Resident Evil reboot possible

My Resident Evil series died after Resident Evil 3. Some people claim RE4 was the best but I believe that's the origin of Capcom's failure (esp. Plaga). RE4 was good but they should've not release it under the main storyline of Resident Evil.  Predecessor RE5, RE6 are definitely failure copies of RE4; Capcom gave too much super abilities to main characters and turned game from Survival Horror to Survival Action.  

If they are only targeting for mass, then they should keep doing what they are doing right now but the game value depreciate in short time (RE6: $59.99 - $39.99 in just 3 months LOL) then Capcom require to spam bunch of small Add-ons to cover up losses. They should definitely need to spend some time to develop next RE.  Core Resident Evil fans are getting tired and out of patient.

If they are really thinking about rebooting Resident Evil, I think open world style is good consideration.  RE4, RE5, RE6 storylines are so linear and way too scripted. I would love to see Resident Evil in massive map like Fallout series and Skyrim series.  It would be very interesting if PC version of open-world RE is moddable like Bethesda games and Capcom officially support mods.

Lastly, Capcom, please stop adding bunch of short movies, cut scenes, and button smashing crap in the next Resident Evil series... people are tired of those "Hollywood Style Visual Effects" and smashing buttons... all the cut scenes give us too much information and game turns out very very very predictable...

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Capcom, that was your mistake with RE6.

old camera and amazing graphics,

i think its better to mix the camera style ,mix RE clasic  camera style and the new style camera like re4

we need re 1,re 0,re 2, re 3 re Cv ,re 2,re 2,re 2 re 2 remak with many stupid zombie.

no open world .

well the game needs a reboot but keep it under 3 titles or it will lose the elements of surprises

When 9 out of 10 resident evil fans BEGGING for a Resident evil 2 remake or something similar for more than 4 - 5 years now ( after RE4 fiasco then RE5 fail and RE6 epic fail ) on official capcom forums and not only ....

They still need to wait for players feedback in order to understand which is the best direction to take in order to revive RE series ? Unbeleivable...

Crapcom...

Honestly, they just need to produce a game with the same initial theme they had in the first three instalments. I just stopped caring after RE4 simply because the fear aspect was no longer applied and continued with unrealistic weaponry and random accounts of zombie infections that were not likely possible. I miss the feeling of fear when you had to enter a new room, concerned about whether or not a zombie would await you; the interactive dialog with the doors and people's notes, also the ambient sounds and creepy music that made me on edge. It's not too late, the series can be revived if they just payed attention. What destroyed them was their attempt to appeal to a new audience.

Resident Evil on Gamecube was the way it should be. These new 3rd person style Resi games are not the same. The series has only died since they changed the formula. I miss the exploration and the puzzles. I actually enjoyed back-tracking, spending most of the game in one mansion. As a guy who grew up with Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil when first released on Playstation was the game I've always waited for, and each instalment had me running to the shops. Since part 4 I just don't care anymore. Please Capcom, listen to your fans... reset Resident Evil to how it used to be. Make some games that fill in the 10 year gap of Code Veronica and Resi 4.

Put the old girl out of her misery, Capcom.  This series is no longer salvageable.  Move on to something new.

at this point it doesn't even need a reboot. it just needs to be put to rest. How long does this story need to be dragged out? it's over. Reboot dino crisis or something instead

I say "no" to open world.  Use the tried and true formula and make it even scarier.

Whatever path they take I'll support RE wholeheartedly 

Personally, what made RE so good for me was the non-linear exploration of the mansions and the interconnectedness of the rooms.  I mean, how many different ways could you go to get to a different room,  with their own creepy crawlies inside and not knowing whether or not what was in that room was going to kill you?  it made the whole survival aspect more real, and just walking into a whole room of zombies or mutant dogs while your heart monitor ominously flashes a deep red makes me nervous.  Bring that fear back!

they need to take a good look at the sales over the years... resident evil 1 amazing so was 2 and 3, and code veronica even resident evil 0 and i have to say 4 was good but 5 personally they should go back to the old ways its the only choice capcom have or they will destroy it..

[quote]"If we did [go with an open-world], we would want to preserve what Resident Evil is and what makes it appealing to fans, while also making it accessible to new players."[/quote]

am  wrong or they didn't learn from their mistake... making the game accessible to new players is what make RE6 failed!

