Resident Evil 6: Bro-Splosion Announced, Nov 20 PS3/360, PC Later, PR/Trailer In OP

Shit is too strong of a word. But that trailer is extremely disappointing if you had any hope for the series returning to what it once was. This just embraces all the over the top action that RE4 laid the groundwork for. It also seems to continue to move the series away from being a horror game.



counterpoint: that trailer had everything and the kitchen sink, and showed off plenty of opportunity for horror and RE exploration, along with action.
 
she was a teenager in 4. she'd be in her twenties in this, so that fits.

but the reason i'm not sold on it being Ashley is that from what we've seen of the story it makes zero sense for it to be her running around with super immune scar face guy fighting off stuff with his bare hands.
Well if it was Ashley(which it isn't) then I assume it's because the dude killed or has something to do with the presidents death. Maybe she chases after him for answers or something, if that president is her father.

I saw zombies and scary burning rural towns and I was :D

Then I saw roadie-run and chest-high walls and I was D:

This will probably have the best Mercenaries mode in the entire series if they get Claire and HUNK on the roster.
 
Hunnigan was in that trailer, right

Yeah, she was.

I think the trailer pretty much made clear that Leon will be nothing like the Leon in RE4. Capcom isn't even using the same voice actor.

My biggest fear was that Capcom ruins RE4-Leon, who basically grew into my most favourite game character of all time. I can't believe they really did it.

Well, this just tells me that I finally have to let the series go, which is what I will do after Revelations. Hope the new Call of Duty will be released on the same day and RE6 will drown in it's sales. ... But I am just kidding myself. The name is too big. This game will sell big time.

How is he not? Looks like Leon, kicks people in the face like Leon, does feats of badassery like Leon. I'd say it's RE4 Leon.

We're not even sure of that, we can say that they're trying to release games, period. We don't even know if RE6 is going to be any good. Judging by the trailer, they wanted to give a certain horror atmosphere, but while still appealing to the masses, hence the Leon and Chris separate paths and distinct "feeling".

I see something very similar to RE5 (actually maybe improving certain aspects). Leon's parts probably will have a distinct feel to satisfy the horror fans, but it's going to be more akin to RE5.
 
Well there's $60 I just saved.

How the hell does this series even resemble Resident Evil anymore? Capcom could have swapped Leon and Chris for any other random protagonists and we would be absolutely none the wiser that this has anything to do with the series. Come the fuck on, Capcom. Are you trying to make horror games anymore or movies of the week?

But white people? Terrifying.

Have they've been working on this game the whole time? This year release is a surprising.

Also I hope there isn't Uncharted-like sequences.

Zombified anything is scary, (insert race) with red pupils with torches and pitch forks are just not. Also why do I get the impression they canned the new CG movie and used its script, setting and characters and chopped it into the first half of this game. Would also explain why his clothing looks so similar to Degeneration, I could be wrong (likely am) but given the stark differences it seems possible.

haha the logo of the 6 looks like a woman giving head to a man with a giraff head who is leaning back and holding her head. :D

the woman even has put her hands on her knees.

edit: can. not. unsee!

i swear that i just played a demo of a brand new resident evil game that was more horror than 4 just a few hours ago. i'm pretty sure i didn't imagine it.
 
Looks like a full-on shooter now.

It is. We can safely put it in the Gears of War genre, not the Dead Space genre. I'm sure it'll sell better than any other entry in the series, which is obviously their intention, but they really shouldn't retain any pretensions about what the franchise is about now. The word horror doesn't belong there at all.

Resistance 2 was more frightening than Resident Evil 5.

That looked more awesome than expected. Can't wait to see more.

Hopefully it has Move support, or even Wiimote if it winds up going to Wii U. And hopefully I don't have to babysit an AI partner while playing solo, but have the option of playin with a friend.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

For me the dialogue of RE4 Leon was the best part. He was a perfect combination of nonchalant douche and action hero. RE6 Leon, while we've barely seen anything of him, seems far more serious, but then the whole franchise started taking itself too seriously once Mikami fucked off. I remain hopeful that he gets some quips and tongue-in-cheek stuff to do.

