WC: Resident Evil 7 should be all about going back to form for Capcom, returning to those roots of survival horror to create chilling gameplay experiences that are perfectly juxtaposed with that lovely B-movie feel. The series has become lost within itself, losing the focus that made the first two games in the franchise so memorable. Even the weakest entry in the original PlayStation trilogy, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, wasn’t too far off the track that Resident Evil 4 put it on. Despite RE4 being a very good game, it was really the beginning of Capcom’s push towards wall-to-wall action that has derailed the franchise. So, we’ll look at 10 fan demands that Capcom needs for Resident Evil 7 to be truly back to form.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "It’s been nearly ten years, but Resident Evil 7 hasn’t aged a day. Its brand new Switch 2 port not only showcases that its gameplay is still fresh and tense after all these years, but also showcases how well Nintendo’s portable can handle some of the more demanding games from the previous generation, with a handful of improvements to make it look as good as its current-gen counterparts. There’s also the fact there’s a ton of extra content for you to enjoy, from videos to entire new modes and side campaigns, so this is a worthy inclusion to the Switch 2’s currently minute library, and a great excuse for you to replay one of the most important horror games released in recent memory."
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard returns the series to its horror roots, and on the Nintendo Switch 2, you can take those frights everywhere.
Capcom is bringing both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village to Nintendo Switch next month, and now gameplay has surfaced of both titles running on the hardware. The latest episode of Capcom TV aired this week. During the show, extensive footage of both titles was shown. This is the first time we’ve seen gameplay of the ports.

Smooth gameplay already! So excited for my Generation Pack pre-order. I already platinum RE7 on PS5, but I don't have the chance to play Village.
By the way, the RE7 and RE8 included in Generation Pack are both the Gold Editions.
Let me save you guys the time on this article..
10. Less Characters
(I disagree. The Resident Evil universe has many interesting characters. I would like to see all playable characters from every game crammed in, make it an epic story involving everyone who had to deal with the Progenitor in some way).
9. No More Globetrotting
I agree with this. I would prefer a confined building or area.
8.Classic Characters
(See 10)
7. Go Back To The B-Movie Roots
I agree
6. Axe The Quicktime Events
I don't strongly agree on this. Resident Evil 4 did QTE quite well. They can be annoying nowadays but can be done well.
5. Less Action, More Survival
I think anyone will agree with this, but we need to be careful what we ask for though (some new gamers will not like the survival element... we live in COD land now). I would love to see a return to RE,RE2,RE3, CVX and RE0 but it's likely not going to happen. Giving us less ammo would already be a step in the right direction.
4. A Monster Overhaul
I agree to a certain extent. Some of the monsters in Resident Evil 5 and 6 were pretty good, but not memorable. The first time you had to fight off a Tyrant in RE or the returning Tyrant in CVX.. that was memorable.
3. A New Inventory System
Resident Evil 5's inventory system was awful. Resi 6 kind of improved on it. I never felt any worry with inventory space in 4,5 or 6 which kind of kills the survival aspect. So yeah, I agree.
2. Be Willing To Say Goodbye
This suggests killing off some of the original cast. Could work aslong as it isn't a mass exodus.
1. Static Camera Angles
I disagree. We had the patience to put up with static camera angles during the pre-rendered days of Resi 1,2 and 3. Code Veronica X done a good job of having a moving camera in a fully rendered game... so I would hope for a CVX style camera system. I do think they need to move away from the over-shoulder 3rd person crap.
