Capcom want you to tell them exactly what's right (& what's wrong) with the Resident Evil franchise

TheGamingLiberty.com:

"Capcom are asking followers on Facebook to tell them what they think the company are doing right and they need to work on when it comes to the Resident Evil franchise."

[Warprincess116]

There nothing wrong with RE. I love that it an action adventure title. Playing mercenaries is really fun. Capcom plz don't change a thing. Make RE6 more faster and have more enemies on screen.

[Dart89]

PLz Capcom don't listen to her she dosen't know what she's talking about.

Edit:Wait how are you playing Mercenaries if you're always bashing Nintendo consoles??This just proves you hate for no reason :D.

[fluffydelusions]

Capcom just needs to go back and look at RE 1-3 for how to do it right.

[Army_of_Darkness]

For some strange reason, that title just made me burst out laughing!
But if capcom is being serious... I would like a blend of re2 and re4!

Did warprincess just start gaming this gen!?!! Wtf!?

[MaxXAttaxX]

No.
Go play COD.

@Dart89
Mercenaries is also a game mode found in RE4(GC/PS2) and RE5(PS3, 360).

[Redrum059]

i love the old fashioned zombies with the white eyes son.

[Anarki]

take it back to its roots... I loved res then, couldn't give a **** about it now.. :(

[lizard81288]

lol, as if Capcom would listen to anybody. They are probably just building hype for Revelations or something.

Remember those 3 character DLC polls for MvC3, and they have done nothing with them. Or when Megaman wasn't included and everybody cried about it, and they said Megaman was too blasty
>_>

[DarkTower805]

Get rid of the wonky control scheme.

[gaffyh]

It doesn't feel like a survival horror any more. Whilst RE5 was good, all action and no survival horror, other than low ammo, does not make it very good. It would be better if they paced it a bit more, put some decent puzzles in and put a lot more survival aspects in.

[DrRichtofen]

Capcom make it scary like dead space1. I'm sorry to say this but....I wanna be freakin the fuck out when I play.
*excuse my french

edit- Ohh Yeah I would also like to be able to walk and shoot at the same time, and ditch the single player co-op I don't mind if the is another version of the campaign with co-op, but have one that doesn't, that chick was just retarded. And having a partner takes away from the scary all alone feeling.

[trainsinrdr]

Haha your cool lets hook up

[MagicAccent]

Don't confuse capcom with sarcasm..

Instead let's all shout:
ZOMBIES! Damnit! Bring back zombies!

For crying out loud; we want to shoot ZOMBIES! Not ethnic groups with mutated swine-flu!

[General Shrooms]

You Are A Troll

[KwietStorm_BLM]

No.

[Liquid_Ocelot]

(-) action
(++++) survival horror
(++++) and then some more

[chidori666]

lol @princess :D

[scofios]

Whats wrong ????

Bring back Mikami , second make it scary again ,and make it survial horror game not all action , a not day setting only like re5 who the fu@k get scared at day , and please dont try to make it western by giving to B western developers aka ( bionic commando , dead rising 2 , dark void ) .

[Zanarkand]

??? Why are you here? Don't you know any better that the likes of you are usually, frequently, almost always, 99% of the time in the kitchen.

[ReservoirDog316]

Haha, wow. Some people just completely think the opposite from everyone else.

I say, try to figure out what made RE4 so good and try harder.

[SwilloTGL]

I'd like if Resident Evil scared me the way it used to like back in the days of the Nemesis. He used to terrify me.

[cervantes99]

I think to accomplish that goal Swillo, they would have to remove the mandatory co-op from the single player. Leave co-op as an option for those who enjoyed it, but RE needs to go back to feeling like your alone and have no idea what is around the next corner.

[LordMegatron]

I feel the same way, Mr. X used to scare the hell out
of me when I played part 2's B scenario

[fantasygamer]

BRING BACK THE SURVIVAL HORROR ASPECT! and the zombies and Biological monsters like Tyrent, Nemesis and the others.

[GodsHand]

It's too predictable, make the enemy spawn points random.

[SinnedNogara]

Better than Power Ranger Jill :P

[koehler83]

Stupid Facebook

[8bit_Nes_Rambo]

Implement move and shoot mechanics and make larger areas for exploration, bring back the horror and atmosphere. Simple really.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I think the smaller, claustrophobic areas areas are actually a big part of that atmosphere. Larger, open areas give you more of a sense of easy escape. That's my opinion anyway. The first area of Resident Evil 4 in the village with the fog and dead trees was really the only good horror atmosphere in the whole game.

