I never played any new RE games. Only first three games. Love them. (though I still don't like too tough "tank" control)
Honestly, I'm not sure. Can (almost) exact the same game perspective, mechanics and controls attract modern audience?
RE2 remake became popular among old and new gamers, as I understood, and RE7/8 style didn't lose its relevance yet. So I'm sure they will stick to it for some time.
