Resident Evil 7 to be less action-y

If you weren't a fan of Resident Evil 6, here's a bit of good news for you. Capcom listened to feedback and they're putting the series back in gear to survival horror.
RE6 may have sold well at five million copies sold worldwide, but that still puts it under Capcom's sales projections. They were expecting the title to turn seven million units. Clearly not everyone fell in love with the latest numbered title, which is why Capcom is listening to fans and turning the series back to the genre that its games popularized as 'survival horror.'
"We have obviously seen the consumer response and the PR response," Michael Pattison told MCV in an interview, former Capcom Senior VP Marketing. He just started working at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe this month.
"There was some great positives out of [Resident Evil 6], but it was a mixed bag, as we saw from the review scores. We have got to take that on-board, we can't ignore that, and we have to take that onto the next game when we make the next Resident Evil."
"With Resident Evil 6 specifically, we probably put too much content in there, there were comments from consumers that said it felt bloated. The Leon missions went down very well, and because we did Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS, there was a cry out for us to focus our attention on survival horror, rather than be too many things to all people. You'll find where we go next will likely be more targeted at our core fanbase."
Pattison notes that the post-apocalyptic survivor horror genre is getting saturated with its many zombie games in the market, but it's "still alive and well."
"The Last of Us shows a good direction of what the consumers want," Pattison added. "Tomb Raider as well, we spoke to R&D and they looked at that and they enjoyed that experience. I think that proves there is still a strong market for that sort of content."
Judging by Pattison's comments, does it sound like Resident Evil 7 will head towards the right direction?

I never understood why developers don't listen to fan feedback in the first place...

If they make it more like Revelations, it'll be fine. And I hope they don't bring back the tank controls.
