Capcom Has Not Yet Decided Resident Evil 6 Producer

[Mr.Pyramid]

I think Resident Evil 6 should include a fully functional in-game recipe collection. Every time you finish a chapter you should unlock a new recipe! My Mum and her friends would really dig that! Maybe you could store them in the Item Box....

The sad thing is, though, that looking at gameplay videos that were released during TGS, all those things you've mentioned just aren't there. Physics and hit detection looks the same (or at least very similar) as in the first game; animation looks very so-so (maybe even worse than in DR1), and zombies are... well, stupid and don't act very harmfully. :/

[Mr. Rod]

Dead Rising 2 looks like a bastardization of the first game by the look of recent trailers.

All I ask is bring back the horror and creepy atmosphere that made REmake so great.

Did they release only teaser trailers? Or actual gameplay videos?

That is a key factor, because usually the teasers showing game characteristics are staged to make it look cool, but for the ones I saw, it's not actual gameplay, is just showing the ideas, so it could make sense that zombies are... "stupified".

If RE6 starts over with a new cast and story, and gets back to what Resident Evil is all about, I'll consider playing it. But until then, I'm more interested in the RE side games that will be coming out (DSC, RE Portable).

By the way, a Wii sports game with all of the Resident Evil characters might actually be fun (remember Mega Man Soccer?)

They've released that multiplayer trailer and few very short gameplay videos. However, there was also a demo available on TGS - you have 10 minutes, a casino full of zombies and various weapons and must kill specific number of zombies within the time. You can find videos from the demo on gametrailers and 1up.
You can also find gameplays from multiplayer modes there.

I tried to replay Dead Rising this afternoon, but the horrendous AI put me off. I mean, if you're trying to save all the survivors like I was, you're in for a tough time. I'd have preferred the survivors to run away from the zombies, not into them.

Then I gotta agree with you that zombies are dumbed down... But still looks fun. I guess there's a lot to polish, still it's an early demo so it definetly will get better.

It should also be noted that trade show demos are usually on the easiest difficulty setting. Or, at the very least, one of the easier difficulty settings.

That's generally true... but IMO it's all relative.

Mark Bozon from IGN (self described expert of on-rail shooters) had such a hard time with the E3 demo of Darkside Chronicles while other editors had zero problems with the very same demo.

Same thing happens with finished games. Some ppl find it impossible to beat RE5 on pro without a human partner while others find it easier beating it themselves using the AI.

[Paracelsus]

You know.. I would love that, actually.. That and Resident Evil Kart.
Does anyone remember that article where Takeuchi was asked about the Wii Fit board?
He said he would love to make a zombie fitness game. I'm still waiting for it. XD..

Resident Evil Cart would be kick ass.

A western developer might be a good thing for the RE series. Obliviously if they listen to the fans, not everyone will be happy and everyone will probably have something to bitch about. Let a new team do the next game and my only hope is that they research the series first so they can decide if they want stick to it and continue the storyline.

[Mr. Rod]

Probably a good team would be good. Either way, people are gonna bitch. They love doing it. First they wanted something new in the games, we got RE4... they bitched... now we're getting a trowback to classic games in RE5:AE and people still bitch because they're "recycling teh Spencer Mansion!!!!1".

It's not bitching. "OMGZ They didn't put Jill in her STARS outfit!!! WTF They changed Jill's hair color..." (stuff that is really pointless). That's bitching.

Fact is, Resident Evil used to get more interesting ideas than what we're getting now. Quoting Barry, "just take a look at this":

That's the non-alternative standard RE5 Spencer Estate. Looks lie a scary CASTLE isn't it? Well now we got another mansion. Whoppie dooo. That's why I complain. Having Spencer Mansion (in soul) again is not original. STILL I'LL SUPPORT IT, BUY IT AND PLAY IT. But hell yes I can disagree with what they are doing.

"I think, while Resident Evil 4 is a great game, its appeal was limited somewhat to maniac players," Takeuchi said. "With RE5, I wanted to bring the series to a larger audience. I think its important to do the same for the next RE."

Maniac players?! I think something may have been lost in translation.

I kinda feel like he's saying that it was a mistake to keep the RE4 style controls. I fear that they have listened to all the bitching that was going on in the wider gaming community, about not being able to move and shoot. A 'larger audience' probably means making the game control exactly like COD or Gears of War.
RE is a massive, successful franchise but as others have said, they always want more. It would probably be a good thing if the next game is a financial failure. I don't believe that would cause the death of the series. Instead, they would go crawling back to their core audience and make a game to please them (rather than trying to make a game that appeals to EVERYBODY). It's better to have a large loyal fan base, big enough to make a successful profit, than to lose both the masses AND the loyal fans...
Like, maybe they could make a Survival Horror game again.
