Since Capcom may be bought out... Shinji Mikami can return?

ATTENTION: Capcom can be bought out now because they are bankrupt. With Shinji Mikami now creating The Evil Within, he can redeem his reputation as the father of Survival Horror, and if The Evil Within is a success he can probably afford to buy his rights to his original creation, Resident Evil, and once he does that he can properly give us a RE2make and RE3make. SPREAD THE WORD.

   Just wishful thinking for now but man hopefully we can get the original traditional RE tank control style and pre-rendered backgrounds version REmade for RE2 and RE3

Unless another publisher puts in a higher bid.

I doubt it, considering he's the reason why the fixed camera was left behind to begin with.

I doubt it. Shinji already said that The Evil Within is the last major game he's going to work on. Once the game is completed, he said that he plans on stepping back and letting the younger people at Tango take-over.

It could possibly happen, but even then, Shinji wouldn't lead any future projects.

I can dispute that... he later on said in a later interview that he will make games as long as fans demand. I remember reading that interview, but he changed his mind! We still got hope.

Wishful thinking.

They aren't bankrupt. They are selling their shares. That's a totally different thing.

Redeem his reputation??

He lost it at some point? I actually had to read the OP again, totally missed that part

Uhh yeah, his reputation for survival horror/horror went down as games like Outlast, Amnesia, and other newer games emerged. And then there's the overrated The Last of Us as well that he is up against.

But really when I say his reputation, what I mean is he needs to regain Resident Evil's particular reputation for what it once was, and what it can be now. That's truly what I mean by redeeming.

Open your minds! Anything can happen.... just keep in open mind and spread the word. Having Mikami in charge for Resident Evil, will definitely be good news. I create this thread to just mention the idea for fans among fans.

Oh, I must have missed that interview. I guess it all depends on the success of The Evil Within.

That's more accurate, RE lost its reputation, not Mikami and if I was him I would stay away from the franchise forever, more of like a hipster ....btw those games you named aren't nowhere near classic RE games...

But they are the most well received of modern horror.

Oh god man, I don't even like Amnesia, Outlast, and TLoU. If you play REmake on Real Survival Mode and play through it, that's a true test of survival horror. First of all, Amnesia and Outlast are FPS games and aren't really survival horror, more like just plain "run away defenseless" horror. The last of Us also isn't survival horror, it's much more action oriented and it isn't anything like RE.

These games are overrated IMO... plus also these new games don't have the notorious reputation that RE has.

No they aren't. They may be first person but there is no shooting whatsoever in neither of them.

You know what I mean, the camera style is first person so it falls under the FPS category but with horror elements.

Lol, there's literally people out there saying RE or The Evil Within should be in first person. Personally to me if it is in first person, I'd just be reminded of a first person shooter.

Really? We have a pretty diverse forum, and I don't want to brag about that, but this is the first I've heard of anyone saying that. Who says that Resident Evil and Evil Within should be a FPS?

Yes they are, I don't mean they are bad, I mean they are a very different genre IMO. Besides, sometimes, just sometimes, I think devs make those games just for annoying let's players so they can put their best stupid face at a scary moment.

For the record, I love Slenderman LPs. As far as I'm concerned, that is the only purpose for that game.

I know what you mean but... No, no they really don't. They are first person horror games. FPS refers to first person shooters, something these games aren't. Doom is an FPS because it involves shooting. Both Outlast and Amnesia are just survival horror with a first person perspective.

I mean, neither Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy nor Lost Crown: A Ghost Hunting Adventure are FPS games by no means even if they both are played from the character's perspective.

That's like calling clocktower a point and click adventure game

Even that would be closer to truth since it involves pointing and clicking, even if it is in a horror setting.

I have spent the last year and a half talking to morons on YouTube in the comments section, who just bash The Evil Within / Resident Evil videos with their profound "experience" of Amnesia or Outlast, or Slenderman. Of course, I find out sooner that these guys are people who only play FPS games, who only started Resident Evil at RE4, and they actually never played any of the older RE games, and WORSE yet, they don't even PLAY ANY of these games, they just watch LPs on YouTube and try to criticize how RE / Evil Within should be.

WTF???

That's the Internet for ya. I've had my fair share of gray hairs for online stupidity over the years as well.

Okay, that's what I thought. No actual fans of the series would want it to get butchered into a linear first person shooter that gets grinded out every year. Though, I started off on Resident Evil 4, it remains to be my favorite game of all time. You have to understand that Resident Evil 4 really did bring in a huge market of gamers, and you shouldn't really talk down about them like they're the plague and you're some RE elite purist. RE4 was an introduction for a lot of gamers to the franchise.
