It was a joke. You and people like you need to chill with the hate. Its arrogant and immature. And it backs up the stereotype of gamers being fickle to the points of rabies induced rage.Sheo_Dagana said:

Dead Space fulfills most of the requirements on that list, excluding the aesthetics and size. I've always described it as "Resident Evil 4 in space." Yes, it's a bit more cramped, but it's a lot closer to that style of game than RE5 or RE6.chadachada123 said:
I understand if you disagree, but that was my interpretation of that contradictory description. You can't give a game the same atmosphere as the RE remake but make it bigger than RE4, because the feel of the REmake is tense because of the small, trapped-in location of the Mansion, especially if you want to make the maps complex. The bigger something is, the less complex it is likely to be, based on most of the games I've played.
But of course, everyone has a different idea of what makes for great horror. The reason I found the atmosphere to be tense in the REmake may not be the same for you.
Resident Evil saved in only four easy steps!
1. Make the franchise dig a deep hole. [Step completed.]
2. Make it stand in the hole. [Step completed.]
3. Shoot the franchise in the forehead with a high caliber pistol.
4. Fill over the hole.
At this point they'd be better off marketing a new intellectual property as the spiritual successor, than dragging out this purifying mess any further before the inevitable end.

Im going to make a point thats been made by me already, but apparently, some people fail to understand this Operation Raccoon city is not Hated on AS HARD because it was given a side name/people knew it was a new direction/attempt at something different in the franchise. They knew JUST BY THE TITLE. However, RE6 is.....RE6. People expected what they loved about the main franchise and got exactly what they didn't want because they expected the main game series/main canon to stay on track as survival horror or go back to it. However that didn't happen. So please understand this. I hate seeing it Re-explained over and over and over and over...
It was clearly a joke. No need to get so up in arms about it.
Personally, I enjoyed the Gears Of War series. I didn't enjoy GOW3 quite as much as the others, but regardless it was still a very well polished game. I honestly don't get all the hate.
Just like I don't get all the "lolololololololololol!!! U mad bro?!" comments from some users. It just makes you look like you're more interested in poking fun at RE fans than in the discussion itself.

That would be...interesting. Funny too. Have some Gears of War Easter Eggs hidden in the next Resident Evil game. I wonder how he'd fix it: The Gears games certainly weren't known for being scary, and that's what a lot of people want from Resident Evil now. If they choose to go down the action path, Cliff is probably the man to go to then.
You en't seen nothin' yet. Just see what happens every time anyone even mentions the word "Bioware". It's like the malignant tumour that was Zeel has returned in spirit form to haunt us once more.erttheking said:
chill poeple,he was probably just joking and worked on a lot more than gow(where his original idea did not include the stupid beefcakes, he just proceeded to sell the hell out of it).
unless you are one of the people who loved unreal games on the pc and kept epic in business only to be told we don't matter.
oh and i totally want him as a producer on a self-parody resi 7

This just in: gamers can't take a joke... scientists theorize it may be the inevitable consequence of being snarky 24/7... story at 11.
Aside from noting this is blown out of proportion for a Twitter joke, there isn't much to say here... ugh... I like Unreal 3.

Along with 'we're not in Kansas anymore' that might be one of the biggest understatements ever.erttheking said:
Funny, so Resident Evil has always been a bastion of bad writing and acting
And Gears of War even more so.
So if they join forces they could make the worst written game ever!
At least Capcom's approach to bad writing is make everything ridiculously awful so the finished product is laughable, while Epic Game's methodology is closer to "Let's make everyone unlikeable personality deficient meat heads and not have a single interesting thing happen ever."
I prefer Capcom thanks.

I do disagree, but you gave a reasonable explanation for your feelings that make a fair amount of sense.Sheo_Dagana said:
You're right that my definition of what makes for a good horror experience is different than yours, because while I love RE4, I just don't love anything about Dead Space and find them to be wholly different experiences. After reading your post, though, I can now see how others would find the two experiences alike.
The biggest thing, for me, that creates tension is ammo scarcity and a feeling of helplessness, which simply isn't an issue in Dead Space where you're expected to kill every monster you find. Contrast this with pre-RE4 Resident Evil games where you are expected to have at least several enemies that you must evade rather than fight. In that respect, you're right that RE4 is similar to Dead Space.
However, most fans of RE4 that I've met (and especially the ones that hate RE5/6) would love to see a game with an RE4-style setting but with an emphasis on zombies and a low availability of weapons/ammo. A game where running away is just as viable of an option as standing your ground.
Lol, not even close. I don't see how anyone can compare any of the layout, aesthetics or gameplay of the first RE games to Deadspace. Deadspace is just as different from the core RE series as Mario is.Sheo_Dagana said:
Except the remake and 4 are the two most highly praised RE games by the majority of fans and critics alike. I am pretty sure they both offer what the fans want. A smart business man would see the connection there and that data alone should give them enough of a reason to make more games like that. It's unrealistic to think you can take a piece of CoD's pie.
Ninja'd! I was going to say that if you gave Chris Red a Lancer you'd already be halfway there. The difference is that there is actually a coherent story behind Marcus.chadachada123 said:Yes, because we need MORE player characters with biceps the size of watermelons and MORE cover-based shooting with no horror to speak of. Yep.
As if there was even a difference between RE5/most of RE6 and Gears of War to begin with. Just take a look at these steroid-abusing meatheads:
GoW is already the best game at pulling off GoW style cover based shooting. However I don't think it's a magic bullet that other games should try and crowbar in to their repertoire, because if you don't nail it it just comes off as stodgy.
Man, people are freaking out over a joke aren't they? Anyways, if Cliffy B WERE to work on Resident Evil, I honestly don't think it'd be too bad. Resident Evil is already obviously moving into the third-person action game genre, and like the Gears series or not, it's a genre that Cliff knows well. Regardless, you people act like because he made Gears of War that he'll just make RE full of steriod-pumping meatheads. He may bring something new to the table to make the series unique again. Look at Joss Whedon and the Avengers, Joss has had little to no experience directing a movie as big as Avengers, and he pulled it off really well. Sometimes it's good to get someone who doesn't work on that specific type of genre, game, etc. to bring something new to the table. And judging how well RE6 was received, bringing in something new may just be what the series needs.
Sorry guys, it may pain you to admit it, but the last couple RE games have been so bad, and so unfocused (I'm including side-games like Operation Raccoon City), that he could indeed make them better.
He makes games that are well focused, well crafted, and know what they are (you are free to hate /what/ they are!), and RE lost that a long, long time ago.
For instance, the comments about plot, horror, and psychological drama... did you guys even play RE6? It's a hot mess. It doesn't have any of that. They took separate four scenarios with different playstyles, did some setpieces for each, then concocted some handwavey later to try to glue it all together. It's a wildly unfocused action shooter. Even the monsters aren't scary any more.

And how does the plan to do that? By giving Chris Redfield and absurdly overcompensatory chainsaw gun?
Everyone in this thread completely missed the joke/irony, in that Gears of War was at least partially inspired by Resident Evil 4.
