings back Chris.
RE0: Reintroduced Rebecca
By the way does anybody know where Barry is? He hasn't been seen since RE 1.
Capcom will never abandon these characters. They were what made RE. Without them the franchise would have died long ago. They bring these characters back for a reason. Look at the failures that are RE: Survivor, Outbreak and Outbreak File 2.
