I was kinda hoping they would reboot the Resident Evil series, the direction they took the series in RE5/RE6 has really put a bad taste in longtime fans of the series. RE4 was fine, from 1996-2002 we had 5 mainline entries and the formula was starting to get stale and the controls outdated, RE4 was a nice change with modern controls and a more action focused style to make the game feel fresh but RE5 and even moreso RE6 took things too far by making them purely action games.
I think a complete reboot/remake of Resident Evil 1 is necessary. It can still have the same plot/characters/setting but bring in the over the should perspective and have a nice blend of horror/action. Revelations is a good example of this, to me it was a nice middle ground between old school and new school Resident Evil and to me thats the way the series should be. Not 100% survival-horror, not 100% action-shooter but right in the middle.
