Resident Evil Video Game

You may have heard the phrase, "trying to be all things to all people."  Apparently this is what Capcom has been attempting  to do after providing version after version of Resident Evil, sometimes spewing them out in rapid succession.  It looks like Capcom is now taking a serious, hard look at exactly what type video games are being produced for the Resident Evil series.

According to Capcom Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development, Christian Svensson, the company will be scaling back and taking stock of what worked and what did not work and concentrate more on the direction the franchise is headed. Capcom will be taking in consideration what the fans want based upon the type action scenarios, etc. that were featured in the previous games up to now.

Capcom admits this will be the difficult part -- trying to figure out how to include something in Resident Evil that will appeal to everyone -- which was the intent of Resident Evil 6. 

Svensson states that you can expect to see more focus on future games. This direction will undoubtedly involve revamping Resident Evil in such a way that current fans will remain fans once the next Resident Evil video game is released.

A confirmed release date for Resident Evil 7 was unavailable at press time; however, the rumored time frame is 2015 or 2016.
