Resident Evil 6

[SaetonChapelle]

Im thinking the third main character might be Steve. Green right hand (glove? maybe, couldnt see), red hair, and a virus everyone seems to desire in his blood? Hmmm~

 

[llew]

looks alright, one thing i have to know though... does leon look like dante to anyone else?

 

[team star pug]

At first it looked like they might make the Leon sections slower paced zombie affairs, and the Chris section 3rd person squad based gameplay, but then Leon does a sliding tackle...

 

[BleedingPride]

resident evils 1 - everything havent scared me yet and they dont have to because they are all fantastic games, especially resident evil 4 during the village and castle sections (more so the village) this one looks really good im really up for this and also operations raccoon city for looking like relentless fun

Well Dante was built from a Leon re-design.

 

[Biodeamon]

At least they finally made a new game instead of capcom fapping off to resident evil 2 every time they make a "new" game


and is just me or ever since vanquish came it has it become a rule that a game has to have a slide mechanic?

But Steve died... I find pretty dificult to believe that's him. But then again that's Capcom we are talking about. Anyway, I find Steve very annoying, so better off him dead.
The girl could be either Sherry or Ashley (They both should be about the same age). Ashley most likely, her father died so I guess that's fair that she get some importancy to the plot.(or at very least a mention)

And I think that all the scenarios will be Co-op somewhat. Only hope that will the single player will not suck as much like was in Resident Evil 5.

Pfft. Please, as if a little trifle like death could stop Wesker! Besides i'm sure a fall into a lava flow is totally survivable...

What i really mean is i'm hoping Capcom pulls a fast one and writes Wesker back in. Just make him all scarred and say he was saved by his sexy voice... Or that he just crawled onto a rock or something

Resident Evil 6 is only 10 years after Raccoon City, making it 2008, a year before Resident Evil 5 and Wesker's death.

Well, that suck. I don't like prequels very much... Makes very easy to Capcom just retcon stuff. And it's Capcom, they will retcon stuff, very much so...
But I don't think Wesker will be the villain on this one, maybe I am wrong, without some more information about how this 3 main characters will work and if there story are indeed connect somehow we can just guess and I guess that very scenario will have it's own "main baddie"

I'm excited and cautiously optimistic at the same time. Resident Evil is one of my favorite series of all time, and I did enjoy Resident Evil 5, but I do miss the terror elements that RE4 and Code Veronica, ect, brought me. I've played the demo for the 3DS title, and that's pretty good, but we're not talking about that XD

I'm excited for Leon's elements (and may I fangirl for a minute and say 'Holy Shit he's some hot stuff in this game'.) As it brings back horror and Zombies. Actual Zombies! /cheers

Now, I am cautiously optimistic on the other play troughs as Chris, more cautious as the new guy (which, no offense to the people who say it's Steve, I think it's maybe somebody injected with Weskers DNA, seeing as Capcom announced he was related to a big Resident Evil character) and the woman they did announce was Sherry Birken. I just hope they don't make it Ashley-type missions.

The one thing that gets me iffy about those parts are the cover based mechanics and not really fighting zombies :/ but, seeing as I haven't seen all trailers, I'll leave it on 'no further comment.'

But yeah, I am preordering this as soon as I can get to a GameStop. I'm that excited.

This is a nice thread

We can't be having that

Almost too nice if you ask me. The Escapist seems to prefer companies broadening their audience instead of doing a game for a smaller demographic such as the fans.

Looks like Resident Evil is infected with the G(ears of War)-Virus.

Resident Evil 4 came out way before Gears of War was even thought of, I'd venture to say. And this is still using those same basic mechanics. So...huh?

I'm not talking about Resident Evil 4, I'm commenting on this trailer for RE 6 which shows Chris (?) running and then sliding towards a chest-high wall and taking cover behind it as part of what looks to be actual gameplay (around 2:45). If I remember correctly, RE4 and RE5 didn't allow the player to do that.

EDIT: maybe GoW isn't the most accurate comparison. Someone already mentioned Vanquish (Capcom game), which would explain the sliding.

Vanquish is a Platinum game that was published by Sega. I have a feeling that sliding will become the new time mechanic.

