Could Resident Evil Return to it's Roots?

Who says you can't have an action-horror game?

whatever. I just want the character to jump.

LOL! agreed! :D

I've cited multiple times- Deadspace is a scarier game than RE 1 was, and it is an action-horror game.

I said it makes it *less* suspenseful.

Current controls + ability to move and shoot + an actual survival horror setting. Pretty please.

What I find laughable is that move and shoot was available in the RE: Outbreak off-shoot titles, but not in the main series. Just another WTF worthy moment from Capcom.

I liked RE 4 and 5, though it was too much of an action game, lacking in horror theme. I would love for the next one to bring back the horror aspect of the series.

If it brings back the horror aspect, limited ammo, the need to search for weapons rather then buy them when you've ended a chapter, much more puzles, the slow moving zombies and B.O.W.'s then I'm all for it.Treflis

I'm not even sure how you could make a RE game like that today. The entire scope of the series has changed. It isn't possible to bring those gameplay elements back. RE of the 90s is over and it isn't coming back.

Time is ruthless, unfortunately.

the old Resident Evil's camera angles SUCKED. I don't want to have to rely on a crappy camera in order for a game to be scary. Dead Space did it right

Dead Space was what RE5 was suppose to be. Who knew moving AND shooting would be be important... Everyone who'd ever played a shooter, but not Capcom. Jun Takeuchi takes these games in horrible directions, but it sells. He's the Puff Daddy of gaming. Horror?.. Shooter?.. Neither?.. Yeah, its neither. Capcom continually makes weird (stupid) design decisions. Lost Planet 2 was a cluster **** of bad ideas.YoungSinatra25

So does that make him the Paul W.S Anderson of Games?

If you're talking about going back to zombies after the Ganados have emerged as an easy to control army then the answer is simple. You have to reboot the series, which according to the rumor mill is Capcoms plan for the next installment of Resident Evil. The demand for a true Resident Evil horror game is to high for Capcom to ignore now. Maybe they'll close out the current RE Universe with another CGI movie.

I don't understand why people even want them to go back to the old style of Resident Evil. This New Style is Better and I want Capcom to Keep it that way.

Maybe they can just focus more on the horror and keep the current gameplay. That would be the Best solution in my mind.
