watched trailer, felt nothing. Were it not the return of characters like Chris and Leon, I feel like almost all games are beginning to blur into one. Is this me being jaded or just the games industry becoming more and more creatively bankrupt.

 

[Nirolak]

Same engine as RE5, so I actually don't expect it to look that differently.

Technically that one was MT Framework 1.X while this is MT Framework 2.X.

 

[leadbelly]

It just seems to me like they have tried to please everyone.

"Do you think fans will enjoy playing as Leon again?"

"Hmmm lets just put every Resident Evil character in there just to make sure"

"How do you think we can improve the gameplay mechanics?"

"Lets just copy every single action game that has been released in the past 6 years"

"Oh, and lets add co-op again just in case"

 

[Gospel]

It blows my mind people don't recognise Ashley. The voice alone is so recognisable.

But the ears, man, the ears!

 

[JORMBO]

Too much over the top action.

I think I'm just done with the series.

 

[ironcreed]

Because that's not what I want from a Resident Evil game. I mean, if it does that stuff well, great! But when it opened up with zombies in a ruined city, it felt like a kick in the teeth when Chris (basically) roadie ran and went into cover.

Yeah, look what happened to him after he went into cover.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

It blows my mind people don't recognise Ashley. The voice alone is so recognisable.

This. The game will release and officially confirm that it's her, and people will still be like "Was that Ashley?!" lol

 

[thetrin]

Really? Oh well. I mean I found this trailer entertaining and heck, I would buy it. I thought that Capcom would do away with the cover based shootouts. I was wrong.

Yeah. I'm done with plodding atmospheric RE games. RE4 buried that shit with its fantastic gameplay.

And I played RE5 entirely in co-op, so I enjoyed that quite a bit.

I just hope RE6 has co-op in the story, so I can play with my roommate.

No, Leon and Ada are the best characters with everybody else following after and Chris being at the absolute bottom.

It is a complete mystery to me as to how anyone likes Ada at all. Oh wait, she's a scantily clad woman. I cracked the case.

 

[Raxus]

This guy has to be Alex Wesker with all the Fist of the Northstar crap he does in the trailer.

 

[Ushojax]

Yeah... no. Anyone who actually thinks this a worse direction than going back to Resident Evil 1 tank controls, mansion exploration, etc is super imposing their personal opinion.

I think people are talking about the HelicopterEXPLOSIONS...kung-fuZombiePresident style more than the controls. The Resi games under Mikami saved that stuff for the endgame, they didn't shove it in your face right from the start.

 

[Mlatador]

This...is not Resident Evil. It feels more like a tie-in with the Paul WS Anderson movies. I'll remain curious because it has Leon in it (whose voice seems to have changed for the worse) but I expect it to be a million miles away from Mikami's vision for the franchise.

Whenever I hear PaulWSAnderson my mouth starts foaming.

 

[Allonym]

Because that's not what I want from a Resident Evil game. I mean, if it does that stuff well, great! But when it opened up with zombies in a ruined city, it felt like a kick in the teeth when Chris (basically) roadie ran and went into cover.

But see thats the beauty of it, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. If you'd like to be exposed to enemy fire that's fine but that'd be your choice for us that feel its an intelligent addition to the formula we now have it. Everyone is satisfied, why complain?

Yep. Although kudos to them, because this somehow avoids like looking like a greatest hits. Instead, it's looking like a glorious clusterfuck. :lol

And the action game comment isn't fair, cover is usually against these T-Plagas beasties

720p gif? hold up with that shit, i only got a core 2 duo, not ready for the future yet :(

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

This was a great Capcom day (that demo)...
Then it turned into a nightmare (that trailer)...

I'm going to play some RE4 while the tears are drying.

 

[bigboss370]

Soo it looks like, maybe...

When you play as Leon the game is like RE4

When you play as Chris the game is like RE5

When you play as bald dude the game is like..Vanquish?

 

[IC_Champion]

His moves remind me of alberto(Mahvel GAF meme) wesker?

Could he be Alex Wesker?

Could be.

Soo it looks like, maybe...

When you play as Leon the game is like RE4

When you play as Chris the game is like RE5

When you play as bald dude the game is like..Vanquish?

