Cliffy B wants to 'fix' Resident Evil. Capcom says 'bring pizza'

Even he admits it was cocky, but a statement of intent, perhaps?

    what about Resident Evil Outbreak File #3?

    RE5 and 6 weren't bad. In fact, the formula could be kept as it's developed with the controls, the co-op, the over the shoulder, and still return to a more survival horror experience. 1. Ammo. I honestly feel like RE6 could have been terrifying if you didn't have magical ammo potentially falling from every enemy. 2. Inventory. Sorry, but being able to carry 2 glocks, a magnum, a shotgun, an assault rifle, a grenade thrower, and a sniper rifle at once is a bit ridiculous. Limit it and make players choose what they will and won't carry. Those alone will make the games survival horror. I'd also like to tone down away from the bioweapons that transform and have all kinds of super powers, less over the top action sequences (jumping a 2 story building on a motorcycle, surviving explosions, crashes, and a dozen things that should be guaranteed crippling injury if not instant death), and focus on traditional zombies. Zombies traditionally don't run, but when you're faced with a wall of them shambling towards you, lunging when close, and you're low on bullets...it'll get the scare RE fans want. We don't need to go fully back to the old style to "fix" Resident Evil to its roots. It just needs to evolve as it has been while maintaining its identity.

    Capcom needs Shinji Mikami, the creator of RE. But he's doing his own thing with his studio creating a fresh survival/horror experience. So I'm happy with that. Fans of the old RE games should sign the petition to remake RE2. I'm not sure if Capcom is going to throw fans of the classics a bone. They know the big, easy money is with the CoD/Halo/GearsofWar kids.

    I agree i miss the old RE games i have to amit it scared me when i was little i want that again better graphics might let that happen i was waitin for them to make it i would sign that petition

    Resident Evil 6 was a fucking fun, high quality co-op shooter. There is no need for fixing. Resident Evil has just moved on from it's roots and now we have things like Dead Space and Amnesia filling the hole it left behind. Let it go it's own way.

    But real RE fans like me find this and RE5 to be stupid and basically an insult to the series. RE isnt supposed to be about having a bunch of enemies shooting at you and "Bio-Morphing" every 10 seconds. Its about the fear and suspense of going down a hallway and wondering when Nemisis would burst through the wall, or when William Burkin would do a shriek for his daughter and force you to chase after her into a dark room. THATS what made RE great and lately they've forgotten that. They think they can just slap a brand on it and it'll sell. Now RE 4 was goo because they tried something new, but still kept the suspense (Lake Boss, Chain Saw Salvador, and those blind clawsmen) but RE5 was not as good. Everything was based on "Morphing Zombies" and it was overused until it got stale expected in like the 5th level or so. Now RE6- zombies with guns? Come on. Its too focused on team based action and not enough on survival horror. Theres basically no horror in there, and even less survival. What needs to happen is a reboot, so they can wipe the slate clean of this stupid ass storyline theyve forced themselves into, and I dont really think Cliffy B would fill the Survival Horror void that needs to be there.

  • CrashmanX - October 30, 2012 10:01 a.m.

    Rate RE6 3.5/5 Rate RE5 4.5/5 Noooooope. Nuh uh. Not takin that seriously now.

  • Clovin64 - October 30, 2012 4:17 a.m.

    Resi doesnt need to be any more like Gears. Just make more survival horror games like Revelations on the 3DS. To be fair, Cliffy could probably do more than just Gears-style games. Maybe he's actually capable of doing a good survival horror.

  • alex-roy-bristol - October 31, 2012 7:11 p.m.

    Cliffy B is a bro, and a boss. I agree that we don't need a Gears of Evil, but, he could probably keep it pretty good if you ask me... which none of you did. ;) ... Hey, wait... Gears of Evil... Chainsaws, zombies, zombies with chainsaws into THEIR necks... Fuck yes! MAKE IT SO PEOPLE! >:D

  • Shinn - October 30, 2012 3:37 a.m.

    I dunno, I love Gears but the series feels pretty flat when compared to the other games I enjoy. I'm not interested in whatever the next one is.

  • HerpinDerpin - October 30, 2012 1:39 a.m.

    put chainsaws on the guns and have a 5th grader write the script

  • I'maCanadian! - October 29, 2012 10:05 p.m.

    Oh for the love of God, can we please find a new picture of Cliff!

  • marcelo-alejandro-fernandez-a - October 29, 2012 5:38 p.m.

    Make a scary game based on Sweet Home for Famicom. A game like Sweet home with today technology would be something amazing.

  • Zeos - October 29, 2012 5:03 p.m.

    I would agree with quick time events, they can be annoying for sure and RE6's use of them turned me off from the game a little at first. After spending much needed time with the game, (put in about 70 hours total now), I've gotten used to them and can easily beat them. So yes, the I agree the next RE either needs to lose QTEs all together or SEVERELY limit them.

  • 7-D - October 29, 2012 4:37 p.m.

    Scrap Resi, make something new instead.

  • lewis-barclay - October 29, 2012 2:25 p.m.

    Ok 1. Lose the quictime events. They were cool and all back in the days of God of war on ps2 but HOLY SHIT its old. Gamers are clamoring and buzzing like crazy saying crap like OMG WERENT THOSE QUICTIME EVENTS IN THAT GAME AWESOME. Those conversations dont happen. 2. Its about a virus and ZOMBIES so why is it so over complicated? Jesus capcom you aren't hideo kojima (creator/ writer/ director of the metal gear solid series). Just make the story engaging enough for us to give a shit and BOOM well play it. 3. STOP with the co-op. if anything it should be OPTIONAL. If we choose to play solo then we should'nt have to be forced to deal with a stupid talkative AI buddy. Just take them out altogether. Btw nothing is scarier than being alone and SECLUDED. Just saying. Playing with a bud talking and laughing with them just ruins the whole experience. 4. your inventory system SUCKS. Upgrade it. In re5 why the hell did BODY ARMOR take up space in your pocket? That was just plain lazy and dumb.5. Take out the el gigante wannabes. Wth el gigante was cool in re4 but now adding a fake one in every game is pretty dumb. Any other suggestions or opinions?

  • Zeos - October 29, 2012 1 p.m.

    If I were Capcom I'd give him a chance because he probably could perfect all the "summer-blockbuster-action" stuff RE6 and 5 seems so fond of. I like where the series is going still though and am already waiting for the announcement of the next big thing in the Resident Evil series.

  • Fuzunga - October 29, 2012 11:58 a.m.

    This does not compute. Resident Evil 6 is already a thing.

  • archnite - October 29, 2012 11:51 a.m.

    Some one needs to do something. Just because he was part of making Gears of War doesn't mean that's all he can produce. First step kick Co-Op out the ass and don't make the boss fights two hours long against a pointless villain.

  • tiben36 - October 29, 2012 9:55 a.m.

    "Would Clifford be a good choice to take the series forward in a new direction?!" so you actually want another RE6 didnt that one sucked just enough?
