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.
