Capcom says "stay tuned" for Resi 7, but don't expect a new DMC anytime soon

Hurrah! Resident Evil news that doesn't relate to another HD remake/collection! While we already know the Japanese publisher-cum-developer is giving Resident Evil 2 a spruce-up, it turns out a new original entry in the series could also be in the works.

In a recent interview with Japanese gaming mag Dengeki PlayStation (as translated by Siliconera), series producer Masachika Kawata was quizzed on the possibility of a much anticipated sequel to the decidedly divisive Resident Evil 6. He response was a little coy, to the say the least. "We’re currently not at a state to talk about it… but please stay tuned." Could this mean Resident Evil 7 is finally in production?

Horror games may be seeing something of a revival at the moment, but with more recent Resi entries trading action for all out terror, will the series ever return its nightmarish glory? Kawata certainly recognises the need to hark back to the horror. "Since there’s been more spin-off titles, I can see how it can be perceived in such a way," he comments. "And of course I believe that we should produce titles that bring out the horror. I’m thinking about it and also preparing for it."

Sadly, with showing a renewed interest in the undead shuffler, it seems certain other franchises are getting a bit of a timeout. Hoping for a new entry in the DMC series following the re-release of DMC 4? Maybe even a proper sequel to Dragon's Dogma? "They’re also things I’d like to personally do, but there are no plans [for now], adds Kawata." Sad faces all round.

The Legend of Zelda designer wants a female live-action Link

The Legend of Zelda is yet to have a movie green-lit, but that hasn’t stopped two of the series’ pioneers sharing their thoughts on potential casting.

Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Zelda and Mario, and Takashi Tezuka, designer and director of numerous games, said in an interview with MTV that they’d like someone "completely new" to play a live-action Link and indicated a Japanese person may not be the best fit for the character.

"With Japanese TV drama and film they always use the same actors so I actually think we should have someone completely new," said Miyamoto, before bringing Tezuka into the conversation.

"I can't think of any," Tezuka replied. "This is just personally, it would very fun and awesome if Link was played by a female actress, a boyish female actress."

Miyamoto added: "This is something I never imagined because Link is very different to how a Japanese person looks. At the Japanese Expo I attended, there were so many people in cosplay who looked very good. They would be good!"

Elsewhere in the interview, Miyamoto addressed the possibility of movies based on Nintendo properties but refused to give anything away.

"A feature length film? It's definitely a secret! I can't make any comments right now but we will see."

It was rumoured a Zelda TV series was in production at Netflix, but Nintendo refuted it saying the report was "not based on correct information," but didn't outright deny it was happening. With mumblings of a Zelda movie going around, something tells us we’ll hear more on this soon.
