Funny how companies don't seem to mind about breaking NDAs too much when the person is saying the game is good. It's like they've got some vested interest or something.
At least that double standard helps us to work out what's worth spending money on. You have to be careful though. Sometimes companies let people break NDAs on purpose.

Screenshots will be censored until 2 weeks after the reviews, so you cannot see the 'amazing graphical upgrades[footnote]Back of box quote[/footnote]'Ronack said:
Also, trailer will carry on the recent tradition of live action...
I watched Conan O'Brian's "review" of the game on Clueless gamer. While I didn't take his consideration into account, there was an animation I watched as they played where the characters can compliment each other by giving a thumbs up. It's a really bad animation and I have to wonder if Capcom is seriously keeping that it. But that alone gives me the impression there will be a pretty big lack of detail.
Funny part is that a few journos have -said- things already that very much imply people really should wait for reviews with Resi 6. The most common thing I'm hearing is that it's tried to be everything at once (survival horror, super action shooter, coop shooter etc) and due to not focusing on any one thing fails to do a good job at all with anything. I'll probably check it out when it's like $20 bucks on steam but man sounds like paying full price would be a baaad idea for even the most hardest of hardcore resi fans.
Went I went to GameStop yesterday to buy myself a headset for Borderlands 2 I noticed a bunch of these games sitting on the shelf behind the register. I made some flippant comment like "I heard that's prolly gonna be shite" and got a 10 minute long pitch about how it was "the best of what you love about Resident Evil". The guy was REALLY enthusiastic about it. It was almost odd...
I remember in Podtoid, Jim Sterling was asked how it was, and he said "I can't really respond with words." Then he let out a long, drawn-out, defeated sigh.
"That's all I can tell you," he finished.
Ohhh.

I understand the point of NDAs, but I hate to see them abused to protect shitty products (rather than trade secrets like their supposed to). I especially hate the "you can't talk about the NDA" clause. It is, if I may, complete and utter bullshit that does horrifying things to the legal system and the idea of free speech.
It's one thing to prevent someone from revealing specific information about a product; it's another to force them not to even say anything about not being able to say anything. When the gag is this tight, there is no point in letting anyone see it at all.

Why would they show the game to anyone if they don't want you talking about it?
Also, why would anyone agree that they can't talk about the game before they get to see it?
If I sound Whiny or ignorant I apologize. I just really would like to know how people get into these situations. It doesn't seem good for either side.

So I'm the only person who actually liked the RE6 demo then?
If Resident Evil getting more 'action-y' ruined the series, then the series was ruined at RE2 when you could get an infinite ammo SMG at the beginning, unlock an Extreme Battle Arena (Actual ingame name), and were given more ammo than you needed to kill every enemy in the game and then some (Not counting the aforementioned infinite ammo SMG).

One of the reasons I avoid Gamestop. Some I go to are okay, but a fair number of them have just shit employees. They must be getting paid good, cause there is no way someone on minimum wage would be so... "enthusiastic"... about selling you COD and Madden...Fappy said:
The infinite ammo SMG just requires you to set the difficulty one below default and the 'more ammo than you need to kill everything in the game multiple times over' is there through every playthrough.Vivi22 said:
There's a 'pair' in every RE game, too.
RE0: Rebecca/Billy
RE1: Chris/Jill; Barry/Rebecca
RE2: Leon/Claire
RE3: Jill/Carlos
RE4: Leon/Ashley
RE5: Chris/Sheva
RE6: Leon/Helena; Chris/Piers; Jake/Sherry
Forgot about the SMG since I never play the easy difficulty, and I did actually mean to specify that I wasn't referring to all the extra ammo lying around there. Forgive me, I got ahead of myself there.Kopikatsu said:
But those still don't make it an action game.
What keeps it from being an action game? The camera angles?Vivi22 said:
With the excess of ammo, it turns into 'Shoot everything that moves' instead of inventory management and conservation like in RE1, where you had to run from most encounters.
Edit: It's also worth noting that the first Resident Evil coined the term 'survival horror'.
