GAMING NEWSCapcom Believes It Can Balance Action And Horror In Resident Evil 6Posted on Friday, September 21 @ 13:56:56 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
Resident Evil 6 doesn't appear to be scary. I wonder what Capcom has to say about that. During an interview with GamaSutra, Executive Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi explained that his team working on Resident Evil 6 believes they have struck a balance between horror and action. I wholeheartely disagree. The moment you add as much adrenaline-rich gameplay, chaotic noise, and character effectiveness as Resident Evil 6 provides to a game, all hope for horror is lost. Sure, you might have a lurker or two pop out from a window, but how often can you do that before the player finds it obnoxious? Then again, Resident Evil hasn't been frightening in years. That's especially disappointing because when I was a child playing the original two installments I could have sworn that better graphics would have made the game's far more ripe with friction. However, all we have to show for it is co-op and some multiplayer modes. What a missed opportunity. More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

This idea can be achieved but by Capcom I don't know about that. they have shown us they gave it a fair shake with the 3DS game but we'll see. I'll reserve judgement on RE6 until I actually have it in my hand.s

Also Die hard is awesome if RE was like Die Hard I'd love it more.

That was background to preface the question I'm about to pose to those of you who actually do like survival horror, and seem to hate the direction RE has gone: Is it possible that RE seems to suck now, and not be as scary, because we are all older and not as easily frightened?
