Wouldn't be surprised if it was Silent Hill. Konami has proven again and again that they don't give a fuck about the series and will outsource it to any western developer they can find for cheap. One of the reasons Konami gave why they chose Vatra Games for Silent Hill Downpour was that they were based in czech and that their country was grim so that would translate to a grim game... They just don't give a fuck anymore.

True, that does imply Silent Hill more than RE.
I'm not sure what else would be left unless someone bought Atari while I missed it.
Could be a Call of Duty: Zombies fullblown title
The first CoD game to not use the Q3 engine!

Spark had to sue Activision after they made Finest Honest so I think that's just a tad unlikely: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/1740/call_of_duty_finest_hour__the_.php

Oh shit, completely forgot about that!
Ok, well im still leaning towards Fatal Frame, because i don't want to be like you cool kids with the obvious choices
I think Fatal Frame could make for a good FPS anyways, given the studio's "pedigree" and "new take on an established franchise"

FPP, First Person Photographer.
Blue Castle made outlandish, well received baseball games before Capcom hit them with Dead Rising. Not a perfect pair, but talent was evident.
There is literally not a single thing Spark has done that hasn't been completely shit on by everyone. I'm surprised they're still around.

Based on could also mean that an established franchise is the inspiration for this game which is a new ip.

Capcom should try using this excuse for DmC and see how far it gets them!
I thought Gameloft was behind that series.
Would love a new Clock Tower... but not like this =/

I guess it's RE6, it cannot be Silent Hill right?

I thought Climax did a decent job on the Wii version?
Placing my bets on a Dino Crisis reboot.
Though, neither did any of the entries since The Room.
Quality arguments aside, that one didn't exactly set the charts on fire.

I'm sure it's RE6
It's what Dascu said, it wasn't a sales hit.
Shame though, it's by far the best non-Team Silent Silent Hill game.

Whatever it is that Spark got their hands on, god help the fans of that franchise. I had to play through Legendary for a review and man, I REALLY wanted to see it with good eyes but there were simply too many crippling technical and game design flaws to take it seriously. I hear Turning Point had the exact same problems too.
You shut your whore mouth!
Plus, why would EA/visceral outsource the game's development when they're not doing anything else?
This is likely RE6. Knowing Crapcom rep and all.

I actually worked with several of the designers from that project after they left Spark. As bad as that game may have been they were actually really smart dudes.
A friend just found this...

Yeah, there were (and still are) a lot of good guys at Spark - the old management was the problem, not the individuals. And basically none of the old management is there any more, which is why they have gotten this... eighteenth lease on life.
It would be cool, in general, if GAF and people could try to understand that good people can make bad games. There are SO many places things can go wrong, and it doesn't take much to ruin a project.

Too true. A lot of game development is direction. You'll have talented guys who can get the work done, but if their leads aren't conveying the right vision and philosophies, you can easily end up with a pile of bull shit
This is shy Kojima and Miyamoto are worried about their own teams. Skill and creativity go hand in hand, but they aren't mutually exclusive. Obviously KP and all of Nintendo's internal teams are capable, but they aren't having their creativity nurtured; they don't have any "idea men" besides these guys.
Battlefront 3 has changed hands so many times already that it wouldn't surprise me if it's been offered to Nintendo to develop.

Weren't these the guys rumored to be working on Battlefront 3? Certainly fits the description.
Did the Star Wars zombie book sell a lot better than I thought or something? I seriously, seriously doubt that LucasArts would approve of any kind of horror concept for Star Wars games.
If they are still working on Battlefront 3, then it's surely the other title that isn't detailed in this article.

Sounds like Silent Hill to me.

Damn, hopes dashed.....The last time I looked on their page it didn't say anything about horror and I didn't read the op very well apparently. Why???!!?!?!?!? Why can't someone just make it already? So that pretty much kills any hope of BF3 coming out anytime soon..
Is there really a Star Wars zombie book? I wouldn't buy it.

Oh god. A western stuido making RE6? Jesus it would probably turn into some Gears or Dead Space clone. That would be terrible. While RE5 wasn't that good. It sure wasn't because of it's gameplay. People who say "just be able to aim and walk" don't get it. In RE4, the mechanics and how the game played added to the tension and still kept the game in it's horror roots. RE5's problems was that it had little atmosphere, poor enemy encounters, and co-op that was pretty pointless.
Capcom just needs to get their act together and and giving it to a western studio is not the answer.
