History
Following the mixed reception for 2012's Resident Evil 6, leveling at 40-50%, an internal discussion took place among the producers and directors in R&D Division 1 about how to re-format the series. When Resident Evil 7 was reconsidered following several failed pitches, it was agreed that it would be stripped down to its "core" elements, earlier titles such as Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 having worked too much for a blockbuster. Along with the greater focus on atmosphere, it was decided that a new character would be introduced, "macho superheroes" such as Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy having partly been responsible for the more actionised content.
