Thinking about the Street Fighter deal and how that may kickstart a new collaboration between Sony and Capcom. Or is Resident Evil too big of a brand to be on a single platform? Judging by Capcom's focus on sales numbers and how Resident Evil 6 didn't sell as well as they wanted it to, is it feasible that they would go with either a timed or full exclusivity deal?

Will Resident Evil 7 have any form of Sony exclusivity?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
hell no lol.
at best, some exclusive DLC or in-game content, but total exclusivity is very unlikely.

well REsident Evil 4 was gamecube exclusive for a while, so this might happen with RE 7 as well

RE is way bigger than SF, you might see some DLC deals but no way in hell it'll be full exclusive

It could just as easily be exclusive to Microsoft

looking at how many platforms Resident Evil revelations 2 and the remake of 1, I'd say probably not. It will probably be ps3/4, 360, xb1 and pc

Dunno why but I have a hunch it will be a Xbox One exclusivity. And I'm a PS4 owner.

RE is bigger than Street Fighter. I highly doubt it, even with Capcom's financial situation they probably have something allocated for RE.
The only 2 absolutes at Capcom now a days is Monster Hunter and RE if you ask me.

Depends if Capcom can't afford to release it multiplatform and needs the help of a console manufacturer to develop it and get it out there. We probably would've heard about it by now. RE is Capcoms big money maker at the moment though, so I imagine they have a bit put aside for the production of their big hitter.

Exclusive

But to be serious, it will probably be exclusive in Japan while multiplat worldwide.

Just because of SFV? What about DR3?

Maybe timed at best if Sony funded it.

Not unless they buy Capcom.
I think this will be more than likely the case.

This, could go either way. Or could just be a normal ass multi-platform probably with some stupid mission exclusive to PS4.

My thoughts exactly.
Resident Evil is their biggest franchise when considered worldwide now.
They are going to want every dime that game can bring.
Timed is the the most I could see it getting.

If they have the money for another 3rd party exclusive I'd rather it be Silent Hills.
Uh... why would it?
Revelations 2 is multiplat already and it would make no sense at all to confuse and infuriate your fanbase by releasing a spin off on multiple platforms only to then deny all but one platform's fanbase access to the next mainline entry in the series...

...on the other hand...

If MS/Sony/Ninty are going to fund anything, they should fund a new Dragon's Dogma or Onimusha.
RE is tired. Let it rest outback and quietly fade away.

More likely as an MS exclusive. You know the moneyhatting will get bigger from them after the SFV deal Sony made. Sony would be smart to fund a Monster Hunter PS4 game and get 3 game console exclusive deal with Capcom on it. It would probably cost as much as funding a single RE game. They would sell a ton in Japan and a solid amount everywhere else. They also don't have a game like it on consoles.

it could be but not "just as easily".
on topic: i can see it but i don't think it will be.

Seems more like a potential MS moneyhat then a Sony moneyhat to me.

It can't be a MS exclusive, RE sells way too big in Japan.

What downward spiral?
All of the past RE games have been a huge success. It is not like they are losing money on them. They have gone down in quality though, not the sales. Resident Evil games still sell a shit load of copies and generate plenty of buzz. They are just not up to the quality of their previous releases.

I don't see RE being exclusive at all, but if it was I don't know why you'd assume it would be a PS4 exclusive, it could just as easily be a Xbox, considering MS was willing to fund Dead Rising 3, which was probably more of a risk than a RE game would be.
is people forgetting Dead Rising 3? becuase that somehow draw the SFV exclusivity, imho.
I mean, I don't think that Capcom prefers to go with Sony, but I think they look for funding developments, for those games they are not "certain" about in terms of sales success.
Btw, I think that RE is not one of those games.
