Resident Evil 6

Someone on GFAQs pointed out that Rebecca may have been in the trailer.

That or it’s just some random woman.

The big question is:

Will there be boulders to be punched?

Can’t really judge form the trailer too well, but it does look like they’re staying on the action route rather than the horror root. Which I’m sure will upset the old-timer RE crowd again.

It looks like a random woman to me. No reason to think it’s Rebecca besides the lady being a brunette.

I think that the older RE crowd would hate ANYTHING that evolved beyond 1-3. But what people need to realize is that the games were mainly scary because of the dated mechanics which made it hard to move/aim and added an element of panic. Whether or not you agree with the direction it has taken, it was inevitable that the games would evolve to the point where the purist crowd hated them just because keeping them ‘scary’ would also mean keeping dated mechanics that would lead to bad review scores/low sales. I can’t fault the series for trying to evolve, even if it has given up all attempts to be scary.

Because until RE4 they were zombies in every god damn way. The fact that infected people went from what anyone would call a zombie, to shooting at me with guns, is stupid.

Doubt it. Boulders aren’t as dumb as Wesker. They know to never again fuck with Chris Redfeild.

Unrelated, but goddamn these Underworld ads all over SRK are a nuisance.

It just looks like Gears of War with Resident Evil characters. I like 2 and 4 a lot (I have 3 on PSN but I need a faq to get through it) and I would welcome a remake of 2 with 4’s control scheme.

What the fuck are you even talking about.

fuck the haters 5 was the shit.

im hype as hell for 6. did u see when that dude tried to cover the zombie was like “LOL NOPE” and grabed his ass from the other side…thats some mindfuck right there

I love to see Rebecca in this. I been dying to know what’s been up to since the events of the original game.

I think some RE fans need to get used to some of the characters never showing up again. Some fans call them dropped plot points, but if you were in that situation would you knowingly run back into the danger? Hell no. Leon, Chris, and company are the crazy one’s who would do that. It wouldn’t make much sense for Barry to be still doing this. He would be pushing 50, if not in his 50s depending on how many years RE6 skips ahead. He did his thing with Jill to help get Umbrella shut down(Who wouldn’t say something after experiencing all of that) and he more than likely rode off into the sunset so as to not push his luck. Probably the same thing for the other people.

I’m saying that series purists hated 4 and 5 because they went more for action than horror. But the series wasn’t that scary in the first place and the only scary moments came from the bad controls. Keeping those intact to try to keep things scary would just lead to the series dying because casuals would give up on the games. So I can’t really fault Capcom for trying to evolve the series into being more action-based, even if 5 went way too over-the-top with it.

Wishful thinking.

Eh, I been playing RE since day 1 and frankly by Code Veronica, shit was no longer fun. Real stale and predictable. RE4 was a wonderful breath of fresh air while still being creepy as fuck. Chainsaw Bag head in RE4 made me panic like Nemesis through a wall. Was great

Also zombies with guns…Frankly if, after 10 years, Wesker was still attacking me with a virus that turns people into mental retards who can only drag their feet and maybe bite me, i’d be dissapointed in any claim made about him being a genius. You improve your virus to be more effective, not leave it at it’s most basic form.

I get what guys like Lunaid are saying but it’s just not that big a deal…least not to me.

So you want them to be the same thing over and over again until they become tired and bland? What are you expecting? How else would they evolve the enemies from flesh eating monsters? There isn’t much in between stumbling grunts and stumbling guys with weapons. Besides, there wasn’t only zombies in the old games. There were hunters, lickers, plant things, giant alligators, parasites, etc.

Ok.

And wait, is that Ashley Grahm? I THOUGHT WE LEFT YOU BEHIND FOREVER

If this game has Mercenaries Mode (why wouldn’t it?) and HUNK (please), then I’m good. I’ll wait for gameplay to decide whether it looks fun, but I’ll keep my eye on it and talk to friends about it for sure.

Chris “YO FUCK THIS BOULDER” Redfield and Leon “Back-dropping zombies” Kennedy in the same game?? Take my money capcom.

Also Capcom is racist because Chris is in china and the zombies he was shooting were wearing Jordan’s.

The original games being scary had little to do with the archaic controls.

Gonna be getting this. I liked RE5, although it does get to the point where you have too much ammo and it just becomes a shooter. If they can strike a good balance between survival and action, I’ll be pleased.

It has a bit to do with it. The difficulty of movement lead to moments of panic.
