Made this some time ago, I guess it fits here.

Brad has been playing it and he even was into RE5 (like me) so it should be interesting. I don't know though if they will the review ready as soon as the embargo ends.

Would guess they will hold it back until tomorrow so it hits with the podcast.

But on the other hand he hated Revelations which was a pretty damn good Resident Evil game.
 
Resident Evil 6 is far superior to Revelations. I'm really sorry to say this, as I loved Revelations, but Resident Evil 6 just does so many things so much better.

Especially Leon's campaign (when comparing to Revelations)

Could you give some examples? What are we talking here: Mechanics, presentation, story?

are you liking the game? i look forward to your final impressions :)

Hated the DD demo, liked the TGS demo. Definitely need to play the entire game to pass judgment, but it's the first RE I've been negative about prior to release. I was most positive about RE4, in the meantime.

Sheeeiiiitt..... So Joerg (4players) really pulled it off. Glad he's back. His reviews tend to be unforgiving but when the hype settles they're almost always spot on. Will never forgive him the MGS4 review though.

Quantum Theory (PS3/360) – 8/8/8/7
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3/360) - 10/9/10/10
Demon's Souls (PS3/360) - 9/7/7/6
Street Fighter x Tekken (PS3) - 9/8/9/9
Blades of Time (PS3/360): 8/8/8/8
Dragon Age II (PS3/360): 8/9/9/8

Man I didn't realize how erratic Famitsu was anymore. A 39 or 40 used to mean something.

And lol @ Kaz trolling.

It got an 80% from OPM Benelux if you guys are wondering.

Pros

- Great audiovisual presentation
- Lot's of bang for your buck
- Leon & Ada campaigns are really cool
- Creature design is phenomenal

Cons

- Identity crisis. Trying to please too many people at the same time.
- Chris' campaign is average, other action games do it better
- Collision detection can be off. Especially when using melee.


They did not talk about multiplayer 'cause they always review MP when consumers are actually online and playing the game.


I'll read the article again tonight to make sure I'm not mistaking, because I wrote down the pros and cons from memory.

The bullet points sound very fair. Good review.

I've never been so clueless as to whether I want a game or not.

I mean, the demo was SHIT>>>>>>But it might be BETTER? RE4ish?

Resident Evil 6 leaves players with the shell of a blockbuster game. It blusters along with massive explosions and insane plot twists, but it lacks a fundamental understanding of why action games are fun. In the end, Resident Evil 6 resembles one of its grotesque mutations — bloated, out of control, and recklessly trying to consume everything around it. Capcom has built a real monster here.

4/10
