Capcom Says Resident Evil 6 Will Be "Different"

[Iron Lightning]

Ummm, I was under the impression that this series was dead. Why are they resurrecting it?

 

[Karthek]

As long as Capcom doesnt pull another crappy 9-slot inventory out of their butts, ill play it. <3 Resident Evil!

 

[BrionJames]

Why can't it be both?

I dont get very scared when I'm in a hallway filled with zombiez......and a shotgun with oodles of ammo. gotta make ya feel helpless to scare. But, people are scared by different things.

True. Being scared and being in the midst of an intense situation, such as being in a hallway filled with zombies with no ammo, are two different things. The majority of a survival horror game being scary is tied up in its atmosphere, not the intesity of the situation. Any old shooter can give you that, but sitting up at night with the lights off creeping through an old mansion or a empty police station can really give you the heebie-jeebies. I don't see why the two can't be in the same game and still be considered both intense and scary.

I just want to be able to pull the trigger and move at the same time. I don't care if it's ridiculously inaccurate. Having to set yourself up like a tripod just to fire a pistol gets old fast.

 

[duchaked]

so uhh...take away the tank controls? that's a start

My prediction? Leon S Kennedy, back with a vengeance and roughly twice the size of Chris Redfield in RE5.
So much muscle he refuses to use a gun and instead runs (hobbles) around punching zombies in the face, decapitating Tyrants by putting them in headlocks, and arm wrestling El Gigantes.

Oh, and Wesker's back. Do you really think you can kill Wesker? Not a chance friend.

everything you said here...had better come true

I just roll with the trends, if they say Chris is now three times bigger than what he was, what other way is there to go?

Plus, its Wesker, it took a

Spoiler

Shot to the face, falling out of a stealth bomber INTO a volcanic crater, getting shot like a million times in the chest, ran through with not one, but TWO giant knives, and he was still fit to fight. He fell in lava and STILL was a threat. It took two missiles and a lava bath to "put him down".

I still don't think that's enough.

apparently someone involved in making RE5 (be it the director or Wesker's voice actor) I read somewhere said that Wesker won't be coming back in RE6, that

Spoiler

he's dead for good

however, might not be true cuz he's too cool not to be included in a future game haha

but it's whatever. I'm not a huge RE fan so I'm not really all that concerned. but who can argue with someone with a cool voice, persistent shades, and can dodge bullets matrix style? xD

 

[masticina]

Of course I am still waiting on the Cell Shaded, Soft Classic Music Playing, Romantic Storyline with deep touches of a society pressures and issues being dealt with. Yes RE6 will definitely be greatness

*Yeah..*

I dunno can they make a good RE again? If they go the Scary route they can do that we have way to many action games, shooters and so on. A scary game in what you are weaker then the opponents sounds like allot of fun [so unlike RE4, a good game but lets be fair.. shotgun blast through the head!]

I feel that times change and even though if an "off timezone" you can make a certain type of game like lets say making a JRPG right now it probably won't be seen as super great. Because the current market pulls so much to shooters and action games. Hell maybe Indie games indeed can wake up the sleeping giants.

Back to RE6, can they make a great game? I think so.. if they dare to do something. They have to make choice if they want to much they might put water by the wine.

 

[chanceisshane]

What I want is a superb merging of action and horror. Moments that make you go "HOLY SHIT" and moments that scare the shit out of you. Long moments of tension and fright unexpectedly broken down into chaos or something. Just because something has action in it does not mean that your loaded up with ammunition, or just because something has horror in it does not mean that there cannot be jaw dropping moments. Maybe I am asking for too much.

 

[refanrl1]

First off when they made re4 it was different but very good game, but it was suppose 2be about the zombies. And 5 wqas great also but it wasn't scary any more. You got people riding bikes and and shooting arrows back. I miss the zombies so I hope its not f'd up...bring the zombies back!!!

 

[RaNDM G]

As long as the story doesn't bomb like RE 5, I'm fine with whatever changes they make.

 

[Arsen]

Bring back the following:

- Original controls.
- Sparse ammunition.
- Force me to have to run. I should run out of ammo if I have to fight everything.
- Give me complex puzzles.

Thank you Capcom.

"Capcom needs to ask itself: Should Resident Evil be fun to play and a competent shooter, or should it be scary?"

I know somebody else said something like this on here but I don't see why it can't be both. Not to mention they've made a whole lot of Resident Evil games so they have plenty of practice.

 

[gideonkain]

Doesn't really matter what it is, it won't be as scary as Amnesia and it won't be as fun as a worthy shooter.

 

[big_21]

Everybody dies on RE6 (even Wesker, because i'm not convinced he's dead). Wait. Of course not, they need the cash cow milking.
Come on Capcom! Throw in all the survivors for the ultimate showdows vs. Umbrella and REBOOT the damn thing already!

 

[Druyn]

So no more ammo dumps making it so we gun down entire cities?

Bring back ZOMBIES not infected super motorcycle riding, gun using super men?

The problem is that zombies are boring now. They aren't really scary anymore. Granted, the motorcycle riders and all of that was way too much, but there needs to be something else in there.

Myabe it'll be a top-down co-op game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.307532-Silent-Hill-Book-of-Memories-revealed-as-top-down-multiplayer-game#12391166]

Should Resident Evil be fun to play and a competent shooter, or should it be scary?

Wait.... did no one think the first three (and change) were fun to play? I like the play style of the old ones. I don't need to shoot something every fifteen seconds for the game to be considered fun to play. Do the rest of you?
