Anyone say Dino Crisis?
Nah, Xbox One owners can keep that game. Give me something scary, something epic.

RE 7 as long as its like Leon RE6 intro campaign and not the rest of that garbage
If it is Resident Evil, surprise me Capcom. Claire Redfield as the star and use survival horror, more puzzles and backtracking this time. Or reboot, or remake RE2. Also, please port the REmake to the PC, I beg you ;_;
For the record I love Mercs too, so the action can stay as long as it doesn't intrude as much. It's just I badly want SH back in RE, and feeling like I have to "survive".

I would argue your options and the enemies mesh together surprisingly well (the cover system being the only outlier, though it can be safely ignored 99% of the time). You're actions have a way of flowing into each other naturally, the game has decent punishes for failing to use them, and you have a lot of enemies with different strengths and weaknesses. It's not a perfect set of puzzle pieces, but no TPS (or 3D Action game) is.
In what way doesn't it mesh (that you could also say isn't true for, say, Resident Evil 5, for the sake of making one's point clear)?

Capcpom has downsized quite a bit, and they are definitely not in risk-taking mode right now, so if they were going to make a next-gen RE it would make sense to release on PS4 if they want to keep costs down and only release on one system.
That said, as someone already stated the article is from Japan so the probably wouldn't mention XB1 even if it was coming to that platform.
Either way I'm down for more RE. Hopefully they learned from RE6 and give us something more along the lines of Revelations.

With hopefully more puzzles, files, a better writer (Dai Sato dropped the ball on the plot big time, except for Parker's character), creepier music and more map freedom.

Agreed on all fronts, but I still think Revelations is the best RE since 4.
Another thing I would love to see is a stand alone Mercenaries or Raid game on consoles. I enjoyed The Mercenaries 3D quite a bit and would love to play something like that on PS4 (with more content of course).
They took risks with Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies & Strider. As far as I know, the former paid off & are currently working on #6.
Out of curiosity, how did Strider do financially? I know it was well-received.
I also agree with the bolded.
Oh I can pretty much agree with you there. I've been saying that Capcom should make both a RE6/Mercenaries successor, and then a "regular" Resident Evil game on consoles for a while. It may be way too much money to spend on development for them though.
To be fair, RE makes boat-loads of money.

I'm actually not sure, but I hope it did well. It certainly deserved to...
And yeah they're still taking some risks but not like they were a few years back. Also a digital only 3DS title is less of a risk than the behemoth (production cost-wise) that was RE6.
RE does make tons of money but they learned a hard lesson when they sold 6 million copies of RE6 and had to deem the game a failure due to the astronomical production costs.

That's a bit hyperbolic I think. Which big sequel released in the last 2 years didn't see a drop in sales on last gen platforms? Apathy for last gen in general probably played more of a role in the lowered sales.
RE7 will do bonkers I'm sure, with next gen being a bit of reset button. People will be hyped like hell when they see the insane graphics Capcom seems to be capable of putting out.

Man, I'd love a next gen MH.
Technically speaking, we already got one.

It wasn't. At least not at a gameplay level. It boasts a novel, flexible, empowering moveset allowing a variety of valid, effective strategies depending on your inventory, cool weapons, and a huge menagerie of enemies with unique attacks and properties. It's a stark contrast to Revelations which suffers a simplifed form of RE5's combat (itself simplified from 4), and a mere handful of foes, almost entirely consisting of Ooze and Hunters.
RE is easily my favourite gaming series, but despite initially being won over by Revelations' return to keys and maps, I came to greatly rethink my view in light of its deficiencies. I think it's a poor RE game and a poor action/adventure game in its own right.
RE6 is one of my favourite RE games, and my favourite game of last gen.
If they go with RE7, I just want them to keep the mechanics of 6 which are the best Resident Evil has ever been in terms of action gameplay. Such a great moveset and RE6 makes you fuckin use it too. If they want to go with the older, slower style gameplay then that's fine too but please don't go back to the old controls, that's all I ask.

So, the new Resident Evil game is going to be an Xbone exclusive, a PS4 exclusive, and a 3DS exclusive. Got it.

Im also a Day one fan, enjoyed 4&5 immensely, and will not touch 6 ever again. The controls alone were a nightmare.
That said, if they return to a mix of 4&5 or even something completely new, I'll be there. Just nothing like 6. Saying it's trash is hyperbole, it wasn't--it simply wasn't as good as 4 or 5.
The DLC for 5 had a good mix of old-school puzzles/survival horror, while maintaining the action. If the new one was a mix of 4 & 5 with a city to explore a la RE2, I'd be happy.
Please don't fucking do this Capcom

I feel really left out of the Revelations love. It was just as stupid and action oriented if not more than some of the others. It started out with a bit of promise, but even that bit of promise wasn't even close to what I'm hoping for.

The more I think about it, the more I think Revelations is being rewarded for offering table scraps of something that has been demanded from the series for a while. That being- an overt, explicit horror atmosphere. And apparently it's enough to overlook the inelegant backtracking, repetition and structural/mechanical simplicity which straightjackets the title.
Yep, but this is Capcom we are talking about. For all we know, the development for RE 6 was a big mess because the great sales that game had were not enough for them.

Completely agreed. I thought the game was decent at times but nothing to write home about. It had a handful of cool moments like the mayday part and nice music but I thought it was lacking in terms of gameplay, monster design, and those detours featuring the side characters particularly the two Michael Bay idiots were bad.
RE6 may not be perfect but it was at least a blast to play and came loaded with content. Revelations felt like a stale attempt at taking the new formula and injecting it with an oppressive horror atmosphere that frankly just doesn't last. Either way I don't think either game is what I want out of the series, but if they insist on an action-oriented direction, I'd take RE6 over Revelations.

With you, 4 was excellent on wii, 5 was good (coop) on 360....
6 just kept crashing on 360, was a complete turd.
They did an HD remake of 4 on PC did they not, so a PS4 version would be easy for them....?

If no one has translated this I'll take a stab at it.
Mentions PS4 launch and something about a reveal event in June. Days they hope the next RE game does well because RE6 was an eventual success. 5.6 million sold. They say Seventh game should be as successful.

Double checked with waifu. RE 7 specifically stated.
Edited my post. I thought this was an announcement by Capcom so I made an incorrect assumption.
