Uh oh. That seems to say that they're cutting stuff out and will be making DLC for the remaining 1-5 years...I really hope Capcom doesn't sell out like that.UltraDeth said:
Trailers: Resident Evil 6 - Official Trailer
- Thread starter Team Hollywood
- Start date
Is it me, or does Leon's aged appearance not really fit that stupid emo haircut of his?
Regardless, I was worried at first since it just looked like a cinematic trailer, but showing gameplay as well... looks pretty damn good.
Though I thought they said they weren't making anymore RE's in the same vain as 4 or 5 but doesn't bother me since I hated every game before those two.
Definitely looks interesting and I look forward to playing it.
Unless it gets delayed to fuck and back like RE5 did >.>

Source? IGN is saying that, but they don't have a source to speak of. Looks (and sounds) like Ashley to me...Kopikatsu said:
The trailer looked great though, I'm looking forward to playing as Leon again as I thought RE4 was brilliant.

I'm sorry but the 3rd guy fist fighting people was the nail in the coffin for me.
This series died to me with RE:4. This looks like a great game, problem is 'Resedent Evil' the title. This game looks like anything but Resident Evil. Zombies with tentacles reaching over over, guys fist fighting zombies, Leon sliding under enemies like it was Vanquish?
I hope the people who buy this game enjoy giving money to fund more horrible series raping instalments to this franchise.
Resident Evil to zombies is what Twilight is to vampires.

I sort of agree, it seems to be turning into a cookie cutter third person action game.Montezuma said:
I mean, really, kung-fu-ing zombies? Is that what Resident Evil is all about these days? Man what a shame. I never really got into the series back when it first came out, but I always wanted to. Seeing what it's becoming though, I think I won't bother.
No kidding, it sounds EXACTLY like Carolyn Lawrence (Ashley's VA, aka Sandy from Spongebob)itsausernamewhatofit said:
You could be right, I was just wondering if the developers or another reliable source had completely confirmed it.Aiddon said:
You're right, all 6 games and their subsequent spin offs should have remained constant, never changing boring stories of how a lone cop fights off zombies that are never different by shooting them in the head while escaping some giant locked building full of block puzzles. That would have kept the series going!AzrealMaximillion said:
Oh wait, you're just wearing your nostalgia goggles. You silly, silly, person. Even in the older RE titles there was more to this series than plain boring zombies, those "tentacles" are mutations of the virus. I.E. Nemesis wasn't too far fetched but this stuff is?
Nahhh.
They should've remained horror games and not turned into action adventure games. Nostalgia goggles or not, a guy pulling fist fighting move against zombies is stupid. Maybe you can deal with a series changing genres right in the middle of its long run, maybe you can deal with the crappy game mechanics that have been added like crap co-op and not being able to run while shooting, and maybe you can deal with the 9 foot tall mutated tiki skirt wearing monsters and random tentacle hentai zombies. Me and a lot of other people will still be wanting a 'horror' video game that Resident Evil no longer is the front runner in.michael87cn said:
People used to be scared playing RE. Now it's all about how "badass" Leon looks and sliding in between mutants with a guy who punches zombies in the face with Devil May Cry style action.
Even with the mutations in Nemisis, at least he was the only on of them who held a weapon, the other enemies were still horror-style enemies. RE4: got stupid with the guys running at you with chainsaws and the jackass boss with the gatling gun. RE5 had horrible game mechanics like a co-op character with crap AI, no running while shooting and so on.
Also, the atmosphere that made RE is gone.
Fist fighting mutants indeed.
It appears that Resident Evil has finally gone back to its core: Zombies and not crazy people.
I've noticed a few things:
Resident Evil 2 = Awesome
Resident Evil 4 = Awesome
Resident Evil 6 = Awesome?
Notice something they all have in common? Leon is the main character. He is the best overall character IMO that Japanese script writers have created.

It seems less of me having nostalgia glasses and more that growing attitude that 'if you criticize an established franchise's changes these days you're wrong'.Revolutionaryloser said:
I'm turning 21 in 2 weeks, I don't think I'm old enough to be getting a Nostalgia Filter for Resident Evil. I just think that a series going from games that literally created "Survival Horror" as a genre to having the all aspects of horror stripped away and replaced with 3rd Person run of the mill mechanics is sad to see.
RE did used to be scary. You get dropped in a city with very little in the ways of weapons, backup, and surrounded by an epidemic of highly infectious walking corpses, mutated animals, and horrible monsters of apocalyptic proportions. As a cop. Not some guy who is a skin swap for Dante (come on, powered blood makes him strong enough to take out monsters with no gun? That's a Dante clone if we've ever seen one).
Now don't get me wrong, RE:4 was good, it just didn't feel like RE:4. You mentioned Quake and Castlevania? I'll tell you why newer installment of those games don't get criticized like RE4 and 5 do. Quake is still an FPS about shooting aliens, and Castlevania is still an action-adventure game about the Belmonts who kill vampires and other supernatural creatures. Resident Evil went for Survival Horror to 3rd person shooter/action. The mechanics of RE:4 made it a great game, but they also made it impossible for the atmospheric effect that was in previous RE games to be there. That's the horror gone. No matter how mutated the enemies were, they were acting more human, not like unpredictable mindless monsters. The conservative bullet saving of before RE:4 would not have worked. There was not feeling of a 'need to survive'. You had back-up in the form of the creepy sales guy. As awesome of a character as he is, having a guy who sells resources to you an an island inhabited by mutants to just Leon Kennedy (and Ada Wong) seems to rip the survival aspect right out of the game.
You can call it nostalgia glasses all you want, but me and a lot of other people are calling it as we see it.
Amnesia was an indie horror title, it didn't look like shit and was critically acclaimed...
In fact not every great game that comes out costs 300 million to make. Most are made for a lot less.
And hell, RE:6 to me, looks like shit so Capcom won't be getting my $60. $300 million or not, I don't want to be sliding around like in Vanquish one minute, flip kicking like Devil May Cry in the next, and then having to deal with what looks to be 3 crappy storylines.
