NP. An animated series might be good, only if they did it right. They'd have to base it closely on the games.
Could be
very cool actually, but it would have to proper full blown manga, all the other decent animation houses are geared towards kids and that would kill RE. And I don't agree with Max about animated zombies either... I'm not an animation fan but it could and should be done brilliantly (especially if its manga. Imagine shots like wide-angled, low ground typical manga shot, blurred background, and then a single zombie stuttering and limbing along, smooth camera pan to behind XVZ-american-homebred-hero, unblur and there's hundreds of the buggers~). Stylistically, brilliant, budget is very low, and it would allow Capcom's original artists (who do all the best shit RE anyway) with a lot of input to a Manga crew. That would be the 'media outing' from games for the evil crew.
The more gorey and atmospheric, the better for RE imo... and Paul Anderson f*cked both bits up to varying degrees, which is probably why the movie stinks (strong but talking about coulds and maybe shoulds atm
).
A stronger director would have given away control to a decent scriptwriter.. (Terry Gilliam comments the reason why director's don't want to let go of their projects in Brazil's commentry, they want total control over the project and unfortunately that leads to poor dialogue in some cases (ahem, Jimmy Cameron, you taking notes?), lack of or poor ideas in others (Mr. Anderson is in the latter category imo). Or if it was a stronger writer/director then it would have worked better too... but that RE movie is just too cheap, despite its budget*.
Technically though, I think Paul Anderson is a solid director, and given the right project he can do it quite well...see Even Horizon. Great film.
This is why I'm looking forward to and dreading AvP. I have this feeling that the script is going to flat out stink... we're talking full-on, Josh Whedon-stle stink!
*ps. Death to CGI.... in the words of a famous advert: "sshhhttoooppp.... itshhh not rheady yet!"
in resident evil Survivor theres a big room filled wall to wall with tyrants in cases, naturally one breaks out to come and rape yo ass n shit while the 2 kids you found on the island are trying to start the helicoptay, the storyline wasnt as good as other res evil games but for a light gun shooter it was way above the rest (and thats saying something as it looks like the work experience boy made it) altho no matter how many times i fired the grenade launcher at the little kids you just cant kill them 
) gouges his own eyes, but on a whole i thought event horizon was nothing i hadnt seen before and was way over hyped (that could be down to the fact one of my friends didnt stop goin on about it from the day it was released in the cinema right to the day it was released on video)
