This is my last post on
Resident Evil for now.
I think Capcom needs to stop the remakes, for now, or probably full-time if I have to be truthful about the state of the franchise. People (as in, many people) were left disappointed with RE3. There's really no reason to replay it as it's just not that amazing, and now M-Two are supposedly working on RE4 which is rather risky in general, considering RE4 is a mega-seller. They need to move past Raccoon City, 1998 and whatnot. That story with the city being nuked was done and dusted in the 90's, and now they want to rehash other old games, really for nothing other than the money.
We need to focus on the here and now. Like, they have the stupid and in my opinion, forced "Blue Umbrella" storyline to work with, that they introduced in
Not a Hero. I don't want Capcom to gradually introduce that crap into the series, and not make it go anywhere. It's another stalling tactic to lure in curious fans, to keep them coming back for new games that rarely truly connect to the prior titles. They cannot add in this sort of new plot stuff and abruptly don't follow up on it, over and over again. They really need to stop doing that. It makes the plot less and less easier to accept, understand, etc. When you realise they're doing that, it makes it easier to choose if you think it's worth supporting, or giving up.
