Capcom is apparently preparing for a "full-scale offensive" with regards to the Resident Evil franchise towards the back-half of this year, and now respected video game consultancy gaffer Serkan Toto has shed a little light on what we can expect. Writing on Twitter, the Kantan Games chief said that the "entire game will return to Resident Evil's horror roots and [will essentially] be a clean slate".
With regards to the horror, we've heard all of this before – in fact, Capcom said a very similar thing about the action-centric Resident Evil 6. But the success of recent Resident Evil remasters and even The Last of Us must have proved to the publisher that there's a market for more straight survival games.
If it is indeed returning to the franchise's origins, then fans may be pleased to learn that the company has apparently recruited Jordan Amaro, who previously worked as a designer on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Silent Hills teaser P.T.. Whatever happens in the gameplay department, though, we sincerely hope that the anime story is getting rebooted, because it's been utter rubbish for decades now.

resident evil revelation 2 was pretty good.so bring on 7.
Just make P.T. Konami don't have a copyright on corridors and scary stuff.
Personally I would prefer a return to the Horror Survival roots of the franchise. We have seen a number of games in recent years prove that there is a market for this - Alien: Isolation, Evil Within etc. I don'y know what happened or evn why but there was a distinct shift from the Horror Survival into the Action genre - we saw it with Dead Space as well as Resident Evil.
I must admit I did enjoy RE5 but not as a RE game. It felt more like a spin-off but I would really like a great Horror Survival game and why not from the franchise that brought this genre to gaming in the first place...
I don't know why people think p.t.aka.silent hill was great.because it's not silent hills.since when silent hills is first person.and since when you can't defend yourself in silent hill.p.t.is not real silent hill
@playstation1995 No, but P.T. is arguably the best slice of survival horror in years.
"Clean Slate" finally Capcom have a gold star.
I would like it to be first person game a bit like Dying light for example but in the resident evil universe
Is Resident Evil 7 Major Title 1 or 2?
I just finished Alien Isolation. Could be good if they borrowed a few ideas from that.
I don't think pt is the best survival horror in years.I love the evil within.I think it's way better than p.t
and resident evil revelation is a really good game also I love it
@Bliquid Yeah, I think so too but only because it'll be on both the PS4 and XB1.
No need to be a shooter since Umbrella Corps sub-series already exists.
@WanderingBullet I believe Title 1 because if I recall correctly, someone at Capcom said they aimed for the 4 million mark for RE7.
@clvr Ah, cool. Thanks.
So that leaves Major Title 2, wonder what game that is.
