Is Resident Evil franchise is dead-Have we seen the last good game of RE ?

I heard the same stuff after RE4 came out.

Listen, I'm a huge old school RE buff. I loved the old survival horror titles, and was admittedly bitter with Capcom for moving away from that style. At the same time RE4 was easily my favorite GC game, and the Wii version was even better.

RE5 is RE4 on steroids. Personally it is not my taste, I miss the puzzles (and Wii controls), but is is what it is, a further evolution down the path started by RE4. I have only played the demo of RE5 so I can't comment on story, but I think this brand has picked its audience, and some of us old fans have been excluded. That sucks for us, but the franchise will be just fine. With the failure of SH:Homecoming, I'm hoping we will have a real survival horror series again soon.
