Resident Evil 6

He’s Will Smith minus a German Sheppard.

Ok, so I think I speak for everyone when I say this announcement with a release date 10 months away is mind boggling. And based on how much content we got in that trailer, its highly likely that this game is far into its development.

So on that note, when do you think we can expect to see gameplay at the earliest? E3?

Hopefully a demo in Sept/October.

Ugh. How will I live.

So my knowledge of the RE universe is limited but who is the guy with the shaved head? My friends tell me its Leon after the deal at DC but I seriously doubt it.

But like everyone else in here, I hope Wesker goes 1 on 1 with Leon.

When I first saw the trailer I thought the new guy was Steve Burnside. Then I rewatched the trailer and realized that that’s probably not the case. Profound sadness.

gtfo here capcom with this sf4 nonsense…

Wesker will come back eventually. Not the one you killed in 5, but Capcom is probably going to say he cloned himself or some shit… or the RE5 Wesker was indeed the clone of the actual Wesker which was meant just for a distraction as he got his main plan ready to destroy the world. He wont be in this game but I bet in RE7 or 8 he will be.

Or another thing that could happen is that he left behind a plan B just in case he died to his son or some shit… it is a video game so Capcom can do whatever they want with the story really.

All I know is whenever Capcom decides to end the series the last game of the story has to involve Wesker one way or another… or else it just wouldnt feel right.

Isn’t it redundant to have an re6 and general re thread?

Resident Evil 6 was such an epic announcement today that you cant really fault anyone.

But on that note, if a moderator sees this and decides to merge both topics…PLEEEEASE do somthing about the trolls who pop in every couple posts with “WHA THEY NEEDS TUH GO BACK TO DA SCARYNESS.”

Its getting redundant. Theres such a thing and giving criticisms and then theres just complaining about senseless things like how Resident Evil needs to go back to the RE1-3 style controls to make it more “scary.”

If you think the controls are what made pre RE4 games the least bit scary than you probably also think taking away SRK rep bars is what gave us so much new blood post 2008.

Don’t be silly…he has Ashley

lack of weapons/ammo added to the scare factor too. sure I had a shotgun but I couldnt just use it to kill shitty zombies because I needed better weapons to fight hunters, lickers, mrx, nemesis, etc.

Ok I guess.

All the ammo in the world isnt going to help you when you have reverse controls on d-pad movement with no free run dynamic. Plus ammo was already limited.

Resident Evil is filled with nostalgia. I wasnt as scared at 25 as I was at 13, none the less, I already went into detail about this in the Resident Evil topic. The series could use more scare tactics, but really its not going to win over anyone who already didnt like 4 or 5.

Just move on when a series isnt what you were used to. People make this more difficult than it is. Resident Evil 4 was the best thing they could have did for progressing the series.

I dont really buy that having lack of ammo or limiting controls added to the scare factor. The mood, the environments, not knowing whats behind every corner, then having some occasional monsters pop out of nowhere is what made the older RE games creepy.

Dont really mind the direction that Capcom is taking the series as long as they deliver an entertaining game, although im disappointed that the setting for this game takes place before RE5…

I’m happy with the action heavy less scary direction it’s just disappointing to see a great thing not be as great as you know it can be. Like I said combining the atmosphere of 2 with the gameplay of 4 would be GDLKE

REvelations looks like it’ll have the scares. Anyways if I want a game to terrify me I’ll just play Dead Space 2 which IMO rapes all RE’s anyways =)

lol @ the zombie that looks like DmC Dante in the trailer. Capcom are masters of the troll arts.

It would be amazing if wesker entered with

“you will not survive”

“You are nothing to me”

“I was the only worthy one”

And RE5 was amazing, it took a much needed change of direction for the series. I find it hilarious how people want the same old thing in there games over and over again.

Capcom is pretty smart when it comes to keeping there main IP’s fresh and not letting them become stale and or stagnate.

did you even play RE4?

5 was far from “amazing”. doubt anyone will ever agree with you on that.

RE4 took the “needed direction” and still turned out pretty awesome. Id be more than happy if 6 is more like re4 and not full blown gears of war/call of doodoo.

I did play 4 but never finished, and yes 4 was really good, 5 was a good change of pace for the series. Not saying every game should be like 5 or 4, 3 or 2. But the fact that capcom has keep the main story fresh(albeit a bit ridiculous) keep’s the series from getting dull.

IMO Code veronica is the best, then part 2 then 5, 4, and 3…( Never finished part 1)

edit: I also think if you played RE5 single player than it is significantly less enjoyable than playing with a friend on the hardest difficulty co-op.

RE5 was amazing and yes I played RE4. I liked RE4 more though.

Needs more survival horror and less action horror but other than that it looks great. Definitely digging the RE2/Raccoon City style setting, too.
