Would you buy a Resident Evil 7 Switch port?

No.

I played Resident Evil when it first launched on PS1 and became a massive fan of the franchise until RE4 when it became something entirely different. RE7, like RE4 before it, is not, in any way, shape or form, a Resident Evil game. It is a new IP with the name Resident Evil and some themes slapped on to sell more copies.

You clearly haven’t played the game, and center your opinion of it on the change from third person to first person gameplay.

Because I, too, have been a fan of the series since 1997, and VII is the closest to the roots the games have been since Code: Veronica.

Define "roots". I'm talking music, gameplay, puzzles, structure. I'm not talking themes. RE7 is Capcom going "Hmm, this game Outlast is doing well. I wonder if we slapped RE on top of something like that, if people would buy it again". And... you did. Bait taken. Goal accomplished.

When they make another game that PLAYS and FEELS like Code Veronica or RE 2, I'll jump right back on board. But part of me knows that is never going to happen.
