I was not aware of this.
I wouldn't say this is killing off the RE franchise for good but it may ruin my expectations for this game being good.
An injury was inflicted upon Resident Evil when 5 came out but it managed to survive...sort of.
If you think I'm hating this game for it's gameplay being different from the others, you're mistaking. I'm trying to hope for this game to be good but because of all the negativity Slant Six has been getting for past titles, it worries me and I wouldn't think this is the end of Resident Evil unless Capcom decided to quit the series and let SS own the whole thing which won't happen. I'm not worried about the franchise itself, but the game. ORC is a spin off, a sort of What If. If I thought this game was gonna kill the franchise I came to know and love, don't you think I would be raging in here like I did in MKvsDC when I thought the lack of an M rating was gonna seriously harm Mortal Kombat itself?
In that case I agree more or less, if that's where you're coming from.
I wasn't referring to you necessarily when I made my comment. Just some Resident Evil fans in general. For example, someone on another forum said this about ORC:
Now, I understand your reasons for being worried about how ORC will turn out, so don't get me wrong, but when cretins like the one I quoted above say shit like that, it just makes me think less and less of the RE fanbase in general, especially those who are all like "There's no good games in the series whatsoever past RE3". They can't see things past their own nostalgic blurred vision, ****ers.
But yeah, the last part of what you said there is definitely true.
Resident Evil 5 didn't kill Resident Evil. resident Evil 5 is the highest grossing Resident Evil game of all time and made Capcom a shit ton of money.
It only "killed the franchise" to the hardcore fans. And, well, you guys don't matter.

Guess it's a good thing the game's been delayed. I worried this game would suck for it looked like a get rich quick scheme but it looks like Slant Six is putting a lot of effort into this. Please don't let this suck.
I swear, if Nemesis encounters and fights William Birkin in G form, I can die a happy man.

I couldn't agree more. I'm very curious to see how the boss fight will turn out. It'll no doubt trigger when he's in his second form. He didn't seem to know the difference between S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella Mercenaries in RE3 when that happened.
Resident Evil was at its weakest when it was a survival-horror game. If you'll notice, it's only once the series started progressing toward action-adventure (In RE:4) that it started selling really well and getting great reviews.

The tendency for most game franchises these days is they 'sell out' and follow the market trend.
It's understandable, but for the sake of the premise of the original game, these games are no longer what they were.
You catch my drift?
The devs were clearly targeting the masses, particularly the typical Western audience, who are (for some weird reason) die-hard fans of generic shooter games.
RE will never be the same, like it was in 1-3.
Hence, it is 'dead'.
It will never be as good a survival-horror game as it once was.

RE Revelations and such begs to differ, which makes the whole "Resident Evil will never be what it once was" bullshit seem even more nonsensical, especially if RE6 happens to live up to its claims/rumors about returning more to survival horror roots.
