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

[Kronk]

I whole-heartedly disagree.

Who cares? The series has gone tits up already anyway

Uncharted: Chris's Fortune. XD

RE5 isn't too far removed from that as it is already.

I'd like to see what Naughty Dog or even Digital Extremes could do with the license, personally.

Oh HELL no...

Well I can see why some people wont like the idea (eg look what happened with silent hill...)

But its not like the RE series hasnt already strayed from their roots. I wouldnt mind seeing what Capcom USA would do (out of curiosity)

Dom dom dom... =/ I'm not too happy to hear that..

Oh HELL no...

When asked by website Planet Resident Evil about the possibility of a Resident Evil game developed by a Western company, Chris Kramer, Senior Director of Communications and Community at Capcom, said it was "absolutely" possible that a Resident Evil game could come from the West.

Capcom has already allowed a Western company to develop the latest Bionic Commando game as well as Dead Rising 2, and Kramer says there are more games in in store, including, perhaps, a Resident Evil game:

"As we go forward and do more games along the lines of Bionic Commando, I think you're going to see the company open itself up more to developers outside of Japan. So is it possible that some day a Resident Evil game could be done by western developers? Absolutely. We don't have anything in the works now, but the kind of groundwork that has been laid by Resident Evil and Dead Rising 2 are definitely moving us and the company in a direction where those idea wouldn't be so foreign."
