Resi 5 was released in 2009, that's a 3 year hiatus, one could argue that they've already had a few years off and should have done better this time around. I downloaded and played the demo and didn't enjoy it at all. It seems they're aligning the series akin to a similar experience with watching the godawful movies, which is an absolute travesty. In the probable event that 6 sells by the fuck-ton (and who are we kidding; it will) then I can't see Capcom reverting back to the old formula. Regardless, I'm fairly tired of the story now anyway, so I would be more than happy to see another developer bring a similar new IP to the table which has an all new premise which doesn't rely on fucking zombies again. I would love to see something a bit more psychological in the vein of Jacob's Ladder as a game, Silent Hill had a vibe of this nature but that series has become tired too. I think my general point is developers need to start realising when to quit while ahead and start producing fresh survival horror stories rather than regurgitating the same old scenarios.
