But I think its about time to reboot it. I wouldnt event mind the multiplayer aspect so much. But I think it would do the series good to take it back to more horror and zombies and less insects that come out of peoples faces.
The games industry today...
but add turned based RPG elements and don't forget some kinetic and dance dance elements. Maybe top it off with some Wii fit mini games and pokemon and we will finally have the perfect RE game.
When was the last time youve seen a company admit theyve made a mistake....(netflicks i guess I just answered my own question)It doesnt happen very often. PR always puts a spin on their mistakes. And Im fine with that as long as Capcom takes a look at the lukewarm reviews from RE6 and take the series back to horror.
What else did Mario have...golf and other sports games too. Resident Evil Party.
First off, money talks.
If this game sells well, then regardless of what the loyal fans want, they are going to do what's best for their overall sales/ bottom line.
I like the old Resident Evil games just as much as the next person. But we all have to face the reality that those days are long gone and may never come back. Everyone is saying "Capcom should listen". Truth be told, the ARE. When people pay or don't pay for their product, they listen to THAT loud and clear.
And I know I'm going to get disagrees for this next part, but it's the truth. But many of us should have seen this coming the moment everyone praised Resident Evil 4. Even though Resident Evil 4 still had some horror, THAT game is what started the influx to the more action based RE games.
The seed of this issue was planted the moment Resident Evil 4 became a smash hit. Because the action based game play elements (even though nowhere near as glaring as5 or 6) gave the series a big jump in mass appeal. And the crappy movie franchise also had a hand in this all as well.
And since everyone practically coveted it (fans and reviews alike), that literally told Capcom "maybe we should try for a lil more action in the next one"
Long story short, if you want things to change to the way they "should" be, it's easy. Ya spoke with your wallets (buying) to make the series mainstream, so NOW how about speaking with your wallets (not buying) to send the message that you've had enough
RE4 was good but to me it never felt like a real Resident Evil game. It didnt even have zombies the game was centered around the parasites. It was the first game that moved the series from survival horror into action horror and people praised it. Alot of people were outraged about RE5 but to me other than the story being pretty bad it wasnt too far removed from RE4.
I mean dont get me wrong RE4 was pretty fun...but meh. The last Resident evil I really loved and put a little bit of fear in me was Nemisis
Unfortunately, Mikami is not with Capcom and I think the team at Capcom has missed the point of what Mikami accomplished. He didn't succeed by making an action game, he succeeded by making an action game with scary elements. Capcom's idiocy boils down to "HMMM. LEZ MAKE DA GAMEZ ALL ACTION DERP."
I don't care what anyone says, RE4 was a spooky game at times. You can't tell me the Regenerators and some of the bosses are not chilling. Some may argue that the older games were scarier and that's totally fine, but RE4 is a lot scarier than RE5/6. They should have continued making it ACTION HORROR as oppose to just action.
Many people thought that the sidequests would ruin the game, but it turned out that Vatra implemented these sidequests in a way that only further accentuates the game. Seriously, the sidequests will give you the creeps. They will leave you astonished at how twisted the minds of the other residents have become!
Sorry for talking a bit too long about SH: D, but it's the truth: I'll pick SH any day over RE6.
On topic: I agree with one poster said. Reboot the series and include 'new' characters that aren't soldiers/mercenaries/polices/e tc. Capcom can pull off a Walking Dead if they do this. Reboot or make another zombie game that's not RE nor Dead Rising!
I would certainly like a reboot. I've played every resident evil game but after RE5 I kind of lost interest. It wasn't scary, there were no zombies and the story was forgettable. RE6 looks to be more of the same so sadly I can't see myself buying one.
