With less than a month for E3 2010 to start, Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto commented on the company's decision to outsource established franchises to western developers for sequels and ports only, instead of allowing them develop new IPs. This is a result of the dissapointing performances of Bionic Commando and Dark Void, both titles developed outside the japanese studios.

On May 17th, Garnett Lee (GameFly's editorial director) commented on his podcast that Capcom will announce during E3 a sequel "bombshell" which is being outsourced to a western developer. Could the next Biohazard title be it? After Jun Takeuchi's comments from a few weeks ago, it doesn't seem unlikely at all.

I sure hope it's a new Biohazard. Even showing first details on Biohazard Portable will suffice.

If it's Resident Evil...

Would Resident Evil 6 be a bombshell? Nah. Would a new Outbreak be a bombshell? You betcha.

If this is RE6, I will be disappointed but also exited. Disappointed because I'd rather something like Haunting Ground 2 or Outbreak 3, and I'm kinda sick of bland new RE titles coming out now, and exited because a western dev could really fix RE up hopefully.

I'm not sure if I want RE6 to be developed by an external developer. But who knows, it may actually turn out to be really good (or really bad). Hoping for the best if that's it. Portable might fit too, since we've know nothing since last year.

Another possibility is DMC5 and that franchise they are bringing back with Natal support, though I'm not sure if they'd use the word 'bombshell' for a game supporting the device and Capcom usually makes big announcements on multiplatform games.

Technically Devil May Cry 5 wouldn't be an announcement because people already know it exists. I doubt it will be a new Resident Evil though after all the talk of there not being an RE sequel for 8 years. I hope I'm wrong, although it's hard to get excited about RE now after RE5.

Not really, since people speculated its existence and was mentioned in a rumour section in Game Informer. Capcom hasn't officially made an announcement yet. Given that the so-called bombshell comment was made in regards to outsourcing, that makes a lot of sense... sadly :frown:

Hopefully that will never apply to RE, ever. The whole talk of Japanese design stigma and how western developers are great, recently spoken by none other than Takeuchi, is becoming pretty damn f'n tiresome.
