I would rather eat the shit that came out of my ass than play this game again.

But I am curious to see the tweaks they made, if this is true anyway.

lol yup. To this day, RE6 continues to be the only mainline RE game I haven't been able to finish.

 

[Black Soma]

Ada's campaign is fun, and though the co-op is dumb I'm happy they added it in (Ada's imaginary friend, Agent, can't interact with puzzles and appears and disappears like a phantom). Ada's campaign actually has the same problem Leon's campaign has where the first halves are fine, but the second halves fall apart (the opposite of Jake and Chris's campaigns, in my opinion). Though playing through Ada's campaign may have been worth it for me for that one boss fight she has exclusive to herself.

I love that boss' design. I also liked Leon's final boss, reminded me of

from SMT series.

 

[Sadist]

I absolutely wouldn't change a thing about the game, but I do sometimes wonder what the game would be like if that massive budget and team were focused on a 20-hour/2 campaign game as opposed to a 40-hour/4 campaign game, with better visuals and stronger pacing. I honestly don't think I could sacrifice any of them though, they're all awesome.

Hehe, I guess we wouldn't agree on that I would sacrifice it inmediately if it would mean getting a "better" game.

But seeing so many here loving RE6 I won't say it out loud too much hehe.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Resident evil 6 has my favorite combat system
anyone who does not recognize any of the moves in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYXXPc1zz6M
clearly did not know how to play the game or played it and only beat the game on normal
(normal= super easy joke mode!) honestly no hope mode is consider "hard" imo.
Great Game,day one, would replay it again.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Never played it, heard the only good thing about this game are the combat mechanics.

 

[Golgo 13]

Fine by me, might get a rental, but I hope it's got any DLC (was there any?) and includes 5 or another equally worthwhile bonus.

I enjoyed RE6 more than most, especially Wesker's part escaping from the hospital. It was like an interactive Kung Fu movie.

 

[Grisby]

Leon should have gotten wrecked.

It really depends what you're going for in Mercs, if you're going for high scores then it is easily the worst Mercs yet due to needing counter damn near everything and holding secret bosses til last kill.

RE5 Mercs was much better, though the constant melee in that for high scores was annoying too, but still, just melee is better than countering, plus could ground melee if knocked enemies over.

Kind of wish they would get rid of the time bonus for melee kills and just let people play how they like while going for high scores. Or have two Mercs modes, finite time with unlimited enemies, and limited time with bonus for melee kills, with an enemy limit.

I didn't play much of RE5 mercs, but I liked the added meele and counter stuff.

Not gonna pretend to be an expert at it, but the mode allowed 6's core mechanics to shine.

 

[Sojgat]

Never played it, heard the only good thing about this game are the mechanics.

Not really true.

The multiple SP campaigns are quite long, but very uneven. There is a lot of great stuff, but it's spread out across all of them, and what's left over is either mediocre or straight up bad. It's kind of like Capcom made three games, only one of them was good, but they included all of them anyway.

Fantastic game if you learn the mechanics and can overlook some weird/bad design choices.

I was like 0_0 Wesker in a hospital scene? I had totally forgot about it.

I played through all of RE6 and enjoyed it for the most part. I just wish the characters weren't so fast moving (it's not like there's any level that allows you to dash for extended periods of time); if only they had the weight and feel as MGSV...

Might pick this up and help my GF beat it - given that it allows us to transfer the save files from the old versions.

 

[Stallion Dan]

It's true, RE6 breaks the value for money bank. Any other company (including Capcom itself at one point) would have left Ada's campaign on the drawing board for future DLC until the game had shipped, but no, it's right there, ready to play. After playing through the first three campaigns, which was amazing, I thought that was it. Then I'm offered what I assumed was a one-off cool-looking Ada mission, which turns out to be just one chapter in an entire new campaign, with some of the best chapters in the game. I couldn't believe it.

Well the story was not complete, so of course they not gonna sell it as DLC, besides after the shitshow that was the other three campaigns, ain't nobody paying for that.

What people did like was Mercs, and of course the game shipped with only three maps, compared to RE5 shipping with 10. The other 6 maps were DLC.

And the multiplayer cost extra for each mode. Who the hell charges for ANY multiplayer?

