I have a feeling it will, they wouldn't announce it in Japan as X1 platform isn't of any importance to them there. Heck, the X1 hasn't even released there yet, not until next month and I highly doubt it'll make any impact, not unless people are dying to play that Psycho Pass game.
Anyhow, I see a lot of people still carry a grudge from RE6. People need to realize the Capcom that used to be there hasn't been the same since sometime between closing Clover Studios and and Seeds Inc / Platinum Games opening. I mean, they really went remake and porting overboard when that happened, as they didn't have the necessary talent to keep new IPs coming out. Probably one of the worst and least talked about things that has happened at Capcom and nobody in the gaming press tried getting any kind of scoop on exactly what happened. I suspect on the way out that the leaving leadership happened to headhunt his pick of the talent and likely nabbed their most talent programmers and game designers of varying tasks. What I think this resulted in on Capcom's side is an inability to polish their games and give them the necessary quality control they needed, because that seemed to be the symptom of games from that point on, they were decent in their design but very rough around the edges.
But, fans too need to confront other realities for the series, such as these games are no longer just solo single player campaigns for hardcore survival horror gamers, that they've been made more accessible in gameplay to a wider audience. The modernization of combat and camera control mechanics is going to be met with increased action, which means more bad guys, which means more ammo. I'll take intense playable action over cinematic tension building pacing that's only effective the first playthrough. The lack of severe ammo scarcity is something that really seems to bug survival horror purists, so then the question needs to be addressed regarding online co-op. Making the campaigns episodic with chapters and allowing for dropping in and out means that the ammo supply has to accommodate users who come in with varying loadouts., as to supply ammo to multiple users, some of which may need ammo more than others. So,is it better for Capcom to abandon multiplayer co-op in in order to make a more effective and memorable game, or should they keep co-op? It wasn't a horrible game, but it is deserving of much criticism, unfortunately it seems the criticism it does get is just the bullshit people who haven't played it say; "make it like they used to... dur, QTEs".
