Forums - Gaming - RE Fans May Cry: Team Based RE possibly being developed by Six Slant*SOCOM*

What I can not understand is why CAPCOM and some other Japanese Publishers are farming out some of there most beloved IP's to Western Developers when there are so many Awesome small Independent Japanese Development Studios that could  make really awesome games out of IP's like Biohazard (RE), DMC, and others but are no being given a shot at it because there is a belief with some Japanese Publishers that the Western Dev Teams are better at the moment. 

It is grate that SEGA, TECHMO-KOEI and others are sticking primarily to Japanese Dev Studios.

BTW even though Biohazard (RE)5  was developed still by one of CAPCOM's  own in-house Teams a lot of the Game was done in Hollywood. Biohazard (RE)5 was stll an awesome Game in a lot of ways but you could see it had to much of Western influence because the Action overshadowed any Horror still in the Game Design.

Biohazard (RE)4 despite a grater enforces on Action was still more of a survival Horror Game then Biohazard (RE)5 because it still had a traditional Horror Atmosphere. 

BTW I think a Code Veronica Approach might be the best balance of Action and Horror.

There are some of you that feel that RE are changing its roots (gameplay wise), true.  But as well how many of you gamers are also changing your roots?

If I recall, fans of the RE series want to bring back the style of RE1-3,  surely you must remember how the gameplay was actually like; walk then run, stop, turn, aim, shoot, stop, turn, run etc...the motions of your character didnt flow.  With game styles these days and the control style gamers demand i doubt many would like to play a new RE game that old way.

Maybe turning it into a normal TPS is what it might need.  I'd like to see some new features like a ducking feature to hide from zombies, or even like throw a rock to make noise and distract zombies away from you etc.

Im sure many RPG fans/PS3 owners passed up on 3D Dot Heroes because that old style action RPG just doesnt cut it anymore.

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

It can't be any worse than RE5, anything less is rock bottom.



Honestly, the concept isn't what worries me here.  My issue is that Slant Six are downright shitty developers.

It's like Capcom and Namco signing on Ninja Theory to make their "next big thing".  At least Ninja Theory are somewhat competent.

I really don't get what's going on in the minds of Japanese publishers these days.  Nintendo, SCE, and Sega are the only ones that know what they're doing at the moment.  Konami as well, to a degree.

oh boy cry RE fans CRY 

Slant 6 had damaged one of the biggest Online titles for the Playstation with there absolute failure with Socom confrontation. Zipper did make the highly successful Socom series for the PS2 but they were focused on MAG and S4 to have an early Socom release for the PS3. So Sony got Slant 6 who made two good PsP socoms and what followed was a butched destroyed socom. Sony dumped the company and i cant believe they are still operating despite thousands of Socom faning hating them so much 

good luck RE fans 

oh slant 6 is crap now?

oh dear....

@xxain

Now you can be pessimistic


I wouldn't say bad.... but they no doubt made the worst console Socom. Their PSP Socom's were good though so who knows... Socom:C was Online only so who knows. This could end up an ok game but I don't have my hopes up.

I would argue any shooter on PSP is inherently not good, but I seem to be one of the few who hold such an opinion.

I don't really like Resident Evil besides 1 and 5 (Because it had co-op) and I don't like those that much.[I always liked silent hill and now dead space a lot better] So I don't care that much... handing it off to a bad developer (atleast what you people say) doesn't really make sense though.



isn't RE5 team based already?

Also this seems too weird for a rumor so it might be true, either don't care less, i wan't the old Resident Evil style games (the fixed camera ones)



I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

- Wasteland - The Mission.

After RE4 i doubt they can do anything to make me cry again.

I  Would add TECHMO-KOEI to that list bucause of TEAM NINJA.

SE at least has Tri-Ace and Yasumi Matsun and ATLUS has become the critic/cult following darling both as a publisher and developer with a hot streak in the SMT franchise. Even CAPCOM is more mixed than awful as for every bad idea they have they get two or three good ones like Tatsunoko vs CAPCOM, Marvel vs CAPCOM 3, Okamiden, Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, and the RE Mercenaries 3DS game.
