Forums - Gaming - With A Possible RE7 Announcment Soon How Can Capcom Avoid A Resident Evil 6 Disaster?

Areym on 29 April 2014

I actually enjoyed RE6, especially playing with my bro in offline co-op. It's not resident evil anymore, but whatever it was, it was pretty good and enjoyable.

EDIT: As some people have pointed, RE never really did horror well aside from the occasional dog bursting thru those damn windows and Nemesis fucking up your day every so often. Back when I was 10, it was scary as shit. I finally got around to playing RE1, RE2 and RE3 a few years ago and none of them were scary, in the least bit.

well like i said i never found any of the RE games to be scary. which is I welcomed the focus on action, at least that is something they got right in RE6. If they can't do horror, might as well do something else.

Yeah but with the focus on action, they also had to focus on story, which they are terrible at. The series has become a bloated zombie-based super hero mess.

I'm fine with that

Or maybe.. Resident Evil 6 wasn't even the intended main story line game. Maybe revelations was intended to be RE6 and 6 was supposed to be a spin off, but switched the titles because of contractual issues.

The same thing happened back with RE3 and CODE: Veronica. CV for Dreamcast was intended to be RE3 and 3 was set to be a spin off, but because Capcom had a contract with Sony saying that main RE games must release on the Playstation, the titles of the games were simply switched.

I believe that RE7 will be a lot more like Revelations than RE6.

That would such a huge step foward if you ask me!

At this point the only real solution is to branch the series. Continue to make the action style Resident Evil games because they sell. Also make a more retro RE that focuses on the more classic elements. That way you can appease both sets of fans and set expectations appropriately. Then Capcom can also milk more REs and everyone should be satisfied. The only argument I can see that solution causing is both camps arguing over which is now RE an which is the gaiden.

This pretty much Instead of Resident Evil 7 give us 7 and Resident Evil Revelations 2 xD .

Let one focus on the action aspect and the other on horror, that or just reboot the whole series .

I think it's the smarter move.  Not every game can meet everyone's expectation.  I just hope RE doesn't die because they are trying to fit the same shoe on everyone when there are clearly two camps here.
