Sorry capcom.
You've screwed me over one too many times so I'm not going to buy your games any more.

Batzi4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

that's a stupid thing to say. When COD3 was released I thought COD was dead and said to myself the same exact thing but I soon learned I was mistaking and pre-judged the situation, COD4 was born and changed the way we play FPS. Be optimistic.

FACTUAL evidence4358d ago

Had hope for RE6, but all I see it as now is a freaking action game, with last minut ,e plots....Wesker's son?! Not only that, but soon as I read the zombies holding pipes and guns, and you can hurry and disarm them.....I'm like, yeah...i'll get this used in 2014.

Virtual_Reality4358d ago

But what happened after COD 4? The series went to downhill, specially Online.

''- Zombies will now wield axes, pipes and guns. If properly disarmed, these can be used against them.

- Zombies can now dash, jump and climb.''

^^^^^ And Capcom call this ''Zombies''?

wolokowoh4358d ago

The only problem is RE4 would be COD4 in your analogy and COD hasn't done a lot to change it up since and many argue it's gotten worse rather than better. If RE5 was RE4 quality(how they set up the ambience and pacing, even if it wasn't scary), very few would have complained. That said I have still high hopes for Leon's campaign in RE6 after playing RE: Revelations which seems to be where they're going with it. That said RE4 and RE2 are still my favorites which is the main reason I have high hopes(aka Leon is in it)

tigertron4358d ago

@ Virtual_Reality

About sprinting zombies that can jump and climb...think 28 Days Later zombies. It actually sounds pretty awesome, with the exception of them holding weapons of course.

Anyway the only reason I'm buying RE6 is because of Leon's segment. Hopefully its not short...

Kurylo3d4358d ago

these arent zombies... zombies dont use guns... your iether the slow brain dead walking corpse... or the rage virus type stuff u see in movies these days.. which (lets face it) arent smart there just really pissed off.

This whole zombies use guns and stuff is just lame.. lets face it the whole point they wobble around is cause part of their brain is destroyed.. the whole point they attack people is cause part of their brain is destroyed and there hungry... the whole reason they dont eat other zombies is cause its a natural response to be able to smell rotting meat and not want it. Zombies just need to feed.. thats it.. the rest of the brain is gone ... so now there trying to make intelligent zombies to make it more action like... which kind of takes any sort of scientific explanation and throws it out the window. Not to mention is thats not scary... ur better off just letting us run around shooting at umbrella swat team guys. There lucky the graphics look hot... cause thats all they got goin for them.

Batzi4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

@Virtual_Reality:

down hill? really? sales show otherwise. They added and changed alot of things since COD4 man and I am only talking about Infinity Ward games. Of course the core gameplay mechanics didn't change because why would they? They are almost perfect and every other shooter is copying them and making it a standard in their games and I wouldn't blame them. Don't change what is not broken.

badz1494358d ago

"sales show otherwise"

uh, because sales = quality, right?

some people are moaning bitches i tell ya. the isnt even out yet.

ThePsychoGamer4359d ago

Sounds like Capcom isn't even going to try and pretend that RE6 will be an actual survival horror game.

Fez4359d ago (Edited 4359d ago )

Oh no, remember just yesterday they said "we're moving away from action".
No way would they just say that to please fans of the old games.

They have to make an action game though, they just shouldn't pretend they're doing otherwise. Sure they could nerf the controls and give you back awful camera angles to make it scary again to please the tens of people who want it to go back to its roots but that would result in awful reviews and poor sales.

chadachada1234358d ago

You can have decent controls while still being survival-horror, though.

One of the primary ways to do so is to limit available ammo and give you options to run away instead of fighting every monster.

Kurylo3d4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Camera angles arent what make a survival horror game scary. Atmostphere is. Action games arent scary.. giving u tons of ammo and the ability to woop everything in site is not scary. When 1 zombie can kill you.. thats scary.

I dont want to journey all over the world fighting terrorists with bio weapons. I want a mystery to solve and strange creatures that make me piss myself that i dont understand. I want something that feels like it can exist in the real world... not the injection 1 second and building sized monster the next second...crap that we have been getting from the latest RE games.

Where the heck does the energy come from for the cells to grow that fast? I mean I understand if it kept on eating and eating and eating... but these monsters just materialize out of thin air.. its lazy writing cause they dont wanna be bothered with explaining anything... they just wanna say oh look its a new virus.

roadkillers4358d ago

To be fair, when the game was announced Capcom did say that Leon's story would be a throwback to old Resident Evil games when Chris's would be more action oriented... and to be honest I liked both types in the past.

