But Capcom can't just leave us hanging. We need to know what has happened to the main cast. Damnation could tell us some of the story but we need games to reveal the rest. I'm ok with new characters, as I've stated, but I for one would like to know what everyone is up to. And to add to the characters Nite mentioned I'd like to know what Nicholai and Ark are doing. I still think Steve is dead for good, but on the other hand I think Krauser is still alive so at least there are possibilities.

I for one would prefer if we had a new game in the series with a whole new cast but with respectable references or appearances of the past characters. I'm pretty tired of the same lousy, muddled plot with clichéd characters. I admit though, these characters were all great when first revealed to us, but now they lack personality and instead resemble predictable Hollywood counterparts.

And with all these theories of characters presumed dead still being alive, you'll only continuously drag this horrible plot onwards and we'll never see anything new! If they're dead, brilliant, lets please allow the series to move on...

Ada killed Krauser. He's done. There should be no questioning that. He sucked as a character anyway. He was so utterly boring. We pretty much know that Steve was being experimented on by Wesker. I'm sure he's still around somewhere.

^ Nuff said... Krauser was introduced to series purely for the sake of it.

- By the way, what would you like to see in Resident Evil 6 in terms of plot and setting etc.?

I've already stated what I want. An emotionally gripping tale of Sherry overcoming what happened in her childhood and to her family. Setting: Mars (just kidding ) How about a Gotham-esque city? More gloomy than Raccoon City. Main character: One of the less used classic characters or a new one. Make him/her seem like a real human being though. Take away the guns from enemies. It was dumb. It made them too humanly alive. I don't personally like Las Plagas. I'd rather have a new (better) virus which degenerates the physical form of beings while still having them maintain the qualities of a good BOW. Control, mainly. I'm not sure how you would go about controlling a virus though.

I think that I would actually enjoy that. Well, only time can tell, even though I've already lost faith in Resident Evil if the rumour that the series has fallen to the hands of a Western developer is true.

i totally agree on all points... but stray far from Raccoon... how about a nearby town, that an infected.... squirrel? got to (yes i know not very far, i didn't mean literally)

Now, that all being said, i'd like to add a bit to your Sig, for effect. Tasty.

But they didn't sell well and received bad reviews compared to previous entries. Although Homecoming felt as if it were a true sequel, many considered it to be a technical flaw, myself included. And as for Siren, I did actually enjoy it, but in no way can it compare to what Resident Evil once was. That said, it's a great game in its own right, but yet again it didn't sell as well as Sony had hoped.

I would hate to see Resident Evil follow the same path as Silent Hill. It seems as though Capcom is siding with the new fans of the series (mostly kids), to help boost sales by swaying further towards action rather than survival horror. I've played enough action games and they all seem exactly the same since the last generation, it's nothing new. But lets hope I'm wrong because I want to see Resident Evil return to its roots whilst enhancing the over-the-shoulder view to make combat and movement more fluid and accessible.

I agree with you NicemanCandy but I do want to see some things resolved like wheres billy and what happened to alex wesker. Maybe the 3ds game will involve alex.

Out of all the characters I can't help but want to know the future of Carlos and Billy. I would like to see Resident Evil 6 reboot the series, whilst keeping/enhancing gameplay, also with a fresh plot along with new characters. But chances are it will yet again stretch the already torn and misguided plot and further ruin the great characters. In my opinion Capcom will hurry the finale of each main character and then reboot the series for the next generation. I'm just sick of action games now... I want to feel fear and tension again, in the form of oldskool Resident Evil etc..

Sadly, we are an older audience now. The feelings the old RE's gave us can no longer be replicated. The best we will get is something like Dead Space.

I guess that's true... It's a shame really. I'm just glad I've still got the original Resident Evil's!
But does this mean goodbye to the series for me, seeing as I just can't enjoy the latest entries?

Blame it on all the xbox loving action humping fps retard twitch gamers out there.
