Rumour: Resident Evil 7 Will Spook PS4 into Submission at E3

I would like to see this series either take a new direction. Or take a step back to its roots.
RE5 was pretty good and I enjoyed it thoroughly. RE6 on the other hand was so bland to me that I traded it in after two days of owning it.
I would love to get back into the RE universe, but capcom will have to do much better than the last few offerings to gain the consumers trust again. I'm excited to see it.

Cool sounds like Sony can bring it to Vita as well.

@italodance That would be awesome if Sony could get this on Vita. They need to show the Vita a lot of love at E3 too.

OT: I hope it goes back to its roots of either RE1 style or RE4. Me personally I'm not really interested in another RE, unless their was a Vita version. I would rather play it on Vita then PS4, because PS4 will have "The Evil Within".

I hope it's true. Even if I did like RE 6 less and less the more I played it.

I lost interest in RE 5 and 6. If 7 is more close to it's roots then i'll consider it. But for some reason i have a feeling it will be the same, prove me wrong Capcom! I miss the classics.

@Clamedeus

Capcom itself was saying 6 would be a return to the classics, and we saw how that turned out. I'm definitely not going to get my hopes too high but at this point, anything that has potential to be announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC while skipping the 360 and PS3 is a good thing. Maybe if Capcom puts its RE: Revelations team on the game it'll get 7 right.

@Gamer83 Indeed. And yeah i hope they do, I love RE and i don't want to see it like this, the games deserve better.

@Clamedeus

If a company can get Tomb Raider back on track after all the disasters it had between the time 2 and Legend released then there's no doubt Capcom can get RE going back in the right direction. I think it just needs to focus more. RE 6 tried to be too many things to too many different audiences. I actually enjoyed Leon's campaign and Ada's had its moments unfortunately Jake's and Chris' campaigns were weak, especially the latter, which was just horrendous, it was a Gears ripoff that functioned terribly from a gameplay perspective. I can deal with nonsensical narratives if a game plays well but unfortunately Chris' campaign missed that mark.

To me, the key is deciding what RE is going to be and then sticking to it. As a long-time fan, I'd love to see it return to its horror roots but if Capcom wants it to be a third-person action/shooter, that's fine with me, as long as it delivers a good one. I didn't love the direction it went with RE 5 but the game was still well made. Deliver a good RE story with great gameplay mechanics is all I ask. Unfortunately it just seems Capcom is a mess in general these days.

I will say this. Resident Evil Revelations was the best RE game I've played in recent memory. I'm hoping the keep it along those lines.

I like Revelations a lot, it was designed perfectly to be played on the go. I felt it lost a little in translation to the home consoles though. But as far as the setting, the atmosphere, even the cheesy dialogue. The game reminded me a lot of old school RE. It was paced pretty well too.

@Gamer83 @JaxonH I hope they keep it like Revelations was while on the ship, the scarce ammunition, scary atmosphere, etc. I hope they can get it right this time around.

@gr8apeb8 - My words perfectly! Except, I couldn't stand RE 6 for more than 2 hours before I had "No Hope Left", and I'm a really big RE fan!
@Gamer83 - Agreed!
Yeah, I also liked Revelation a lot. It reminded me of the good old days for the franchise, mixed with some action and on-rails parts.

Oh God no, after RE 6 thay should bin the game and start again, I'll be sticking with the like of The Evil Within.

@banacheck

There have been rumors in the past of a reboot for the entire RE franchise. I'd be all for that if Capcom put the right dev team together. Just call the next game 'Resident Evil' go back to survival/horror and pretend RE 1-6 don't exist. Worked for Tomb Raider.

RE5 and RE6 were pure garbage, RE revelations was a HUGE improvement and a step in the right direction so let's hope they keep going in that direction.

And capcom, can you please leave out this online rubbish you seem to wanna force down our throats.

Did anyone else read that as Dork-nobs?

If it's anything like Revelations it will be spectacular.

I loved Revelations on 3DS. a beefier sequel like that on Vita would be a day one buy for me.

gave up with the series on the 5th, I've had enough with it

@LDXD Yeah, i didn't like those either.

Like many here I hope revelations is the template for 7 . something tells me though it wont be as it had disappointing sales.7 is probably going to go even more cod/gears style I reckon. I hope im wrong but not holding my breath. ..

I remember when it was first announced, it was said RE6 would be a reboot of the series. I don't know what happened to that but I hope they revisit the idea, because I don't think all of the reboots we've gotten in recent years have been necessary, but if any series needs one, it's Resident Evil.

Lucky me, I love all of the main-series Resident Evil games to date. Can't wait for this announcement! I just hope Jill is in this one, and that they change her face back to look more like it did from 2002 to 2009.

good graphics good trophys then i will be interested
