Puzzles

We're not going to claim that the puzzles in the original few Resi games were actually tricky, but you at least felt like you were doing something that required more brain power than aiming a shotgun at a zombie's head. More recent games have almost rid the series of this element completely, so we want Capcom to bring them back. Hopefully Resi 6 will be a slower, more mysterious game, so a few mind-benders would certainly break up the nerve-racking gameplay to a tee. Going on current trends there'll probably be the option to have the solution handed to you on a plate, but we'd hope that doing so would seriously reduce your rank for that chapter.

More gruesome deaths please

We might well be a bit wrong in the head, but when the lead character dies in a Resident Evil game we want to see it play out in all its glory. In Resi 2 you saw the zombies eating you if you failed to take them out and in Resi 4 the chainsaw guy would cut your head clean off and leave your bloody corpse on the ground. For some reason the deaths in Resident Evil 5 were sanitised, with any extreme gore playing out off camera. This is Resident Evil, one of the bloodiest, nastiest gaming experiences around, so if we get eaten by a giant mutated man, we damn well want to see what it looks like.
