resident evil died after SHINJI MIKAMI creator left the company

Because it wasn't a Resident Evil game. It was an action game with the name Resident Evil. It abandoned everything that made Resident Evil. It's a great game and I love 5 and the co op action it brought but when Resident Evil stopped feeling like Resident Evil was RE4. Hands down.

To you. To me RE has always been more about creepy atmosphere and intensity than horror. I was never scared while playing a RE game before RE4.

RE4 kept the atmosphere and intensity so to me is just as much a RE game as its predecessors.

The way I kinda see it was that RE did need a shot in the arm as it were and Resident Evil 4 was certainly that. The problem is that Capcom don't seem to completely understand why people consider RE4 a classic and made RE5 and 6 miss the point entirely. Yeah they are more action based like 4 but 4 also had alot of stuff that felt like Resident Evil while 5 and 6 did not.

That said I think it's hard for alot of folks to admit that RE4 is where the series went wrong because it is a awesome game and it's kinda hard to imagine how a great game can cause a series to go the wrong way.

I think that the success of the remakes we have been getting kinda shows that Capcom should return to making new Resident Evil games in that old style. Maybe make them smaller cheaper experiences. We have seen that the old games hold up so take your design cues from them and run with it. Hell maybe we will see that after Capcom has nothing else to remake.

100% completely agree

I enjoyed RE5, but again, like with RE4, i don't consider them true RE games. The co op in RE5 was truly phenomenal if you had someone with a sliver of skill.

I love how zombies gained motor skills and begin sniping you, forming as mobs and calculating plans to kill you.

The lolz.

Watch Resident Evil 7 be a racing game and they're just going to have the drivers in the car look like zombies and tell you it's still a horror survival game lol

They were so damn desperate to pass that game off as a survival horror game it wasn't even funny these people were damn near mercenaries!

Watch the next game they're going to be flying helicopters and tanks and the story's going to be like "oh no the virus has changed they're flying jets now!"

Yeah it was bloody ridiculous

Grap I agree with you zombies riding motorcycles and shooting is where I put my foot down and stop buying RE games 4 was a good game with the RE name a nice change but it was as scary as a empty box there was no single moment that I can remember that make me jump like the dogs coming in the hallway or nemesis chasing you on the police station after dropping from a helicopter. RE 1,2,3 was the stuff that gave you nightmares 4,5,6 was the stuff that makes you LOL or shake your head in shame

evolved? changed maybe but not evolved, and the fans are the whole point of a series are they not? if not for the fans resi would have died a lot sooner than it did, the real fans are the ones that have been buying the remasters over anything else, even capcom have got the message, resi evil 2 remaster or remake is next isnt it?

Absolutely. If it isn't broken then don't fix it.

I didn't see games like Uncharted go through massive changes or storylines go off the rails.
