Examiner.com: With the highly anticipated release of Resident Evil 5 looming on the horizon (along with the recent arrival of the demo on Xbox Live), we'll take a look at some of the major development decisions that helped make the Resident Evil franchise the mega blockbuster success that it is today. While it might seem odd to devote an edition of From the Graveyard to games that actually released and made it to market, the Resident Evil series has a curious history of overhauls, redesigns, and abandoned betas.
Capcom has secured a new PEGI age rating for the original 1996 Resident Evil game, leaving many fans to wonder why.
That would be great. I like the idea of remakes in general, but I feel they would be much less polarizing if the original games were easily available on modern hardware. Maybe Capcom doing that will motivate other companies like Konami, Blizzard and whatnot to do the same.
Hmm.... Capcom has become rather chummy with Blaze (Evercade maker) as of late. And rumors have been swirling about the first 3 games coming to Evercade like the first 3 Tomb Raider ones are.
Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.
RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.
The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
RE 4 and 5 are a let down to the series, give us Nemisis and let us make our own bullets like we had in RE3 and get read of the AI team mate.
while i dont think they are a let down to the series i do wish they would bring back the zombies! :(
