Interesting.  From the description, it seems more Silent Hill-ish than RE oriented.

Mikami is upset with the direction the survival horror genre is going and becoming action. He wants to make a game that is just pure horror as it should be.

Even though he helped start the shift with RE4.  Its a bit like a mad scientist warning the villagers that his monster got loose.  :laugh:

RE4 was nothing impressive. I expect to see something out of this game though. If he can't bring what we need to redirect the horror as it needs to be then all horror games are doomed.

RE4 was garbage and was ultimately the reason the series sucks so bad.

My top 5 RE games are:

1. Resident Evil Outbreak
2. Resident Evil Outbreak 2
3. Resident Evil 2
4. Resident Evil 3
5. Resident Evil Code Veronica

Im REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping RE7 returns to the series roots. But for now, "The Evil Within" from bethesda seems like the only modern thing closest to RE roots.

I think the RE Series as we knew it is totally gone, period. 

Although I did enjoy RE4 (and replayed it 22 times), it definitely wasn't an RE game really in hardly any sense of the word.  Still, I could have adapted, but RE5 and RE6 destroyed any chance of that.

Like I've said before, RE4 was a fun game if taken on its own terms.  But its terrible as a RE game.  Storywise it sucked, too.  Umbrella goes out of business off-screen, Leon becomes James Bond, etc.  By 5 and 6, Capcom was making a mockery of a once-great series.

I do have high hopes for The Evil Within though.  Anyone see the leaked footage?  It definitely has a RE3.5 look to it.   8)

^ I'll agree with that.  RE4 was so different, it was easy to treat it as a whole other, separate game.  I've always considered Code Veronica as the true "RE4" and there, sadly, the franchise ended for me.

Ive said this so many times before lol!

This is how i truly consider the series:

RE0 = RE0
RE1 = RE1
RE2 = RE2
RE3 = RE3
RE CV = RE4
Outbreak = RE5
Outbreak 2 = RE6

And the 2 outbreaks i consider as RE5 and RE6. Sure, they were made after RE CV so it would make no sense to say they have a number after, however, they are really relevant titles and are more true RE than the actual RE5/RE6.



The rest, i consider mere Spinoffs. I no longer pay attention to the numbering because RE4/5/6 are not worthy of being numbered entries.

Truth.  For me, the worst parts of RE4 were when they tried to connect the game to the earlier series.  (Example:  Krauser talking about restoring Umbrella.)  Just admit that you abandoned the classic RE story arc and gameplay style, and instead invented an entirely new IP with the title 'Resident Evil 4' slapped on it.   :rolleyes:

Also true.   :ajajaxh5:

Thats just like the situation with the "Spyro the dragon" IP. Activision created Skylanders, but, threw spyro and 2 other spyro related characters in the game, with absolutely no ties to the real spyro series, and slapped the name "Skylanders: SPYROS adventure" on it as a selling point to start up their new cash cow. Poor spyro looks like he got hit by a bus and had to have his face reconstructed by a hobo doctor in an alleyway with a rustey needle and some other old stuff.

The only good thing to come out of RE 5 and 6 was the mercs levels. Fuck the game itself. :P

Resident Evil 1.5 vanilla 40% build has leaked. (The non modified one!)

Get it by searching online. I don't think I should post it here.