LUCKYXS7LEVEN4358d ago

yea but i bet leons story would be shorter like 45 mins and then Chris will be the whole game . but if we expect something more well it's on the disc . We just have to pay for it to unlock more of leons chapters

Kurylo3d4358d ago

lol.. if we expect something more.. its on the disc.. i totally agree.. except the something more will be DLC that comes on the disc lol. Its capcom.. there greedy.

user54670074359d ago (Edited 4359d ago )

"Zombies will now wield axes, pipes and guns. If properly disarmed, these can be used aganist them."

"Zombies can now dash, jump and climb"

I hate how they are trying to call them Zombies to make people think that they have listened to complaints and brought back Zombies like the "good old days" when really they havent. These things arn't Zombies so I don't see why they are tyring to trick people into thinking that they are. They're basicaly an improved Las Plagas, I'm guessing the Master Plagas Sample Wesker took from Ada (need to see how he got it from her) has been fused with the T-Virus.

It's sad because people are actualy falling for this

"Players can move and shoot, run into cover and dive onto the ground and fire while on their backs."

Funny I remember an article not to long ago saying they are moving away from Action...pfffft yeah ok Capcom.

"All new Mercenaries Mode is available Day 1 for everybody, no DLC stipulations"

I hope to god they will FINALLY add differen't modes to this. I can't be the only one who wants a no Time Limit mode, I want to see how long I can last without getting those stupid clocks. They could add challenge modes aswell..."Kill 20 enemies with a Shotgun" "Disarm 10 enemies" "Don't kill any enemies for 5 minutes"

"A tramatic event occurs in Chris Redfield’s life during his mission in Lianshang, China. This completely changes his personality to a more cryptic and pessimistic Chris Redfield"

and yet his best friend, long term partner and maybe even a love interest Jill, the one who should be supporting him is no where to be seen and has been replaced by a no name character we'll probably not care about, just like Sheva, Jessica, Parker or any other character who they try and introduce instead of adding old fan favorites who havent been heard from for years...cough cough Barry/Rebbeca/Billy/Claire. Come on Capcom you do this to Chris and Jill isn't there to support him. Will we ever see a RE game where they are both together for the full game.

You would think because Bioterrorism has become such a big thing in RE that the surviving STARS members would all be involved in the BSAA and be with Chris on his mission. I know it would seem oer crowed but thats the point I;m trying to make get rid of the characters we won't care about and the add the ones we do care for. I want to know more about Barry Burton and Rebbeca, what have they been up to during RE4/5.

"Ada Wong is somehow responsible for the Tragic event in China, which sets Chris on a rampage after her."

This is what relaly bugs me...why would she do this, this isn't Adas style. She's not a cold hearted killer, she only kills the people the Organization tells her to. It's why she's saved Leon in the past when she was working for Wesker and wouldn't kill him. This Ada has to be a clone or someone else completely. Maybe Wesker did something to her when he went after the Master Plagas sample when she betrayed him.

I musn't be the only one who feels this way about Ada

Anyway I have low expectations for this, it just seems like they never took anything into account with all the complaints from RE5. I mean co-op is still in this, that says it all really.

ThatEnglishDude4359d ago

Nice post! I agree with what you put. Although, about Chris' life changing event - does anyone really give a shit about Chris Redfield as a character? I mean, none of the characters in Resident Evil have ever really been interesting. Why does Capcom insist on forcing these characters and tired old over arching plot down our throats?

LUCKYXS7LEVEN4358d ago

what really got me off the hype boat was when he said " were taking the best parts of RE4 and RE5"............wait, RE5 had best parts? which one because i sure felt pretty bored right after ch2

Redempteur4358d ago

Well nice post overall , nice ideas for mercenaries as well ..

For Ada , she has her reasons..i won't think too much about it before playing the full game

user54670074358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

"Well nice post overall "

Thank You

I agree that she has her reasons but to kill a ton of people by her own hand, it's really out of character. She's the type who wouldn't care who gets killed by someone else, like Umbrella killing people or the Organization but she's never came across the type to do so by her on hand unless they are trying to kill her or are in her way.

I really wanted the Leon and Ada relationship to develop more but now that they've changed her character to a massive cold hearted killer that will never happen, I feel like she may be killed off in this game.

I still have hopes though that it might not be her...I know I know the clone idea is ridiculous but if it means saving her character then so be it, it's not like Capcom havent already ruined the story already will silly plotlines. Either that or "her reasons" are good enough to justify her actions

You know it's funny she's appearing out of character and she dosen't quite look like her self...something seems off with her new design.

Redempteur4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Well maybe she was out of character in teh previous games ( since we all knew she had a hidden agenda ), maybe it's not really the same Ada as before , maybe something else .

as i said it's pointless to worry about Ada until we know her motives this time and the plot surronding this shangai mess ..maybe the mass killing is another accident she took responsability for ? The possibilities are endless ...

