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
GF365: "The iconic survival horror franchise Resident Evil boasts a great number of popular and memorable characters. Arguably, Leon S. Kennedy is the most popular and recognizable character aside from Jill Valentine. In this article, we'll be counting down every Resident Evil game Leon is featured in, ranked."
Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.
The modern entertainment industry has witnessed the rise of the Resident Evil franchise as one of its most renowned and celebrated multimedia phenomena. With numerous video games released across multiple platforms, it can be daunting for newcomers to determine where to commence their journey. So here is every main mainline Resident Evil Games ranked.
In preparation for the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake, let’s take the liberty to rank each of the mainline story instalments, providing players with a fundamental comprehension of the Resident Evil universe.
A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.
“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.
“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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
