I think we can all agree that this game is a total failure for the company, remember that...
“The reason is that, despite the franchise has some very loyal followers, their sales are not particularly high, especially overseas.” He went on: “For this reason, it is likely that in the fifth chapter will incorporate certain western touch to make it more attractive to American and European players.”
So even if it is a great game, the reason why it was changed (attract more sales) was not achieved, it did not brought enough new gamers to justify it and it did alienate the "loyal fans". So it was a loss-loss for Capcom.
Looking at this game and their approach with Resident Evil 6: "Looking at the marketing data [for survival horror games] … the market is small, compared to the number of units Call of Duty and all those action games sell. A ‘survival horror’ Resident Evil doesn’t seem like it’d be able to sell those kind of numbers"
Maybe they will learn faster that you can change and tweak the formula (RE3 vs RE4), but a few thing have to remain to keep the soul and flavor of the game, because it is one of the reason the fans liked in the first place.
