I wonder if Capcom will stop and wonder if the two most Western-style RE games released also getting the worst scores is somehow connected.


Nah, they'll probably assume that they didn't go far enough.

"Fuck. I knew we should have done the Jill and Barry campaigns. We don't have enough content."

I literally can't think of one criticism of this game that can't also be targeted at every other game in this series unless you have either never played the early RE games or just don't remember them.

"Combining herbs? That's stupid, why would you even do that?"

Indeed. I've been saying that forever, but criticize RE1-3 and the response is nothing but shouting and tears.

You're missing what the reviewer said. I don't know if you tried the demo out or not, but there is a distinct difference between how healing worked then, and how it works now. Personally, I don't have a problem with it now, nor did I back in the day. It gives you more options on how to use resources. However, it is infinitely more complicated than it ever was, and part of that is due to how the inventory works in RE6.

The game is inconsistent at best. There's merit to just about every one of those bad reviews. Id hesitate to call it either a good or a bad game. It's a great looking game with painfully mediocre level and gameplay design.
 
That's too bad, I'm sure I'll have a blast though. Love me some Resi.

Oh, and the true Resident Evil sequel came out earlier this year:

Great cast of characters, story and gameplay. Available now across the globe. :)

I wonder what they could do to take it even farther... (I'm setting you up here btw)
 
Well, I dunno if that's true for Mikami. He's now running Tango Gameworks which is owned by Zenimax, and he seems very happy so far with the support and funding he's getting. Zenimax is a huge AAA western publisher. :p


Yeah I enjoyed hearing about this a while back but I need to see what he puts out first before I comment about it. As for up until now though it hasn't been great for either party.

Yeah, this was best RE game in recent years. I still think that Capcom JPN is capable of making a great RE game, I just think they need to take a step back and see what's really important for the series.

It seems or feels like Ninja Gaiden 3 all over again.

Japan...quit trying to make games like Americans and just do what you're best at.

We loved your games more when they were more Japanese. As a matter of fact most of us starting gaming because of the way you used to make your games.


^^^^^^
Revelations is amazing and worth it...buy it people!

I knew the previews for RE6 weren't great, but I didn't expect all of this. Hopefully they'll look at the positive reception for RE:Revelations and rethink their approach for the mainline games.

But this is Capcom we're talking about, so I won't hold my breath.

Yeah that's fair. I'm looking forward to what he has to put out too, but we haven't seen anything worthwhile yet, that's for sure.

Seriously considering taking this off the Gamefly queue. I have way too much shit to play to give this time of day right now.

I found Ninja Gaiden 3 demo infinitely better of RE6 demo. RE6 is not even a playable game.

Capcom needs to get the Revelations team and director onto RE7.

Hell, I'll take the RE5 management over the RE6 team any day now.

Capcom tried to go the Uncharted route with RE6, which kinda went wrong. Maybe they will try to rip off Naughty Dog again with RE7, but this time ripping off a game that suits the franchise.
Last of Us!!
 
OMG at some of these scores. I didn't particularly care for the demo but I didn't think the final would be that big a drop in quality from RE5.

Christ, Capcom what have you done?

See, no one bought Revelations, and this is why we can't have nice things

Wrong platform in all honesty. Give it a re-release as a GoD like RE4 and CVX.

These reviews are a bloodbath. I was looking forward to this too! It's one thing when one or two reviewers are throwing out 4's and 5's.. but the middling scores are pretty much a consensus.

I still don't see why people call REv a great game. It has all the problems 6 seems to have with it's bloated, inconsistant campaign, abhorrent writting and dialog, 'streamlined' gameplay, bad bosses, and some absolutely terrible pacing.

If anything, it was the biggest precursor to RE6.
