Capcom have IP that will sell forever no matter what platform they release on. No chance in Hell that Resident Evil would be no more if Capcom suddenly died off.

MonHun, Res Evil and Street Fighter will always be popular. Even if Capcom totally screw themselves before we see a RE8 (Or even RE7), someone else will pick up the franchise and probably a big chunk of the dev team. Wouldnt surprise me to see a better product too with Capcom out of the picture.

On a football game related note, FIFA 15 will be the first ever FIFA title where Ryan Giggs isnt a Manchester United player.

I'm a fan of all the PM games but the N64 original is one of my favorite games ever made. I really liked everything about it. I hope you enjoy it more :)

All other PM games had a certain feel to them I guess. A certain charm if you will. I felt that TTYD lacked that. The story, characters, settings all felt more serious to me. A serious tone isn't always bad but I don't really think that's Paper Mario's strong suit. Plus, the whole curtain thing felt off. I haven't played it in years though so maybe my opinion on it is off...

It can be confusing if you've never played anything like it before.  I confess that the first time I played an RE game, I had to use a guide to figure out where I was supposed to go.  I think it's one of those things that becomes more intuitive with time.  But I suspect that RE lost a lot of people simply because back when it first came out, it was so different from anything else.  I guess that was both a blessing and a curse.  While some of us loved it for its differences, others were no doubt alienated by them.

Yeah, perhaps.  Unfortunately, I think the camera is just one of those things that you have to get used to.  Oddly enough, I never had a problem with it.  But I can understand how others might.

In fact, it's funny you should bring this up.  Take a look at my reply to Rain.  I basically said that I don't see why a modern RE game couldn't cater to both our preferences.

And the stealth genre is an interesting point to bring up, too.  That's actually not a bad analogy for this.  I think that's more of the feel of the classic RE games.  If anything the gameplay is closer to stealth than it is to action.

Start a fight?  Nah, that wasn't my intention.  On the contrary, what's interesting about this discussion is that prior to this, I may have been more dismissive about people who preferred the later RE's, shrugging them off as a bunch of COD dudebros who don't understand any game more cerebral than just shooty-shooty-bang-bang!!

But because it was a friendly discussion and people were able to calmly and intelligently express themselves, I've actually gotten a slightly different perspective on things.  I still prefer the classic gameplay myself, but at least now I have a sense of where others are coming from.  I wouldn't have gotten that if it were all, "OMG!  Old RE sucks!  You must be some kind of fag if you don't like new RE!"  And as I'm sure you know, the internet is full of arguments like that.

Anyway, my point is that it was refreshing to see people able to disagree with relative politeness.  That's kind of a rarity online, and one that gave me a bit of an insight into the differences between the old and the new RE.

I liked TTYD more than 64 because it made the battle system more exciting by introducing Stylish Moves and Super-Guarding.. Oh, and the introduction was MILES better because you know the action commands from the get-go.. I also thought TTYD had more content in general..

Huh!  Ok, fair enough.  I admit to a certain amount of ignorance when it comes to the business side of things.  I don't know exactly what happens when a company goes under, but I'm glad to hear that their IP doesn't necessarily die with them.

THQ had an auction of IP when they died off.

If Capcom were to go under Id expect something similar.

Remakes of 2 & 3 would be awesome for sure. Nemesis in particular, as you said, would be really interesting with the power of the modern systems.

As for the reboot? I don't mind the over the shoulder view actually. I just want the gameplay to be like the previous games, with a focus on survival. There are not that many games like that anymore, yet we have a ton of Action games, time to bring survival back. The Evil Within is being worked on by the guy who did the or original games, so I might check that out depending on if it has enough content.

If that were to happen to Capcom, who would you like to pick up the Resident Evil franchise? And who seems more likely to pick up the franchise?

I see konami being able to handle the franchise well. + both Capcom and Konami are mainly japanese companies.
