GameDynamo - "Building upon the template of Resident Evil 4 and 5, Resident Evil 6 is a third person co-op shooter. Players control one of the three duos: Chris and Piers, Leon and Helena, or Jake and Sherry, as they discover a plot by the Neo Umbrella Corporation to execute a worldwide bio-terrorism scheme."
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'm confused..... Some reviewers give this game very high scores and others very low. You don't really see anything in between.
Gamers on the other hand without exception hate this game. At least the ones I talked too.
So, who is wrong here??
Leons campaign in resi 6 is fucking brilliant and is what resi 5 should have been. It's at least 8/9 out of 10. Then you have two other main campaigns along with Ada, which while not quite as good as Leons, are fun and add longevity. They certainly don't bring the full game package down to a 4/5! While pure survival horror fans may need to look elsewhere or pine for resi 1 or 2, the rest of us are playing the game for FUN, the cheesy story/dialogue, and shooting zombies in the face.
The only people i see hating is those who haven't bought the game. Everyone i know is loving it.
I'm surprised not to see many comments on any review that has come lately, hasnt really been any news/rumors about re6 that has been in the 500+ degree range. Its probably because everyone is actually-most likely playing the game! I casually check n4g for the news and I always see haters everywhere commenting on different reviews and the attention to the reviews NOW are pretty low, people must be playing it. Its no surprise, I found the game entertaining after getting used to it, its not great buts its not the worst neither, its traditionally usual for me to get angry at any RE game for not being spot on, but I got used to RE6 like I got used to RE4 and 5 and it is in a FEW ways better than them both...but thats just me