[Pintheshadows]

I agree completely. Having claustrophobic enviroments really ups the tension and panic. I also want to see less ammunition so you have to pick and choose your battles. Oh, and a melee system which isn't a complete joke.

I think they also need to find a new creepier environment. Africa in the sunshine (as nice as it looked) isn't scary or atmospheric at all. I'd quite like a depressing drab rainy enviroment to really drill the point of hopelessness home.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

After this, lets talk about whats right and whats wrong about Capcom in general.

[Lord_Sloth]

I want my Attache Case, my Storage Box (Yes, I want both of them), my RE4 playstyle, my zombies AND my Gannado, and I want an arcade mode level select for co-op. No story relevance here, just co-op gameplay.

[jujubee88]

David Jaffe kind of nailed it when he was talking about the mechanics of driving in TM and how a Gran Turismo or NFS car driving would not work to the TM universe cars driving style.

The same analogy could be made about RE 1, 2 and , 3 (maybe even 4) and how that was all kind of thrown away in 5. The way the characters are paced in RE% was far to fast and needs to find a place where the Third person speed is more like that of RE 1, 2 and 3.

In terms of environments, the color pallet should be a lot more blue and grays with tinges of blood red and a smidgen of gooey green.

. . . Okay, there are about 500 comments and it was posted just 3 hours ago. Whoa. People care about killing virtual zombies. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! *sheds manly tear*

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You would think they would extend the olive branch through their own Capcom Unity, but of course they have to use facebook, which I don't use.

It's truly a shame that the genre which they more or less grandfathered is more or less ignored by them today. What uses to be a claustrophobic, atmospheric survival horror experience, is now just a fast paced survival action shooter. In the older games, you were lucky to have your gun and an extra clip. Aside from the monsters you knew were around the corner who just didn't make their presence known yet, that lack of ammo is what made every step that much horrifying. You actually felt like you had to survive. In Resident Evil 4 and 5, you have an arsenal in your back pocket at any given time, and the plot was just thrown out the window. I'm not even gonna comment on Operation Raccoon City. My only solace in that game is that it's not Resident Evil 6.

I sincerely hope that Capcom can reclaim what defined the survival horror genre by actually making the next game, you know, survival horror. Look at the industry overflowing with zombie games today, yet RESIDENT EVIL of all titles doesn't even have zombies anymore lol. That says enough right there. I feel like the technology they have available to them has been wasted.

[GoldPS3]

How about changing Dante back to his old look 1st Capcom.

[maniacmayhem]

Would love it if they brought back the suspense of the past RE games.

Nothing was scarier than opening a door, watching the door open load screen and automatically raising your gun because you were afraid something might jump on you as soon as you walked in.

More of that is needed.

[Redempteur]

Zombies !!

If it's not zombies but at least worthwhile opponents .
Good pacing with twists : for more exemples RE4 or RE Code veronica.
-HD
-Weapons , giving us the choice on how to play the game is a good thing .
-Unless it's easy mode, don't give the player lots of anmo .

-Unique bosses it's not about the damage they do but how you have to defeat it .. ( be creative )

[MasterCornholio]

Ok How about releasing a true resident evil game on a handheld instead of a crappy minigame zombie fest that is Resident Evil Mercenaries. Also a Resident evil game on the Vita would be great as well but please no crappy mercenary type game.

[bigboss911]

Take away Ai partners and your golden. The only bad thing about 5 was the ai and Wesker's death. If your going to continue the series expand the enemies abit. A plot with Leon, Clair and the remaining Stars team to take on lost Umbrella and Tricell labs with a mixture of T., G., Plagues, and uroboros infected. With co-op only with multiplayer and mercs mode. Also quit complaining about the horror and survival aspect gone. Its not gone its just that you grew up. If your still jumping at the dogs coming through windows, then you need some help. Its not scary anymore. Also you realize that you can make it as survival as you want? Go do a knife and pistol only with no upgrades, body armor, case upgrades, health upgrades and F.aid sprays. Then come back and say its too easy. And read the freaking files during re 1,2,and 3. Zombies is not what the game is about. It just the product of people playing God.

