OMG another RE game?

what a twist! totally unexpected!

 

[Gahars]

Not quite worth its own news post, but... Capcom is investing $78 million into Research and Development.

Could some of this end up as RE&D? Was that the best I could really do?

Probably and yes, sadly.

You know what? I agree. Fuck people who want a company to make good games like they used to useless rabble rabble rabble

Since when "old standard" means "good game"? They switched from a certain gameplay to another. Fuck them, right?

They abandoned the fans that made the series popular in the first place in the name of capturing a "broader audience". If they wanted a game to capture a broader audience, they could have made a game in that vein without hijacking, if you will, a series that had built it's reputation from completely different gameplay.

Did you even play RE5 and/or 6? it is no longer a survival horror game. It is basically shot anything that moves game. Which is fine if the franchise is a shooter game but RE established itself as a survival horror game.

Seriously, though... eh. The Resident Evil franchise is more like a zombie than its monsters now. Just let it die with whatever's left of its dignity.

What. Why just let it die? The franchise became massive for a reason, Capcom just need to steer it in a better direction. Perhaps a direction where Chris Redfield doesn't punch boulders whilst being inside a volcano. Or a direction where zombies don't take cover and fire AK-47's at you. There's still life (hur) left in the franchise, Capcom just needs to stop making...consecutive errors with it.

Of course Resident Evil is going to go on - it's too big of a brand to let go. I'm just tired of it at this point. I'm the same way with Star Wars - it's not impossible that someone could make a good movie, but after everything with the prequels, I just don't care anymore.

That's fair enough. I feel that Capcom has tarnished the brand with poor decisions such as Resident Evil 6 and arguably 5, Operation Raccoon City, The Mercenaries (3DS), and several catastrophically poor plot choices. I guess there's always that hope that they'll return to what made the franchise great.

Revelations was a step in the right direction, but not quite there. Sadly whatever Revelations did to recover the franchise was destroyed by Operation Raccoon City and RE6. GG Capcom. I still have hope that they'll sort the franchise out, but things are looking like RE will soon become a Jill sandwich.

Not quite worth its own news post, but... Capcom is investing $78 million into Research and Development.

"...to give its developers a "competitive advantage" in the "rapidly growing mobile content and PC online games markets.""

"...rapidly growing mobile content and PC online games markets."

"...mobile content..."

This better mean 3DS and Vita. I swear, if this means more games like Dead Rising Mobile and Monster Hunter Dynamic Hunting, Capcom is finished.

I would like to see more suspense and drama than action. The action will come. Let the story and difficulty drive the game naturally. I also want semi-static cameras back, like in Code: Veronica X

This is just a rumour, anything can spread.
