New Resident Evil 6 Info: Splitscreen, Co-Op/Online Info, Run/Fire, Demo, Ash/Sherry?

I'm eager to see more details on how the weapon system will work and how the episodes are going to be broken down.

Since we know there are 3 separate scenarios, I have to wonder how the weapons will be handled. 4 and 5 had an addictive upgrade and buy/sell system in place because you would play as the same characters for the whole game. So far we also have the info that you can play the scenarios in any order(that could change eventually though) so that could imply that you can't carry your stuff between them or else you would break the game's balance.

I would also like more info on the length of the 3 episodes. If they are short, how are they going to be broken down? In chapters like 4 and 5? Can they handle an upgrade system if the episodes are short?

I'm not a fan of the bit sized chapters of 5. It really limited the exploration of the areas as the y were short, small and self-contained. You never went back to the place you visisted. If the scenarios are short maybe they won't be broken down in much smaller chapters and it could leave room to more freedom and exploration.

I have some hope for Leon's scenario but I pretty much gave up on Chris' as soon as I saw the tank and the squad.

Aw, I kinda liked Ashley and it would be cool to see her in a different role. Although I suppose it would be odd for the President's daughter to become a super agent.

Im excited for both, hope the changes they make, make the Chris sections just as awesome as the Leon sections.

It would be cool if they segemented off the weapon types. Given the different locals, like if Leon had Pistol's, Shot Guns and Chris had Machine guns to further add really different feel to the characters.

Awesome news about being able to move and shoot. :) But the thought of playing with an AI by my side the whole game again like RE5 does nothing for me. :(

Why do some people seem down that some characters look a little more mature? Someone disappointed because Sherry looks 30? Leon in his mid 30's? Isn't Chris 40? I'm speaking for myself but I like seeing characters my age kicking ass onscreen. *shrug*

I was kinda pissed when Capcom seemed to decide that Ryu no longer aged.

Thing I've been happy about most is how they have aged some of their characters. Chris, Leon, Dante have all became even better for me as I've seen them get older.

great updates... it definitely looks as if they have learned from their competitors (dead space)

ultimately... the pace of this game will determine if it's a action adventure or a survival horror title.

either way... day one.

No, but the GOTY/Gold Edition released in 2013 will
Even though my opinion of how this game looks is not very good, I still hope Capcom will finally learn how to release these things on PC with this one.

bish gets all the credit :)

Nice additional information. The timeline thing is still fucking awful though. 2013 is fine but to still say 10 years after Raccoon City? Unless the multiple campaigns do not take place at the same time?

Still. GDI Capcom.
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So this game has 3 playable teams (Chris/???, Leon/Helena, and ???/Ashrry) and they take place around the world, right?

From the trailer, it seems like ???/Ashrry are in... Russia?

They are also in Shanghai at the end of the trailer. They are on the bike.
 
do we know if there will be mandatory AI co-op in this game? i have no interest in having another resident evil 5 experience so i hope capcom doesn't pull that shit again
 
It's awesome they finally are blowing the doors off, having large-scale infection events all happening (presumably) at once. It's funny it took this long to get to this point, actually.

Co-op options sound awesome. I really look forward to killing zombies in 6 player with friends. I'm guessing that'll be Mercs. I would be surprised if the campaign went above 2.

coop with players or AI is fine with me. in terms of story it makes sense cuz in RE5, they explain that it's better to have a partner to always help you out. i know it sucks in horror games, but it just makes more SENSE. i didn't have any issues playing RE5 solo with AI Sheva during my sessions so i may be biased about it. i played some with players just to see what it was like and it was an alright experience.

sounds like this is a really big game from Capcom. hope the final product lives up to the trailer.

who are this imaginary people you're reffering too

Unfortunately, my post history doesn't go back that far. However, I find your insinuation that I'm lying to be both humorous and naive - why is it surprising that some Resident Evil fans would be resistant to a long-running series changing one of its oldest staple elements? It's actually a fair concern on the surface, but one that ultimately has no validity in practice, as the only instance in which it could hold true is if Capcom changed to a move-and-shoot control system, yet didn't also alter the fundamental design of enemy encounters.
 
Dammit... I want to be able to play a RE game ALONE!!!!!

Make the co-op an option, why fourcing it on the old fans who doesn't want it?

And btw... 2013 and 10 years won't work out, dear god did they even played the old RE games?!!!?

1 for Amazon, 1 for Best Buy and 1 for Gamestop? Splitting the user base with 3 maps cut out sounds awesome. Then again, maybe it's like COD even with 6 maps out for map packs, there are still 8~10 out of the box.

or wait for Gold edition with all DLC included.
 
I need Ada confirmed to be at max hype, dont leave her out capcom :(

IGN said that once you beat Chris, leon and New Guy's scenario you unlock Ada's scenario. Since they had a mass info dump prior to the trailer releasing and they were completely spot on. I'd be inclined to believe that Ada is in the game.
