Resident Evil 7: Voice Your Opinion

Resident Evil 6 is the last straw and fans are demanding Capcom to stop forcing their crap into the game. Ever since RE4, the game has lost its thrill factor and became more action oriented. The storyline gets lamer by the second and the fans are not at all amused on the matter.

[badboy776]

Make it a PS4 Exclusive!

[LackTrue4K]

They need to add more boulder punching like in 5!
Lol

[abzdine]

RE5 is still the one that sold most, so no matter what you say they will still make shit like RE4,5 and 6.
They can still keep making them but just as spin-offs.
Going back to the roots and give a complex world with puzzles and exploration is the only way to win me over again...

[UltimateMaster]

People will hate it without even playing it like they did with RE6.

[zeee]

errmm... actually no. people hated it because the game sucked! not everyone is a mindless hater you know. some of us do keep an open mind.

[KonsoruMasuta]

That really wouldn't stop the game from being crap. It would just be crap that's exclusive to a great console.

Capcom is going to need to do a whole lot more than that to redeem the franchise.

[lnvisibleMan]

They need to bring back spiders, sharks, giant snakes and man eating plants. You know the very things that prompt an animal control officer to retire.

[Max-Zorin]

Exclusivity won't make the game any better. Plus the last few Resi games have been on multiple platforms. Suddenly making it exclusive to one would be stupid.

[badboy776]

Resident evil started out as a PS franchise. Sony wants to bring that PS1 vibe back with the PS4. So making Resident Evil Evil an exclusive and marketing right would be huge!!! Take it back to it roots.

[CocoWolfie]

*cracks knuckles* time to get to work :')

[OtakuDome]

I hate to be "that guy", but can we get an AI partner who doesn't suck in-game? I still shiver at the memories of Shiva from RE 5, good lord she was a horrible partner.

[rustyspoon80]

Get rid of the AI partner completely. Or have a separate co-op mode if they must.
Then go and play RE1-CV and see what real Resi games were about.
Resident Evil isn't COD and shouldn't try to emulate it.

[donwel]

A separate co-op mode, released on disc but only accessible if you pay extra, a-la RE5 versus mode.
Honestly I used to love this franchise :(

[AsimLeonheart]

Why do we have to have a partner at all? I dont know why that partner thing has become a requirement for RE games. Solo character games are much more tense and scary like the older RE games. Two characters continuously chatting and helping each other ruins the atmosphere and tension.

[kayoss]

I wouldnt oppose a remake of resident evil one with better graphics. Resident evil one was the first horror game that made me shampoo my hair with my eyes open and made me constantly check behind the shower curtains to see if anyone is standing behind it when i was younger.

[NarooN]

They already did a RE1 remake on the Gamecube, and the graphics still hold up well today, really. Another remake would be redundant, but would hilariously show how desperate Capcom is and would be them admitting how terrible the series has become.

[GentlemenRUs]

Pfft, If there is a 7th... I'm not buying it.

I fell for that scam back with 6.

[Jimneous]

I say no more AI partners, having someone following you around takes a lot of the scare out of the game. Also bring back the original threat, go back to Raccoon City, don't let the virus progress to the point of the las plagas keep it zombies. Essentially take the amount of zombies from Dead Rising and drop them in Raccoon City and bring back the real Umbrella.

[AsimLeonheart]

I agree. Furthermore, I think the series needs a reboot. Capcom have driven it into the ground and now it isnt possible to go anywhere with the current mess of a story. Too many characters, too many arcs and too many villains. The story has lost its purpose and focus after the death of Umbrella. Moreover, the characters themselves have become used to the zombies and creatures. Killing zombies and monstrosities has become a routine days work for all of the characters. They arent scared or worried so why would the players be?

[CLOUD1983]

In my opinion the best for RE at this state is a fresh start so I would like to see a reboot with entirely new characters & the protagonist better be some rookie that never face zombie hordes before, also bring back old school gameplay & fixed camera angles with few words bring back scares! & we want to fight zombies plz no las plagas or ghost or any other kind of stupid hybrid monsters, focus on "zombies" & make it hard & make it the kind of game it was when all start -> "Survival Horror" so we need scares we need old school gameplay with fixed camera angles & we need to struggle to survive from start to finish CRAPCOM must especially concentrate on this field on survivability cause we forget what the word even means with the last 2 games...

EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot to say something, FCK CO OP!!! NO MORE FORCED CO OP!!! DO U GET THAT CRAPCOM? THE SERIES TURN TO SH1T WHEN U FORCED CO OP ON US SO STOP DOING THAT!!!

