Resident Evil going back to it's roots??

So, you guys have seen the resent trailer and heard the announcements for RE6...do you think that Capcom has finally heard our cries ? Do you think that the franchise is going back to what made it the "BEST" survival horror franchise?? Discuss...(I need something to keep my mind off of Ghost Recons delay):cry:

Discuss...(I need something to keep my mind off of Ghost Recons delay):cry:MarcRecon

So, what else do you want us to do to entertain you? Roll over and play dead? :roll:

That would be a start!!!:|....Come on dude, it was a side-joke. If you don't want to answer please leave.:)

It never was the 'best' survival horror franchise, but no I don't think Resident Evil is ever going back to what it used to be.

I think the action element is always gonna be a factor now but I do think they will do a better job of balancing out the survival aspect of it....hopefully taking a page from Dead Space.

[QUOTE="H_M_1"] Same. Check the trailer, another action packed game, Silent Hill: Downpour is what I'm really after. I'll pick this up as well though.H_M_1

Yeah, The Silent Hill franchise has never really gotten it's credit for not straying away from what makes it great. The things you just mention has always made the player feel fear and that they might not make to the next check point. Tell you the truth...Silent Hill has always had a darkness to it the RE never really had.

Dead Space is the best combination of survival horror and action that I know of. I enjoyed both of those games.

They will probably me going for the action apporach rather than survival horror.

[QUOTE="MarcRecon"]

[QUOTE="H_M_1"] Exactly. Playing Silent Hill in the dark will be awesome, Resident evil is great, but playing that in the dark makes no difference, the ones on PS1 were the best. As a Kid, I was too scared to play Resident evil or Silent Hill lol. Amnesia is a one of a kind horror game, it's about pure survival, no guns or weapons, kind of like metal gear but a horror version. Vatra games (Silent Hill: Downpour devs) have also said that you will be outnumbered in the game, like silent hill 2, so you have to run away.Blueresident87

No debating that!:P....it's one of the few games this-gen that I've played through multiple times.

Absolutely not, Marc. If anything, they're taking it further down the Action Highway and farther from what many of us consider to be the series' strengths... This looks more like DMC than RE... To me, anyway... And I'm not too happy about it. I didn't like RE4, hated RE5, and now this and the FPS games, etc just turn my stomach.

Still, there are other games that carry on true Survival Horror, so it's not like there's nowhere else to turn. But after watching that trailer, I wash my hands of Resident Evil.

:(

EDIT: I also liked "Dead Space"... But then I wasn't looking for Resident Evil in that game. I took it for what it is as apposed to what it used to be. Resident Evil may have gone global-huge with RE4, but it was the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned. Glad others dig it, but I don't. I'm sure CAPCOM won't suffer for losing my $60 on this one.

Count me in the group that was disappointed in RE 5, I didn't mind RE 4 so much, only because it was something different, but I realized in five that I really didn't like the new format as much the second time around. Survival horror is my favorite genre, and while I'm sure I will get RE 6, it's going to be when it drops in price, whereas something like Silent Hill: Downpour will be an immediate purchase.

Capcom likes money, that's why RE is what it is today. Once 4 was released there was no going back

I don't like the logo.. the 6... it looks like a hooker is giving head to a giraffe... I can never unsee it now.

I am really itching to play a new --true-- survival horror game. The genre in its pure form is almost extinct, so hopefully someone can bring it back. There are many games out there that include elements of survival horror, but nothing like the PSX generation, that I really grew to love.

However, I still say that Dead Space is the best video game experience of this generation...

Unfortunately, the new PSN release "AMY" looked like it had potential, but GT says it's a buggy glitchy mess...

... wait ...

... I didn't know it was published by Bethesda!

:lol:

There's still the old games, and "Siren: Blood Curse".

Not with RE6, that's for sure. I adore the franchise as a whole, but I can tell you right now it will probably never go back to the traditional format of the older games. The 3DS game coming out pretty soon, Revelations, looks to be more horror than action but it still has the over the shoulder camera work.

Thing is, is that the fixed camera, tank controls of the original games was starting to die in popularity. When RE4 came out it was a huge success and it basically revolutionized a genre. It's fine that people don't like how different it was from the older games, but at the same time people were starting to complain that the series never evolved.

