Just returning to your good game roots would be a start.

Anyways, RE is completely off my radar, Evil Within is what I'm looking out for.

F'ck Cashcom. Too little, too late. Should have been thinking about the fans of their franchises when they cooked up that Street Fighter x Tekken bullsh!t. Rot in hell, you bastards.

Hopefully it will return to being good as well. RE5 wasn't survival horror but it was still a fun game.

Resident Evil 6 was fun IMO, wasn't great by any stretch, if it suffered from anything it was a lack of polish, but again I thought it was good fun. The biggest complainers though were people that didn't even play it. And I could tell how full of shit their know-all commentary of the game was simplistically stuck on a rant about QTE and about return to the survival horror roots. Not saying the game was perfect though, there's lots that could have been improved on such as writing a better story, have less redundant environments, there were four main stories and though they started uniquely they seemed to lead into repetitive territory. I personally liked this setup though, and the episodic nature of the campaigns, it's a good design for co-op. It's worth mentioning that there's quite a challenge in designing survival horror games and having online co-op. Making a scary game the scripting is everything, if you're really trying to scare, it involves the use of video and audio and enemy queues hitting at the right times to help build up tension or create a scare, and if there's anything wrong with co-op style games it's the co-op partner running ahead, if you're wandering around checking corners for supplies and your partner is scouting ahead he could be triggering all the scripting sequences and the other person can be missing out. Furthermore, voice communication kind of ruins the immersion experience of many games. Personally I think making a game thrilling is just as good as making it scary. With the introduction of improved controls into the series. RE5 introduced a fix aiming camera instead of a wondering one, dual analog movement/camera control which included strafing, and RE6 introducing shooting while moving, the game has gotten easier to play so it's time to step it up by overwhelming players with more enemies, cater more toward co-op and promote teamwork. Anyhow, when people say they want a return to survival horror, they should specify what they mean, we can debate those bits piece by piece. Do we want to go back to a day of saving on the typewriter? Do we really want to scavenge for every little scrap of ammo (and play the whole game with the damn knife) and memorize which enemies I can just run past and which ones to fight? Do we want to eliminate co-op and stick with a well scripted single player experience? Critics should be specific if they want Capcom to make appropriate changes, otherwise being like "durrr QTEs... durrr, return to roots", is not the lease bit helpful, and all that effort wasted complaining accomplished nothing.

And the time before that. Literally the only time they were right was with Resident Evil: Revelations.

How about making it good again? That would be a nice step. Revelations was alright so keep heading in that direction.

Do people even care about the Resident Evil games in the sense they have an attachment to the story, characters, the gameplay? Because RE4 is regarded as the best RE game out there, and Shinji Mikami directed it, and I've faith he'll blow us away with Evil Within; why aren't people more stoked for that?

Maybe the horror comes from the destruction of their franchises, and the survival idea is that you can make it through another lost franchise without going on a shooting rampage.
