[Kawata and I] are playing blackjack to see who has the responsibility of next episode of series. It doesn't appear either of us is going to be in charge. I can't say much at this time.

You said REboot.  I thought of the TV show.  I'm currently disappointed.  lol

I would love to see an old style Resident Evil on next gen.

I haven't played it yet, but isn't 5 supposed to tie up the millions of lose ends in the RE series? If that is so then a reboot is really the only way to keep making money from Resident Evil.

RE5 was so bland and uninteresting.

 I want to go back to the good old days in the mansion.  Just the atmosphere of that place felt eerie, its hard to explain, but its like you could almost smell what the air must have been like in that old mansion.  The dated wall paper and flooring was just creepy.

 I love Co-op, but that was just the last straw for me, not only are you playing the role of a machine gun toting powerlifter army badass, but now you have backup?  I want to look at a hallway and feel nervous again... is that too much to ask?

Let's not turn this thread into another RE5 hate-fest, shall we? That's not the main topic of discussion.

Another Reboot of the series seems obvious, considering the way RE5's plot was wrapped up. However, I doubt we will see any hint of RE6 for a long time, and even then it will go through like 4 iterations before we get an actual game. My second biggest problem with RE5 (the biggest being the lack of Merchant) is the lack of creepy atmosphere. At least RE4 had a sense of ominous gloom throughout. I would like to see them try to make the series scary again.

"As for this thread...of COURSE there will be major changes.  They see how well Gears of War sells, so they'll be turning it into Gears of Evil. "

No we shant make it a RE5 hate fest and thank you for refocusing the thread by making the exact same points about the direction of the series that I did.

Ahh...they've lost me, i stopped liking the series at 4 and they've lost me pretty much since then when it comes to resident evil.
*caresses his gamecube copies of resident 0-nemesis he pain stakingly tracked down for a decent price* i love you yes i do! *turns his nose up at resident evil 4 and 5*

...It was just like 4 and that came about 2 years before GoW...

I'm happy they are going to change things up. I think it's the right decision, though I doubt it will reach the level of appraisal that RE4 received. I'm sure it will cause a ruckus on forums all over the web.

Wouldn't mind seeing the mansion again, and the woods outside which you get a brief look at in the opening to RE1, and more puzzles please.

I think the series needs to keep the current engine, but needcs to go back to what it was, less tentacles, more classic zimbie action in confined space.

For example if they made RE1 with the modern engine, i'd buy it for sure.

They should look to Dead Space, that game's great.

DEFINITELY wouldn't mind A REBOOT. The entire Resident Evil saga HAS JUST gotten so FUCKIN CONVOLUTED and insane that they MIGHT AS well purge IT AND get back to WHAT IT USED to be all about: making ME JUMP out of my FUCKIN PANTS in terror.

Damn this topic is old.

Like a broken record I'll say again; I miss the macabre, slow terror of the first few RE's. 4 was fun as a game in general, 5 I had zero interest in because it became so laughably terrible story-wise I couldn't get into it. 
 
Maybe I'm alone here but I LOVED the pre-rendered backgrounds and camera angles. Ah, nostalgia.

I thought Linkyshinks had returned there for a second....I think there's something in Revelations about his return.

Absolutely. I played and enjoyed 4, but it was just nowhere near the amount of awesome fun I had in RE1 and 2. 
 
Having that dude randomly smashing through a wall and chasing you (was it Nemesis?) throughout RE2 was terrifying. Actually, I got a similar feeling from those monsters that you had to stare at for them not to attack you in Metro 2033. "

The one with or without tentacles? The tough night club bouncer guy in the trench coat was Mr X. Yeah he gave me plenty of jumps back in the day. Especially when you collect the cog from that painting for him to smash through, you beat him, make your way outside and back to the main hall only for him to smash yet another wall. @.@  Seriously, guy was probably the Koolaid man under that coat.
