Capcom: Western-Developed Resident Evil Game "Absolutely" Possible

[[STARS]TyranT]

SIlent Hill 4 or Origins not action heavy?! Hmm. But anyway -

I'm honestly not sure what to think, i'm honestly not sure about the series post 5/DSC anyway. Time is really going to have to tell on this one.

Dead Space was developed in America (EA if I'm correct), right? RE still has a chance on being scary. I just hope they don't butcher the story or turn it TOO action oriented (too late?).

I think a western-develped RE game might be a good thing since the game is more centered around America and parts of Europe. With the direction the series is going it looks like RE 6 with be Call of Duty with zombies.

O LOL OOPS.

There's no where near enough gloss and over exposure on that picture. I think his boot laces could use 10 more normal maps. And you call those biceps? Geez? He looks like a woman!!

Unlike Silent Hill, RE itself has been gradually sinking towards the action heavy scenario's even by it's Japanese development roots, so the next logical step for them would be to go full on out, and having a western studio developing an action game isn't a bad idea .

Resident Evil is so heavily marketed towards Americans in the first place... I wonder if it would make much of a difference? So long as it isn't the people who got their claws into Silent Hill or any of those similar terrible companies.

I'm both happy and sad to hear this.

Happy because there is now the slight chance that when i become a games designer i can make my own RE games! (OMG FUCK YEAH!!). And ill definitely bring it back to the classic style complete with the most awesome camera angles ever.

Sad because it'll probably go to someone like EA and have a game released every year and have like two different teams making separate games so they can do that.

RE is the next Call of Duty.

I respectfully Disagree too...
Resident Evil will allways be Resident Evil!
Any TRUE FAN would agree with me.

Or, and I'm aware this may be a disturbing thought, a true fan should think about the series, it's direction, and see if they like it rather than blindly assuming, 'It's RE so it must be good'. Because when they make Barry's Sandwhich Making Simulator with bonus Pretty Princess Barry game you're gonna be all alone in the night, yelling how it's and RE and therefore awesome.

I don't see anything exceptionally wrong with this. So many different teams have had a crack at it now an American one won't hurt, and it's like it's an especially Japanese flavoured game, what with them all having American characters. Maybe an American developer can remember that people need to take a whiz on occasion and include some toilets.

Loling at the comparison jokes and especially the TRUE FAN OMG!!!ness.

While I am meh at the thought, like anything, if you get the right minds for it, you never know with this sort of thing.

If Resident Evil will always be Resident Evil, then surely it wouldn't matter if it was developed in Japan or in the west. Resident Evil will always be Resident Evil right? Regardless of where it was developed.

I think that a western developer could make a game at least as good, if not better in some regards. Some things in the series really stick out, because it's made in Japan and set in Amerca. The dialogue in parts, and some of the environments too (the layout of Raccoon city anyone?)

If a western developer can make a game better than RE5, then I definately think they should be given the opportunity.

yes i agree with this. i was about to say the same thing before i read this post.
