I should imagine Capcom will continue with the Resident Evil series. Look what they did with the Street Fighter 2 series. Squeezed and squeezed until all life was taken out of it. We have already had a plethora of spin offs on all platforms. I'm not too interested in the spin offs like "Survivor" or "Outbreak" they don't really hold what I am looking for in a survival horror game.
yeah, the spin offs are kida weak, even if survivor was good, it never did realy live up to the actual series, and it was a bad move to remove the online function in europe(i'm talking to YOU CAPCOM >=( )
capcom has a bad reputation with sucking the life out of a good game series...but we also know that they can make realy good games like viewtiful joe and devil may cry(even if Nr.2 was medicore), and they have the magic to turn other none capcom games into gems(zelda oracle of ages/sesons, the minish cap)
Fortunately the backbone of the series has been really dynamic and interesting. I was a little worried with Resident Evil 2. Feeling that they could be getting too easy. But Resident Evil 3 eased any worries I had on that front.
that's what i was thinking after i finished RE3..."how long can they make RE games if they do it in the same location?"
and they have proven that they can make KICK-ASS RE games with other locations(REcode: veronica X)
The only other worry that I really have is character restriction. I really don't fancy playing the series where there are only 4 main characters to play about with. Then 3 sub characters that make smattered appearances throughout the series (I swear if Annette Birkin comes back, I'm quittin the series).
well, they made a strange twist with bringing back albert wesker in "code: veronica"...there is NO WAY he WANTED the tirant to stab him in the first plase.
but still, evry games series need a "human" bad guy...and turning wesker into that...thing he is now makes an entirely new turn to the posebileties of the plot.
But this can easily be fixed now they have taken the series outside of Racoon City. I just hope that they don't go insane with the story line and take away the core of the series, good clean zombie stompin action!
well, RE3 had the least puzzels of the series...and the one that MAY top it is RE4. not that it is a bad thing, RE3 was the one with the most action.