Shades (influence?) of Mikami.

 

[BadData]

Yeah this is going to be dope. Old school fans may be sad it's not the game they want, but somehow the RE team became one of the best action developers in the business. RE5 was fucking excellent in terms of pacing, variety, creativity, and had incredible coop mechanics. They shot themselves in the foot: in their desire to make deep coop mechanics they went beyond the capabilities of their AI and so ruined the SP. If you hate on RE5, you owe it to yourself to try it again with a partner, it's apples and oranges. Plus they're no slouch in the graphics department either.

 

[Anth0ny]

THIS IS THE BEST RESIDENT EVIL GAME OF ALL TIME

THE BEST

Was waiting for your reaction to that :lol

Ashley is definitely back. Not sure if that's a good thing.

 

[K1LLER7]

Gonna be Game of the year

 

[weeaboo]

Another dudebro shooter, meh

At least RE: Revelations is good

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

I think people are talking about the HelicopterEXPLOSIONS...kung-fuZombiePresident style more than the controls. The Resi games under Mikami saved that stuff for the endgame, they didn't shove it in your face right from the start.

Given how this is the sixth game of the franchise, I'm geussing this is the endgame.

 

[thetrin]

HelicopterEXPLOSIONS...kung-fuZombiePresident

Jeez, I'm already sold on the game. You don't need to keep reminding me.

Another dudebro shooter, meh

Apparently I am a dudebro. Good to know.

 

[Carbonox]

All we need now is a character with a sword.



Seriously.

When Wesker said "global saturation," fucker meant it. He must've gone level 3 X-factor shades off for this game.

 

[Dan]

The trailer looked amazing, espescially the lightning. I am going to pick up the PC version as long as it releases within a two month window of the console version. It seems like Capcom has achieved a good mixture of horror and action. Some horror for the longtime fans of the series, as well has a more action oriented part to ensure mass appeal. Hopefully they will also bring back Mercenaries. RE5's Mercenaries was a big step up compared to RE4, and I spent far more time with it than I did with the main campaign.

I didn't see any horror in there. I saw a shitload of action and scripted segments however.

 

[Acidote]

How does MT 2 handle vsync and tearing?

 

[Bebpo]

It just seems to me like they have tried to please everyone.

"Oh, and lets add co-op again just in case"

The problem with games (and anything involving creative arts in general) is that when you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well, that was completely disappointing. I was hopeful that they were going to move away from the action game approach after Takeuchi's reboot comments. Instead they've gone even crazier with that approach.

 

[Puddles]

I thought this looked amazing. I don't really care if there's more action as long as the atmosphere and set pieces are right.

My biggest complaint about RE5 was that 90% of the game took place in daylight. It had zero atmosphere.

This game looks to really nail the horror mood, except you'll be shooting a lot of stuff. I don't give a shit.

 

[Clear]

To be fair, it looks really good. But I'm just not really down with the sort of high-tempo OTT action in conjunction with the RE franchise.

Zombies are claustrophobic monsters, they should lunge at you at out of the shadows in rooms with limited space to move, which to me seems really at odds with the relentless enbiggening of the action shown in the trailer.

 

[Vamphuntr]

All we need now is a character with a sword.



Seriously.

Secret Character in Merc mode is Ninja Theory's Dante.

 

[Madrugador]

The Leon parts look amazing. Glad to see him back, best Resident Evil character ever.

Spoiler

Besides Barry

 

[Red UFO]

But see thats the beauty of it, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. If you'd like to be exposed to enemy fire that's fine but that'd be your choice for us that feel its an intelligent addition to the formula we now have it. Everyone is satisfied, why complain?

I just don't think dudes should be shooting at you at all!

 

[plagiarize]

I think people are talking about the HelicopterEXPLOSIONS...kung-fuZombiePresident style more than the controls. The Resi games under Mikami saved that stuff for the endgame, they didn't shove it in your face right from the start.

the OTT helecopters explosions tanks etc don't seem to be in Leon's part so much. it's like everyone has forgotten the first minute or so of the trailer.

I didn't see any horror in there. I saw a shitload of action and scripted segments however.

see?

