Capcom Resident Evil franchise development insights
Overview
Former Capcom senior manager Miguel Corti has provided retrospective insights into the development and creative direction of the Resident Evil franchise.
Regarding Resident Evil 7, Corti revealed that the project underwent a significant pivot. While leadership initially intended to replicate the action-heavy commercial success of Resident Evil 6, developers pushed for a return to critical acclaim by shifting toward a narrative-driven survival horror experience. This transition involved a move to a first-person perspective, a complete studio reorganization, and the appointment of a new director and writer to restart development.
Corti also offered criticism of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, arguing that the title caused the series to lose its survival horror roots and set a precedent for the action-oriented direction of later entries like Resident Evil 5 and 6. He specifically noted that the game lacked a clear sense of direction and criticized its cinematic tone for imitating action films rather than maintaining a horror focus.
