I've only attempted to play 2 on the N64, which I sucked at. I also played the demo for 6. But I prefer to watch somebody play them instead of me playing them. XD

I've seen Dad play...

The Future of Resident Evil

The Resident Evil franchise has been beloved to many, or at least was. Despite the release of Resident Evil: Revelations many people have given up on the franchise thanks to the horror and co-op focused mainline Resident Evil releases. A Capcom released article titled The Secret of Success “Resident Evil” stresses that “there is a constant need to gain new users” which can also be interpreted as “we want a wider audience”.

The article also goes on to explain that “the main user group is now in their late-30s to 40s” due to the age of the Resident Evil franchise. This is their reasoning behind needing new users all the time. The Resident Evil games have always strived to be in the style of a Hollywood horror film, which is why the original Japanese release had English voice-overs in favour of Japanese.

Since the success of Resident Evil 4 was so big they sought to replicate that, to further increase their sales. Which they achieved with the release of Resident Evil 5 and later Resident Evil 6 with a modest 5.2 million sales. Despite the large amount of sales Capcom was unsatisfied, since its prequel sold an additional 1.2 million sales. So they claim to return to the horror roots with 7. Whether or not this will be true remains to be seen, they may very well see Resident Evil 5 as a horror game where many fans do not.

Capcom has seen a decrease in profits, despite their increase in sales. This clearly shows that they are expanding and spending far too much. Their ambition has overtaken what they can handle. Capcom are notorious for squeezing every last cent out of their consumer-base by relentlessly releasing large amounts of micro-transactions and on disc DLC. Their justifications for such are always pitiful and transparent.

Yet they still boast that Resident Evil as a franchise is a success. Which is probably true but it makes one wonder if they aren’t spending too much of their budget on marketing and not enough on video game production. Along side the success of Monster Hunter, Street Fighter and Dragon’s Dogma you would think that they would be gaining in profit, not losing it.

What does the profit loss mean for Resident Evil? It means that they will want to make it as mainstream as possible whilst keeping just enough of the original franchise to keep the fan base happy. Although if it weren’t for the Revelations release, there probably wouldn’t be much of a dedicated fan base left, at least not those who have followed the series from the original release. Yet they claim that their dedicated fan base aged 35-40 is their biggest consumer-base.

It seems that Resident Evil 7 will most likely be a homage to Resident Evil 5 thanks to the “disappointing” sales of 6, hopefully they will keep to their word about returning to horror, however if they keep in the co-op aspect it’s unlikely that this will be achieved.

Resident Evil 7 Aside, These Are Some Solid Remake Ideas

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Edward Moyles

Most Resident Evil fans out there are truly disappointed on the course the game is going. Capcom has once again failed to appeal the huge Resident Evil fan base with RE6. To add salt to the wound, the game developer was quick to commence RE7’s development.

All that aside, many fans have been sharing their ideas that will save RE from an imminent extinction.Redditor Rlouchart revealed that this can be done with a future title that is a remake of the first trilogy, which is the best among all.

However, the remake should be created with precision, taking contents that can provide players with the horror they have all missed. The game developer can call them The Arklay Incident followed by Racoon City Incident and City of The Dead since RE2 and 3 is only 3 days gap between each other.

There are some features from the latest title that can be considered in the game. They are great but like many said, poorly executed by Capcom. One such thing is RE6’s game mechanic which is worth applauding. Maybe the remake can get these sorts of mechanics to it.

Finally is the multiplayer. Don’t spoil the thrill with another person behind your back. Perhaps do a GTA 5 and create 2 separate characters which will eventually meet up. That would be much better and will preserve the thrill and horror to the game.

The user added that Sony is patenting their new Virtual reality headset for the PS4 console and it will offer a much more dynamic experience to the players.
With such a device along with a proper remake, RE will definitely be a perfect case of the dead coming back to life!
