Fair enough.

I think thats why they are making RE 2 remake actually.They are trying different styles, beginning with RE 7, to see what works best.

I think ideally, they should go on with RE 7 style for at least 2 more main entries and change again, just like they have been doing with RE so far(as to not become stale), and at the same time, make the spin off revelations games the "action packed" RE for the more action oriented fans.Make it all part of the same universe and make events in each "franchise" have effect on the other, but each keeps its own storylines, much like with the relation betwenn the marvel movies and the marvel tv shows.

I want to look forward to REmake 2, but I have a feeling that they will end up changing more of it than simply sticking to what 2 was exactly like. Also if it's a game of seeing which sells better then that definitely doesn't bode well for REmake 2 and that path in general.

There isn't all that much to change tbh. If they carry on with the way 7 is designed, then there will only be minor chanegs made, then we'll absically have ourselves Resi 7 being the main template and Resi 1-3 being long forgotten, so the hopes of a "change" happening after the enxt 2 games won't have them going back, it will have them going forward with 7 and not the early titles.

Ideally I'd love if 7 was a new IP and they return to Resi 1-3 and start over. That way fans of what 7 was like can play it as a new IP and invest in that franchise, while I can carry on investing in the Resi one, but as the way things currently are, I don't see myself investing at all until they go back to what the first few games were like. 

You didn't think 7 played like the earlier games? For me, it felt like a homecoming. The first hour definitely plays closer to something like Amnesia or Outlast, but after that the gameplay loops start to resemble those from the original titles — inventory management, problem-solving, fight-or-flight enemy encounters. Obviously the perspective and setting are different, but in terms of survival-horror mechanics, I think 7 felt like a spiritual successor to the games on PS1, N64, and Dreamcast.
