Resident Evil 4 Jun Takeuchi - "Biohazard 4's appeal was limited"

[Sunglasses]

In what looks to me could be a defining statement by Jun Takeuchi, producer of Resident Evil 5, told Kotaku that in his opinion..and I quote

Biohazard 4 was "....a great game, (but) its appeal was limited somewhat to maniac players" , where " With Re 5, I wanted to bring the series to a larger audience, I think its important to do the same for the next RE."

Wait, last time I sawBiohazard 4 with all its platforms sold in fact more than Biohazard 5 not by much but it di, and that's not including the cell phone version.

Oh, and looking at metacritic and gamerankings, Re 4 scored a heck of a alot higher then Re 5 did overall..in fact it is billed as one of the best agmes of all time, on quite a few top ten charts, and Edge magazine even scored it as the number 3 game of all time, Resident Evil 5 is not.

Im not taking away anything Biohazard 5 did, just saying that Takeuchi is street rat crazy if he truly thinks Biohazard 4 had limited appeal, this statement unless mistranslated in some way makes absolutely no sense. If anything, Biohazard 4 was the one that appealed and opened up the market for capcom to make a killing fof Re5.

Re5 had limted appeal... at least in re4 you went to the 1800`s then the medeival times... then we went to NEW GANADO-TRAZ.

What???!!

RE4 created a whole BOOM of RE fans all over again. I know many that have played RE4 constantly but not the originals, so how can it only be for maniac players?!

RE5 was NOT real RE in my opinion. They need to get this fixed!

RE needs to bring back its appeal to the FANS, because they're the ones keeping this thing going.

i think they need to get Jun Takeuchi of the project because hes trying to bring more noobs in. and resi 4 got me back into the game.

well both appealed it could just be people who played re4 built up re5's hype
another reason could be the addition of co-op ( which was pretty sweet) as to why it sold more
i liked resident evil 4 though better because i thought it had better atmosphere it was very new at the time, i think alot of people think resident evil 4 is better

I think that man should resign ASAP. He is not in touch with the RE "society". :mellow:

but what if he meshes resident evil, madden, halo, mario, tetris, pokemon, nintendogs, wii sports, metal gear solid, gran turismo, and grand theft auto together and made the super seller of the century :lol:
