Im not apologizing for some of the dumber things capcom has done. Nor am I saying they are the same company they were 10 years ago; however, your admitted lack of exposure to their current games basically invalidates your opinion and makes it nothing more than a simple troll.
Blah blah - nice try fella, but I'm currently slogging through DMC3, on Level 9, so my comments are qualified. It doesn't take an MIT graduate to see that Capcom's dated RE engine, the basis for the DMC series, is inappropriate for the sort of game Capcom is trying to make.
The RE engine is the worst thing to happen to Capcom in the past nine years.
You are disinterested in a game because you hate the franchise despite the fact that re4 is a complete departure from this franchise.
Can you fault me for just lumping
Resident Evil with
Resident Evil?
At what point is it beneficial for a company to ditch a franchise title and call it something else in order to attract players who aren't interested in said franchise?
Everything folks here have been telling me about RE4 makes me slightly interested, but seeing as how I had to sell my GC to pay some bills - I'm not going to lose any sleep over not playing it. At the very least, I'm interested in checking out RE4, because if it really is that good - then it's most definitely going to be the foundation for
every 3D action game Capcom makes for the coming decade; see also the detrimental impact the RE engine had on Capcom's current game development.
I'm really looking forward to next generation in the hopes that aside from spiffy graphics, we'll see developers moving away from bad design staples like fixed camera angles and other Mikami inspired trappings. I hope developers find creative new ways to express and view game worlds as one of the biggest complaints I have about the current state of gaming is that camera placement in games is the biggest strike against any game out of the gate. Either it's rubbish, or it requires baby sitting.
For my tastes, stuff like Monster Hunter (
Granted MH isn't great, but it's a passable PSO wann-be), Under the Skin, and Okami are a breath of fresh air.
