I just got my new Game Informer magazine in the mail and they brought back a wonderful feature. The Game Infarcer which gives mock previews/reviews of ridiculousness games. They featured Resident Evil 6...I'll type up the short article.

Resident Evil 6 Goes Retro

Heartened by the success of retro downloadable titles like Mega Man 9 and Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Capcom has announced plans to take the popular Resident Evil franchise back to its old-school roots. The upcoming sixth installment will reportedly return to the glory days of the series, before it worked or was fun.

RE 6 features five fully evadable enemies, tank-like controls, and the original terrible voice cast. Players must also content with hilariously cramped inventory space and can only save a few times during the entire game. These improvements are sure to please longtime Resident Evil fans who won't shutup about the PSone iterations - especially those who resent the compromises the series has made in the interest of not sucking. "Load times this long aren't even technically possible on current-gen hardware." laughs Capcom's Keiji Inafune. "The team is actually altering the code manually in order to make doors open absurdly slow, thereby delivering the true classic Resident Evil experience".

LOL, I thought this was great. Reminded me alot of the hardcore fans who bitch nonstop about how their deluded nostalgia makes them believe that the older RE games are far superior.

My only gripe about the magazine? They listed the top ten evil corporations in video games. Somehow they decided that the Shinra Electric Company from Final Fantasy VII is far more evil than Umbrella.

I've thought for sometime that Capcom might just go down that route actually.

On a current gen console, I don't see it happening. If they were to develop a game for the wii or psp (which there still isn't much news on) then I can see it happening. Would be really hard to showcase the power of the system if it went back that far to its routes. I do believe they have figured out though that the majority of the fan base wants more horror elements over action elements. I would personally hate it if it went back to anything close to what it was control wise. I'd be ok with the fixed camera angles...just something really has to be done about the controls.

I miss Game Infarcer. This made me lol. I liked old RE, but not all that. I actually liked the new camera and aim system. I just wish it was more horror orientated.

Hey I love tank controls. Funny article but I would love a return to the old school in a side game or some retro game like MM10. Of course without the load times and with the enhancement brought from years of RE development.

I like RE4 style more but there is room for old school, those games were in no way broken and are very much playable today.

I really didn't find it that funny, it was more insulting then anything.

RE5 is great and all, but he basically said everything before RE4 sucked and they weren't fun games, which as we all know (I would hope) isn't true in the slightest.

Also, I've seen plenty of loading times that were much longer then the door opening scenes. :lol: See: PS3 version of Bayonetta.

I found it a bit offensive and stuck up too. Since when did game mags start hiring trolls?

Though if Capcom ever did release some classic stlye RE games over PSN, it would make my day. :biggrin:

Oh yeah they are bad, but not as bad as those other fans that whinge and cry about how every game before RE4 sucked, and anyone who even thinks of liking them is a deluded nostalgia freak. Right? :lol:

I'm happy to keep RE5's gameplay engine, camera, etc. just I want oldschool Resident Evil type pacing, atmosphere, enemies etc.

Basically, give me Resident Evil 1-3 in RE5's engine, or a new RE game in that vain and I'll be happy.

And as far as Gamepro goes, weren't they, along with EGM touting RE2 as "The gaming event of 1998" back when it was first released? Now apparently it sucked along with all the others prior to RE4? Game Infarcer or not :P

You're confusing Gamepro with Game Informer, the latter is the one who did this parody.

I found it quite amusing, although I would like them to take this route, minus the long load times of course.
