Even before the recent demo dropped, fan scepticism was unprecedentedly high. And post demo, christ, youd think the Resident Evil franchise had somehow developed tangible mass and gone to each critics home to take a dump on their breakfast. Many people, after playing the heavily action oriented demo, were positively livid and went online in their droves to lament the fate of the franchise. If you ask me, this is the sign of a dying franchise; when its own stable fanbase stage the kind of mutiny that Resident Evil has just suffered through. Sure, people are still defending it, some people loved the demo, but the fact that so many responded so harshly makes me question exactly how long the RE franchise has until its worn out its welcome completely.