Capcom knew best where to attempt milking of the fanbase.

Yeah, that was my favorite part.

I may be mistaken (it's been near release since I've played), it may be Wesker's son you play as in that part (Jake) but regardless he's pretty much Wesker anyway, so yeah

[Zero-ELEC]

I find it hard to grasp people liking Leon's campaign more than the others. It's full of intrusive scripted sequences and QTEs. My least favourite campaign by far.

[DR2K]

I liked Resident Evil 6. I played through all campaigns. Where was Jill?

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Thanks to this thread I just replayed Sherry's chapter 1. To sum up how over-the-top this game is: you start the chapter by shooting your way through an army of J'avos while a BSAA helicopter is shooting at you; then you have to run from Ustanak and, later, fight against it in a two-story room with collapsing walls (and if you just start the game, meaning you only have a pistol and Elephant Shooter, so you have to think tactically and utilize explosive barrels in the room wisely); few minutes later you have a joined fight with Chris and Piers (if you're lucky, those two might be controlled by another two gamers and not just AI) against two Ogromen and a bunch of J'avo (this time the stage has three levels: ground level, underground and top floors of ruined buildings; on each level you can be an easy target for the boss); after the fight is done and you think you're safe in your little helicopter, going back home, Ustanak attacks again and you have to fight for your life while the helicopter is burning and is about to explode. All this within just 1 hour, in the first chapter.

I just want to throw out there, I think the chronological order is the best way to play the game (yes, I made the chronological order list since I got RE6 early and after completing it thought the game might work better in that format than going straight-through each campaign, but I've played it that way in all replays and it honestly is the best way to play the game).

Yes, the chronological order is the best one. Thanks to that you don't get too bored by Leon's constant scripted set pieces full of QTE, Chris' scenario's shoot-bang and Sherry's campaign's gimmicks. That way you can have much more balanced campaign.

Who the hell charges for ANY multiplayer?

Microsoft and Sony. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As someone who loved 5, would I like 6? The demo did nothing for me.

6 has Chris, so yes.

But on a serious note, RE6 is RE5 on steroids. While RE5 still pretended it's a survivor horror, RE6 throws that out of the window and instead admits that it's a pure over the top action game with horror themes (just see my description of Sherry's first chapter at the top of this post). It ends with tank controls and instead gives you full control over your characters and focuses even more on melee combat.

It lacks polish and set pieces varies from god-awful to god-awesome. It's one of those games that you either love despite its weakness or hate as nothing before.

Ok cool. Might just skip.

Yeah, 5 was survival horror enough for me to still see it as such. I think I'll skip 6.

Yup, that's pretty much my reasoning for preferring 6 over 5 as well.

I'm not embarassed to say that, that fuckign section was fucking creepy. The stalking, the "Adaaaaaa.....", the HAND GRABS omg.

I loved RE6 but... why.

This is so pointless.

Well now we have confirmation about where we are regarding remasters/remakes

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Yuck.

This is the resident evil that killed my love for the series, worst resident evil imo, not buying 7 until I can watch a bit on twitch/YouTube

Good for those who like it though

Did you try Revelations 2? It's great. Much better than 6 imo.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Did you try Revelations 2? It's great. Much better than 6 imo.

Honestly, I've been very curious about it. I know it's been received well by critics and fans but when REmake came out I was playing that mostly.

Also, I was so bummed out by RE6 that I purposely let it slide thinking after 6 the series was dead to me... How does it play?

 

[Lettuce]

RE6 was alot of game, took ages to complete it fully!

 

[novablue]

That's awesome, nice move Cappy. I wonder if Ono will direct us to a certain console?

 

[Mr. Giggles]

No its not haha. I fell for that exact line. Bought it one day, traded it in the next.

Wow, what was wrong with it?

if it's worse than 6, you're saving me money

 

[Loading]

6 was the biggest gaming disappointment I have ever had, remastering this title is a waste of development time.

Come on Capcom give me a new game

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Its just as bad. The cruel joke is I love the series upto 4, but thought 4 should have been a spin off but my friend Michael loves this action stuff so much. So he loved 5 and 6. Ironically I liked ORC and he didn't.

