Capcom Intends To Turn Resident Evil Into Call Of Duty

this is essentially what's been known.

Something useful. That the topic creator omitted.

"He conceded that Resident Evil doesn't need to be a straight action game, and the goal is to have games that retain the series' identity, but can expand "into other markets" as well as horror. So yeah, that's why you can't have any survival horror from Capcom anymore. Shame really, but hardly surprising. At least there are PC developers still brave enough to scare the crap out of us."

After the sales comparison of RE5, and Revelations. It makes fiscal sense. I think, they should just not bring up this call of duty like thing, as it just causes backlash. And if they number it resident evil 6, people aren't going to be like, "Oh, it's more like call of duty, I'll finally play RE now!."

I'd bet my money, that it wouldn't be a huge departure from Resident evil 5/4. Developers always use comparisons/examples to describe their game, and are almost always wrong, in both good in bad ways.

5 definitely sold way better than Revelations, but part of that is userbase and part of that is the fact that, well-made as it is, Revelations is still a wannabe console title on a handheld, necessarily limited in how much it can sell.
