Resident Evil disappointed fans who had been hoping for a return to its creepy old self and a departure from the action/adventure that had blighted the game since Resident Evil 4.
CapCom is developing Resident Evil 7 and the developer needs to listen to the demands of its devotees.
We need to get the horror back – creepy music that sets your teeth on edge and makes you desperate to save yourself and get to the safe room. Enemies also need to be able to break down the doors (except for the all-important safe room).
The fans also want the merchant to return. They don’t, however, want a partner as this spoils the sense of urgency and alienation. You should only have a partner if this person needs help or protection.
CapCom – are you listening? If not, then you should be!
