Would like some kind of Fallout style item degradation in the new game, if even your trusty knife is slowly becoming less and less effective that's going to create a whole new atmosphere.

the is just plain laying down and being lazy designers and you Mr. funk are supporting their laziness. "fun to play and a competent shooter, or should it be scary." this is a BS copout statement in the worst way. saying that there is no way, in an industry where the entire reality of a universe can be changed and modified inside a single game, that a game cannot be scary and fun, or even have competent controls. Way to lower the hearts of every single fan of the survival horror genre because apparently all their games are boring and poorly built. I love survival horror, including the resident evil series until lately. To say that there is no room for this genre to grow without betraying the very thing that made it FUN, the horror, is wrong.

DmC is a prequel not a reboot. Though, Capcom suceeded in getting your reaction to the new Dante right.

"There'll be a 6 at the end of the next installment."

I'm afraid I'm not very confident in Capcom's ability to innovate. The only reason why Resident Evil 4 was as good as it was was because of Shinji Mikami.
The man who made Leon Kennedy a badass and created VANQUISH.....

*Kisses poster of Mikami* One day you'll rule all of Capcom....<3


...O_O...YOU SAW NOTHING!!!

Doesn't excuse them dumping that crap on us. Jesus they piss us off with how Wesker dies and now they've turned Dante into something to try and relate with the "audience".

Newsflash. Dante's main persona was to be a snarky jackass who was only emotional when necessary....That being only twice. (When his Brother died and when he thought Trish died)

Sorry I just had to bring that subject to LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

So is it going to be "RE4 different" (i.e. something fresh in a stagnant series that actually turned out decent) or "RE5 different" (i.e. something that kicked the fans straight in the groin and smiled while doing it)?

I won't try to claim I'm not biased here. I couldn't stop playing RE4; I stopped playing RE5 about 20 minutes in. If I hadn't gotten the game for under $10 I'd have been seriously pissed.
If you weren't playing it on Veteran and playing with someone right besides you discard your useless opinion, go back and get a real one.

Yes, I'm certain Capcom's statement that they were trying to piss off fans wasn't them trying desperately to keep from looking like idiots.

Also, cut me some slack on the "reboot/prequel" business. Even Capcom has yet to determine the way to refer to it.

Nope, quite conclusively a prequel. Capcom stated this was to be Dante's origin story. So thats him getting out into fighting demons in the first place, before he went to set up shop in 3.

Youre missing the point. Capcom stated this was to be an origin story, Dante is obviously a teenager in this game and any number of things can change that look by the end of it.

Besides if you really care about the DMC series you should know its more about the gameplay, less about the story.

And it's usually before or after they say that that they also call it a "reboot of the series" or somesuch. I'm not saying that it isn't supposed to be canon, but rather that it is indeed a reboot of the series, whether the fans want a reboot or not.

And this is the main reason why I'm not particularly optimistic about this project. Ninja Theory and Unreal Engine 3 spells shitty game. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but I don't foresee any good coming of this. DINO still pisses me off almost as much as the prospect of Devil May Cry being Ninja Theory'd and Unreal'd, but the gameplay is my main concern.

Really with every piece of DMC media retconning something from previous media its impossible to see how a reboot will end up being much different.

Now thats a more valid argument than the younger Dante. I just hope NT takes advice from Capcom on this. Either way, if it all goes south, ill just supplant it for Asuras Wrath.

Edit: quoting seems a bit broken there, sorry.

You'd be surprised how reasonable we fanboys can be. On the Capcom Unity forums, gameplay is indeed the main concern of our enraged lot. We'll still ***** about DINO until we're blue in the face, but gameplay comes first.

What I'm afraid of is if the game turns out badly and sells poorly, Capcom will drop the series altogether as opposed to shifting to previously held design philosophies. That's another reason why this project worries me.

As for Asura's Wrath, I'm not quite sure what to think about that. While the art design and premise are interesting, they're also all we've seen so far. Well, that and the quick-time event thingies from that first trailer. I don't find quick-time events very inspiring.

True, but honestly I'd love to see the end of the series instead of an origin story. I know I know about this Tony Redgraves persona he went under when first starting out, but there's just a weird inconsistency about it. That being that Sparda had his sons 2000 years ago. Dante's Maturation is either really weird or he hit puberty later than Justin Bieber.

If theres one thing that MvC3 showed us, its that Capcom will never forget about its franchises. Besides i still dont think they would have let NT develop DmC without a reason. I mean, someone at Capcom must know how badly theyve done so far.

As for Asura's Wrath, I'm not quite sure what to think about that. While the art design and premise are interesting, they're also all we've seen so far. Well, that and the quick-time event thingies from that first trailer. I don't find quick-time events very inspiring.
I dont think it counts as proper QTE's if the game is pulling them throughout the game. Besides, this game has promise for a good story, as its not actually made by Capcom.

Erm, Sparda, in fact, lived most of those 2000 years. Im not certain as to the circumstances of his death, but bieng a demon he must have had better longevity than most humans.

Also i think Dante would have been significantly quicker to get into demon hunting if he was 8 years old when demons killed his mother. If Dante was born 2000 years ago, then each game should be describing Sparda's exploit as being about 10 years ago.

You know it's a bad sign for a franchise when you have to completely revamp its gameplay every-other game. Though arguably, the gameplay was never the problem with Resident Evil. RE4 would have been just as fun had it been done in the style of the first two games.
Because staying fresh is a bad thing.
I think the best games out there are the ones that make adjustments to the current product in order to make it more enjoyable for everyone.
While playing RE4 a thousand times would be fun, it doesn't really do anything besides beat a good healthy horse to death.
Staying fresh has nothing to do with it, and adjustments and revamps are two completely different things. Take the Mario series, for example. They've all been pretty much exactly the same ever since Mario 64, give or take a few minor adjustments like the backpack in Sunshine. Part of the difference is that Mario isn't trying to force some terrible story down our throats that needed to be resolved long ago; which really, was the main point of my post.

The problem with RE5 had nothing to do with the fact that it was the same gameplay style as RE4. The next Resident Evil game will suck or rock, regardless of what they do with the gameplay (unless they do something bad with the gameplay, at which point I'll be reminded of the old saying about fixing something that isn't broke).

I can get scary in all sorts of places, but when I play RE, I want over-the-top action, explosives, chainsaws, secret agents, giant tentacled monsters and huge guys crashing through walls following me everywhere.

Early Resident Evil games were more scary, but still ridiculous. I think Capcom could work a little harder in the atmosphere department and make more legitimately scary enemies, but I beg you Capcom, put FUN first.

New direction? RE: Go karts. Yes!

i would like to see a Resident evil where we play as a normal citazen of raccoon city, just trying to escape, not being able to use handguns well unless they practice, building barricades and decideing weather or not we can trust other survivors that would be fun

EDIT: wait did i just describe the marketing treatment for dead island?
No you just described RE: Outbreak. Oh, please just make a glitch and lag free better version of Outbreak and we'll all be happy.

Resident Evil stopped being scary when the controls only became semi-broken instead of borderline unbearable. Work the shooter angle well Capcom but make my resources scare so it's actually a challenge.
