Awful developer, Spark (Legendary) might be making Resident Evil 6.

This was posted a few days ago on Eurogamer, but Gamespots Rumor Control (as always) is slow to catch up. I seriously hope this isn't true, or Resident Evil is truly dead. These guys made the terrible fps games Legendary and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.

Resi died with... no wait Resi is actually still good, screw you guys 5 was great

hope this isnt true

If Retro Studios could make the fantastic Metroid Prime, Spark can make a fantastic Resident Evil 6. Sometimes a "bad" studio can end up making a great game with proper support and budget.

They also made Call of Duty: Finest Hour, which wasn't that bad. But their own IPs have been abysmal. It would be quite hilarious and interesting to see what they could do with RE. They also have some other unannounced game on production that is part of other popular game property. Someone still believes in them. Or they are just cheap labor.

Resi 1 was the only scary one, none of the other ones were scary, especially not 4, rasputin and other dirty farmers running around in broad daylight is not scary

Before Nintendo came into the picture, Retro had no direction and were working on some downright terrible games. If it weren't for Nintendo, Retro would be nothing.

Saying that Capcom would do the same for a developer is laughable though.

What is Capcom doing? Devil May Cry to Ninja Theory (looks good, but I would have preferred DMC5). Now Resident Evil? Why are the palming all their top IPs off to other developers?

they're 'supposedly' making Battlefront 3 as well, aren't they?

Spark has already released 2 abysmal games they considered to be ready for the public. I would consider that much, much worse.

Hey, cut Capcom some slack. All those special editions of their fighters take intensive care and effort developing.

It's better they spend all their time working on their quality forthcoming sequels Hyper Street Fighter IV Arcade Ultra UD Remix, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 2099, and Dead Rising 2: Back on the Record than spend their time working on fourth-rate hack franchises like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man.

Legendary was okay, not awful.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]I'm a bit confused by this, wasn't Metroid Prime Retro's first release? I can't really see how they were bad before Metroid Prime if they hadn't made anything yet.

Spark is not that "indie" and has made incredible bad generic games with very little interest in the actual context of gaming and more interest in making a quick buck. CoD and the RE spin-off are evidence of that.

Honestly, I thought RE5 was good, just not a good horror game. It is fun as hell though. Hopefully this turns out well.

People are overreacting this is just a rumor that holds no value, if anything Spark might have helped in the development process but Capcom has clearly stated the plans they wanted for RE6.

-They wanted it to be atmospheric and scary, back to its roots. RE:Revelations for the 3DS easily proves that they mean business

-Wanted to change a lot of what they did in RE:5, which is great.

-They wanted to somewhat reboot the way the game much like RE4, which is fine imo as long as it still maintains the RE world.

Those sound like promising changes and I think the next RE game will be good having Capcom learn from that dreaded RE5.

I don't care who develops it, just make a real survival horror for once. How long has it been? 9 years?

That's what I said. as a horror game it sucks but as a white knuckle action game it's alot of fun. Mercenaries Mode is ridiculously addictive and honeslty I enjoyed the cheesy story.

Retro Sudios was working on different projects before hand that were all messes and were canceled.

Eh, true, perhaps my analogy isn't the best, but hey I still stand that Spark could make a good Resident Evil game if Capcom gave them enough support and funds.

Well, there is another series to forget about. :P

I seriously got a knot in my stomach when I read that though.

So this is Capcom's new thing? Outsourcing popular IPs to crappy development teams?

Resident Evil: Revelations, the true RE6! ;)

Always willing to give someone another shot.

I will buy it no matter what because I love Resident Evil, and I know I will enjoy it. If I could find enjoyment out of Re5, I'll enjoy RE6, no matter who makes it.

Anyone but Capcom is fine by me. :lol:RyuRanVII
