This is giving me more questions than answers. Regardless I think RE2make being in the vein of REmake is what is best. While a mainline game (RE7) should take the combat ideas from RE6 while dialing things back for better tone/atmosphere and more tense moments.
So basically you wanted Resident Evil 4 with the more modern combat system of RE6? I'm fine with that but RE7 tried something different and was also great. Although a little on the easy/ short side for my liking. It still could have passed as a side story or spin off but it's such a high quality product that it really needed the budget and talent of a mainline entry. Either way both styles can and should coexist in some way.
Edit: just realised this thread is almost a year old.
