I hope Capcom fixes the controls, allows you to shoot while moving, and makes it terrifyingly scary. Capcom needs to take back the horror genre.

BiggsnWedge4506d ago

Yeah I didn't really like the controls either on the last one. Controls like on the Uncharted series would be a good idea, albeit mix it up a bit but yeah they're perfect for 3rd person shooters on console I find.

Rampaged Death4506d ago

Uncharted ?? More in the direction of Dead Space.

BiggsnWedge4506d ago

Was just giving an example. I haven't tried Dead Space myself but I'll just agree with you cause honestly the controls for RE5 weren't really good.

Mickbelfast4505d ago

The standing still while shooting adds to the atmosphere of the game, having to stand still then quickly move again & not knowing what's behind you is all part of a resident evil game

Pushagree4505d ago

I dont know whats worse. When people defend terrible flaws like this or the fact that people can get agrees for it.

come_at_me_bro4505d ago

It's true that they add a sense of tension but the tension is fake and the controls are archaic. They can update them without ruining the atmosphere, it's called intelligent game design.

LoLZoRz4505d ago

I agree.

what people are saying here sounds like they want an Uncharted with horror elements.

not moving while shooting adds great tension.

SecludedBubbles4505d ago

Guys this is resident evil, every single game in the series has been standing while shooting. It like deadspace do this on purpose, it isn't meant to be a run and gun. Not being able to move while shooting adds to the scares, obivously if your not able to move anything can come up behind you and get you, hence adding tension etc.

I for one hope and think they will keep these controls (although tighten them up) and bring back he scary atmosphere. Why else would they start branching out bringing operation racoon city etc to the frame. They want to bring these run and gun action games without changing their core series and upsetting their fans.

I can't wait for all these games tbh I love the resi universe.

FunkMacNasty4505d ago

Not being able to move while shooting is an old school game mechanic, and it feels especially old on current platforms (see: RE5). Given that in recent years Capcom has given us "faster" zombies, having to stand still to shoot has resulted in more than a few cheap deaths.

And not for nothin, but I think it's an immersion breaker too. In a zombie invasion, having the main character stand in one position and emotionlessly empty several pistol clips into 10 marching zombies is just silly.

knowing capcom the game will be all action with not fear anywhere and will be catered to casual players

Pushagree4505d ago

I dont see what people like about resident evil. I played the 5th game and it was highly cliche and the controls were terrible. Easily the most overrated series of all time next to Halo.

Horny4505d ago

You played the worst one of the main entries.
If you have a gamecube or wii get zero and the remake to 1. They still look insanely good and the story and atmosphere is amazing. Id also pick up part 2 and nemesis as well if you dont mind playing older games. For their time they were great games and still are today, to me at least.

Pozzle4505d ago (Edited 4505d ago )

You decided that the entire Resident Evil series must be overrated based on what is arguably the worst game in the main series...even though Resident Evil was the series that coined the term "survival horror"? Even though Resident Evil was largely responsible for the entire survival horror genre becoming popular throughout the 90s and early 2000s? Even though most horror games have used elements from those early RE games ever since? You call THAT overrated?

Stuff like this makes me feel old. I remember the days RE was considered one of the best series in existence. Now it's just a laughing stock. :(

FunkMacNasty4505d ago

@Pushagree, I gotta disagree dude. Resident evil 5 may have felt outdated (mostly because aside from new shiny graphics, it was old-skool gameplay). But if you had played one of the early Resident Evil's that came out on PsOne between like 1995-1999, you'd understand why it's a beloved franchise--especially to gamers who remember the 90's. Back then, RE games were scary, inventive, explorative, innovative, and...scary. Not to mention the original Resident Evil is arguably the defining game that sparked the whole genre of "survival horror." HALO is the same thing: i personally also find the game mechanics to be quite outdated, but when that game came out in 2001 on the original Xbox it again sparked a craze of FPS games with a strong focus on multiplayer communities. Without Resident Evil and the Origal HALO, us gamers of today wouldn't be looking forward to a game like Silent Hill: Downpour or arguing over which popular online FPS is better... all those games have roots planted in the soil of Resident Evil or The Original HALO.

And I hate the word "overrated" btw. Using it is just a way of seeming objective when you are really just stating an opinion that you don't like something.

Leon and scary that is all I want Capcom.

-MD-4505d ago

I'd prefer to see Jill or Claire in the lead role again myself but Leon's ok too.

Trainz4506d ago

Capcom f*cked up at every possible area that was f*ck up-able this gen.
They will f*ck this up too.

Campy da Camper4505d ago (Edited 4505d ago )

Trainz, you hit the nail on the head. I don't even have a glimmer of hope for this game. They have literally ruined every game they have touched. They are like Anti-Midas.

EDIT: As for the control argument. Yes, standing still while shooting is a RE staple but I am for making it at least somewhat realistic and letting the character moves slowly while aiming. Not being able to move is frustrating because in real life you can at least take a slow step backwards.

gigreen4506d ago

They need to bring back good old, slow, dumb and flesh eating zombies.

El-Fenemeno12134506d ago (Edited 4506d ago )

this may be sadly linked to the resident evil movie.

EDIT: A trailer is set to be revealed for the movie tomorrow x(.

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B430d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot430d ago

It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason

I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.

Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.

RpgSama428d ago

I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.

That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.

MadLad428d ago

I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.

babadivad428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.

RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.

RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.

They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.

hotnickles428d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313428d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984430d ago (Edited 430d ago )

“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”

1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013

2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.

3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.

Immagaiden429d ago (Edited 429d ago )

“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”

Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.

And death of the franchise?

RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.

RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it

TheEnigma313428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.

MIDGETonSTILTS17428d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