[willie32]

How about the ability to aim and move at the same time?

[trenso1]

less action scenes and more horror. like how dead space put horror into their game. i want to be scared

[ForROME]

EAsy, go back to part one, a mansion, slow classical music pace, mystery, freaky. get away from the action styled way they have used as of late, bring back the terror

[TVippy]

You know what's sad about this story? It's interesting why Capcom is arranging such survey. It means they don't know shit about their fans' desires.
I personally want some good Zero-styled games with all the classic attributes.

[BrianC6234]

Capcom needs to go back to the old RE games. How about making them over with great graphics and better controls? Since RE4 the games just arent really Resident Evil anymore.

[kookie]

This
http://speeddemosarchive.co...

[Psycho_Mantis]

Whats wrong? Well ill tell you whats wrong and what went wrong Capcom! You fucked it up with RE5! Sure RE4 was really good but you made RE5 like the same damn thing without moving forward! If you wanna do a reboot nows the time. Who cares what the "casule" people of this gen want. Bring back old school controlls, bring back what made RE awesome, and most of all bring back the zombies!!! >: /

[meganick]

Take the series back to its roots and put the emphasis on horror and scares. That's what was so special about the first few games in the series.

[Seventh_Blood_Reborn]

Capcom don' t need to tell me, I already noticed they are lazy.

[SinnedNogara]

MvC3 proves that 110%, comparing it to a game that came out a month later, Mortal Kombat, which had 1000 times the content.

[LightSamus]

Classic Resident Evil atmosphere, modern Resi 4 controls with a few of the adjustments from Mercs 3D like moving whilst shooting and familiar characters like Leon and Claire.

So just remake Resi 2 in other words.

[Greyfoxdbz]

Dead Space 2 is pretty awesome, I'm not saying scary but I really prefer it to RE5. I waited for RE5 for 6 years and I was incredibly disappointed.

[meganick]

Yeah, the Dead Space series is delivering what the Resident Evil series isn't anymore, which is a horror experience.

[Parasyte]

Personally, my thoughts are thus:

1)The franchise isn't scary anymore.
2)The graphics are sub-par at best.
3)The controls are terrible. You can't even move and shoot at the same time!

[Christopher]

I've always disagreed with #3. I think it's just a different style of gameplay. Changing that, just makes it tactically like all the other TPS out there. I'd rather have something at least a bit different than feeling like I'm playing another run and gun TPS.

It's like the less-sticky platforming of LBP. It's the same concept of platforming we've seen in other games, but it's imprecise to create its own level of difficulty.

[Parasyte]

Thank you for actually telling me why you disagree with me as opposed to just clicking the disagree button and moving on.

I can understand where you're coming from. I guess I just don't like that style of play. I've always felt it would make the game feel more "intense" if you could move and shoot with the zombies moving faster.

Just my opinion though.

[BeOneWithTheGun]

I thought the graphics were pretty decent in the last one. However, the original RE was more atmosphere and that is what I think has been lacking in the last couple installments.

Take a game like Demon's Souls; Not the best graphics but man what an art design they laid out for us and the atmosphere was just wonderful.

As for the control scheme, I have to agree and say I hate it but at the same time not being able to move always makes my heart beat faster when getting into a fight. Then, having to reload knowing they are closing in does ad tension. So, it's hard to say whether I want it removed. The control freak in me does but that little bit that loves being scared and under pressure doesn't lol.

[Parasyte]

I Agree with you about the graphics. That's why I think that the first 3 REs are the best, especially the GameCube remake of the first game. My god, that was amazing.

I'd like to see the RE franchise head back towards that darker more atmospheric style of horror with ACTUAL ZOMBIES!!!

[CobraKai]

Slow moving, brain eating, ZOMBIES!! No more Las Plagas bs.... or maybe have both.

