Resident Evil’s Past, Present and Gory Future

"With the release of the HD re-master back in January, the ten year anniversary of Resident Evil 4 today (for us Brits at least) and the upcoming Resident Evil Revelations 2 creeping upon us an episode at a time, I look into the highs and lows of the series, the possibility of more remastered editions and where the series goes from here."

Resident Evil 2 remake needs to happen! My favourite of all the games.

For me, RE5, as good as the gameplay was, marked the decline of the franchise because it got rid of the horror element. Dont get me wrong, I was in shock when i first saw the gameplay reveal just like everyone else but the game itself sacrificed the essence of what made Resident Evil good.

With RE:5, they could have brought back the scares but the slow and dated character movements killed it for me. It went all Matrix 2 and 3 for me.

Resident Evil needs to go back to its roots.

5 is a bad Resident Evil but still enjoyable as an action game, 6 is a complete disaster on every aspect (in my opinion). I couldn't even bring myself to finish it.

Re 4 was a tremendous achievement. I know many people disagree (and their arguments are valid) but I still think this game is a true HORROR game and not necessarily Action-only. I mean... Dr Salvator.... But that's another debate.

You're right. Resident Evil needs to go back to its roots. I could die for a Re 2 HD remake. That game changed my life. I want another one like that. But I'm afraid that's not going to happen.

As of right now, my only hope in triple A scary horror game lies with Kojima and Del Torro. Capcom is going online, capcom is going episodic. Capcom is... I don't know where Capcom is. But it's nowhere near giving us what we want. They need to stop being so greedy, like seriously. They used to be one of my favorite studios...

Gazondaily4082d ago

Yeah fair comment.

Yeah I don't get Capcoms deal either. They seem intent on urinating on the hand that feeds them, ie us fans!

I pray Silent Hill is good though because for the sake of the survival horror genre, it needs to be great.

breakpad4082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

i ve said it before ...4,5,6,,Revelations 1,2,
ARE NOT Resident Evil games ..are mediocre to good games but they dont have any relation with the other entries...i dont know what happened to Shinji and destroyed the franchise with Resi 4 ..even with EvilWithin he returned back a little bit

DarkOcelet4082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

If we are talking about remakes then Resident evil 2 and 3 needs to happen. While RE2 had its scary moments and amazing atmosphere, RE3 on the other hand had the "Oh $hit i am so ****ed" and when the Nemises ran for the first time, he almost gave me a heart attack, i mean we went from the slow RE2 tyrant to a badass monster that refuses to die and can Open Doors!!!

I remember i stayed in the save room for almost an hour just to muster the courage to fight him when he was outside lol. And he did kill me btw ^_^

Gazondaily4082d ago

Ahaha nice. I remember something similar happening to me.

The "STAAAARS" thing haunts me to this day. Well it did until I saw the Resident Evil movie. After that, the nemesis was as scary as pikachu in a rap battle against Stephen Hawking.

ritsuka6664082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

Past= Real Survival Horror and one best franchises ever.

Present= Horrible action Residen Evil ruined this franchise.

Future= I'm afraid of the future for this franchise..

Crapcom, stop trying to fix what was NEVER broken because you are losing more true fans than you are making new ones.

Gazondaily4082d ago

THIS.

You can actually see the gradual change in the formula over time in the games. RE4 marked the start of that change and I remember feeling that the new formula was going to be a Trojan Horse. RE6 was just horrid and soulless. They lost their way massively with that but Im sure they know.

Theyll definitely try to make faithful fans happy this time round. I suspect that they'll keep a close eye on Silent Hill and see whats done there.

sealava4082d ago

Shinji Mikami was on RE from 1-4 then left .
he made now a very good game called ( The Evil Within )
don't miss it if you like horror/ action games like RE .
I almost missed it .

Pennywise1384082d ago

Having just started up resident evil remake HD I can hinestly say that's exactly what a resident evil game should be. I figured that the game could scare me like it did back on GameCube but I was wrong. Its not even so much scary as it is creepy and just sets a mood and tone like no other game I've ever played. The sound and level design are great and just feels eerie and lonely like I'm trapped in a haunted house all by myself. Not to mention the puzzles are great. To me 5 and 6 should have just been called something else and as good as 4 was I'd still take the original games any day. Some people don't like the set camera angles but I think it adds a lot to how the game plays out and feels. Hoping they remake 2 and 3 and rerelease 0.

Well They said ,
Main Series - Action Base.
Revelations Series - Survivor-Horror Base.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio22d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