You and me both. Love the RE series and Revelations looks great, but I'm not buying a 3DS just for that game.

Although knowing Capcom there will be a port of it in the future. They could easily make it a PSN title and have it sell.

Resident Evil is never going to go back to the old days of survival horror. Since 4 was a hit and still has a large fanbase/following it looks like thats where Capcom are taking the franchise (more action oriented, over-the-top, and casual).

Adding Multiplayer to what should be a single player game is not going back to it's roots. Cashing in is what it's called and no doubt the single player side will suffer sadly.

I don't see how Gears of War horror action gameplay is Resident Evil returning to its point-and-click horror adventure roots.

You guys have your minds still in 1996? Wow. A series needs to evolve, it can't just be zombies and a tyrant back and forth, this is the 6th installment after all, the story must progress or its going to suffer with the same thing over and over. Most of you guys must be in your 20's (if not early 30's or even hittin 18), looking to get "scared" in a survival horror game at this time is just sad.

What I got from this thread is that people want a "survival horror" game. You know, something challenging as opposed to blowing everything that gets in your view.

ps: cool game in your sigy. lol

Thankfully, no, Resident Evil doesn't appear to be going back to its roots.

Honestly, I've never understood why people liked the original RE games. I'm fine with the concept of survival horror, the limited resources and whatnot, but those games had some of the most horrendous, frustratingly clunky controls and sloppy gameplay ever. And maybe the janky movement could've been forgiven if the game didn't force you to run past/away from enemies in these tight, claustrophobic environments where slick, fluid control would've made a world of difference. Instead, it was like a perfect storm of suck.

Until Capcom figures out how to make a survival horror game where the most terrifying enemy isn't the godawful controls, I'm happy to see them pushing the RE franchise is a more action-oriented direction.

Hmm somewhat strange response; but whatever, I'm all for the evolution of a game. I just want a 'survivial horror' game from anyone. If RE wants to shift to an action shooter, I'm completely fine with it.

I'm not sure what the age has to do with anything, I am 26. However, I'm not really looking to get scared by playing a game. Sorry, I just like the suspense and vulnerability that survival horror games in the past often would provide. Having 7 bullets left...period...and not knowing where your next magazine is going to come from is a pretty entertaining predicament for me :)

I do agree the controls were terrible and very frustrating! That sometimes added to the fun though. There were many times when I knew something was coming up behind me, but since I turn around at a snail's pace it is just a goofy experience. I remember many times holding my breath TRYING to make the character turn faster...thank god RE3 (I think) brought about the quick-turn into the franchise.

You know what I consider to be sad? People setting age barriers up as to when a given response to stimuli should or shouldn't be effecting to someone else. Fear is the oldest emotion known to man. It's primal, and it'll never go away. Wanting a dose of fear from a game, book, movie, roller coaster, sky dive, swimming in shark infested waters with a scuba tank for protection... It's all the same, and it's nothing different than wanting to play FIFA and feel like a pro footballer, or playing some game about fantasy characters with pointy ears living in a mystical realm (as per your sig)...

Grow up and stop passing judgement on people for what they do or don't like about this hobby. You might even find that opening your mind to the world can lead to a much more enriching experience.

Peace.

:)

Actually... it will be more like the... 12TH INSTALLMENT. :shock:

6 are only the "official main story" ones. ;)

I was impressed with the RE6 trailer, but yet again I hope they show real horor and not just stick to the action kind of shooter. In the trailer I saw that you could interact with the environment more like (Pick up an Axe and throw it at a zombie).
Dead space imo is the new horor kind of game that everyone is looking for and it does a better job at balancing both action and horor. If capcom is wise enought they would actually play Dead Space and will get a chance to see where they went wrong..

[QUOTE="communitae"]What don't you like about the new RE? I love it! Wish they would create a "Walking dead" franchise where you have different characters to balance out the game playlbjkurono23

Yea a walking dead is in the works.

An open world zombie game would be nice, Dead Island did start such a project although I would'nt call it successful. It is a start to open zombie world gaming and really having a survival open game would be a great game to play.