 

[Jocchan]

All we need now is a character with a sword.



Seriously.

Only one sword? I can totally see Baldy dual wielding.

the OTT helecopters explosions tanks etc don't seem to be in Leon's part so much. it's like everyone has forgotten the first minute or so of the trailer.

Too many explosions cause loss of memory CONFIRMED.

 

[Ezalc]

It is a complete mystery to me as to how anyone likes Ada at all. Oh wait, she's a scantily clad woman. I cracked the case.

Because she's a tease, and on top of that she's a sexy mysterious tease that kicks ass in a hot fucking dress. You never know who's side she's on man! Teeeeeeeaaaaaaaseeeeeeeee

 

[Aspiring]

I don't think Capcom has said anything. I would expect it to be like 4 and 5. Maybe even less so.

I thought the chick at the end was Ashley.

Cheers for the reply! Hopefully there are some decent puzzels like in RE1/2.

Anyway i love me some Resident Evil and will buy this regardless, so does anybody know how long until amazon usually put these things up for pre-order?

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Leons got a great taste in jackets. First it was that bomber jacket, now this black one. WANT.

 

[grandjedi6]

It blows my mind people don't recognise Ashley. The voice alone is so recognisable.

In my defense, I was distracted by the even more recognizable voice of Troy Baker upon initial viewing.

 

[Omikaru]

Does anyone else think the three different campaigns/characters will present three distinctly different playstyles?

I'm kind of hoping it does.

Leon: RE4-styled horror. Solo. Without the goddamn escort missions.
Chris: RE5-styled action. Co-op.
New Guy: Something different again? Will Ashley be a co-op partner, or will she be someone to escort (or both?)?

If they do shake it up like that, I'd be very pleased, especially if each campaign is good enough to stand on its own feet.

 

[Ushojax]

RE5 was fucking excellent in terms of pacing, variety, creativity, and had incredible coop mechanics.

the OTT helecopters explosions tanks etc don't seem to be in Leon's part so much. it's like everyone has forgotten the first minute or so of the trailer.

OK so it's still two-thirds shit. That's too much for me.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

So.... is the stream not happening? Or did I get the times wrong....

 

[wrowa]

strange dp

 

[TAJ]

Chris parts looked straight up like Gears and now he has even more incredible agility. How can it be survival horror if my character is a superhero?

Easily.
Swarm you with enough enemies that running is your only option, or make you fight the damned Cloverfield monster with a puny assault rifle, for starters.

 

[Summary Man]

Speaking strictly from a visual point of view, I think at RE5 looks a lot better about this game. Something about this one seems really unpolished. I know it's not finished yet, but I expected it to look equal to or better than its predecessor.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Yeah this is going to be dope. Old school fans may be sad it's not the game they want, but somehow the RE team became one of the best action developers in the business. RE5 was fucking excellent in terms of pacing, variety, creativity, and had incredible coop mechanics. They shot themselves in the foot: in their desire to make deep coop mechanics they went beyond the capabilities of their AI and so ruined the SP. If you hate on RE5, you owe it to yourself to try it again with a partner, it's apples and oranges. Plus they're no slouch in the graphics department either.

I never played RE5 alone, that would be torture. Coop mechanics are indeed good, but the rest? Pacing, variety, creativity? Naaaaah.

 

[wrowa]

Having played RE: Revelations today made the reveal for me a whole bunch worse, I believe.

I just got into the mood of playing a more slow-payed, atmospheric Resident Evil and I started to anticipate that RE6 might go in that direction too ... and them came the trailer.

The first part was actually really promising. Leon's gameplay looked really atmospheric and promising, but what came after it was just ... eh.

Chris started talking and I realized quickly: I hate that guy. The gameplay shown was RE5++ which is probably not that bad on its own (I actually enjoyed RE5!), but I absolutely hoped for something else.

And then the new guy came... I really don't understand who thought that putting him into the game would be a good idea. RE is now an action brawler? What? It's like they don't care at all anymore for the past of the series, lolz.



Hearing that one can play every part of the game individually just makes it worse. That's like saying "If you don't like one part you can just skip it!", yeah, cool story, but you know what? I don't want to play a game where I skip 30% of the game or even more!
