With the way Capcom handles their games these days I doubt Resident Evil 7 is gonna be good. The last good resident evil for me was RE4 and that was not even scary. For me RE3 was the best that I can still play and enjoy to this day. Mark my words RE will never be the same again and there's no point in giving this game a chance.

They definitely need to go back to they old routes and release a survival horror game. Love if Barry Burtin was the protagonist in Resident evil 7.

they seriously need to go back to the classic roots of Resident Evil and definitely change the engine something really powerful. Hey I'd tech 5 or even CryEngine 3 that's if they really know how to use that engine to take advantage but if they did and seriously put the time to work I'm sure they could do something pretty awesome.

Rebooting seems to be the best option at this point. That storyline has reached the point that it just makes no sense. Reboot and focus on the eerie mood of the original games. I recently replayed Resident Evil 4 and was surprised by how creepy the game still feels, even now.

Please bring survival horror back

RE6 wasn't bad. Chris story line just felt like a shooter. Jake's was Ok. Leon's was pretty decent. But what wasn't there was that feeling like I played RE1.

I still say that RE: Outbreak series was unsung in the entire RE series. It was hard as hell to survive by yourself. We need a HD remake with voice chat.

I stopped playing Resident evil after 4. They've lost their way with the series.

"The hard part is taking all these things and figuring out how to make something for everyone."

If they make RE: Outbreak file #3, they can make many people happy. Co-op, action, move while aiming, exploration, and retain the feel of old school RE.

It is the nature of gamer...."complaining&quo t;
I've played all the RE and I found part 6 to be the game I always wanted RE to be.
I suppose since this is the era of COD, gamers made a connection from that games kinetic action to RE 6 and said well my game is ruined since it plays like COD.
When perhaps if RE 6 would have been first to bat, we may have appreciated it more.

In my mind RE was never scary or horror. Yes there were a few jump moments, but nothing to make me urinate on myself or make me hide under the table. After all I was playing a game.

The old control scheme was atrocious and the way the game mechanics played did not satisfy me.
Yes, RE 6 was not terrifying (although what is?) but it sure was fun to play and at the end of the day, fun beats almost anything when it comes to gaming.

Wish they could get alot of the team members that made REmake man that was the most scary re game.

7 million copies estimated in sales & only 2 million actual. Ouch!

Ive seen it as cheap as $10. Even at that, I won't buy it.

Please revive this franchise... If there's no more ideas i with some of the fans won't mind a reboot.

capcom you not only need to change the gameplay mechanics part (which is as you saw from the reactions ultra failed for this type of game genre) but also the artistic direction of the series ...after RE4 all types of enemies you introduced were at least unimaginable,totally forgettable and grotesque without reason ..you need to put down to work your art teams

I don't believe that there are as many different types of RE fans as the guy suggests. Survival horror is a genre within itself and is by no means a sub genre of action adventure. I hate how they try to blame fans' disparate tastes for their lack of focus when it is obvious that 5 and 6 were blatant attempts to emulate mechanics and ultimately the success of CODDLEFIELD and GEARS OF UNCHARTED. No one asked for the mess that is RE6. There are so many design issues and out of place mechanics that we can only call it an unmitigated atrocity to man. And it is no one else's fault but Capcom's.

resident evil 3 remake would be so great!

re7 must be more on zombies, zombie dogs hunters lickers and runner zombies(old fashion enemies) not the one in re 4-6!. and the setting must be like the one in resident evil3, city, leon and chris as partner .

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
