Rumor: Next Resident Evil is a Tactical Shooter

[cgentero]

Sounds interesting I'll admit, but not sure if it will try to be too much like L4D, especially with the ability to play as the BOWs.

I used to love Resident Evil... But it's rotting corpse has now become very unappealing to me. And I have extremely morbid tastes, n'all!

 

[The Floating Nose]

Is this some kind of fucking joke ??? That's a terrible idea ! I've read that they are doing some HD remakes...it can be interesting but they better not change the gameplay of the good old Resident Evil (i am boycotting this fucking series if they change resident evil 2 & 3 to be like the 4th and 5th). It's like if the people at CAPCOM are out of their fucking minds WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM ???

 

[Doclector]

Although the thought of another non-scary resi makes me feel cynical, I can't deny it sounds fun. Also, I always love returning to the dead infested streets of raccoon.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Sounds like fun. I don't get why everyone's bitching, though. Sure, I liked the older Resident Evil games, but c'mon guys, if the games had followed the same formula for each game you all would be complaining about a "lack of innovation" or some crap.

Whatever happened to HUNK? Perhaps we'll see in this game.

I forgot about him! Yeah, seeing HUNK return would make me happy. He's quite the hunk.

*Is hit by a tomato*

OT: I like the news. I'm a fairly big fan of tactical shooters, and an RE one seems like my kind of game. Plus, I want to see this "bio-organic weapon monster" thing turns out.

Honestly after reading the post my interest died when it said "you will gain Exp..." sorry but when did modern fps games really need to be lead by the nose of this. In RPG's I can understand, hell I cherish the times I played Disgaea (one) and developed muscle memory from that certain level, but surely not every game needs this. I don't mean to troll but I can't be the only one that thinks this? Can I? Love to hear anyone elses opinions on this

i can see how it works in FPS online games, because you unlock weapons as you go along etc. but for a single player FPS, it shouldn't and doesn't happen, and a game like this i agree with you, gaining xp is kinda stupid here.

i see gaining xp as 2 things, an unlock of certain weapons, or an upgrade of your choice of skills. so for certain weapons, online it is done via levels, wheras single player it can be achieved simply by just finding the weapons somewhere in the level, so xp is kinda useless in that sense for this game

and to upgrade skills, well i'm just not sure it will feel ANYTHING like resident evil, aside from the ffact it has the big brand logo stuck on it. i mean, there's only 1 approach to zombies, kill them. therefore no matter how you shape it, you will be leveling up some way to kill it. however fallout had levling up difffernt skills, because you could use each skill in what method you like (science skill to hack turrets to turn on your enemy, or weapon skill to face problems head on) so again, i'm struggling to see how xp would fit into this category either =\

i'll keep an eye on this, but overall i'm more excited about the resi 4 re-release ^^

 

[Veldel]

I'm pretty open minded...but it seems like they keep moving RE away from the Survival Horror origins that spawned the original game...

This I agree with.

I havnt enjoyed RE since 3 :/

 

[Ghaleon640]

Wow, that sounds really unique and cool. I'm excited.

 

[BrunDeign]

So are they just leaving the terror behind for this title? Because it doesn't seem like there would be many "survival horror" qualities to the team where you play as the biological monster.

 

[Veldel]

Tactical shooter, huh? So all hope is lost that next Resident Evil will be a survival horror game. Resident Evil made it's name as a survival horror game. That's why people liked it. I guess it's all about the money today. More people play shooters so let's make it a shooter. Well fuck you very much Capcom.

Lets storm Capcom and force em to go back to how RE was because what you said I agree with

 

[godfist88]

Whatever happened to HUNK? Perhaps we'll see in this game.

I'm not too confident of it's quality, the Slant Six SOCOM games werent' near as good as Zipper's.

i think Hunk's gonna be in Resident Evil: Mercenaries on the 3DS.

 

[Polock]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Please auto-port to PC

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I'm hoping it's more of a Rainbow Six affair, so that tactics are actually necessary because your character will be flesh and killable. With the various biological monsters within the series; it'd be nice if some of them were actually a threat. Make ammo and first aid completely unavailable unless you come across dead soldier, cops, survivors etc.

It could be at least a Survival game with a few minor traits added in. Colour me hopeful.

 

[Paularius]

I wonder if all three sides will be as equal as alian vs predators three.

 

[Reaper69lol]

Wow, that sounds freaking awesome. Definately want.

 

[Super Duck]

I'm just gonna come out and say this. Were the original RE's really all that "scary"? I remember playing them when I was ten, and I wasn't scared by them. Sure, they had their moments, some really fantastic jump scares and such, but they never struck fear into my heart. RE4 corrected the biggest problem the series had and that was the gameplay. If they WERE to make new versions of the pre-RE4 games with the over-the-shoulder viewpoint that 4 introduced, I'd be thrilled. That is the ONLY thing that I don't enjoy about the older ones.

This could be interesting. I'll have to see more before I decide.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

I am enthused. I've wanted more games set in Raccoon city after that one with all the civilians was just terrible. Playing as the bad dudes, and possibly a monster, oh yeah.

They're coming out with like thirty games at once and you honestly believe they aren't going to market one to the "herp durr the old way was better!" audience? Believing that you'll never see another survival horror RE game is naive.

But, they will probably get rid of the horrible camera and controls, so if that's what you actually liked about the game, then sorry.

It's like Capcom forgot about Outbreak when a feasible option for online multiplayer came out, and decided to make a co-op zombie TPS instead.

Also, where the fuck has Carlos been since RE 3, anyways? Not to mention Billy, who also seemed to disappear after 0. And Claire, Rebecca, and Barry. Not including Mercenaries. And give Tofu some love too, Capcom, he was better than Chris as a roid monkey. And Darkside Chronicles doesn't count, that took spanned most of the games anyways.
