Resident Evil 7 It€™s no secret that Capcom is in dire financial straits. The former Japanese superpowers of the gaming industry have sent a clear invitation to potential investors to rescue them from the mire they find themselves in currently. However, many believe that rather than appealing for a buyout Capcom should return to their roots by releasing a killer Resident Evil game. Resident Evil 6 (the last numbered release in the series) was accused of trying to manufacture a broader Call of Duty-esque appeal rather than doing what the franchise does best in a bid to make the game a best-seller.