Basically think the Last of Us but co-op. One person who can fight and defend themselves, another who can basically use a torch and is dependant on the other person. Theres two possible endings I know of, the story is absolute shite revolving a lot about Barry Burton and his daughter. Theres another Wesker apart from Jake, its Tekken 6 all fucking over again.

Raid mode is... Boring. Its just not great. But hey, you might like it. Why not watch a stream of chapter one. I beat the story in a day and then got rid. Honestly to say I loved the story and lore upto 4, its like only the shittest script writer and story designer were available out of all possible employees. You know like when you've hired all the good doctors in Theme Hospital and you start looking through the shit ones because its all thats left and your hospital needs more GP's??

Damn, ok I'll watch some of it on YouTube and go from there.

Though what you've written, I feel I would hate it as much as I hated 6

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Wow, what was wrong with it?

It wouldn't call it bad, but as with all recent RE games, it depends on what you expect from a RE game.

It's something like a low-budget but more serious RE4 with asynchronous co-op. Depending on chapter, you can play either as Claire/Barry - your ordinary RE character that can do anything a normal RE character can do, or Moira/Natalia - a secondary character who has other abilities: Moira can use flashlight (can be used in combat to blind enemies; outside of combat it is used to look for hidden objects) and crowbar (aside from opening doors and crates, you can use it in combat), while Natalia - as she's just a child - can only throw bricks at enemies, but can also access places Barry can't go and due to her special abilities can sense nearby enemies.

The combat is more simplified than RE5 and RE6, but due to the secondary character (you can either play in local co-op or switch between characters) it requires more tactic. For example in Claire's scenario, in order to save some ammo, you usually want to blind the enemy with a flashlight (Moira), kick it (Claire) and then finish it off with a crowbar (Moira again). And you want to save your ammo since the game isn't as generous with resources as it is in other recent RE games.

Levels are usually linear (but unlike RE5 and 6, you get the feeling of traversing through the environment instead of moving from stage to stage), with some backtracking here and there. There aren't much puzzles in the game (there are few in episode 3 IIRC) and resources are pretty scarce. Base enemies (afflicted) are rather boring, but there are some pretty cool and creepy enemies too (e.g. revenants).

Story is... so, so. Interesting (especially cliffhangers after each episode) but the idea might be executed better.

It's definitely nothing like RE6. I would rather call it RE5 from an alternate universe, where Capcom still wanted to build a co-op game with RE4 as its base, but instead of turning the action and camp all the way up, it went into more serious (well, RE idea of seriousness) and horror-themed route.

If you have PS4 or Xbox One, the first episode is currently available for free so you can try it.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

It would be a shame if the combat system for RE6 was not further improved and utilize for other games, there's no other game in the world quite like it.

 

[chemicals]

Lol. These re-release threads are always funny to me because a bunch of guys will be like "day one! Been waiting to play this!" um.. It came out like 876 years ago why are you still waiting?

 

[Gunslinger]

I really hope this doesn't do well imo while re0 does as good as part 1 hd. That way Capcom will get the message and discard making re games with the re4 style. Re4 was a garbage re game and part 5 and 6 is no different. IMO ofcourse.

You know that 4,5 and 6 sold the most of the RE games right?

the real comedy is that he thinks capcom will learn anything ever instead of wandering aimlessly while seeking the chance to pour everything into the mobile sector

Nah to me they are terrible re games. And should not be accepted as main line games. To me the main series ended with veronica. IMO ofcourse.

 

[Gunslinger]

Obviously man...that's why no real DC 3 exist, no megaman, no real DMC sequel. Only good thing Capcom release now is SF. IMO ofcourse.

 

[spazchicken]

Alright. I hope it's true.

Day 1.

Loved RE6.

I'm ready as fuck. This is one of the remasters I've been waiting for.

Never beat it on 360, would love a current gen version.

The game doesn't have much replay value outside of mercenaries ,but I'd still get it.

For some reason it has a weird sentimental value to me.The soundtrack is great and the characters can be endearing.

But its a messy game.

Wait what site is this and where is the GAF I kno...

I would rather eat the shit that came out of my ass than play this game again.

But I am curious to see the tweaks they made, if this is true anyway.

Ok, I was worried for a moment.

