They would be mad not to do the third game, even though it's not as good.
As for Resi 8, great news. I really liked 7, even if the second half had less impact than the first. From what I read at the time, sales weren't as high as they had hoped, but it was offset by the game's relatively low development cost (a few million).
With Resi now riding high off the good press from REmake 2, hopefully the next brand new instalment will make a bigger splash. I felt it was a masterful mix of old and new, and exactly the shot in the arm the series needed after losing its way a little with 5 and 6's disappointing attempts to repeat the formula of 4.

I really hope that isn't the case. That's exactly the trap Resi 5 and 6 fell into, an over-reliance on action. Resi 7 is actually a fairly unique proposition. No one has done a walking sim survival horror nearly as well. I'd like to see the narrative improved and the addition of branching paths and decision-based gameplay a la Until Dawn, rather than an increase in shooting stuff.
A focus on gunning down zombies risks making the series lose its identity again.

Exactly. The second half or last third of VII was just a big long corridor full of monsters and limitless machine gun ammo. The game should have ended with the decision at the boathouse. Still scratching my head over how they thought they'd get away with completely disregarding your decision in a way that is utterly confusing and makes no sense at all. A storyline other than "big corporation tries to turn monsters into bioweapon, fails miserably" wouldn't go amiss either. By the end of VII I was like "this was just Revelations + FEAR" and then I looked it up. OH, it was by the guy who did Revelations and the guy who wrote FEAR!

I agree It should have ended at the boat house. For me a sequel which increases the action would be one that focuses on the weakest aspects of 7.
I don’t agree 8 should be made in the style of RE2 really. We’ve yet to see the best of first person Resi, is my hope.

I have not played 3 for years, but always felt it was more a side thing to the main games I suppose going from a 2 disc two character game back to single character and set around a similar time as 2 gave me that impression.
And with Mr X doing a similar thing to Nemesis i do wonder what they could add....though saying that my fav addition in 3 was the dodge mechanic
