When Resident Evil 6 came out, gamers were annoyed by the lack of horror, especially as this has been going on since Resident Evil 4. The players are asking Capcom to get scary again, and they hope that Resident Evil 7 will give them the willies.
Most gamers have been playing since the very beginning and have become addicted to the thrills and chills, which can at times be as terrifying as Silent Hill.
However, Resident Evil 4 was the start of a new trend that saw the game stray into Call of Duty territory…and stay there.
If the game doesn’t start scaring players again, they’re going to defect to another game, maybe one like The Evil Within, from Japan’s TangoGameWorks.
This game is the perfect combination of horror, mystery and puzzle-solving, and Capcom needs to stay ahead of this, before it starts losing fans to it.
Resident Evil needs to get back to its terrifying origins if Capcom is to survive. Otherwise, The Evil Within might see it off for good.