All jokes aside, I really liked RE6 and saw nothing wrong with it but I do understand the "it was mostly action over horror" complaints. The game was over 40 hours long and the stories intertwined in that traditional RE2 way but on a way bigger scale. I loved that.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Nah to me they are terrible re games. And should not bexceed main line games. To me the main series ended with veronica. IMO ofcourse.

Yeah but your idea of Capcom getting the message is base on sales, so that's the flaw in your plan because 4,5 and 6 sold millions and would continue to sell adequate numbers.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

You know just adding "IMO ofcourse." to the end of your sentences doesn't make what you post less silly or dismissive, right? Like someone tells you RE6, 5 and 4 sold more and you go "Nah (...) they are terrible re games." That's... not how sales work? Just because, to you, they're horrible games (IYO ofcourse) doesn't negate the sales of those games.

Also, chances are RE0master won't make as much money as RE0master given that RE0 is generally speaking considered to not be as good as REmake. And even then REmaster didn't sell nearly as well as people say it did. It was Capcom's "fastest selling digital title", not their best selling digital title. It has actually sold less released on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC combined (~1,100,000 copies including digital) than it did on the GameCube (~1,350,000 copies). Of course, the GameCube is lifetime sales, and the others are still selling at this moment, but that's still something.

Like, I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, if you like only the first 3 games and others in their style, more power to you! But saying RE4 and 5 and 6 are "garbage" and "should not be accepted as main line games" and that you hope "Capcom will get the message"? That's a bit ridiculous.

I mean, what message are they gonna get? That people buy more of their action oriented RE games than the slower paced ones? That there is a very vocal minority that hates the new ones? Believe me, they know. They get it. That's why we're getting RE2make, because people ask for it a lot, and it's a good game and maybe it will make that minority happy, alongside making the rest happy by giving them a really good game! But since, historically, "modern" (misnomer, actually, there's been a fairly natural evolution in the way the games play that I can't say where the cut-off point for the "modern" games are) RE games sell a lot more they're gonna keep making and releasing them. And chances are, they're going to be fine. They're probably going to be more polished than 6, at least, which is really all we can hope for.

 

[HeelPower]

Damn, ok I'll watch some of it on YouTube and go from there.

Though what you've written, I feel I would hate it as much as I hated 6

No he's wrong.Revelations 2 is by far one of the best entries in the entire series.

The game is appropriately paced to never get boring and has more exploration and better level design than 5 and 6 combined.

It has also explores really neat SP ideas when you use two characters at once in fun and imaginative ways.

Its a great game and capcom over delivered for such a budget title.60 FPS is a plus on PS4.

 

[SephLuis]

Well the story was not complete, so of course they not gonna sell it as DLC,

They did that for Asura's Wrath =P

Just saying

Spoiler

And it was worth every cent I payed for it

Not gonna pretend to be an expert at it, but the mode allowed 6's core mechanics to shine.

I like RE6, but it's a weird game. It's experimenting with a ton of things and see what sticks.

Leon's campaign tries to go back to the older RE type of game. Basically slower zombies and a lot of them.

Chris campaign is the action one. Straight out from RE4/RE5 type of gameplay.

Jack (I guess that was his name) is the oddest one with more melee elements, open world and other types of gameplay mixed in.

My guess is that RE7 will be build into what worked from RE6, hopefully making it a much more enjoyable and concise game.

I wouldn't dare call it one of the best in the series, not by a long shot, but it was better than anything that came after 4, for sure.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Got it on Steam a few weeks ago and it's just too fast paced. Lion's campaign is not bad but the game is just all over the place.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Revelations 1 and 2 are for a different set of fans. You can tell a lot by the debates they bring up. That's not to say you can't like all of the RE games. I like basically all of them. However I will easily put 4, 5, and 6 higher than Revelations 2 or 1. Since those things you put as positives like exploration and such are too me negatives. I much prefer the pace and style of the newer action games. Still it's nice to have variety though.

 

[Neff]

I'd say Revelations 2 is a massive improvement on Revelations 1, to the point where I like R2 a lot, but would consider R1 easily the worst mainline RE title. R2 probably has the best co-op the series has ever enjoyed, too.

However I will easily put 4, 5, and 6 higher than Revelations 2 or 1.

Agreed.
