"Revolutinised the genre and made it into somthing new"

"But this new direction they took lost its horror and suspense elements in favour of a more action orientated game"

And you DON'T see a contradiction in there? They didn't make survival horror into "something new", they just turned Resident Evil into an action series. Simple as that. So RE4 didn't revolutionize survival horror, it really only helped with the evolution of third person shooting mechanics. That, and QTEs (shudder).

"Which in return will get more people interested and more sales. Looking at market today where call of duty makes the most money we can see people will prefer a action game. "

That magical, really, but WHY does any of THAT matter to YOU? Are you a shareholder at Capcom? Why are you concerned about their profits? If they have to stop churning out good games in order to make profit, then f**k that. That's not good for consumers OR the market, it's only good for Capcom. What's the point in giving them money only to have them continue to disappoint everybody?

Nobody is "butthurt" (that is also a very old and juvenile saying that needs to die), everyone is just gob-smacked by the blatant disregard for the wants and needs of their actual fans in favour of potentially attracting a fan base who notoriously don't want to play anything without "super hardcore real-life soldiers and war stuff," least of all anything with sci-fi/fantasy elements ("nerd stuff").

They're out of touch. That's it in a nut shell. They've yet to produce a single gem this generation (with the possible exception of SF4), with the quality bar sliding more and more with every release. Why should I be excited for the next flop?

Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." There's a great deal of wisdom in that.

"Revolutinised the genre and made it into somthing new" -> Late to the party, that was RE4 like 8 years ago lol

O-T

Don't feel skeptical about RE6, the franchise changed with RE4 and keep doing it with games after that one, everyone should get used to this change

Why even mention The Last Of Us? Not confirmed for 2012, nor is it survival horror (or anything like RE6 will be, for that matter). XD

OT: I agree with his sentiments, although the way the article is written, it makes the idea seemed a bit jumbled. Nevertheless, I'm not a fan of this action-oriented era of Resident Evil we are in now, but as a fan of the series, I can't turn my back on it! Roll on Nov 20!

RE4 began to change everything about Resident Evil and RE5 just picked up where 4 left off.

RE5 is a good game too, so I can tell you to stop hating as well.

Thanks for the recommendation :) +