She was already 20 in RE4.

ITT: a lot of people don't understand why RE5 failed. They think they do, but they don't.

This doesn't look anything like RE5 in the ways that matter.

I'll just break it down for everyone:

RE5 didn't suck because it had a lot of shooting. The action was more or less the same as RE4. RE5 sucked because it had zero atmosphere in a series that has been all about atmosphere.

RE5:

- Takes place mostly in daylight
- Has you shooting the same voodoo enemies for most of the game
- Doesn't really have a lot of monsters
- Rips off its biggest set piece from the Uncharted series

Judging by this trailer, RE6:

- Takes place mostly at night
- Has a shit ton of monsters
- Returns to the collapsing urban feel of RE2/3
- Has claustrophobic hallways and much better set pieces than RE5
 
OMG.... they actually announced RE6!!! and it's THIS NOVEMBER :O ?

wow!!

and they brought Zombies back too? THANKS CAPCOM :D

but, there were so much of actions there... and plus I'm scared to death that they will fource co-op upon us again like RE5 -_-"

Went in thinking they would slow it back down and well...We'll see?! I really enjoyed the co-op story mode in RE5, but paying $20 on PSN factored heavily into that enjoyment.

What do you mean what?

Survival horror, solving puzzles, AVOIDING zombies instead of punching them in the face - see how much of that applies to Michael Bay's vision of RE in the trailer shown.

Why do people want this when there are already enough games like it? What is the appeal, I mean seriously, you realise you're cheering for more of the same thing that exists in a form that most developers now aim for, rather than an original experience right?

I thought Racoon City was supposed to be the lame generic action shooter yet this looks about the same.

watch the first minute and fifteen of the trailer again. don't watch any more.

i know this won't satisfy people who want slow paced horror (though, Revelations... mainline RE coming out in two weeks...), but RE6 looks much faster paced and over the top than Gears.

I watched the trailer, then I read the details. I'm okay with this. I was never a fan of Takeuchi's comments about totally reimagining or rebooting the series. I'm glad they decided to delay (or abandon) those plans instead to give fans another me-too entry in the franchise with the characters we love. No, that's not meant to be sarcasm.

Shanghai looks pretty great. Not too keen on Leon's new design so far, but at least he didn't turn into a monster like Chris. So it seems like we'll be seeing Leon, Ashley, Chris, Ada, Rebecca, and not-Wesker in the game at least? Not bad for a start.
 
Game looks idiotic, extremely idiotic and obviously borrows from games everyone is borrowing from...as if RE5 wasn't enough. So it also looks generic. It's a thing of beauty, watching this giant meta game be created when every dev out there slowly meets in the middle of the room, offering absolutely nothing and yet borrowing everything.

But hey, it's "epic" right? So, it's good. Epic. Good. Epic. Good.
 
No Bomber Jacket-Leon? Pre-order canceled Crapcom.


He lost it in 4. What, do you want them to sully the sacred RE4 canon?

if they had a bomber jacket in there, this thread would be 100 pages of "how did he get the bomber jacket back?" and "did they just completely forget about RE4?"

and then the game would go on to sell 0 copies.
 
For me the dialogue of RE4 Leon was the best part. He was a perfect combination of nonchalant douche and action hero. RE6 Leon, while we've barely seen anything of him, seems far more serious, but then the whole franchise started taking itself too seriously once Mikami fucked off.

Well to be fair, he was about to have to shoot a man he considered a close friend. That would put the "srs bizness" face on just about anybody; I doubt even a eternal wiseass like Nate Drake would be lighthearted in that scenario.

Wow, that looked BAD. It's everything everyone doesn't want RE to be. Who was that generic looking guy? Why all the explosions? Why does it look like Gears of War? Did all the negatve feedback on RE5 mean nothing? Well, I'm passing this one up, that's for sure.
