Screw that. RE6 was such a dam fun game with heaps of content. I'll gladly take more of that. It's high time people accept the direction this series has take for the past 10 years. It would also be a dam shame for the gameplay of RE6 to not feature in another game or be refined even more.

Resi 6 was fun but it was too unfocused and all over the place, they just threw the story out the window and made it up as they went along. Don't lump me in with the haters of the Resi changes, 4 and 5 are awesome but 6 was a fun mess.

I really hope we see RE at E3, and I really hope the rumor that it's XB1 exclusive isn't true, because I fear that I would drop 500 to play the next RE.

I agree. RE6 has one of the best combat systems in any TPS, it would be a shame if they dropped it.

I can't even understand how Capcom could fuck up her design so bad.

RE6 is the only RE game (from the main serie) I just can't finish. I played all of them. RE6 is just so bad. I only played a couple of hours and don't feel like continuing and I already restarted the game a few times. Every time I just quit and don't go back until a few month later just to put it down again.....maybe i'll go back to it again one of these days. I also bought RE4 HD on steam. I already finished RE4 like dozens of times, but i'm still having so much fun and I already finished this game on every platform it has released on in past.
What? She looks almost the exact same in RE6 as she does in RE4. She maybe looks a bit older, but RE6 is nine years later. She changed the least out of any returning character.

Updated the OP.


Matthew Mercer is doing voice work alongside hunnigan.
Leon is one of my favorite video game characters, but I really hope he isn't a lead protagonist again. It'd be better if he were to play a supporting role to a brand new character.

High time my ass. If people don't like what the creators of a franchise is doing to it. They have every damn right to voice that oppinion. Just because you like the direction Capcom are taking RE, doesn't mean it's the right direction. RE6 both sold below expectations and reviewed poorly. Not exactly positive signs

I'd hoped they'd gone with Claire or even Sherry as lead. Feels too soon for Leon, Chris or Jill again after 6 and Revelations. Not complaining though, Leon often also means Ada Wong.
 
Also, next time they need to put an actual tutorial in the game, since most people doesn't seem to know all the stuff you can do in combat. That Prelude was useless.

I don't even know why you would compare it to a CG render which looks different than the realtime in-game model.

yeah i really liked re6. although it felt a tad bit long, and had some areas that felt like filler, it was a great game. plus the other multiplayer modes were great. i hope re6 gameplay style returns.

The story in RE6 wasn't any worse than any other RE game. If anything it was better than a lot of them. Seeing the story from four different views was great.

I thought that was an in-game model, but even in screenshots she look pretty much the same.

Looking at the cast, it's very likely those were recordings for a new resident evil CGI movie.

The only thing that bothers me is the "recurring videogame gig" salli is referring to.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Even if it's a CGI movie, it shows they aren't sitting on the universe after RE6.

Feels like a game announcement is on the horizon, to me.
 
Just STOP it already!!!

The return of Hunnigan means the return of Leon.... like they don't have any other characters but Leon and Chris :\

How about Jill or Claire huh?!

You can make a main RE game with a FEMALE kicka$$ character because you did it before remember?


This really upset me a lot -_-'

Don't be, they're definetly doing voice work for the RE universe but we don't know for what.
Yes, they're referring to "video-games" but it might be a CGI movie for all we know.

Let Claire enjoy her peaceful life taking care of orphans. She shouldn't have to deal with another zombie, bioweapons apocalypse thing. She already survived two games.
No way man, she needs another go around.

Taking care of orphans? Bah, she's Claire Redfield, destroyer of zombies and whiny ex boyfriend BOW's.
 
Nooo, please re-boot and ditch every last bit of the god-awful, fan-servicey, anime/matrixy, bullshit continuity. I don't care about any of these cardboard cutout characters, or what world threatening crisis they are averting this time.

Just give me real people in a scary situation.

(Unless they are doing a game that is as good as 4, and the story is a series parody as well. In which case, continue).

Might be another movie, though I wouldn't be too surprised if she gets cast as a series regular with her role as the tutorial girl. I want sheva.
 
I want to be hyped, especially since this reminds me of Resident Evil 4... but after 5 and 6, I'm convinced whoevers left at capcom has no goddamn idea why re4 was good in the first place.
Even they did make 4-2, they'd probably screw it up completely.
Our only hope is Mikami...

I want a main numbered one... but ok at less we got Jill in revelation but what about Claire :\

Claire is one thing. I'm still wondering if they'll ever do anything with that last plot thread involving Steve, since Wesker took samples from his body, and it seemed like they had plans for him in some way.

But hey, it took this long to bring Sherry back, so I guess it's only a matter of time.
 
How about just a next-gen Mercenaries release.
I don't know.
It'd have to be some kinda uber-release.

-Features every character/villain/monster in RE history
-Multiple styles of play (RE4/RE5, RE6, potential RE7, etc)
-DLC to stay up-to-date
-Full Residentevil.net support for unlockable costumes, maps, etc.

It would be legendary if Capcom could pull it off.

None of it made any sense to me until Adas campaign and I spent most of the game laughing at the dialogue and actions in every cutscene *shrugs*. "Welcome to the club".

For being a civilian, Claire is pretty damn handy with a grenade launcher. She's awesome, but the last time I saw Claire she was chilling with Leon at an airport and she looked like she had moved on from that life. Remember, unlike the other heroes, Claire was the lone civ involved in this whole thing. Everyone else was a soldier, cop, agent, or super powerful bioweapon. It would be weird to see her come back especially when all the characters now have turned into superheroes.

Now, if the series shifted focus and brought her back because RE7 was going to be a more grounded take, I'd be down for that.

And yes, I realize that I'm caring too much about the lore in a series that has pretty much abandoned it (sort of). But still, Claire doesn't look like she would fit into what the series currently is.

Your logic is right, but Capcom pretty much turned her into a super agent with CV's intro. Also in the film you speak of, she catches a handgun in midair and instantly headshots like three zombies. I don't really see her not fitting, but yeah, she'd only be in if the fight came to her, and not globetrotting to hunt BOWs.

Hunnigan origins story?

Mercer is doing voicework too.

RE game or CGI movie.

High-concept: RTS where you play as Hunnigan and have to train and attack Bioterror threats using BSAA agents. Level 3 training unlocks the rocket launcher.
 
I think they should just make two whole different campaigns. One like REbirth, single player only with lots of exploration, backtracking, puzzles and limited inventory managment (and maybe even the ink ribbon system). The other one like modern games, with coop, lots of action, a more refined version of RE6 combat system, and all that stuff.

Everyone would be happy. Maybe.

Interesting news. Actually got me a bit hyped - even if it's just a CG movie. I didn't like Degeneration that much, but Damnation was great, dumb fun, so I'll be happy if they make another one.
Only if they are to include Ada (as they should if Leon's in it), it will be nice if she looks at least a bit similar to herself this time around.

Screw that. RE6 was such a dam fun game with heaps of content. I'll gladly take more of that. It's high time people accept the direction this series has take for the past 10 years. It would also be a dam shame for the gameplay of RE6 to not feature in another game or be refined even more.

This. I really hope RE7 builds upon RE6, only with more consistency and focus this time. And for the love of God, some actual level design.

Or more of Jake/Sherry bro-ops.

And this! I still don't like coop in Resident Evil, but I want to see more of Jake.

I forgot about the John Woo stuff in CV. She does have her action hero moments.

Part of me wonders if Capcom even wants to go back to characters like Claire. RE6 ends with a setup for Jake if I'm not mistaken.

I have both consoles, but to be honest, I'd rather play it on PS4. I prefer the controller and with Sharefactory out now, I just want more games to make videos out of. lol.
