Ok here what the problems are:
Something is wrong with the Japanese games market and the creators of those series all left their respective companies and went off to do nothing of note besides the platinum guys and the mistwalked guys.
The guys that stayed behind went by the book and tried to do what westerners were doing. Huge mistake. Faith was lost in the series, and they become fewer and fewer until they completely die.
Silent hill has been dragging unsightly game after game since SH3.
FF has been dragging unsightly since FFXII.
Resident Evil actually wasnt so bad cause mikami did direct the change to 3D. I dont feel like theres a problem with this series besides them thinking that they must abhor the 3rd person controls established as good. I hate the controls on 6. I guess the formula was changed again to please mainstream 3rd person shooter fans. The game has to stay like RE;Revelations 4 and 5 were. More revelations as it let you move while shooting, but i have no problem with beeing grounded and having the incoming danger effect.
Devil may cry was perfectly fine. Problem is the creators left capcom and they lost faith in it. The reboot was ill-timed and not called for. They should have carried on with the series cause it wasnt in decline. DmC ended up having the opposite effect and angering fans.
To your list i will add Dino Crisis. 2 games basically. Both really good. Discontinued for no reason even though theres a niche for dinossaur games to be filled in the market. I dont understand.
How to save these series? Stick to the basis that made them popular. Do not try to westernise. Dont be afraid of 2D gameplay on a 3D world.
