It throws all this stuff at you, and none of it really meshes.
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.
They took risks with Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies & Strider. As far as I know, the former paid off & are currently working on #6.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.

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).
To be fair, RE makes boat-loads of money.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.

Out of curiosity, how did Strider do financially? I know it was well-received.
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.To be fair, RE makes boat-loads of money.
REmake 2 and 3!!!
Also coming to vita. Believe.
Extremely front loaded first week sales. It has sold close to 5.6 million, which is about 1 million behind RE 5. The problem? The majority of the sales happened within the first few weeks, after people realized the game was crap, the sale dropped quickly.
The RE name was a big commercial success until RE 6 came and completely shattered and destroyed it.
Technically speaking, we already got one.Man, I'd love a next gen MH.
If anything Revelations was much better than RE6. How can you be an RE fan and like RE6 which was abysmal and generic?
Is that 5.6 million number ship or sold, I wonder.
A definitive edition of RE6 would only be exciting to me if it came with a chunk of new content. I think RE6's DLC plans got scrapped or simply never existed (despite Capcom once saying they are interested in making DLC expansion content to bridge major releases), so it wouldn't feel like a "Gold" version. Then again, the precedent has been set with games like Tomb Raider. RE5 up-port would be disappointingly funny, although if they didn't use that move to port Gold content to PC, then it would just be tragically sad. Anyway, I think I do think its RE7. Enough time has passed.
Easy.
First: RE6 is neither of those things. While it is highly flawed at times and there's room for improvement (making a direct sequel all the more appealing), it is anything but generic as there's simply nothing else quite like it in the TPS space and outside its low points it makes excellent use of its mechanics (outstanding pool of enemies, varied environments, interesting/fresh multiplayer design, potent difficulty settings - plenty of opportunities to make use of the layered tools you are given). On the other hand, Revelations is like the ShopRite brand of RE4/5 - it nowhere near the return to roots that the press releases would tell you. More of a cheap knockoff (though not worthless) than a proper successor; it's all promise, no potential. Regardless if you like it more, it is most certainly dumbed-down mechanically in comparison to even RE4, let alone RE6. I want the series and, by consequence, it's genre to stay at its mechanical (and diverse) pinnacle rather than feel pressure from lowbrow simplistic scare-fests the garage devs like so much (plz don't let me down Mikami).
Second: I'm a day-one fan of Resident Evil and I don't really care about this poser nonsense of hating good games because I'm not stuck in bitter dogmatic thinking; no interest upholding the "appearance" of being a hardcore Resident Evil fan and whatever agenda that is suppose to entail. I prefer real depth over the appearance of liking depth. Blah blah Michael Bay blah AAA blah videogames were better back in the old days blah. I'll take the contradicting and controversial narrative that is created when I personally judge each game on its own merits.

The only thing I want out of Capcom right now is Dragon's Dogma 2.
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.
To be fair, RE makes boat-loads of money.
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.
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.
Capcpom me if old.
Anyway, according to the article below, Capcom is planning to announce a big title for PS4 at this year's E3, and it looks to be a new installment of the Resident Evil series.

There are other stuff mentioned as well but my Japanese language sucks so if anyone wants to translate, feel free to do so and I'll add them here.
