Onimusha is almost a perfect fit for a dev like NT to reboot.

No, just retweets of good scores.

I didn't realize the importance of comparing turds...is it that one turd is bigger than the other?
Or more stinky?? The both are unsettling.
LMAO @ the people here who were making excuses for that crap demo. I gave Capcom the benefit of the doubt and figured it was an old build or something. Unfortunately this polished turd will sell at least $10M. The devs should all be fired, I have never seen someone turn on their fans like this. Capcom NWO'd gamers.

He acts like a child, it's quite embarrassing to see one of my favorite developers act like that. Often putting down his own fans too.
They're busy retweeting good reviews. Not that I'd expect them to RT bad ones, though.

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I'm sure it won't bomb-bomb like RE:R.

I'm around, but I'm hoping the review speaks for itself. I respect that other people are going to have different opinions on this one and some folks don't think it's as bad as I thought it was, but I think my text fully explains my issues and matches the score we gave it.
Nah, I played some co-op with Tim. I knew he liked it a lot more than me. I don't understand it entirely (and I haven't read his text yet), but so it goes.

Make a true mix of old school RE with RE4 combat.
Sounds a lot like posts I've read in the Diablo 3 thread.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this anymore. I said it in the demo thread when I first tried it out and some fans tried to tell me that I was dead wrong, crazy, etc.

I can't freaking wait to see this game.It's okay guys, Shinji Mikami will save Survival Horror: http://tangogameworks.com/project/index_en.html
Ignoring this game, Capcom has had a terrible generation this gen, pretty much starting after Resident Evil 5 came out. Overall weak critically, sales were strong at first but have fallen off greatly, etc. It'll be interesting to see how this game sells.'
Edit: That shot looks amazing. But which company is he working for? Never heard of them lol

You have the usual combat QTE's but those are the norm and are a key part of the game, there combat mechanics; and the reason those turret stuff works because the games interweaving plots have been building up to that.
Revelations is just an amazing game, I agree its incredibly polished. It had focus, if that were RE6 (with improvements ofc, in the heavy combat areas) it'd be a fantastic return to form.
Am just hoping we get another Revelations as its obvious its increasingly important for the brand to at least remind players what about RE is so good.

Remember the pre-RE4 footage of Leon in that house with all the weird shit going on? They need to go back to that and remember their survival horror roots. It's a real shame the series has turned into a Gears wannabe, there was no need for it. Think up another franchise or experiment with a less successful one, don't fuck with one of your biggest sellers. Sigh.
I have replied to a post. Anyway, I don't think ng3 is that bad, if you forget it's a ninja gaiden. RE6 could be even worse, if it wasn't a RE franchising, imho. I found the demo a wreck train.
He left Platinum Games and started up his own studio in Japan. The studio was then acquired by Zenimax shortly after, so now he has one of the biggest worldwide publishers backing his studio and vision.
Um.... that was the supernatural RE4 build, which is not at all what the series is about...
Oh awesome. Interested to see more of that game then.
Huh? RE5 has sold very consistently since its release. In Japan, it's the only million selling console game this gen aside from FFXIII (this counts Alternative Edition).
RE5 is the highest selling game of the series.

Because some thought that game was good and others thought the game was rubbish.

I suppose that's why "real fans buy the system for the games" wasn't an effective rallying cry for Revelations. I enjoyed it, so I'm just glad it was made at all.

what has happened here:
- anti-japanese sentiment has reached a tipping point in western press
- capcom are an acceptable developer to criticise due to their mixed business practices
- the game is bloated and excessive, but it's also difficult and has a steep learning curve
consequently, re6 becomes the perfect target to;
a. prove journalistic integrity by tearing down an AAA title
b. slaughter a hugely popular japanese brand with a sound 'motive'
reality: re6 still contains more imagination and innovation than most (if not all) AAA western games.

It's really baffling that after Revelations, a game that showed so much promise for combining the RE4 gameplay with the feeling of the original 5 games (pre RE4) with some obvious deviations, they came up with ... well this, whatever this is.
I know not many people share my view on Revelations being one of the best RE games to come out, but at the very least it is a consistently good game with great value and a great amount of content.
While RE6 seems to really only have the content going for it. What a shame.
Isn't a mixture of reviews more objective than the usual?
Mass Effect 3 getting 9s from every reviewer on the planet hardly tells you anything in comparison.
And making Wesker his BFF.

Again, read the NeoGAF OT. We've been discussing the game starting somewhere in the page 30s. Been some very good feedback of what is good and bad about the game, even before these reviews many were calling on it being one of the most polarizing games of this gen.

Well it was more of a nod than what we got. Super natural maybe not, but survival horror for sure. Needs fixed cameras, creepiness, puzzles and slow moving enemies.

Jeff doesn't like RE4 or the RE series anyway, so it's not like his opinion is exactly relevant here.
No because dudebro games still tend to review well.
This is like Inversion. Or like FUSE will be.

The reviews that pin the game as awful are pretty one-dimensional and lack the depth of an actual gameplayer. You want to know which Capcom games are really bad? Try playing Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight or Yo! Noid for the NES.
It seems to be a combination of where we are with game tastes in America combined with the need to be overdramatic in the press. It's clear that Japanese game titles have been out of favor in the U.S. in the last couple of years. People may complain about a QTE event but then praise the hell out of a COD level where you bomb things from the sky in black and white fuzzy view.
Not saying that people don't have the right to score the game as average due to the action elements, but a 3 or 4, which would be at or below RE: ORC, and far below any run-of-the-mill next-gen FPS entry, isn't an accurate portrayal of the title as a whole.

Cynical types will point to moneyhats and propping the industry. Not saying they're categorically wrong.
The circle is complete. They learned from sales of Revelations and Operation Raccoon City where the money is.

The reviews don't surprise me. I was pretty hyped for the game - a first for me and the Resi series since I tried out the demo for 4 and felt compelled enough to buy it - but when I played the demo that hype deflated to nothing. It was awful, especially Chris and Jake's sections, and I'm glad the reviews reflect that. Capcom should never be given a free ride just because they're a big publisher and this is a mainline title in a triple A franchise. If something is crap, then it should be called out as such.