If they do decide to make Chris's story more action-y, I hope they throw military-class BOWs at him. The files in RE5 mentioned that the BOWs Chris and Sheva were fighting were knockoffs of 'real' BOWs. U-8 for example. The file for him says that the military version of U-8 has impenetrable armor everywhere, including it's joints and mouth. Considering those were the only weak points of the U-8...the military U-8 would be freakin' hard core. You'd probably have to survive long enough until it starves to death.

The trailer actually looked better than I thought. It seemed to be offering up the play style of 4 for Leon's levels, something closer to 5 meets Gears with Chris' levels, and who know's what's going on with the new guy aside from the Ashley like chick. Also the classic shambling zombie seemed to be present in some scenes, which is pretty much what I want to see more or.

Honestly I'm only really excited about how Leon's game looked as well, but so long as they don't force a retarded AI partner and give me back the suitcase of 4 then I'll probably be up for this game, however if I find out that's not the case I will rapidly loose interest.

You know, ever since they released 4, which I bought at launch and have repurchased many times (I'd love to buy it on PSN, but until they add the all too obvious Move support I'm going to boycott it, as I'm a Move owner who feels like I shouldn't have bought what they're clearly turning into a short-lived gimmick), I've wanted them to create a branch off series that plays like the old school games only with clever updates. While I love 4 and it's system, I really miss the cinematic camera angles, tight corridors, and shambling, relentless, corpses of the old school games.

Instead we get a series of on-rail shooters...

Basically: the original Evil took a lot of influence from Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, which was great, I mean they still remain the best Zombie films of all time for a reason... I feel like modern Evil is taking it's cues from the Resident Evil movies, which is just fucking stupid as those movies suck. Like really really suck. If you disagree, then clearly didn't play Resident Evil 3, let me tell you it took a lot more than a supermodel to take out Nemesis, and the only reason Alice is so important in the movies is she's fucking the director, which by the way is how she gets most of her staring roles, including the Fifth Element...

Basically: I used to love this series, and it reached a beautiful peak on the Gamecube with REmake and 4, but now it's sort of just embarrassing to call myself a Resident Evil fan...

You're absolutely right. Heh, my mind is playing tricks on me. I knew that Vanquish was developed by several people who were responsible for RE 4 (among them Shinji Mikami) so the "conclusion" came easily.

By time mechanic you are referring to Max Payne's bullet time?

Yeah, when it first came out it was unique and awesome but now every game has it. It's not a bad thing to add a fun mechanic to the game, and I think that sliding will follow the same pattern. If I'm extremely optimistic I'll hope that it might get the industry to move past slow cover based shooters.

 

[IamGamer41]

I think the shaved head guy is Steve Burnside from Code Veronica.

Thats a good guess.Ive heard others say that is another of the Wesker children Spencer talked about.Even though he said that the only one to survive was Albert.

 

[Michael Hirst]

The first 10 seconds of the trailer looked great, dark, zombies etc. In fact all the section with Leon look great, looks like he's outnumbered and not armed well enough to fight all the zombies while the Chris portions look closer to Gears of War than Resident Evil.

At the end of the day though Capcom are a sinking ship pretty enthusiastic about ruining just about every good thing theiyhave to their name and I predict Resident Evil 6 will only be a continuation of this trend.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Leon's sections look good (from what insignificant gameplay we can scrap together). Fair mix of action and horror. Chris' bits look like a 3rd person CoD zombie mode, but that doesn't mean they'll be bad. The mystery character interests me, if only to find out who he is and his significance to the plot.

Waiting for more details, but tentatively kind of half looking forward to it.

Yeah, but after hyper-mobility (sliding, crazy jumps, jet-pack flight and whatnot), where else to go for the cover based shooter?

EDIT: IMO it'll get whacky real fast if shooters will simply continue in a linear fashion.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

Damn doesnt look like it'll be very survival horror-ey, but from this trailer it looks like Resident Evil 6 may have ramped up the fun factor.
Resident Evil 5 went wrong because it wasnt scary, but it wasnt that fun either, as long as Capcom get one of the two down then i'll be happy
