Cliff Bleszinski to Capcom – “We can fix Resident Evil. Together.”

I love to be scared - the anxiety, the adrenaline. Whether its being enveloped by a good book, teetering on the edge of my seat in the theatre or plunging head-first into the world of survival horror, I want to be there.

Through his Twitter account, Cliff Bleszinski called out to Capcom, “Hey Capcom.  Call me.  We can fix Resident Evil.  Together.”

Since his recent departure from Epic Games after a 20 year stint with the company, Bleszinski has visited the offices of Activision, Zynga, Double Fine and Electronic Arts.  Citing a much needed break, it’s unclear where the man behind games like Gears of War will be headed next.  Could that next stint of his career be with Capcom?

Judging by some of the games Bleszinski has put his name to (not that there’s anything wrong with any of those games), it’s clear that he would be better attuned to perfecting where the series is headed, not where the series has been.  In other words, he could make Resident Evil a better action game.  The man knows how to make a good action game is what I’m trying to get at here.

    Not sure his idea of “fixing” Resident Evil is in tune with what most fans want, but if it means a good action game as opposed to a terrible one, I say go for it.

    Considering the only Resident Evil game he likes is part 4, i’d say no. No thank you Cliff, stick to screwing up our gaming generation through your own awful creations.

    wow thats the most insulting this ive ever heard. he basically put down the whole RE team like he’s the gaming god. sure, he can create good playing games, but they totally lack emotional storytelling, plot, substance, empathy etc. basically hes creates the transformers of video games. good luck with that cliff. resident evil, now with more dude bro love

    He’s a fantastic game maker, but I’ve never liked how clunky his games feel, and the aiming never feels very good. Overall, unplayable for me. Tons of people love them, but they don’t work well for me.
    So no thanks, buddy!

    Fixing it isn’t making it more of an action game.

    This is the guy who homage the Garrador in the Berseker monster, no Cliff, we’re good without you.

    I’d rather douche with Tabasco sauce and thumb tacks than have him “fixing” Resident Evil. Thanks though. I recommend door number 2, where you get run through with a rusted spoon, Cliff.

    He doesn’t realize that its because of Gears of War that Resident evil is so BROKE!

    I think he was just joking around and everybody took him too seriously.

  • Estelvea

    Resident Evil doesn’t need fixing.

    Fuck it, Resident Evil needs fixing. Go Cliff!

    LOL the guy really thinks he’s the guru of gaming just because he made a generic shooter that happened to be successful. He doesn’t seem to realize that GOW’s success is in part the reason why RE and many other franchises are becoming generic shooters. How ironic.

    i like the gameplay changes from re5-re6, but not the campaign style, only 3 mercs maps, the horrible difference from online mode to splitscreen. Anyhow, i think capcom is doing fine in making the resident evil series generic fun (even though they are ruining what makes resident evil RESIDENT EVIL)

    Cliff however, made gears of war 1, as a new game, a badass game. Then gears of war 2, to me, made gears of war 1 look like crap. BUT, then we have gears of war 3, which ruined everything that made me play gears of war 2 as religiously as i did re5 mercs. Also tacking on “dedicated servers” on every GoW3 advertisement trailer, then forcing people to buy DLC to continue playing on those servers was BS.

    So no, Cliff, whatever ideas you could possibly have for RE would ruin it, no make it better. The only way to make resident evil better, is to add more resident evil to it, and less CoD and less GoW.
