I read about this before about the Biohazard name being used by another propperty. But I do agree Resident Evil does sound stupid.
I mean it does make a lick of sense especially the first one as it's in a mansion but for 4 and 5 respectively? I know Capcom's naming it RE for the characters and brand recognition and whatnot but I think it's high time they make something new out of the RE of old formulae.
A new horror game perhaps? One with vampires? No? How about lawyers then?! Too realistic now I expect...
@Captain McNinja: I wonder if the Japanese versions say "BIIOOOHAZAARD (insert number)!!" Or maybe they just say the Japanese name for Biohazard. More likely, they don't have a word for Biohazard...why am I rambling?
So luke did they every reply back to you about the 1.8 mb "ahem" dlc? im just gonna assume no and their too busy trying to find PR replacements for the ones they just fired.
@Ninja Peach: Haha yeah. That one is more entertaining because they were worried about people vandalizing Puckman arcade cabinets and turning it in to Fuckman.
Yeah we all know he's the one who drastically changed RE in the first place. Being swept away by the first RE. I have mixed feelings about where the franchise is going.
The aiming and such are obviously better but at what cost? It does play like a shooter now compared to a horror game. In that perspective, I understand where the people want this game to go old-school once again.
On the other hand, a lot of people were pissed at Capcom for keeping the clunky controls in the first place, and Capcom does need the RE namesake so it'll move a bajillion copies.
Don't get me wrong I'll be getting RE5. Co-op is something I relish in horror games as long as they don't overpower the players too much.
I have to admit there's less and less horror in RE's survival-horror niche. I do hope they make another horror franchise. Preferably one where you don't shoot anything that moves and the enemies are not test-tube made freaks.
I mean who wouldn't want a new RE-like game with vampires and such? Oh and please make the horror genuine. Don't rely on startling people...
He comes off a bit whiny, but I completely see his point. If you created a fictional world, you'd likely be apprehensive if somebody else took creative control of it.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read a devlopper say, seriously. It's like saying to Capcom, you can't do it as well as I do, and it just makes him look like an Ego maniac!
I mean, Kojima makes one of the biggest franchise in the industry and he still praise other's job on his franchise.
Honestly, Mikami should've kept his promise and cut his own head off when RE4 came out on PS2.
@jmill87: Because it's smoother than jeans and tee-shirts and geek-cuts. Although if you search on youtube there is video of Mikami during the maiking of RE1 with HUGE glasses and a bowl cut before his fashionista transformation. Another look at his reinvented fashion conscious self can be found on the zelda documentary, look for it on youtube if you want.
@new_pornographer: T-shirts and jeans are the classic cool, and there is no need for them to ever leave the fashion world. They're practical and not ugly. Mid fashion, if you will. They've lasted for a much longer time than any other fashion, and high fashion is just another way of saying "I'm going to be embarassed by this in a few years"
My style hasn't changed in well over a decade, and there's no reason for it to. If it looks good now, it will always look good. If I happen to look like everyone else, ok... If I don't look like anyone else, great.

I've never seen a band let out there emotions on a crowd, and a crowd respond like that in my life.

Yes, I know that was the joke.

I've always wondered why that was. Finally, an answer to the million dollar question! I feel complete now... well, almost.

This was quite known well before Luke posted this. Either GAMEFAN Magazine or NEXT GENERATION back in 1996 explained this and that is how I find out.

Again, Mikamisan took RE4 in its new direction in the first place.

If it's anything like how we feel I bet they cry themselves to sleep everytime one of them is released.

Do you really want to sully a gaming page with a quote from a testosterone-overdosed moronathon like Dwayne Johnson?

If he had done that, we'd all miss out on whatever he has up his sleeve.
