I'm glad there are dozens of us.
This would stave my hunger for quite a while.

For example, here's Leon, Chris, Jill and Claire. And here's every costume they have ever worn in every game ever.
Gimme Billy Coen goddammit!!
No. I feel action RE and action DC are different types of games. I like the slower pace of action RE where the characters feel weighty and the guns tend to be heavy. Same with the melee. Zombies are also softer targets which make more satisfying splatters.
For Dino Crisis I would really want them to go all in on Dino Crisis 2's concept. Very fast paced, almost designed for score attack and speed running. Agile Regina in a slim power suit, rapid fire weapons, kill combos, score multipliers, heck throw in cartwheel moves, flips, and Bayonetta style movement! "PN03 meets Jurassic World"

Loved the game, the DLC is giving it longevity, and my only regret is that my virgin experience of it can never be in VR having completed it nearly three times already without trying it. My hope is I can experience whatever Resident 8vil has in store for us in VR first! (Don't steal my ingenious title, Capcom, PM me for royalty information)

ok, the music was great and a few of the cutscenes, specially the ones with Jill,Wesker and Excella were entertaining
good graphics too
Replayed recently though and its a poor mans RE4 😧

RE5 is perhaps the best coop game ever made, so poor man's RE4 or not, I'm thankful for that at least.
Unsurprised that RE7 is selling well, but very pleased regardless. I doubt we'll see 8 be anything other than a continuation of this direction.

And then there's Rebecca, and Billy, and Sheva, and every version of Wesker, and Krauser, and HUNK, and Ada, and Luis, and Josh, and Carlos, and Nikolai, and Barry, and Sherry, and Jake, and Helena, and Piers, and Steve, and all of S.T.A.R.S.

Sounds good. I personally really like the game overall. First time I've played through a game more than once since Journey, so it's been awhile.

Well deserved, game should have good legs.
Super happy to see that there are still people who love/want action RE. 4, 5, and 6 are pretty much my favourite action game's full stop, and 6 specifically might have the best TPS mechanics ever. I hope Capcom doesn't abandon this style of RE entirely, as it's fantastic.
Agreed.
Agreed.
I can overlook the Bayformers fanboyism, duck. But not this. Never this.
I would be so in for a new Dino Crisis in that style though.

I think RE4 was so great because it was a great blending of genres. At it's core, it was an action game, but instead of being like Devil May Cry, which was basically RE2 with combos, (fantastic game) they fused character action/shooter/puzzles into one game.
No title does exactly what RE4 does, but I get the same feeling of accomplishment with games like Souls. I felt Gears was certainly heavily inspired by RE4, same as Uncharted. In fact, part 4 especially the gun play feels like ND were playing RE4 while revamping drake's shooting.
Capcom might make it action heavy again one day, but in all honestly, that is probably going to just be DMC. This it the direction that inspires the team. That's what I want. To ask for the same thing over and over again is not seeing the forest from the trees. If we truly want a classic like RE4 to happen again, we have to let the team be inspirational. They've done something special here with VR and horror, there' s no denying it, at least let them perfect it before we ask for a return to form.

I want the complete opposite, I am so done with the old RE formula. For me RE7 felt like a massive step in the right direction for the series and I'd be so disappointed if they went back to the cheesy, over the top big budget style of RE6.
How About No

Awesome! I love RE7 and was honestly worried about them getting their target. Glad I was wrong and this sort of game is catching on again!
Most I've disagreed with a user with a red name
Don't worry we'll still get Revelation 3 and I'm sure it'll be good
And (RE7 DLC spoilers)

and Capcom if you're reading this please ignore the terrible "make re action again" opinions

I get that. I don't even dislike RE7. I do hope RE8 perfects on what it has done.
But i'll always push for action over Horror.
It never left.

Same could've been said of the action games.
I enjoyed raid mode quite a lot in Rev2 but I agree. They really need to step it up next time.

Despite it clearly trying to be like Gears of War, it's way better than Gears of War imo.

The sections where it's aping gears are its worst moments. I don't know why they thought the laser-sighted gun weilding enemies forcing you into the weakest stop and pop cover shooter encounters I've ever played was a good idea. It's antithetical to everything that makes RE5's combat so fun. No melee, no strategic positioning and crowd control, just waiting for the green laser sight to be off you so you can peek over and line up a shot before doing the same thing for the next three stationary dudes.

Publishers never talk about sell through (or at least very rarely) so who knows.
Has to be a high number though. They shipped 2.5 million copies week 1, and then another half a million since then. You don't ship additional copies unless you are selling through you're inventory.
An educated guess is sell through is probably somewhere a bit above 2 million.

I would agree with Duckroll 100% if it wasn't that I read long ago his point extends also to the originals, even REmake. He basically wants Gears of Evil regardless.

Good, RE7 is a return to its horror origins.
FUCK YEA Outlast/Amnesia clone my ass. Welcome back to survival horror.
I laugh at those who said it could no longer succeed without being a cheesy action blockbuster.
I just got the platinum trophy last night, really enjoyed doing so. The first time in forever that I felt satisfied playing a RE game. I hope they continue to place an emphasis on survival horror, I love being scared. First person, or Third person, whatever, just make it scary.

Resident Evil shouldn't be run and gun. It started as survival horror and and now it has successfully gone back to its roots. Hell they even wanted the original RE to be first person, but the hardware would not allow it back then. I mean I hope they continue provide action oriented titles like Revelations and will buy them, but the big budget RE game should be exactly like RE7 in terms atmosphere, resource management and fear of the unknown. I wasn't sold at first, but after playing it they made a brilliant decision. P.T. who?

We already have plenty third person shooters, as we have plenty first person spookers. What we don't have any longer is claustrophobic third person camera single player no multiplayer real survival horror games.

Well-deserved, it's the best RE game since RE4.
That's not a high bar, granted, given RE5 and RE6 were inexcusable tragedies of the highest order, but even by the standard of good RE games, RE7 is amazing.

Well deserved. Hope Capcom learns a thing or two about this.
I think this is an unfair characterization. I can't really play horror games anymore. I've talked about this. I don't like being scared, and as graphics and immersion get more realistic, it's much harder for me to play a horror game that actually wants to scare you. I played all the REs back in the day when I was younger. I absolutely love RE2. I definitely wouldn't want REmake 2 to be like RE4 at all. I think REmake 2 should be a little scary at least, I think it's allowed to have jump scares that pay homage to what the original was. But RE2 also had a lot of action, and a lot of silly character/mythos stuff. It also had set pieces where you could kill a giant mutant alligator by shooting a gas canister in its mouth. It had a zombie Terminator chase you through the second quest. And a thrilling boss battle as you escape at the end. These things also need to be emphasized and elevated in a remake. I respect REmake a lot for what it is, sticking with what made RE1 what it is and improving on everything else. I just personally -don't like being scared by jump scares-.
RE7 is something else entirely. It is the series moving forward in a different direction, rather than remaking a classic game. Hence it being a direction I am unable to enjoy and do not want for the series, it is important for me that I hope the direction does not succeed.

RE5 was actually a really fun game and should not be lumped with RE6.

Looks like word of mouth is really helping the game out. Very well deserved. Hopefully legs stay strong.
