Cliffy B Offers to Help Capcom Fix Resident Evil

Pretty much sying what other folks are saying. Seeing that the craphole that was Resident Evil 6 was due to influnces of "Western" games, a few of which were his, he can stay the hell away from it.
The multi layered irony is just to sweet in this.
Resident Evil getting fixed by the guy who's work the franchise followed when it fell down the stairs and snapped it's neck... that is a good one Cliffy.

Then it shouldn't also be considered bad just because it set an influential standard (which it really didn't, if you think about it).Sylveria said:
Also, whether Capcom would bring him on for that reason or not (and I doubt it would be, RE6 was panned for that very reason), the main issue people have been bringing up is the fact that Cliff made the Gears series, thus in their minds he is not qualified to offer anything else to a series like Resident Evil.
To be honest, I almost believe that Cliff was being facetious with that tweet considering the third-person-shooter genre that he capitalized on was initially made popular by RE4.
Oh ho, good one Cliffy, you disgusting turd. We're talking about the man who had the balls to suggest multiplayer for Fatal Frame here. A man who is such a titanic black hole of talent and taste that the mere off-hand suggestion that he should be involved in a franchise from my childhood sends shivers down the back of my neck, down my spine and up my sack.
Even as broken and revoltingly fucked up as Resident Evil has gotten (and it is fucked up, don't anyone try and convince me otherwise), Cliffy B (still a shite name) could always make it so much worse. This puddle of piss really needs to fuck off someplace inhospitable and stay there.
Well, that's that rant over. I'm gonna go lock myself in the red room for a while.
(come to think of it, I didn't actually make a point here did I?)

piss off, Cliff. One problem: I actually found RE6 to be FUN, something I could NEVER find in GoW which is why I didn't bother with 2 and 3. It was a boring, mediocre, macho masturbation fest that felt like it was written by an insecure teenager and didn't at least have fun gameplay to alleviate that. I at least had fun with RE6 (some parts of Chris' campaign notwithstanding). So, no, do not approach the series because you would just damage it.
Are you trying to imply that Resident Evil is known for those things? Because I might agree with you if we were talking about the first two, maybe four games (up to Code Veronica perhaps), although I wouldn't say any of them had deep characters or much subtlety. But either way they left that behind so long ago that there's really nothing left of any of that since RE4.Nihlus2 said:
But on the plus side, at least if Cliff Bleszinksi got his hands on the series it probably wouldn't control like complete ass. Even if all it did was play exactly like Gears of War, it would be an improvement over what it is now: a game trying to be GOW but without any of what makes it even somewhat fun.
Everyone coming here to display hate about Cliffy B is making me laugh real hard. They forget that Resident Evil has sucked for a longer time in much worse manners than Gears of War.
Guys it was a joke relax. Cliffy B isn't going to touch your beloved mediocre Resident Evil games.

Actually, Cliff in charge of a Resi game would probably be awesome if they went down the self-satire road, like the game itself's face-palming when a scientist who should know better decided "Yeah sure, I'll inject myself with hideous bastard mutator-virus, because nothing at all will go wrong"

Am I the only one who finds it ironic?
Cliffy makers action games, exactly the type Resi is trying to be.
In a sense, Cliffy already fixed RE into the point it is in now.

It's obviously but joke. But really, if he did get a shot to help with the next Resident Evil it could go either way. There are probably plenty of guys that can work on more than one genre. He can't make it worse than what it is at the very least.
So Cliffy B. offered to help Capcom with the Resident Evil franchise. I don't see what the big deal is.
I don't think that what the Resident Evil series needs is more Steroids, and people wearing refrigerators for armor.
What it needs is a total reboot that completely obliterates with fire the entire ridiculous lore they've built up, restarting with actual, survival horror.
No more ridiculous B.S, just straight up Slender/Amnesia style Survival Horror. Actual effective Survival Horror that doesn't leave everyone angry and depressed like the last couple Resident Evil Games.

How CliffyB would fix Resi6
-Map as many actions as possible to the A button
-Include more chest high walls
-Cancel the PC port
That's it, 10/10 GOTY material.
