"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."

Capcom has removed the recently added Enigma DRM from the PC version of its survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 remake.

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
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.
dont try to fix what isnt broken
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.
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.
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. =)
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.
