1UP: Capcom considering series 'reboot' for Resident Evil 6

A lot of people liked the original style of Resident evil before 4.Some Survival Horor fans feel a bit alienated with RE:4 and 5.

If you ask me making the main characters soldiers kind of ruin it since ya know they supposely know how to fight,like F.E.A.R is not too scary for the fact you are a super soldier than can move in bullet time.

If you ask me I feel RE abandoned its roots after Code Veronica but a Reboot (Off topic:I loved that show) at this point eh why not make RE:6 like the original games?

Well at least its better than going the Dino Crisis way.

Code Verionica was probably what did it, since that game was terrible in every way possible. I also think they took too long to capitalize on 4's success, since it's been 4 years since the last game came out. Even the gap between the first 3 games was only about 3-4 years. And while RE2 kept the same gameplay mecahnics as RE1, everything else seemed to improve in so many ways.

I thought Code veronica was pretty good, except for the sniper part, but otherwise the strongest of the original RE games. Thinking about it RE was never incredible just good and we all liked because it was something different. If we want to play some action game with tons of gore we have Gears of war already.

I always consider Silent hill better series, the best horror game is of course Fatal Frame II but man III is so tedious. Yes recreating the same thing in a horror movie works but just in a psychological thriller and just for a brief time and only if it’s valuable to the plot otherwise is freaking boring.

I happened to love RE: Code Veronica, I got stuck on it, like litterally stuck, only 3 pistol shots left and had to fight veronica with a knife, so it was impossible for me to get farther without restarting.

I also was a giant fan of RE2.

lol, that happened to me as well. I thought i was playing it safe with 20 ink ribbons remaining.

I just found it to be an aggravating experience. RE2 is still my favorite, RE3 was good as well.

Ya gotta have RE on RAILS!! Everyone loves a RAILS game!!

lawlz, I got stuck like that in CV also! Had to restart the game, which was cool with me because I think Code Veronica is a great game, then and now.

I also agree that the older games are far more intense, the feeling of surviving is really really intense in REmake, that's what they did with pre-renders back in 2002. I'd love to see a new pre-rendered RE game made today. While I love 4 to death and back to life again, the feeling is not the same....it FEELS more 'adventurey' than survival, which is what you were concerned with when you were going to Lisa's cabin in the woods....feeling like you were walking into something really bad.

Not quite sure what the fucking deal is with the huge arms on Redfield now either, big turn off, RE has never been about super sized heroes, it's been about the quasi-average person being put in a horrible situation that will likely result in their death, while periodically fighting super sized boss things. Whatever the deal is (thanx gears 4 idea! - ccom) it's a turn off for me. I haven't played the demo, nor do I own a PS3, but 5 looks like it's just smacking of zero and four elements...in a higher resolution.

It would be a shame for Capcom to further dilute the series by catering to a group of people that apparently have never played an RE game before and are complaining that it doesn't play like their fav game. RE did not gain it's position by being flexible, it did so by being consistently tense, a combination of the story, controls and camera view.

6 should be helmed by someone that knows how to get horror onto a disk, the best person in my eyes would be Mikami.....too bad he cut his head off. It should offer a switchable camera view, ala old school or 'easy weezy' 3rd person over dat scholda-boi, and it should make you shit your pants at 2am when playing alone.

and they should remake 2. get crackin capcom.

What I liked about RE4 was being able to shoot individual body parts and get accompanying reactions.

If RE gets rebooted or we see a engine change I would love to bring back old school zombies, tight spaces (not too much though), but still be able to aim where I want.

I imagine zombies moving slow but in masses. And they'd have individual life bars (though not visible) for limbs like Fallout. That way you can blow off an arm and they'd still keep coming. Blow off a leg and they collapse and continue by crawling while getting tramples by other zombies. Do enough damage to the dome and BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Nobody was crying and bitching about controls before the demo for 5. This is a response to all the complaints. The next RE will be a generic shooter.

"Nobody was crying and bitching about controls before the demo"

Well... yeah... that's kinda the point: the demo, the thing that DEMONSTRATES how the game works, gave people an informed opinion about the game. Just think about how stupid your statement is for a second.

Left 4 Dead gave me more of a thrill than RE5. Stand at the window and swing your blade over and over. Or the fact they will watch you reload instead of attacking you. I'm scared... Resident Evil died at 4 for me, 5 was a joke. If they reset RE series, let it be more like the original.

Good Lord, yes. Remember the Licker in RE2 crawling across the window? That's the kind of game that scared the piss out of you.

People wouldn't have a problem with the controls if they were part of the feeling of helplessness that was the core of the early games. Either the controls or the linear-horde-gauntlet gameplay have to go.

This.

Haunting grounds says hello.

The entire purpose of a demo is to entice you to buy the full game. It should be a taste of the best the game has to offer. The RE5 demo did not entice me.

A demo does only give you a taste of what's to come, but one thing that won't change is the controls.....which was an awful taste of things to come with RE 5.

Bwah?! R u kiDDing meh?!

I wish L4D had RE controls!!
It's all about TEH TENSION and TEH REALISM!!

RE5 could also do with a bit of creepy Witch sobbing.

Wrong, they are responsive. You just dont like how they are set up.

Also, RE4 > every game =P

Wow, does that MD at the end of your name mean you're a doctor because if so I have little faith in the medical system these days.

Seriously two completely different games. No need for comparison.

Hey! You guys know what game was so damn hell awesome? Dead Space. I want Dead Space 2 right now! Right now, EA. Hear?

I want to see RE6 on ice. do it capcom. do it.

The controls do everything I tell them to. Perhaps you need to change batteries? Or perhaps not play it like a shooter?

Bwah?! R u kiDDing meh?!

I wish DEAD SPACE had RE controls!!
It's all about TEH TENSION and TEH REALISM!!

that he should do before 6 i mean

Don't use the effing knife. Punch zombies after you shoot them in the groin. a thousand times more effective!

ahh yes i forgot about that. good point. But then why use the knife at all?

Pretty sure at some point there will be old school zombies in the game. Lickers are in and several other classic monsters were confirmed as well to be in.

RE was big before 4. They made 2 movies about the series before that you know.

you forgot the part where they repeat the process two more times.
