Reinventing Resident Evil

"There is no doubt in my mind that RE5 has done more damage to the series than any previous release. Not even the failed GameCube deal (in which Capcom initially planned to make every Resident Evil sequel, prequel and remake exclusively for GameCube) hurt the series as much. Going forward, Capcom is going to have a hard time convincing gamers to return."

dont try to fix what isnt broken

Masamori Sumimura5672d ago

Feeling the same here. RE5 was a good game it could of been better if they actually had some scare elements in there. I think they'll get the new one right and make it more like the 4th.

ability to walk and shoot, better zombie AI, zombies, please dont give zombies machine guns or that crap, no cover system whats this gears of zombie outbreak?, darker/grittier setting..

is that so hard for you capcom? now dont get me started on your other franchises youre ruining.

btw RE5 was not good... please no forced co-op this time...

nix5672d ago

i wonder who disagreed with you, DasBunker...

what's with the ability to 'run and shoot'... i feel so handicapped. i'm somewhere in Chapter 3 but i just don't feel like progressing because the game just doesn't have anything to make me do that. i just bought this game for Move, though it works awesomely, i still think it's way too handicapped!

what i'd personally like to see is the game based on movie character. i would love to play as the 'woman in red dress'. she's so cool.

Capcom have lost their minds. Seriously, giving away the great DMC series to Ninja Theory. Ninja Theory pretty much confirmed they are destroying the franchise from the trailer.

And recent rumors are that Capcom has given Resident Evil franchise to Slant at Canada (makers of socom) probably so they can create a Resident Evil game like Outbreak but have heavy focus on coop.

I don't know why Capcom is doing this.

Is it just to freakin' hard to bring us a natural classical RE game with harder puzzles, longer story, more Leon and classical zombies with SCARY elements put in like RE 1?

darkziosj5672d ago

i can say the same thing about old resident evil games, but whatever resident evil is just a mindless shooter now

BkaY5672d ago

and got a plat trophy in it... its coz i am re fan.. but i have to admit its a step back from my all time fav re game which is without a doubt RE:2

peace

psn : BkaY

It's because of attitudes like yours that we have NO innovation whatsoever.

I don't care what they change, change everything, just make it good. Different =/= bad.

hatchimatchi5672d ago

um no. resident evil 5 is pure crap, in fact it was so bad that I don't really care when re6 comes out.

Dead Space and Fatal Frame are the only survival horror series that I care about at this point.

Agreed. No reason why they should bastardize Resident Evil. RE5 is still fresh in people's minds, and it hasn't been shelved for a while like Devil May Cry has.

tlarn5672d ago

I really did, but I can see why people don't like it; it just doesn't have the feel of a Resident Evil. Sure, it has the biological monsters and mutants and Wesker and Chris Redfield and a few more whose mention would be spoiling the game, but there's something missing.

I wonder if people would like Resident Evil 5 if it was a spinoff or something else completely, rather than a primary installment.

Cevapi885672d ago

how about capcom caving in to media pressure that they were being racist because of black zombies...i cant believe that this became a legit claim for capcom to actually have the devs make more racially diverse zombies...and in the end they decided to play it safe IMO and not do anything over the top which RE games are known for

p_weezy4155672d ago

You made a lot of good suggestions, but if they did decide to go to any of your routes, I think it would totally change RE making it not RE anymore. Resident Evil 5 was a different spin on the series and had awesome graphics, but I think that's what the series needed. RE4 was a change of pace also and I think Capcom has become a pro on adding changes slowly and at the right time. I trust them and do not they have done the RE story any hamr. Change can be a good thing, but not drastic or unecessary changes. =)

alee5672d ago

It's usually easier to be scared when your alone. It's a harder to make a game scary when it's multiplayer, and it might simply not make sense to do it.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.
