Resident Evil 6: Five Steps to Saving the Franchise

"Capcom’s latest addition to the Resident Evil franchise has been met with more hate than love, especially since the release of the widely disappointing demo. To put it gently, many of the older fans are outright pissed. Others (including myself) are rolling with the series as it changes, because there’s no denying how much it really has changed. In a last ditch attempt to help get the news out there, I’ve complied five steps Capcom can make to keep the series interesting and dig further back into it’s roots."-Rantgaming.com (PC, PS3, Resident Evil 6, Xbox 360)

Sack all employees working on it and hire Shinji Mikami back.
samiahm  +   300d ago
I feel like the series is helpless without shinji. It's not really resident evil without him.
StarFox  +   300d ago
sorry but im gonna have to with bringing back hideki kamiya back. re2 was by far the best re. with all due respect to shinji, hes the part of the reason why reisdent evil is the way it is now. thanks to re4 of course.

Put hundreds of people out of work? Yeah, sounds good.

Shinji, in my opinion, is a god of the gaming community thanks to what he's done :D

Umm make it survival horror again? That's all it really needs to make the fans happy.

The only man that can rescue this burning heap of a franchise is Mikami.

"New characters aren’t a bad thing, Sherry, Jake, Helena, and Piers are all lovable in their own way."

Sherry is not a new character.

Thought I fixed that, apparently not.

I'm getting the impression that she's trying to defend Capcom a little bit in this article and seems to be mocking the old RE fanbase.

"Whoa, somebody is angry. The flashing lights, sudden noises, pop-out scares, and intensity in the air wasn’t good enough for them. Well people, when you go in already decided that a game is crap then why bother playing it"

Yeah there not scary, it's like what those cheap Hollywood horror movies do. Oh sorry for pointing out Capcoms lazy effort. I can glady judge this game without playing the full game

"new characters aren’t a bad thing, Sherry, Jake, Helena, and Piers are all lovable in their own way."

Sherry...new

Has this girl actually played the old RE games. Jake, Helena and Piers look awful and bland. Totaly not likable in anyway.

"Others (including myself) are rolling with the series as it changes"

Oh....right, this explains it, she's actually looking forward to the new game. Probably is new to RE, well...good luck with giving your money to Capcom so they can go on ahead and ruin more great franchises, whatever they have left anyway.

I've played all the old school RE games, and my bad I thought I fixed the sherry typo. I have my own opinion, I don't mind RE6. I played the older ones before i played the new ones, I've liked the series for a while. Entitled to my own opinion, sorry if it offends you but it is my own.

people like him forget we all like different things about the RE franchise, and all fans aren't going to like the same things or hate the same things.

the old style sucked. standing still moving like a tank isn't what makes RE, RE. I don't care who liked it, liking another aspect of the game doesn't diminish ones love for the series.

I'm glad they took a chance and changed something, really tired of these people wanting the same thing year after year with just a new coat of paint and then turn around and complain because the series has become stagnate.

@Kaos_Vll

and people like you Kaos are the ones who never give a crap about RE but now because they hjave turned the franchise einto a generic third person, over the top action fest, it now appeals to you.

It's obvious you don't have a clue why most people are upset about the new direction Capcom are taking RE. Instead just because you are now interested you don't give a crap about any of the loyal fans who have been there from the start...thats just selfish in my opinion.

"the old style sucked. standing still moving like a tank isn't what makes RE, RE"

...lol

No one said it did...like I said you obviously don't have a clue why people are complaining. Maybe you should do your research.

I guess you must be new to gaming this gen

@mike
Then enlighten us all about what makes RE, RE.

Being a survival horror for starters. Also did you support Resident Evil Outbreak which not only was the first that made it that you can move while shooting, co-op and but it had hand to hand combat on a zombie as well.

Resident Evil 4 just tuned up what Outbreak already had to an over the top level and really disnt make that big of a contribution to the story. You should go to to Capcom demand for a File III instead....

I hope Ada becomes all mutated and you have to kill her.
I hope Leon dies a slow and horrible death for all his terrible one liners.
I hope Jake realises he will never be as badass as his father and then overdoses on sleeping pills.
I hope Chris meets Jill (even though she isn't in it) and finally stops being a pussy and have a 5 minutes make out scene.
I hope Helena and Piers bump into each other setting off a claymore nearby and BOOM!
I hope Sherry gets out of the game and jumps beside me so we can make sweet sweet love <3

My biggest problem I have is if Capcom is pushing online on a Resident Evil title then instead of forcing it into the canon, make a new Outbreak.
TheDivine  +   299d ago
Make Revelations 2 and il be happy. Also port Zero and the REmake to the 3ds and then remake 2, 3, and Code Veronica on the Wii-u and other HD consoles. Also a vita port of RE4 and Code Veronica from psn would be excellent.

6 does look really amazing despite the contraversy. Prob will be one of my favorite games if all goes well.
