I meant game title is not creative.. RE 1,2,3,4,5 and so on... (it's not hard to guess what the next RE game is going to be..i say RE8 ) just repetative, not creative..
Names I can live with. The state of the boxart on the other hand.....

Well Megaman will be in Smash Bros...
Bleh, Tank Controls. Can we go, like, Eternal Darkness controls?If it doesn't have tank controls, IT'S CRRRRAP
Why would you want a "creative" and possibly confusing title instead of a neat number with a possible sub-title? Numbers are there so that gamers don't have to ponder about series continuity and have the developers pull one out of their ass like it was the case with The Legend of Zelda.
When you are a CREATIVE developer, you don't pull that out of your..err...ass as you say..you just know and it comes into your imagination naturally what should the next game be called..its called creative inspiration..but that comes from creating something out of love and not out of desire to make more money and keep rolling dead log.Numbers are there so that gamers don't have to ponder about series continuity and have the developers pull one out of their ass like it was the case with The Legend of Zelda.
The title doesn't change the game in any shape or form. If Resident Evil 6 was instead called Resident Evil: Leon's Requiem, it would still be a sh*tty game. The number is a matter of consistency, not creativity. It's not a complex matter - either you're creative and manage to deliver a well-made and engaging game... or you don't.Its called creativity and it's beyond explanation. It's like asking "why does universe exist".
Art and creativity is not all about numbers. imo it's interesting hawing creative title of the game... i dont remember Metroid fusion is called Metroid 4..it is 4th metroid game, but its not called 4 but fusion, and it has some meaning..like fusion of x's and samus body, it gave a hint and it tickles imagination... and what is RE6 (6 zombies?) RE7 (7 zombies..one more zombie than in RE6) and it doesnt even deserve brand name of "Resident Evil" imo.
And also, its plain and boring hawing title like 1,2,3,4... etc...
If you're trying to imply that Nintendo planned TLoZ's timeline ahead of schedule and totally didn't make it up on the spot because it was demanded by the fans, you're delusional. TLoZ games were always adventures in and out of themselves and rarely picked up where the previous ones left off, they were stuck together with spit and papier-mâché to appease the fans who looked for continuity where there was none.And as for: When you are a CREATIVE developer, you dont pull that out of your..err...ass as you say..you just know and it comes into your imagination naturally what should the next game be called..its called creative inspiration..but that comes from creating something out of love and not out of desire to make more money and keep rolling dead log.

Speaking of Metroid... Metroid, Metroid 2: Return of Samus, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Numbers equal convenience for people who want to play games in order, it's that simple. They're not necessary, but they're convenient and they're not a sign of lack of creativity - poor games are. As for sub-titles, they're nice, but also optional.corruptions...echoes..return of samus...
I dont see something on RE6 or 7 except..well..6 & 7
Names I can live with. The state of the boxart on the other hand.....
That just means Nintendo has problems with using convenient numbers for some reason. Numbers equal convenience for people who want to play games in order, it's that simple.

What... is that thing...?

And as i remember, when i love a game i don't have a ponder over a name..i just realize over time why they decided to called a game the way they did, and its just more interesting knowing how much care they put in the game.
But i agree on one thing...they SHOULD number the game next to some weird title so i can know where it stands in the series.
Huh. You'd think Capcom would cool it off with the Resident Evil series for a bit after the failure that was RE6.
Well, I hope they at least learned something...maybe...that'll make this one as good as 4.
4 was crap tho, 123 ReRemake CV & 0 is real survival horror.
The creativity of a title has nothing to do with the creativity of the game. Resident Evil 6 wouldn't be good if you called it something original, like, I don't know, "Wubbalubbadubdubs." The original Katamari Damacy wouldn't have been any less creative if it was called "Sphere 2: The Revenge."
Titles are there for marketing and recognition, pure and simple. They don't (necessarily) reflect the game itself at all.
Metoroid0
What's a better Title, Mario Kart Wii or Mario Kart 6?
They are both lame and uncreative but Mario kart 6 at least tells you which number it has in the series, which is probably why the newer games are called Mario Kart 7 & Mario Kart 8 and not Mario Kart 3DS and Mario Kart Wii U.
That's you opinion. For me it's not just recognition, it's a part of the game as game it self is.
And by the way, as a said earlier, i dont say that creative title has something to do with how good and creative the game is. When i say cretive title, i mean TITLE, not the game-play. and by the way, by GAME it's meant the whole game and that includes the title..so yes, title is important in the game but not in game play..
I hope you realize i speak in my name. so this is ofc mu opinion..
A game and its title are two separate things; a game (or movie, or book, or song, etc.) wouldn't be any different if it had a different title or no title at all. In the words of Willem Shakesman, "A Rumble Roses by any other name would still be just as sweet."
No, they are not. its a part of the game, it makes it complete. I agree on that Willem quote (except this rose is not sweet), and i say it again..i never said that hawing different name would affect game-play (i mean its logical..can you be a different human being by changing a name? answer: no) but gameplay can affect title and that is how title is made, just like a nickname.
but numbering a game is in no way creative. its like we are all called not "Metoroid0" but "number 4"And why is your temp name "Gahars" and not a number? (rhetorical question)
I know it does not matter to you all gujs, but i'm just referring to title ALONE.
RE franchise needs to die or at least, a reboot. resident evil 4,5,6 are just meh. I prefer the classics.
