I hope it goes back to the more action heavy five or six.

Those were my favourites.

Please no.

7 just got them back to their horror roots. We don’t need another generic action flick like the mess that was 6.

Yeah I was thinking the same.

I mean sure, someone needs to make a decent Left 4 Dead 3, yeah. But that should not be Resident Evil, especially considering how mediocre the action-centric titles were in hindsight (they were good for their time though, granted).

To be fair, Resident Evil has been action oriented since the original Resident Evil 2. The developers themselves literally said they wanted the series to be more similar to Hollywood action movies.

What about an adaptation of the 2002 Resident Evil movie starring Milla Jovovich because that was the movie that started the franchise.

Rather have them burn the franchise down and make something original before getting desperate enough to dig up that turd.

I liked the remakes of 2 and 3, and 4.

5 and 6 were fun to play co-op. I generally prefer third person games, which is why I haven't played 7.

5 was over the top, and I like how in 6, there was a marked difference between playing as Ada, Leon vs the more action heavy Chris playthrough.

They could do another game like 6 but go harder with that concept of picking your play style.

Play 7. It’s the vastly superior experience.

The remakes are fun but I’m with the other commenter saying that I’d rather see Left for Dead 3 get made by a different company and not have to sacrifice a good horror game for a mediocre class based shooter.

There are tons of games with different classes and play styles. Resident Evil those are not.

I’m kind of okay with them going whichever way they have creative ideas. Even RE’s action design has been really fun except when they tried to “streamline” it in RE6.

I saw the title and thought this was another politics thread
