Resident Evil 6 Review | Gamer Sector

Resident Evil 6 bears an overwhelming mantle. The new installment in a franchise that just two numbered games ago completely revolutionized the way third person shooters were played is now having to carve a place for itself in the world in a world where others have taken its innovations and built on them. | GamerSector.com

I love this game. The Leon campaign is a mix of old RE and RE4. There is not much emphasis on puzzles, but still, there is some room for exploration. And also the game is way harder than RE4-5; so you end up without ammo herbs and ammo lol XD.

Rent it, and if you like it buy it :). The final game is a lot better than the 2 demos.

TIP: Change the camera speed from 5 to 1.

I've only been holding off to play it with a friend split screen because I heard the ai partner can ruin the fun. Is the ai partner that bad or is still playable single-payer?

RaiTheNoblesse4216d ago (Edited 4216d ago )

A.I. is ok, the NCP never dies and saves you a lot
(press B (360) to call them, and hold B + press up on the digicross to send them attack someone)

play it solo first! the co-op takes away some suspens and atmosphere...

after playing the prelude and the first (ok-ish) Leon chapter, play the (great) rest on veteran!
(use melee-, knife- and ground sliding-moves a lot)

some seemling hard bosses often have a simple clou, als on veteran. (RE6 Veteran = RE4 Normal)

Thanks for the info! Bubble +

people expect too much from every game. I didnt expect RE6 to be like RE 1 2 3. the story change and the virus is more advance to the point the enemies could use weapons. Dont be expecting similar RE games. I feel that RE6 tried to give back that survival part and it did with less ammo and herbs. Leons story is by far the best that shows this. I still think RE6 is a really good game that people will enjoy but with all the negative review people wont be playing it. I say and many say dont go by what the reviewers say. If you still feel that its not worth buying it then i suggest renting its a game worth playing.

RaiTheNoblesse4216d ago

this Game is great!!
(was worried at first after REORC and the demo)

imo RE6 should played solo first (for the atmosphere and cool moments)....and not played like COD/a shooter

when using the melee and knife a lot (besides the groundslide move) the gameplay develops.., and is very playable on veteran for the first playthrough....

I still wish more care had been taken with regards to the fluency of the cutscenes. The camera i've (kind of) got used to, but the cutscenes are horribly jarring.

If Capcom found a way to fix the camera with a patch, well, that would be something. It's a bloody nightmare in confined spaces and I hate the way it gives you a button press prompt to climb down obstacles. I thought that was old fashioned in 5. And the cover system is infuriating in narrow corridors.

Finally, the part in Leon's campaign in the subway tunnel is dumb and lazy game design. Pure and simple. I was on the other side of the tunnel and still got the train splat cutscene because I hadn't done what the game wanted me too.

The game is just odd. People keep saying it's a western style TPS but it isn't that. It feels like Capcom have attempted it but have only been told via chinese whispers what a western style TPS is.

It shows in short bursts wat it could of been but it's merely ok. It's average, mediocre, satisfactory. Those are words I say with sadness, and whilst I don't agree that it deserves a 3 out of 10 I can see why someone would be so angry with what they are playing that they would bestow it with one.

RaiTheNoblesse4216d ago (Edited 4216d ago )

in the tunnel, you were then on the wrong side of the tunnel..., at one point ya don't need to press A+X, but have to be on the "right" side...

coversystem is not always ideal, like when trying to throw grenades.. but it's fine (needs some getting used too)..

in tight spaces don't "aim" but use the "melee" to smash zombies against the wall

cutscenes are imo good or great!

Pintheshadows4216d ago

The cutscenes are good cutscenes but the way they tear you out of the game by displaying a black screen before hand is pretty archaic. In this day and age i'd expect them to blend seemlessly into the action.

'in the tunnel, you were then on the wrong side'

I was on the side with no train yet I still got hit. I wasn't therefore, doing what the game wanted me too. That is bad game design.

Oh, and with regards to the cover system, the enemies in Chris's campaign have guns so melee isn't always an option. The problem came when I was attempting to shoot an enemy in a narrow corridor and it repeatedly snapped me to the wall by my side leaving me vulnerable. Just frustrating. They should of put cover snap on L2 rather than the GPS.

Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.

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

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

Terry_B403d ago

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

-Foxtrot403d 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.

RpgSama401d 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.

MadLad401d 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.

babadivad401d ago (Edited 401d 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.

hotnickles401d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313401d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984403d ago (Edited 403d 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.

Immagaiden402d ago (Edited 402d 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

TheEnigma313401d ago (Edited 401d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS17401d ago

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