Will Resident Evil 6 Be Crap?

crippled_ram · 2010-09-08 04:29:38

Capcom's famous Resident Evil franchise finds itself in familiar territory- almost a decade ago, the series was growing stagnant after three quick releases, the old formula growing thin, the dated premise and the obsolete development and game design sensibilities beginning to show their age. This was mostly becoming apparent with the release of Resident Evil 3, a game which fans felt was the weakest entry in the series. Adding salt to the wound was the fact that its immediate predecessor, Resident Evil 2, was widely regarded as the best game in the series, and one of the best game sequels of all time.History indeed repeats itself. The reboot of Resident Evil hit gamers with the superbly reimagined Resident Evil 4, which is now held to be one of the best games of last generation. However, the formula seems to be growing stale, and Capcom seems to be losing its grip, as the recently released Resident Evil 5 was criticized widely for dispensing with the scares altogether, and for becoming a poor man's action game. And yet again, the game held on to some design philosophies that simply have no place in modern gaming. With series like Dead Space becoming the standard for survival horror, Resident Evil is fast losing relevance. Can Capcom reinvent the series yet again, to ensure that one of gaming's oldest mainstays can be enjoyed even today? And in doing so, will we get yet another brilliant masterpiece like we got the last time the series was reimagined with Resident Evil 4?The topic becomes more relevant when one considers that Capcom recently teased Resident Evil 6, stating that they want the game out as soon as possible. That's all we know about it, though. Which platform? No idea. Release date? Nada on that. All we can speculate on is that the game might be unveiled at TGS later this month. But that's all.Just what is Resident Evil 6? Does it even exist? And if so, what can we expect from it?GamingBoltCheck out the entire article here!Thoughts? Personally, I think they make a point. I would certainly like to see a Resident Evil game like they describe in the article. What about you guys?

RE4 - Awesome, RE5 = CRAP. rest of capcom over last 2 years = either CRAP or Milking customers with multiple versions and premium DLC like versus mode and outfits for characters. i am betting Dead rising will have stupid over-priced DLC, then a "Super dead rising" or similar edition capcom can fall for all i care, i wont be buying another of their games.sts106mat

Lol, every dev milks customers with DLC and Multiple versions. EVERY dev has done it.

Activision,Epic,2K,Dice,Lionhead,Bethesda,Ea is certainly guilty of it and so is capcom. But as shown it's not just them.

And Im pretty sure bioware will hop on that train or bus soon too.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"]bioware are already on the train with some of the custom outfit and weapons pack that could be offered free via cerberus. capcom put out a sub-standard sequel to one of the greatest games of all time then put an extra charge for an "unlock code". i understand people like capcom games, but these things bug me. i buy DLC for ME, Dragon Age, Oblivion etc, i dont have a problem with DLC, only over-priced stuff thats on the disc that i need extra to pay to unlock. i dont buy maps for MW2 either.

But my point still stands thats it's not fair to single out a developer when they all do it.

I really miss the solid camera angles. Fan you IMAGINE RE Remake with PS3 360 graphics? Would be insane.

I enjoy co op but not forced. Resident Evil Survival was fun. The resident evil 5 Return the Nightmares was fun co op. I do miss being spooked in the games RE. I loved not knowing what was around the corner in RE 1 - 3 with fixed camera's. Not being able to see in front of u added horror with sound added.

All of those people who commented about reboots, luck's on your side! Capcom said in an interview that the whole series is going to have a complete reboot, mostly because of the hate RE4 and RE5 recieved. I don't know if that's the best solutition, although surely anything could be better than RE5...

RE4 got nothing but praise...

For good reason, it was an awesome game :)

My point exactly.

only 3 games have I been able to go back and play from last gen, and enjoy just as much

I'd rather wait and see where they are taking the series to next before going into a guessing game and disappoint myself.:( ...
