Capcom has talked about what it hopes to do with Resident Evil 7, confirming the existence of the game in the process.
Speaking to MCV, former Capcom marketing boss Michael Pattison explained that fan feedback to the lacklustre Resident Evil 6 means the next entry will mark a return to the survival horror roots of the franchise.
"We have obviously seen the consumer response and the PR response," he said. "There was some great positives out of that, but it was a mixed bag, as we saw from the review scores. We have got to take that on-board, we can't ignore that, and we have to take that onto the next game when we make the next Resident Evil.
"With Resident Evil 6 specifically, we probably put too much content in there, there were comments from consumers that said it felt bloated. The Leon missions went down very well, and because we did Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS, there was a cry out for us to focus our attention on survival horror, rather than be too many things to all people. You’ll find where we go next will likely be more targeted at our core fanbase.
"A lot is said about the saturation of this zombie, post-apocalyptic survival horror. But it is still alive and well. The Last of Us shows a good direction of what the consumers want. Tomb Raider as well, we spoke to R&D and they looked at that and they enjoyed that experience. I think that proves there is still a strong market for that sort of content."
What do you reckon, would you like to see Resident Evil return to its roots or do you think Resident Evil 6 gets an unfair level of criticism? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
