Some people are excited because "oh hey it'll be a transition back to horror!" I don't understand this mentality given that the series was never purely a horror game to begin with. It was action-horror with a load of campy James Bondy key crest puzzles, and I loved every second of it. Looking at the footage of 7 makes me think of Amnesia or that other first-person horror game (the one with night vision camera bullshit - I can never remember the name). It doesn't make me think Resident Evil at all.

Hide'n'Seek "Horror".
All the rumours about 7 being a classic, more back-to-the-roots. Hah.
And all I got was cringe and even nose-bleed. How can you be so fucking stupid?
There is a massive drought quality-wise in the genre. Capcom had two options:
Make a classic RE as part 7. The remakes sold like crazy. The signs were right on to this.
Or make a spin-off. A spin-off can be first-person. But then risk something and go psycho-horror. And a spin-off doesn't leave all the roots behind, like if it would- oh, I don't know, introduce an almost silent protagonist.
But instead, it seems like a rip-off of rip-offs of Amnesia: The Dark Corner to Hide and Be Sought After, Spooky.
RE 6 is going to become not the worst main-entry anymore. Holy shit.
