I'm betting either DMC, Monster Hunter, Lost Planet, or the Capcom VS franchises will be next. Street Fighter will be the very last thing they give up, because it's the only thing they see as 100% profitable all the time.

It's quite sad, honestly. I really thought Capcom would have learned from their mistakes of these past few years, but it seems they just don't care.

Otherwise I wouldn't buy them :P Still, they made Darkstalkers Resurrection so they could test the market for it yet they didn't even promote it very hard. Then they just go and say it was a "failure" even though it made the US top charts on PSN, thus making the chances we'll ever see Darkstalkers 4 quite slim.

I do agree though, the fanbases are a big problem in themselves. I swear, even if we had gotten some Megaman game recently they would still propably have complained about some aspect of it and determed it as "shit", like a lot of ignorant people seemed to do with DmC.

RE6 actually improved the gameplay in the right way (move while shooting, AT LAST!), but I really think it's going downhill, meaning that it's a 'scary game' that isn't scary. I'll give you Leon's 1st chapter, but for the rest, I don't know you, but I felt like I was playing an action game with zombies.

The ones who complain about this (including me) aren't saying to "go back to 1998 and crappy camera angles and bad controls." What we want is a game that makes us feel scared, a true horror game. It doesn't mean to take out the shoulder camera and all that.

Look RE: Revelations. It's a perfect example of what we're looking for. Good gameplay, low ammo (remember it's a 'survival') and a scary athmosphere.

Btw. I disagree with the "crappy" angles. I think they make the old games have more charm. Without that they wouldn't be as playable today.

But they aren't playable. That's the thing, back then in the 90's sure, I'd shit my huggies over a zombie but they're incredibly laughable by todays standards. No horror, terrible voice acting and horrendus controls. Games like Silent Hill still keep with the horror theme despite the hard limitations. Some people tend to forget that at a younger age you're easily scared so people would think they were scarier but if you go back and play them, the series really hasn't changed aside from camera angle and gameplay. The HUGE EXPLOSIONS are in those games too and not once do you feel scared. Running around with a rocket launcher launcher, a shotgun and a handgun yet RE6 is the problem.

Oh, but I don't play the games for the horror. I play them because I find them fun as hell. I don't even know how many times I've replayed RE2 just for the sheer enjoyment of it. I just find the unique style of the games more fun than any regular 3rd person shooter from those times. That's what makes them more playable to me than a dated TPS. Heck, it's not even long when I bought a PC version of RE3 just because I wanted to try it on another platform.
