Rumor: Resident Evil 7 for PS4 to Be Announced at E3; Probably Not Exclusive
Options
There have been rumors floating around about the upcoming announcement of Resident Evil 7 at E3, and some voices even alleged that it would be a Xbox One exclusive. The latter won’t be the case according to an article on the website of the prominent Japanese Economic newspaper Sankei Shimbun.
The article mentions that for what PS4 games are concerned, Capcom plans to reveal a “masterpiece game” at E3, and that is expected to be Resident Evil 7. It also specifies that the sales expectations for the game are to sell over 5.6 million copies like its predecessor.
While only a PS4 version is named, the wording of the article does not suggest exclusivity. Considering that it’s a Japanese source, it’s most probable that the game will be multiplatform. It’s normal for Japanese articles to mention only PlayStation versions of titles they mention, especially on mainstream media.
Of course this should be considered a rumor until Capcom makes an announcement. We’ll have to stand by and wait for June to see if the Sankei Shimbun is right about it.

Of course it won't be exclusive. Capcom literally can't afford to not go multiplatform with the few AAA IP's they still release now a days. They're broke as hell and on the brink of death. Doesn't make a difference to me anyway though. The main RE changed way too much after part 5 and hasn't looked back so neither will I. Unless it's another Resident Evil Revelations type of game.

deep down is exclusive....Of course it won't be exclusive. Capcom literally can't afford to not go multiplatform with the few AAA IP's they still release now a days.

Actually you'll probably see a lot more PS4 exclusives so companies don't have to worry about ports. PS4 is the fastest selling electronics device of all time at the moment.

I'm sure Sony Computer Entertainment absorbing half the development duties and putting up half the development resources for that game has something to do with that. Similar to Microsoft Game Studios with the publishing of Dead Rising 3. Those are exceptions. Exceptions are not the rule and RE 7 will cost way more than that to become a reality. Which is a bill I don't think Sony or MS will be willing to pay.
Once again; Capcom IS broke. Capcom IS dying. PS4 being the fastest whatever the ? you wanna call it doesn't change Capcom's fortune. It doesn't change the fact that game development has become much more expensive than they could afford it to be. It just exemplifies it. -
Garbage on top of more garbage...
Capcom needs to hit a Homerun here...
Wonder what style of gameplay they are going for, cause 6 was an awful mess...
3rd person horror or 3rd person action...
They need to stick to 1 or 2 playable characters and ditch the partner system or severely upgrade it...
Deep Down looks great but yeah SCE Japan basically paid for that game that is why it's PS4 exclusive...
-
There was an RE6?
-
I liked re5 so I wouldnt mind if I got another one
-
Mmm!!
-
Resident evil games pretty much went to ? . ? went from survival horror to an Action packed shooter with little horror if any at all. Pass.
-
I quite liked Resi 5 from what I've played of it. They should bring that Sheva character back in 7 while they're at it.

This is why Resident Evil 6 came off so bad with many people. Capcom just need to stick w/the traditional gameplay of what made Resident Evil what it was and improve on the horror/survival elements of the game. After I beat 6 I got rid of it with the quickness I didn't even want to play Ada's part.

Resident Evil 7 Confirm for E3 & Rumors
A new chapter in the Resident Evil franchise has just been confirmed. Coming to E3 2014, Resident Evil 7 release date will finally be announced! But what will be the plot of the new RE game? If rumors are true, then we will see the glorious return of Albert Wesker and the game reveal of Alice from the movies!
Japanese publication Sankei Shinbum has reported that Capcom will unveil Resident Evil 7 for PlayStation 4 at E3 in June. When Resident Evil 7 was rumoured a few years back, one of the most popular theories going on at the time was the return of Albert Wesker to face his son, Jake. This theory was "confirmed" when an alleged employee of Capcom tweeted about Wesker's voice actor going in to the studio to record lines for Wesker and that they are planning to add Alice from the Resident Evil movies to be a playable character in Resident Evil 7 mercenaries mode. Also more rumors that " Claire " would be returning for RE 7. Capcom made their statement saying that they are closely listening to what the fans want for the next Resident Evil game and by Fans request capcom has promised to bring the game back to its original horror roots. Nothing has been said wether the gameplay would be any different or any more returning characters from previous games. Also it has been said that the game will be set to release in 2015 for PS4 & Xbox One. Everything will be revealed in June at E3 -

Yeah, I thought they dropped him off in a volcano or something. Then again this is a series where a little girl genius spliced her DNA with a queen ant, froze herself in Antartica, and had her insane twin bring her back after living dual lives for over a decade.
Bringing a guy back from volcano death may not be that difficult a task... -
I won't be checking for it

Aint enjoyed a RE since 4. Aint played 6 yet.

Pretty sure that was story in Code Veronica. I'm just saying, as far as storylines go, bringing a dude back from incineration is light work for the Resident Evil Universe.