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

@MikeCosgrove

Ugh here we go again

"Players can move and shoot, run into cover and dive onto the ground and fire while on their backs."

I'm pretty sure every RE character in history could do this. The only difference in that they can now do it outside of cutscenes. Everyone watches in awe as Leon backflips and dodges 10 lasers at a time yet he does a simple dive and it's branded as too much Action, the game is ruined.

"Ada Wong is somehow responsible for the Tragic event in China, which sets Chris on a rampage after her."

We have no clue who Ada really is or her motivations. It feels like we've never really gotten a chance to know her like we know everyone else.

"She's not a cold hearted killer"

Well she stole the las plagas and (possibly) handed them to Wesker causing god knows how many deaths in Africa. Cold enough for ya?

" It's why she's saved Leon in the past"
Easy, she fell in love with him during the events of RE2. I'm guessing she doesn't get many people who actually care for her in her line of work.

"adding old fan favorites who havent been heard from for years...cough cough Barry/Rebbeca/Billy/Claire.&am p;am p;am p;qu ot;

Don't want you to think my whole post is negativity lol i completely agree but i can't imagine Chris allowing his baby sister to join the BSAA. And Billy wouldn't exactly make sense as i'm sure he's still a wanted criminal.

As for the zombies with guns and pipes i have but 1 thing to say..... /W//T//F/

user54670074358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Cutscenes are differen't to gameplay, theres been many games showing characters doing stuff which you can't do in the game, it's because it would feel out of place within the gameplay and genre of the game

"but i can't imagine Chris allowing his baby sister to join the BSAA. And Billy wouldn't exactly make sense as i'm sure he's still a wanted criminal."

Jill, Barry and Rebbeca could be with Chris, as I've said in my post above, the STAR members should of all joined the BSAA and be with Chris.

Claire should of been with Leon especialy since Leon bumps into Sherry

"Well she stole the las plagas and (possibly) handed them to Wesker causing god knows how many deaths in Africa. Cold enough for ya?"

Perhaps you should watch the end of RE4 again because Ada didn't give the sample to Wesker, she betrayed him and give him a fake one.

Quote from Ada

"Wesker isn't stupid, tough times lay in wait"

He must of came for her, I highly doubt she would let it go without a fight so I wonder if he did something to her, although since she called him a "fool" and a "colossal imbecile".

Kyosuke_Sanada4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Well said.

Capcom is looking at the wrong avenues to increasing the difficulty of zombies. Seeing that Leon's has his trademark roundhouse kick and Chris can now punch zombies into next Tuesday, developers believe by making them more human would balance it out which once again takes off major points in the horror experience.

The original Resident Evil series already had concepts which with careful tuning can not only bring back the "survival" in this former game but doesn't need to remove the current counter attacks so players will be limited.

I already gave an idea in a previous post months ago;

"You are armed with a knife, slicing it's eyes then following with a kick knocks the zombie to the floor but hand to hand combat never kills a zombie but gives a chance to escape. The distance a monster can be knocked away should be truncated as well.

If the zombie manages to grab a hand on you, these creatures are much stronger than a human so it will drain HP as he tries to grab a hold on you (3 times and you are dead at full HP). If you armed with a knife once again, as you mash the X button to escape, a "!" prompt can show in the ammo counter to signal you pressing a defensive button. This stab the monster in the head, cutting down the time you are in engaged with it and starts to make the monster bleed out to die a few seconds after. However, you are no longer armed with the knife until the creature is dead."

This shows that raising the bar in any genre never requires you to throw away what you already established but keep past elements and add improvements to them further establish the identity of the game.

GamersXTREME4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

@MikeCosgrove

Very well said. I must say you definitely put a good amount of thought into this. This is a comment you should put directly on the site of the article, if you don't mind. :)

I actually enjoyed reading everyone's responses here on the article so far! Interesting to see everyone's personal thoughts about how RE6 is panning out.

ChickeyCantor4358d ago

" like the "good old days"

Any RE fan knows that the base Virus developed to further stages.

It was bound to happen.

user54670074358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Any RE fan would of known they were going to use the normal T-Virus in RE5 before they added co-op.

Just normal, average Zombies like the ones in RE1-3.

They were going to be the main ememy in RE5 but they cut them out and added the Las Plagas again. If they were going to do that then it shows you that they didn't plan on developing the T-Virus futher into a new over the top virus.

They can do it...they just don't want to listen.

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B395d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot395d ago

It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason

I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.

Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.

RpgSama393d ago

I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.

That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.

MadLad393d ago

I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.

babadivad393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.

RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.

RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.

They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.

hotnickles393d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313393d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”

1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013

2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.

3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.

Immagaiden395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”

Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.

And death of the franchise?

RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.

RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it

TheEnigma313393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.

MIDGETonSTILTS17393d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
