Hey no problem. I think people will be quite surprised and have their minds blown when the game is finally revealed. I don't think people are going to recognise that it's a Resident Evil game initially, it'll be a very risky move on Capcom's part but I think it will pay off in the long run. One of the issues that plagues the series is that the games often appeal to the fans of the series rather than new fans or more casual gamers. I will argue that this is a VERY good thing! Though it's rough because Capcom is known to get very greedy at times. Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 shows us what they can do when they are not greedy and have their most dedicated fans in mind where Resident Evil 6 shows us what happens when they attempt to appeal to the mainstream market. 5 was a special case because it was a fantastic game even if it was more action focus. Can you expect anything less when Albert Wesker is the main villain? LOL I think 7 will be a more focused game that is geared toward the long time fans and will bring the elements of Survival Horror back. Rev 2 sets up so much of the foundation canonically to allow Capcom to go in this direction and I can't think of a better villain to push the frontiers of horror than Alex Wesker. Of course I went into that in my article and we aren't days away from seeing Resident Evil 7, we are hours away! ;) Of course that is IF it truly is Resident Evil 7 were going to see at E3 another title. They could of course say it for TGS or the VGA's, and TGS would make so much sense from Capcom's perspective. Oh please no, I don't know how much longer I can wait! Q.Q |
I agree with almost everythign you said here, only thing I disagree is that I believe Revelations 2 managed to strike the balance Capcom has been looking for since RE 4, where theres enought action and horror in there, so if RE 7 is similar to that they could make the old school fans happy and atract newcomers to the series.
