Look how REmaster and Zero sold,
You literally can't make a better Resident Evil than REmake(It didn't do well originally as an exclusive) and even a half priced remaster of it is only doing well.

I hope they at least use RE6's combat system in a new game, maybe that Umbrella Corps one. I haven't seen much footage of that. The problem is RE6 has the most dogshit campaign I've ever played. It's SO poorly designed in nearly every single way that makes it feel like its trying to actively ruin all the fun parts of the game. It's total, total shit.
The way I see it, they can still continue RE in three forms -
1. RE7 route of first person, modern gaming inspired horror
2. Old School RE will be kept alive via Revelations, RE2 remakes and re-releases of Remake, CV, Zero etc
3. Action RE will continue in Umbrella Corps and likely more, 5 and 4 coming to PS4/XBO
So everyone should be happy. But that won't happen.
You're nuts. RE is Capcom's biggest series, its still a relevant name due to the movies and constant re-releases and even mediocre games like RE0 manage to do gangbusters when re-released. RE5 and RE4 releases on PS4/XBO will end up selling a ton. Resident Evil is a series people know.
And considering Capcom's rather dire financial straits, they don't necessarily need to have it sell 10m copies because they don't have 600 people working on it like RE6, at least I would assume.
...What are you talking about? REmake on PS4 smashed records and did extremely well for Capcom. Zero is a pretty bad game and it still sold well.

Combat? Resource Manangement? puzzles? impossible.
Reading the reveal thread a bunch of gaffers said it was just a slow walking simulator where all you do is hide

Yeah, unfortunately, a bad side effect of this RE7 new direction is it's brought up a lot of the bullshit elitist from "old school" RE fans. For the most part that had subsided over the last year or so, but I guess a lot of them were just waiting for something to bring out that shit again.
I never would've guessed that they would drastically change the direction of RE a second time. It's such a bold and exciting thing to do. Mikami would be proud.
SETTING THE TONE
It's sounding like a great direction for the series. I'm really looking forward to this.

listen to the mad man
How you can tell this is a shitty clickbait article title: Because there are not 13 real items in the list, but clickbait demands that if the list has an unusual non-multiple-of-5 number that psychological engagement is higher so they stretch it out to 13.
Fuck Buzzfeed, fuck shitty click lists, and I hope the person writing this weighs their culpability in making the world a dumber place against their need to pay the bills.

I loved RE4 but to me the series was going downhill fast. Yes I'm glad they are making big changes to the series. It's also funny that people who loved the departure 4 took and continued with 5 and 6 seem so upset that they are doing something different again.

I don't think you can really compare a remaster of a remake and zero remake to a new title. There will be a huge push for this game that those games didn't get.

So they are going back to actual horror. Good for them and good for us.

14. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THE FINGER DO!!!!!!!!!?????
Thanks for the vote of confidence but as a VR owner I may be viewing this differently than most. I am putting aside my disgust for the first person viewpoint because I will play this in VR and that may change my opinion a bit if I was just playing it normal. That said I am still a RE fan at heart and if this doesn't do the series justice I will be pissed. But something about it makes me think everything is going to be ok. I bet the first time we see locked doors, keys, random fountain puzzles and awesome monsters we will all be excited.

Still curious what they have for action fans. I doubt Umbrella Corps is the only game.
It's fine if you feel that way, but there's really no reason to be an elitist asshole about it or anything, that was mainly what I was talking about.

I will definitely give you that, RE6 had to be an absolute nightmare budget wise.

It's not so much that as it's that resident evil went through a significant change with 4 and lots of people in the gaming community acted as if the classic games were dated and a product of their time. I.e. outdated/unplayable games.
This return to a more classic style shows that there is room for both types of RE games. It's a good thing for everyone.

It won't be. Anyone thinking RE7 will stop Capcom from making more classic/action REs whether those be new or remakes is deluding themselves.
Literally number 1 on the list smh.

13 interesting facts about salt.
They must be pouring most of their resources towards RE2make anyway, so as a fan I don't mind this experimental approach.
I wasn't talking about you (unless you have been in the past? I don't know), just generally. It's a nasty little attitude that really shit up RE threads to the point of them being worthless for quite awhile. Seemed like we were getting away from that, but it seems some want to try and bring it back.

Its a soft reboot, ala God of War,
if it does not work they can always go back to the old characters and situations without throwing away the canon

The tone of the demo single handedly sold me on buying a PlayStation VR. I feel like it's something I have to absolutely experience in VR.

We saw PT and were like, "...we can do that!"
I don't think I'm on board this one. PT's ability to be really trippy and provacative was the selling point for me.

Rather like the sound of this. Making each enemy horrifying and nervewrecking to face and I'll be satisfied.

6. Maintaining Mystery Is Crucial
That is really exciting to read. When the first game out, it was a total mystery playing it for the first time. Something I really liked about it.

Probably gonna star Leon considering the CG movie and the cast of previous games
RE 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. But they can't go back to those kinds of mechanics, they have to modernize. PT showed us what that could be like and now RE7 is taking that and running with it.
That and everything that's being said is exactly what I want out of Resident Evil.

Not as funny as the fans of the classic games crying over 4.
Shame more people can't enjoy games for what they are instead of what they think they should be.

you know, that is a very good list, nothing wrong with expanding and differentiating the series.

Can you really not see how popular something like P.T. was or how games like Slender or Outlast or Amnesia and imagine that wouldn't get Capcom thinking? As you say they are reacting to the rise of Twitch/YouTube "influencers" but thats not inherently a bad thing. They are just following a market trend, and the game will likely be successful for them.

Really hate this idea that first person horror is somehow invalidated because of fucking Youtubers.
They're not making a new IP. The teaser alone is the most Resident Evil feeling thing in a long while. The ingredients are there. It's just a perspective.
