RE6 dev: "I don't think we're losing horror, just because we keep action in RE6"

Some – including our very own Lewis Denby in the aftermath of its E3 2012 trailer reveal – believe that the Resident Evil series has strayed far more into action territory than its survival horror roots, but Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, producer on the upcoming Resident Evil 6, believes it’s possible to balance the two.

Noting that RE6s four different campaign threads are designed to highlight varying horror experiences, Hirabayashi asks: “Why do you think horror games and action games are mutually exclusive?”

“That’s the very same issue that we, on the dev side, were wrestling with when making this game. And so our answer to that is, okay, you don’t make the player feel completely powerful. And one of the ways you do that is you can give them a powerful weapon, but what if you limit the amount of ammo they have? So now it becomes a choice of when you use this ammo.”

“So while there’s still action, I don’t think we’re losing the horror, just because we keep action in the game.”

the zombies and creature-men seems pretty horror-like to me. No explanation needed really.

I can understand the dev's point of view on this, I always got desperate and scared when I ran out of ammo, I would always had to act fast. Makes things really fun!

if you find RE5 and RE6 to be scary you must also think Hello Kitty is scary



wanna play a real scary game? Fatal Frame and Amnesia - those are scary games, not RE5/6.

Horror...can be defined in several ways, don't always have to be make you jump out of your pants.

When I think horror, I think exactly that. Intense fear or shock. I don't think "oh look..that's kinda cute". Yes, that's an exaggeration, but you get what I mean.

Ugh.. The utter cluelessness of this guy is mind boggling. Way to not realize you're completely losing the survival aspect of the game, the entire genre of the series.

You can be killed by these monsters, correct? You are fighting to.....survive, right?
