The next resident evil...someone needs to takeover

Post by holaback »

So as we all know resident evil isn't the same game you played prior to part 4 and the game has become much more main stream. It is no longer puzzle oriented and more action oriented these days.

I know there is a huge fan base of the old style of game play and someone should create a new series that follow the game play of the old cause it's clear capcom isn't looking to do so. Just don't have it made by a US developer and everything will be fine. (Silent hill US team anyone? They ruined the franchise.

I hated RE5, there was little to no evolution in the gameplay dept if anything it took a step back. Level design was poorly planned no good brainteasing puzzles? The forced co-op took something away from the intensity of the game as well and the AI sucked balls. Ditching the briefcase concept was a big mistake and was the one thing they should have kept from RE4. And most importantly, I just didn't find it fun to play, just frustrating so whats the point. Big disapointment if you ask me, but some people I know enjoyed it though. Maybe there a glutton for punishment. And I totally agree with you on Homecoming. Just saying the word Double Helix puts throwup in the back of my throat.

my biggest complaint was the forced co-op, i mean i love the old and new resident evils, but i hated how my teamate would always block my view, it got to be annoying at certain times, that said, i should get some friends to solve that problem

I'd like an RE game that had a full start to end plot in one game. I've lost track of most the story now, and they aren't helping with the newer games.

I think Capcom has lost track as well.

Did the lead designer of the RE series say that the next game was going to be a reboot?



I think something along those lines (without the ghosts, RE needs something more 'realistic' like a virus outbreak or parasite. Ghosts are just too unreal and makes the game a bit tacky).

That beta footage from RE4 was more like a combination of RE2 and RE4 with the changed viewpoint but creating more ambience. Plus the graphics looked sweet for a GC game.

If the new RE game is more like this then I'd be all for it.

Could you explain this better? Why you think Homecoming is bad that is. One single game doesn't ruin a franchise either, it just deteriorates over time. Maybe this is more of a sign that Silent Hill is getting old anyway?
