It seems like we might have gotten another hint of where Resident Evil 7 is heading, gameplay wise at least. In an interview with Games Industry, Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi reveals that they are now focusing on Virtual Reality. Here's what he had to say:
"At present, we are focusing our energy on challenging the virtual reality (VR) game market. In this terrifying world, you can twist and turn as you like, but there's no escaping the creatures closing in on you...until you remove your VR headset and return to reality, that is. We delivered this very experienced [sic] with our 'Kitchen' VR technical demo at E3 2015. The response was excellent. Currently, we are building a new game development engine able to support VR, which is the hottest market right now, while simultaneously developing titles for current game consoles. We have just set sail on our latest voyage."
Would you like Resident Evil 7 to be a virtual reality game, or would you rather see a more traditional return for the series? Regardless of your preference, with Capcom telling us to "stay tuned" for news on the next game in the action-horror franchise, hopefully it's not going to be too long before we have some answers.
