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?

But at the moment Resident Evil just feels old to me.
In other words, keep the Resident Evil name, but use an entirely different theme, it would also give them the chance to implement some gameplay changes. Obviously it will still have to contain some sort of evil, but it doesn't have to be zombies.
Imagine crossing Resident Evil, Ghostbusters, Dino Crisis and Splinter Cell.
Also with the film it is hardly vital for the main series to continue anymore.
Zombies spread, gvt quarantied the city, you can play as an un-infected locals' resistance group or special forces (stars?) who've been sent in to clear the place up.
It could make a nice change...
