"Resident Evil 4, should it end?"

Naturally the Resident Evil series is a major money grabbing series, yet with the fourth encounter planning on being the ultimate Resident Evil game and Shinji Mikami not seeing a future past this game begs the funademental question... could this be the end?

Resident Evil 4 does look incredible, it promises loads and with rumours of Wesker and Chris related mishaps it could finally put a close to the Resident Evil storyline... especially with one of the main characters set to bow out. The game with the new ghost esq. baddie looks damnable scary and it begs the question whats next?

Naturally Capcom need the series but it is hardly neccessary to keep the main adventure. 6 incredible games would make up the legacy and with Dead Aim and the online series just starting up, games revenue would still continue. A second movie is still in the works and that also provides more revenue. It is no surprise that Capcom are willing to stick the series on the Gamecube, yet when the sixth game is done we may have had enough. The once chart topping game isn't reaching that status anymore and although a lot is being said about the fourth game not much about the future.

I personally think we should be seeing the final Resident Evil encounter some time next year... do you have any thoughts on the matter?

My point exactly

The games are brilliant.

Gerrid liked Mission Impossible, take no notice of him.

Because these five million people are misguided/stupid/able to have their own opinions

Because they want to make money. Are you really that stupid or is it just
inbreeding?

My bed is against a wall.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...

Oh, and he didn't say the game wouldn't sell, he said it was crap.

Duh.

Your right, no wonder the game flopped. All that money wasted, i wouldnt be surprised if capcom went under soon.

If it was that bad then why would 5 million people worldwide buy atleats one copy. And why would they have made 3 sequeals and remakes whilst working on 3 more new original titles for the series.

hmmmm.... the phrase "should havee been canned from the start" drifts quickly to the back of my mind.

It'll never sell...
