"The next Resident Evil game will return to the series&amp;#039;s survival horror roots, it has been suggested. Capcom stated that it has been observing the reactions of consumers and reviewers to Resident Evil 6.  Based on the mixed responses towards the game, the company explained that it has ultimately decided to change the direction in which it is heading with the series. &amp;quot;We have obviously seen the consumer response and the PR response,&amp;quot; previous Capcom marketing head Michael Pattison told MCV. &amp;quot;There was some great positives out of that, but it was a mixed bag, as we saw from the review scores. We have got to take that on board, we can&amp;#039;t ignore that, and we have to take that onto the next game when we make the next Resident Evil. &amp;quot;With Resident Evil 6 specifically, we probably put too much content in there, there were comments from consumers that said it felt bloated.  &amp;quot;The Leon missions went down very well, and because we did Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS, there was a cry out for us to focus our attention on survival horror, rather than be too many things to all people.&amp;quot;  From now on Capcom will be catering to the taste of longtime Resident Evil fans, according to Pattison. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll find where we go next will likely be more targeted at our core fanbase. &amp;quot;A lot is said about the saturation of this zombie, post-apocalyptic survival horror. But it is still alive and well.  &amp;quot;The Last of Us shows a good direction of what the consumers want. Tomb Raider as well, we spoke to R&amp;amp;D and they looked at that and they enjoyed that experience. &amp;quot;I think that proves there is still a strong market for that sort of content.&amp;quot; Originally released in 2012, Resident Evil 6 has sold five million units worldwide. Despite reaching that figure, it has been described as a sales failure by Capcom. Watch a trailer for Resident Evil 6 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
