I see two problems. First, I really do not believe that tons of people were clammoring for Dice to make its next Battlefield game set in WWI. There was interest and excitement once it was rumored and later got announced, but honestly the idea was so out there most people assumed that no publisher would even try. The time period presents a lot of challenges for making a fun game. Same can (generally) be said of RE7. After RE6, fans of the series universally agreed that the series needed a change, but who was saying it should go first person? Anyone arguing that either BF1 and RE7 should be the way they ended up at the time of their conception would have been a massive outlyer.
Secondly, both of those games are well liked by both their audiences and critics (BF1 was maybe my favorite game last year)... so are they really examples of what you're talking about?
