Resident Evil is the same, twice now. Capcom also have RE4s sales as evidence of what they could sell with a real RE game, yet still choose to go the on rails route.
Thing is, on rails games are cheap to make in comparison to other games. Looks at the sales of RE4 compared to Umbrella Chronicles, not a huge difference in sales yet the dev costs for both games (if built froms cratch) would be vastly different. |
Truthfully, they said they did it to maximise graphical quality. But meanwhile RE OR2 looks phenomenal compared with it and its probably going to play with a faster pace than the original. HOTD should have sparked some kind of intention to not fill the screen with a recticle and keep constant action happening.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
