Resident Evil 5 - a “new direction” for the franchise

[Vector]

I absolutely love Sheva. Her adorable demeanor, her fighting skills, her unlockable outfits(mmm). I liked her as it was, but then I read her 36-page file and fell in love with her. She's a very cool character with more backstory than many Resident Evil characters. I have such a crush on her.

It sucks though, I'll soon know how the Barry and Rebecca fans feel as she'll be buried and never heard from again.

I'm okay with new characters and new plots so long as there is always a connection to the original storyline of Resident Evil. This can be done numerous ways, but I think it's most plausible to have a character we're already familiar with be the new main villain, preferably Sherry. Ada also has a lot of potential, considering she can be viewed both as a villain and as a "good guy." Also, we need to always keep the roots of Umbrella. Always. Capcom should also never introduce a new character without associating them with an original character. Sheva worked out nicely because she was with Chris in RE5, and if Sheva were to appear in another game and become a main character, I'd be over the moon with happiness.

I prefer they avoid some long-lost relative of the main characters (i.e., Jill has a younger sister that suddenly shows up and shit like that). Just... please no.

I don't think any of this is too much to ask for, and I pray Capcom realizes that they need to be careful in order to retain the series' roots. Gradual introduction works better than a complete makeover.

if RE5 is the last game RE game to have Chris and Wesker and RE3 the last time we'll ever see Jill again as the main character then you can sign me out , not fucking paying a penny to see my fav franchise get raped to death for money , fuck you capcom for screwing over your fans, maybe you should watch how Koei and konami treat their fans before you make a stupid move like this , RE is the #1 survival Horror and will always be , i got used to RE4 new gameplay and now they're going to take the only thing that makes RE5 worth playing? don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out to bankruptcy, the same morons who only played it because it plays like gears of war will move on to other games ,the ratings show that everyone thought that RE5 was too slow and should be an action game, and even if they added strafing and completely turned it to an action game then it will STILL suffer in sales.

I'm gonna have to seriously consider buying RE6 when it rolls around. As far as I'm concerned, the Resident Evil storyline died Spoiler:

with Wesker.

RE4 did just fine without wesker in it so i won't cry if the next RE6 won't have wesker in it , all it matters is returning old characters to the series , the same characters we've grown to love through the whole franchise.

Wesker wasn't in RE4? Hmm...that's news to me. And that's besides the point, because

even if Wesker wasn't seen in a RE game, he's always been there behind the scenes. And now...he's gone.

well aside from appearing in ada campaign he had no role what so ever in RE4 main plot , he only commanded ada to get the parasite sample so he didn't face leon or worked with the las plag guys, how many times wesker died anyway? in RE5's ending the lava didn't kill him and he was still sitting there like it was water , so if he is powerful enough to survive a lava how the fuck is two rockets is going to do anything to him?

watch the ending again , notice how there was a big splash behind wesker? and if it hit him then his body parts would splatter in the air , yet it was clean , like he dived under the lava right after the missiles missed him.

He was also fused with Uro. Uro's weakness is fire/heat. Even Wesker couldn't survive two rockets and being drowned in lava.

But... they didn't miss him... The rockets took his head clean off before splashing in the lava. I don't care what it looked like happened, it was the intention of the cinematics director that his head was obliterated before the explosion, to ensure everyone knew he was finally dead and done with.

yeah but he was accepted by uro so maybe that weakness only apply to those who got rejected? because we have NO prove what so ever that uro weakness is the same for both who got accepted and who didn't , and how did he manged to survive long enough to try and drop the helicopter down if Uro weakness was fire? lava is strong as hell so strong to the point it can melt metal , so he should have died as soon as he fell, no matter how much moves he stole from neo.

it's RE , they can come up with what ever reason they want to bring him back, he is the most iconic villain aside from nemesis and umbrella.

It got me thinking about those "Wesker children". I wouldn't be too surprised if Wesker has a twin brother called Antonio Wesker, who wants to actually rule the world by starting his own dictatorship, complete with Nazi propaganda. *shivers* Ugh, yeah, on second thought, here's hoping they don't...
