Real Resident Evil is back?!
Can we have one RE7 thread that isn't immediately derailed by nudge-nudge-wink-wink digs about what the franchise as a whole should and shouldn't be?
I said the same thing months ago about the future of first person RE and "fanboys" (who apparently failed to turn up for their precious RE7 which had disappointing sales) told me to shut up. Looks like we know who Capcom really listens to these days tho. So it must suck to be them.
You can defend a game and it have disappointing sales, in the same way you can shit on a game that was reviewed very well by large parts of the commercial media
Not particularly you, but sections of GAF seem to be relishing in RE7 not setting the world alight despite it selling well enough and reviewing great. And trust me, I enjoyed RE7 but it's flawed (that last 1/3 after some time really doesn't sit well). However Capcom changing direction and trying some new things with it is the last thing they should be hung with.
Besides which - take Resident Evil 1 / Remake. Slow paced. Wander round an estate. Slower paced mystery. Guns used but strategically and ammo often conserved. High tension. Some twists. Yeah real Resident Evil is back...