Personally I think it's time Capcom went back to square one with the series. Maybe a total remake of the first one should be considered. Just imagine how eerie they could make the dark damp corridors of the mansion feel with the graphical capabilities of today. I was absolutely shocked at how bad RE6 was, the graphics were terrible, the levels were linear, the scripts average at best! I play with a full surround sound system and at no point did RE6 give me the frights that Dead Space 2 served up. The benchmark has been set, it's time to wake up Capcom and look at what the rest are doing - you might just learn something! ;-)

I'd be more than happy with REmake and 0 as downloads thank you. Operation was a somewhat reboot and was pretty much 'lacking' so please.. I hope the reboot idea is idle talk. Just make 7 more like the Gamecube games & everyone's happy.

SOMETHING has to be done with RE, like starting with dropping the rating back to T, but the game has always had mechanical issues and pretty big design flaws, so talks are really the order of the day if that's what it takes to cure these games and make them into something that I can consider worthwhile even from a gameplay standpoint.

Ugh.... I kind of find that reboots in video games has been becoming a trend, and I think its an easy way out, I believe that Resident Evil truly can continue with what it has now, I say either make a new Resident Evil concentrating on Claire Redfield, or a whole new character, but make him/her original, I didn't like how they made like a second Chris for RE6 and a Wesker Jr. I was talking with my friends how MGS2 sort of sucked because people wanted more of Snake, it was too soon to throw in this new character Raiden making him to overall major concentration, but I feel with RE, it could work, and that its actually well overdue, RE is no doubt withering, if they could pull off an amazing sequel it'll get them more kudos than an amazing reboot, which probably everyone would be happy with right now

I just played hours of DmC. This is not classy, subtle or dark as the first one, the character is horrible, and the style/music/theme vulgar. But this is really great Reboot with completely original take, funny teen universe, and complete action schemes.

It won't work for Resident Evil. If they want to reboot it, they need to make it even more creepy and scary than the first one while keeping a bit of action rythme because times, graphics and tastes have evolved. They won't succeed.

HOWEVER they need and can reboot Onimusha.

OMG I am so fed up with the whole 're-boot a series' every 5 years or less concept.

If the IP is dead then its time to move on - more new inovative IP's required not reboot. 

Both movies and games are dying on their ass because of the whole lazy reboot concept  - I refuse to watch another 'reboot' movie and will now do the same with video games.

Everyone needs to evaluate their habits if they want gaming and movies to survive.

"Capcom has previously said a Resident Evil 2 remake is possible with enough fan support." 

We have been waiting for a Resident Evil 2 remake since the first Resident Evil was remade on the GameCube

I DEFINITELY SUPPORT RE2 REMAKE !!! 

Well, I guess the rest is up to the more like we receive which should reassure them our determination.

At least the man is speaking right. Taking into consideration what complaints the fans have made is a start, I personally liked RE6 and you can't really hate a long running company too much for making an effort to go into a direction that they might of felt successful for them.

What if RE6 was a success to the fans? Again, at least the man is speaking with a patient mind, saying they need to do what we have been saying and that's listen to US, the buyers.

One possibility for the future of Resident Evil, Kawata said, is for Capcom to place greater focus on the horror component, making "something scarier than we have already." 

You think?  The current games have literally zero horror element to them.  Greater is only an accurate word if it currently existed in theseries, but it doesn't

REBOOT.. Focus on atmosphere and suspense please..... Damn you did so good with the games 1, 2, and 3... even 4 had good atmosphere... just reboot it completely... keep it simple and for god sakes bring back puzzles.

Now just give me Outbreak in the Playstation Store.

capcom you guys are fucking up, you forgot to mention the DLC!

Thank you Based Gawd. For the company has heard my crys!

Dear Capcom,

As a long time Resident Evil fan having played every game in the franchise i honestly have to say that this series is indeed due for a reboot the same way you have Ninja Theory reboot Devil May cay.

If i may make a suggestion you should consider taking idea from games like Dead Space, Left 4 dead and even Dead Island (well mostly Dead space) and make the next RE game more survival horror and less like an action game.

Oh! and Capcom. two games i would probably like to see return the to gaming scene are Onimusha and if possible a new Dino Crisis game(s)

Bout time.. maybe they should start remaking RE1 then 2 and 3.. i'd love to see Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca and wesker in full HD like in RE5 reunion.. :D so awesome!

I think it would be awesome if they rebooted the older games with updated graphics. I played the RE remake on the gamecube and it creeped me out. That is what they should do with RE2 and RE3.

stuff happens

RIP Resident Evil. You served us proud up until RE5 where you suddenly started to dabble is strange practises and totally messed up the formula. squidoo.com/gamelover-co-uk  With this open world idea they really have little left to lose. So go for it Capcom !  the mighty always fall, but true heroes get up and fight!
