I don't own a PS4 or an Xbox One. But I do own a Switch.

I bought Batman Arkham City at least four different times. Maybe five! I don't mind re-releases.

If "narrow minded" meant "without preferences". Sorry that it upsets you that i have a taste of my own. I'm not a Mary go round.

I respect your opinion but I felt the same way you did when I originally saw the game. The demo made me a little more confident that RE7 could be okay. It really did end up being a fantastic experience. You might be surprised.

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. 

Resident Evil 7 should be doable on Switch without much trouble to be honest; it's 1080p/60fps even on Xbox One.

Lower the resolution, maybe cut the framerate to 30fps, get an extra million or so sales.

Then again, it's Capcom, they seem allergic to giving the Switch decent support.

You just confirmed what I already said. You have no idea what the game is and how it plays like. It is nothing like Outlast outside of the first person view. It follows the structure of past RE titles (with backtracking, no less), has the same kind of music and atmosphere, puzzles just like the rest of the series, etc. You even have a difficulty mode in which you need cassette tapes (which act the same way as ink ribbons) to save.

You point those elements out as those you wish to have in a RE game, yet they're all there. The only change is, again, the first person view. Which is clearly clouding your judgement about the game. Taking it for something it is not. Play it, and then come back to tell me I took a bait [lol].

I know your mind is made up but this game really is  old school Resident Evil except in first person. I'm like you. I have every mainstream RE since the '96 original. I still have it!

Unlike you, I kinda got tired of the original "tank control" puzzle style after I finished Code Veronica on Dreamcast (before I played RE3 on PS1). I imagine games like Dino Crisis and Fear Effect factored into my fatigue. I was ready for RE4, Revelations, etc.

But back on point, RE7 isn't Outlast, Condemned, or any other first person horror game. About an hour in it is unmistakably Resident Evil and it's fantastic.

Capcom's previous flagship engine, MT Framework, was flexible enough they could develope for 3DS as well as all home systems. Their engineers are likely skilled enough that RE Engine could be moved to Switch, should need be.

See, i don't say the game is bad. I'm sure it's good for those that like that kind of experience. It just isn't to my taste. Like, it doesn't pull me at all (like for example a CoD game doesn't either). I feel apathetic towards it. It doesn't have that RE feel that used to pull me in and looks like a side story. I just prefer to play other things with my free time.