[esemce]

Well as we can't trust Crapcom our best bet will probably be this :

[CLOUD1983]

Survival Horror is my 2nd most favorite type of games after JRPGs & I haven't play a good survival horror for a loooong time now so Evil Within is one of my most anticipated game currently & I don't want to ruin it by watching gameplay videos I'm sure that is going to be gr8 I don't want to see anything I want to experience it with fresh eyes w/o know what to expect :)

[Parasyte]

No more AI partners, get back to the atmosphere of the original RE games. I think a modern RE with gameplay similar to 4 but with the atmosphere and story elements of the the GameCube remake of RE1 would, for me, be the perfect RE game.

[Tiechie]

Remake resident evil 1 2 3 into one game. Keep the same levels but different puzzles, to at least make it fresher then a full out copy of the first 3. Then start again with 4 5 6 change the story keep it more in line with the first 3. No more zombie gun men and super men.

That's the only thing I can think of which would help to keep resident evil going. The story in the last 3 games was a bit crap, 4 wasn't as bad as 5 and 6 though.

[Matt666]

Make RE7 like RE1,2,3 and CV was anything after that just became boring action BS, I want to feel that feeling again like your never safe and the lack of ammo and health items making you be caustics around every corner. I want puzzles, proper zombies, hunters, banshies, spiders, zombie dogs everything that made RE1-CV amazing.

[Inception]

Mate, i agreed with you:

1) Focus on one or two main scenarios and scrap that multiple scenarios from RE 6. Two main scenario are enough, just like the old RE before 6 (RE 1,2,3,4,Code Veronica,etc).

2) It's time to introduce new characters who don't know shit about Umbrella and how to break a zombie necks with kung-fu. Maybe put civillian as a main characters will give RE 7 a fresh survival horror atmosfer. Because all this time, we've got cops or special forces / agent as the main characters. And those people got special trains and experiences to handle bad situations. This time, make the main characters underpowered.

Of course, i don't mind Leon, Claire, Jill, or Rebecca make a comeback, especially Claire and Rebecca.

3) Bring the Puzzles back, like the paintings / the piano in RE 1 or any puzzle from the classic RE.

4) Less items, ammo, and QTE please. I've got tired with the QTE that pop ups every f*kin second in RE 6.

5) No more A.I partner or make it less just for special event. Like the old RE when Jill / Chris sometimes partnered with Barry / Rebecca, Leon with Ada, or Claire with Steve.

6) RE 6 still a decent RE and what Capcom got it right is the control. Maintain the 'shooting / aiming while move' but scrap the jump and take covers.

If Capcom can nailed this than i think RE 7 will be a good RE.

[Bhuahahaha]

its either retire the franchise or reboot it

the story doesnt fit to the original concept of horror/zombie
anymore

[linkenski]

Lay the franchise to rest! It's balls without Shinji Mikami.

[Godmars290]

Considering that the current universe is the zombie apocalypse, I say its time for a re-boot. Either a complete one, or just have it in one place. A lone survivor trapped in a building or complex they have to work their way out of.

[KonsoruMasuta]

They don't even have to reboot it. Jill and Claire weren't in RE6. Where were they when the world was going to hell? The next game can tell us that.

[pyramidshead]

Bring it back to its roots. Do what Mikami is doing with The Evil Within. The survival horror genre is all but dying and has been reduced to point and click hide & seek adventures now which is sad.

Still want a next gen Silent Hill too, made by a Japanese Dev though not out sourced to crappy western devs who know nothing about horror.

[markte]

First thing they need to do is kill Chris Redfield. RE6 was no where near as bad as people make it out to be. Take the control set up from RE6, add the survival elements from The Last of Us, and BAM!! RE7.

[REDBEARD]

Give the series a break. I say wait 4 or 5 more years to release another one and focus on some of Capcom's dormant franchises like Megaman, Powerstone, and Darkstalkers.

[unjust75]

RE6 was by no means terrible. It was however my least favorite of series that being said if RE7 takes a trip back to the gameplay that started it. The game would not work in this generation of titles. What needs to happen is a story that's much like the first one coupled with the 4th. I believe that these elements presented in both those titles could make an outstanding game. Its not about action or zombies its about the unknown. I fully believe that Capcom achieved that in the 4th RE as well as the 1st. Creating the element of suprise is what has made this series so great particularly the 2nd RE when the "licker" was introduced. Its moments like these when confronted with an enemy that you are unsure what to do in order to kill it. I also felt the 4th RE brought the series new life by presenting a different antagonist such as the "villagers" who were not zombies. If RE continues on a path with zombies being the main focus. I feel the series will become like much of the other titles out there Dead Island, Dying Light, ZombiU,Dead Rising, Walking Dead, The Last of Us and so on. Zombies have over saturated the market as the generic villians. They serve no purpose other than to get in the way and are not scary.

[thepatientgamer]

Next to the Resident Evil remake, I thought RE4 was the best one...

