Canas Renvall Thee Stranger And it is a lot of the original team from the original RE working on it, so I think they deserve at least some trust at the helm. I mean, storyline-wise, at least RE5 is trying to bring it back on track. Last time I checked, Resident Evil 4 was made by Capcom Production Studio 4, same as the original RE. So if they're making RE5, then I have even less faith (I didn't have any to begin with, to be honest).
Yeah, but who's at the helm? Not Mikami this time. And many people on the team have expressed their distaste for the direction Mikami took the storyline. And I'm sure we can all agree on that.
Biohazard EXTREME Well, it's like saying, "Yes, majority of that person's flesh HAS been horribly burned in the fire, but we're TRYING to make him look as human as possible." Doesn't mean they can succeed, after the damage has been done.
Well, doesn't mean they can't either. Hey, we got plastic surgery and skin grafts now.
And just because the T-Virus was man-made, it was still derived from something that was there all along (Progenitor Virus). Virus's change and mutate naturally all the time in the real world, or when met with certain conditions over long periods of time. I realize that this is a far cry from the Plagas, but within RE's universe, it's not too far fetched, considering that something as dangerous as Progenitor has always been there all along. And really, the origins of the Plagas haven't been explained at all. I know they were "fossilized" in the castle, pointing to the fact that they had been around since, I don't know, prehistoric ages or something. But perhaps something else caused them to fossilize. It's not like Capcom doesn't change s**t around all the time. They could do it. Maybe someone did create it. Well... I don't know about that. I guess that would be kind of far fetched - some scientist in the 1700s engineering something like that, because for all intents and purposes, the Plagas would be a much more effective bioweapon than zombies. Plagas can organize, and they can be controlled. And since Umbrella had a lot more technology behind them, it'd make them all look like total deadbeats if something more sophisticated was made centuries earlier.
So maybe it was created by mankind inadvertently. Kind of like MRSA, which is a mutated, highly-resistant form of Staph Infection that built a resistance to antibiotics. Basically, it mutated over time in response to the constant antibiotics, and became stronger and more resistant. Maybe the Plagas was a form of the Progenitor Virus that was met with certain unique conditions, advertently or inadvertently, over a long period of time, which caused it to mutate - Making the Las Plagas a mutated form of the Progenitor Virus. Or maybe the Progenitor came into contact with some kind of micro-organism that caused it to mutate and evolve over a long period of time into the Plagas.
Of course, this all speculation, but if they explain it like that, I'd consider that to be pretty sensible damage control, and I'd be perfectly content with it. Well, not perfectly content, but as content as I can get, considering.
But I realize that you guys are purists, and have given up on it. I haven't yet. So you guys can sit this round out, and I'll tell you if you were right or not. Before you jump down my throat on that, I know your minds are made up that anything in the aftermath of RE4 is going to suck. So if I think it totally sucks, then I'll tell you that I should have listened to you. But I find the cautiously optimistic approach to be much more satisfying. |

Canas Renvall zeldagirl684 it's off topic, i'll just mention his atrocious decision to invest more in shovelware games for the "general public." basically giving the finger to hardcore gamers Oh boy... Here goes *deep breath*: Super Mario Galaxy Zelda: Twilight Princess Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Fatal Frame IV Deadly Creatures No More Heroes MadWorld Spyborgs Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (only if you're going to have someone to play with. And absolutely do not accept anything in it as canon) Dead Rising: Chop 'Til You Drop (unless you have the 360 version) Wii Music (HAHA just kidding) Megaman 9 Gyrostarr The Conduit Shall I continue?
You should blame Nintendo's execs for letting so many crappy games get made for it, instead of Miyamoto. He's just a game designer and all of his games are considered good (except for Wii Music which I personally thought was boring).
At first, I was happy Dead Rising was getting ported, but when I found out they're taking out a number of features (like photography), I was very disappointed. They need to port it to the PS3 instead so they can keep everything.
And I'll hugely agree with Canas about Umbrella Chronicles. Multi is the only way to play. biggrin |

Canas Renvall Thee Stranger Yeah, but who's at the helm? Not Mikami this time. And many people on the team have expressed their distaste for the direction Mikami took the storyline. And I'm sure we can all agree on that. Mikami wanted RE to originally have cyborgs and ghosts in it, but it was Capcom that stopped him. Capcom made RE what it was, not Mikami. Capcom made RE4 what is was after rejecting the paranormal ideas. Capcom is what's making RE5. My statement stands.
Moral of the story: Capcom can't make up their minds. |

Well, if that's the case... Capcom made the best possible decision in regards to RE4. Mikami's the one that came up with all the stupid stuff. |

Mikami came up with RE4. In fact, Capcom were the ones who rejected all the other ideas. I guess after so many attempts, they settled for parasites, because Mikami was all like, "I don't wanna make RE the way it was anymore."
He never wanted to make it about zombies, and he never wanted to make any of the sequels. He only did because Capcom made him. The only RE that he was actually happy working on (aside from RE4, which he considers 'true horror' as opposed to the other RE games rolleyes ) was Remake, and that's probably because of the nostalgia more than anything. |

Hmm... that's pretty lame, baby. Prett-iee lame... RE4 true horror? C'mon now, Mikami. Lay of the crack, man. Maybe you're better off staying away from RE. Maybe you should go back to Goof Troop and Disney, dude. I can respect his desire to 'evolve' the series, but RE4 didn't evolve anything in terms of a horror game.
And the guy gives conflicting interviews:
Gamepro Interview
"ASOB" book Interview (Warning: Atrocious Engrish translation)
zeldagirl684 ~sigh~ i hope the rest of the story makes up for the demo sweatdrop
Was the demo bad...? |
