Capcom wants to go back to the roots with Resident Evil

Revelations is the way to go

Capcom, the maker behind Resident Evil 6, wants to have recognized, that their action/horror titel got quite a few reviews where the editors had mixed feelings. On the other hand Resident Evil: Revelations, which was more back to the roots and it turns out that this could be a more successful path to go.

In interview mit MCV Michael Patison, Senior Vice President of Marketing over at Capcom, mentioned that the company is obviously listening to what consumers and reviewers have to say out there. Overall there has been lots of positive feedback but there wer also concerns. Especially judgding by the review scores, Capcom has to do something different, when it comes to the next Resident Evil.

Quote:
“With Resident Evil 6 specifically, we probably put too much content in there, there were comments from consumers that said it felt bloated. The Leon missions went down very well, and because we did Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS, there was a cry out for us to focus our attention on survival horror, rather than be too many things to all people. You’ll find where we go next will likely be more targeted at our core fanbase.

“A lot is said about the saturation of this zombie, post-apocalyptic survival horror. But it is still alive and well. The Last of Us shows a good direction of what the consumers want. Tomb Raider as well, we spoke to R&D and they looked at that and they enjoyed that experience. I think that proves there is still a strong market for that sort of content.”


What do you guys think? What should Capcom do, when it comes to a next issue of Resident Evil?