[Matt666]

I don't understand why people like RE4 so much, it what started the whole action BS off, seriously there is no horror n RE4,5 or 6 its just became an action game.

[ShaunCameron]

And unfortunately if Capcom does decide to make RE7, they have to take into account that much of its audience only stared checking for RE after 4 preferring the post-RE4 gameplay.

[RosweeSon]

Just be good please, 4 was one of if not the best, resi 1 and 2 were classics, how about back to basics and a mix of the old classic series and maybe 4 none of the newer ones, gone downhill faster than Dead space 1st was great then just got progressively worse, I'm looking forward to the Evil Within, looks like what resident evil 6 should have been.

[XXXL]

Start with atmosphere. 5 and 6 had none. Next is location. Not a damn volcano. 3rd is isolation. The feeling of being the only person u can count. No help is coming. Start with these 3 capcom.

[DerekFlint007]

Here is my suggestion for RE7.

Do not let the designer who thought turning climbing a simple rope into a quick time event would be a fun gameplay addition anywhere near the project.

If anyone suggests adding quick time events, take them out to a secluded spot and play baseball with their shins.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Needs to go back to what made re4 so great with a classic resident evil spin off.

Mass amount of zombies and new attachments and maybe gun customization. Then just tone down melee and all this useless crap that makes resident evil more of a action melee game rather than survival horror

[Matt666]

Ok there was nothing great about RE4, it what started the whole action BS off in the first place if you want horror and zombies go back to RE1,2,3 and CV. Also gun customization would ruin the game even more.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Not true re4 revolutionized resident evil.

And re4 is still
Classified as the best resident evil.

It had great story, still a sense of frantic urgency and not over the top melee combos and action sequences. And what they did with the merchant and customizing of guns DIDNT break the game or make it worse.

It's all about how you try to incorporate things

[ShaunCameron]

After unlocking Infinite Rocket Launcher Ammo while never having to beat the game on Professional mode in RE5, I can't really say anything negative about the direction Capcom went post RE4.

[Matt666]

It wasn't scary, it was just boring action, with QTE's, the feeling of horror survival was lost since you could buy health and weapons, furthermore the story was rubbish, it was no longer about the T-virus, it was about some parasite, even more the game had floors for example the herbs you find are only fount in raccoon city (since there native there) but for some reason they appear in RE4.

[bigboss1990]

They should bring back raccoon city, or do a remake of resident evil 2 and 3 in the same game, but no more bullshit over the top action I gave up at resi 5 didn't even look at six, so till they get there act together I'm not bothering till they bring it back to its original glory, I really hope they don't shit this up :-\

[OhReginald]

haha "resident evil 7: sonic's cycle"

[HollowZbankai]

Remake the series from scratch, as you f*cked up the storyline. All these virus strains!!! We need T-virus, not A,B,C,D,E Viruses

[squallcloud9]

State of decay is really awesome so maybe capcom should buy that studio/publish and fund a big budget zombie apocalypse simulator instead.

[Kurylo3d]

Resident evil just has too many people to monster and monster to people transformations in an instant... like its just not possible. dude turns into giant dinosaur.. then back to a normal dude... where the hell does the muscle and bone go or come from. Just makes no sense.

I mean at least RE1 and 2 had monsters that made some sort of sense... Even William birkin.. took him a while to transform.

Now its just... a game where your not supposed to question these things.. its like magic. lol.

[Shnooze]

I really wish Capcom would either die off, or quit making these fucking god awful games. RE lost all of what made it fun and interesting after 4, and I hope they haven't been too blind to not realize this.

[MadLad]

Look at what made Resident Evil 2 so good.
Combine it with the gameplay that made Resident Evil 4 so good.

Sell the damn thing and remember why people were fans in the first place.

[Tdmd]

Resident Evil grew too big, with aliens and global menace and all... I liked it better when it was smaller. A isolated event in one small town. I feel it was more atmospheric when everything was kind of under the rug: one place went to hell and no one knew about it. I'd like to see it rebooted, maybe with a new cast of caracters offering a fresh perspective to same story. It could go kind of the Silent Hill way, with each new game showing the struggles of a new character in a new outbreak in a different part of the world. Not s.t.a.r.s, special agents or bad ass soldiers, just regular people trying to survive and understand what is going on. If they MUST copy something out, then they should, at least, aim to be more The Last of Us and less Gears of Wars. Unfortunatly, what we will probably end up seeing is another b-movie with a Michael Bay style and budget.

[Max-Zorin]

Introduce some new ordinary characters. It can't be survival horror if everyone is a well trained professional that literally know what it's like to fight Bio weapons and zombies. Introduce a firefighter, a kid, etc that don't know what it's like to be in such a horrific situation. Playing with the characters we're all familiar with won't help. They're no longer afraid. Plus I'm tired of seeing Leon, Chris, etc.