[coolman229]

I personally have only played RE4 (and loved it), but I think the problem with Resident Evil is the story. After I played RE4, I got into the story. RE5 really screwed up the story (Killing Wesker? Really? He probably has some clones running around). I do like the more action-oriented approach, but it has to have the tense atmosphere of RE4. Now, before all you guys start flaming me about how I don't know anything, and I never played the old games before RE4 RUINED THE FRANCHISE FOREVER, please hear me out. I really don't like "scary games." I don't play games to get scared. I like how RE4 made me freak out, running low on ammo fighting an Iron Maiden, but I wouldn't have played it if it didn't have great controls (I played Wii Edition, the definitive version). I'd rather pee myself than crap my pants. Now, my opinion might differ than yours, and I'd be glad to debate, but I don't want to have people saying crap like "You're just some Nintendo fanboy! STFU!" if you'd be so kind.

d(^.^)b Peace

[DarnTruth]

That's easy. How about telling them "it's not scary"

[bwazy]

Because theres a MILLION different aspects that create that sense of you pissing your pants.

[DarnTruth]

Suspenseful and thrilling? Yes. Scary? Not really..

[Nintenuendo]

Well it's just not really Resident Evil anymore, at least not in the conventional sense... which in actuality is fine, I admire innovation, it's just that Capcom went in the wrong direction with RE5.

Bring back the horror, first of all. It doesn't HAVE to be the tank-controlled, corridor-ridden, find-the-wolf-medallion puzzle gameplay of the originals exactly, but they definitely need to look back at what made THOSE games so great, and build off of it.

Slow the game down, tone the weapons down a bit, bring back the zombies, and make people piss themselves again. You have everybody on your side, Capcom. We WANT Resident Evil to be great again, you just have to listen to us.

[CrawFail]

Dear Capcom,

Stop messing about with stupid fantasy stuff and bring back actual zombies. No southern American towns, no 'Plagus', no weird dude selling you guns from out of his coat.

Resident Evil 1 and 2 were absolutely terrifying games. Since Silent Hill came along and blew the survival horror genre out of the water (but unfortunately..they're fallen by the way side too), Resident Evil has suffered. Not saying they're bad games...but there are many parts in more recent titles that really take the fear away.
Take a look at Dead Space. That game takes everything that was good about Resident Evil and evolves it into a truly pant wetting experience while still retaining 'action' elements and a decent enough plot. You're focusing FAAAAAR too much on the story and 'action' sides of things and have totally taken from the core of the reason us old guys bought into the franchise in the first place.

OH, AND NO MORE QUICK TIME EVENTS!!!... and make it so people can wipe their bloody saves on 3DS games, you idiots!

Yours,

Gamer and Fan

[SinnedNogara]

Just keep the plot similar to Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3. Do a reboot of the series, (SPOILER ALERT)RE5 killed Wesker anyway. Expand on the zombies from there, don't turn Jill into a Power Ranger, no forced 2 player co-op from RE5 and make the scenarios more realistic.

[Zanarkand]

Dear Capcom, you can start making wrongs into rights by releasing us RE 3.5, keeping the franchise classic, going back to its roots and keep your obsession with $$$ at bay for once. The day that the franchise will be revived is when us fans will truly piss ourselves playing RE at midnight.

[CrescentFang]

Make it survival horror once more, key word is "survival"

[Skynetone]

Im getting tired of running from those zombies, i want to start every level in a tank are maybe a ac-130

[Tuxedo_Mask]

Make Resident Evil 5 just "a dream", bring back Chris minus the steroids, Jill minus the bleach, and zombies minus the beating hearts.

[ceballos77mx]

Co op big area and massive zombie hordes (classic moaning and shuffling zombies)

[Agent_hitman]

What's wrong with RE franchise??... The story has been ruined, from horror to action shooter..

[deno]

Stars!!

[Rustyrockers]

Bring back the original camera angles, bring back the horror, release games only on home consoles (PS3 and 360, not WII because it is not as good as PS3 and 360), bring back the zombies, get rid of all of the action in the games, make it so I am too scared to go around the corner and most of all BRING BACK WESKER!!!!, but if you are do not show him in any of the trailers like you did in Resident Evil 5, let it be a surprise for us gamers rather than showing most of the games plot in the trailers. And remake Resident Evil 2 in HD for the PS3 and 360 with achievements and trophies, and also release a HD box set of the Resident Evil one remake and Resident Evil Zero for the PS3 and 360 and let them have 50 achievements and trophies rather than the crappy list of 12 for the Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica remakes.

[Tzuno]

Ok bring back zombies and for god sake let me shoot while i walk.

[elbeasto86]

How about instead of people posting these "Dear Capcom" comments here and go to the damn Facebook page and post your comments here. I don't know why people are bitching on this page (which Capcom will probably never read) when you can just comment to them directly.
