Capcom hints at going back to roots with Resident Evil 6

Capcom has told Rely on Horror that it is aware fans prefer the traditional, horror-suspense gameplay of past Resident Evil games and it is looking to bring it back.

Speaking with the site during E3, a Capcom representative agreed that fans preferred the more horror-driven game, instead of the action-oriented turn the series has taken, and that fans will like the direction the development team is focusing on for the next Resident Evil game.

“We know that alot of fans want more horror back for the next one, the development team knows that as well and we read a lot of comments, messageboards, and ask for feedback, and there was a lot of critisism about RE5′s focus on action," said the rep.

"I think that you’ll like the direction the dev team is shifting for the next one.”

Although, this statement doesn't give away much, it's safe to assume he meant that RE 6 might be returning to the series' roots.
