First Resident Evil 6 Trailer is released

The first Resident Evil 6 trailer is upon us, the trailer reveals two main characters known as Leon and Chris. It also appears the location is China due to the writing on the signs. It also appears Ashley the presidents daughter from Resident Evil 4 also makes an appearance. It also seems that if it is Aishley she is now apart of the B.S.A.A group which Chris was a part of in Resident Evil 5.

Leon and Chris, perfect Resident Evil imminent

LarVanian4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

In every single one of my Resident Evil 6 wishlists I always included the 'Leon and Chris team up'. I think it's great that we will finally see the two leading men of Resident Evil fight side by side.

DasBunker4470d ago

i didnt see any walk and shoot.. and the shitty cover system is back.. ugh..

some cool action sequences, dark atmosphere and zombies at least

jony_dols4470d ago

This was certainly unexpected!

NukaCola4470d ago

This is a pretty impressive trailer. I can except the action/horror style. I see a lot of Dead Space here. A good balance between survival horror and action. I think there will be exploration and slow creepy moments. The way the city seems to be set up says so. But it's cool that the action seens aren't over the top and don't take away from the horror theme. Visuals and story look solid so far as well.

Only concerns is the gameplay. If this is game has lead feet while shooting, I wont get it. I hate that control sceme. Also please no Co-Op or MP please. Just make a long 15+ hour single player game.

honkyjesus4470d ago

It is like a homoerotic dream of yours?

Man, I would have liked to see more from the trailer than "Hey fans, look at Chris and Leon... and the effing President's daughter! The white one, the white President and daughter."

zeeshan4470d ago

I AM LOVING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM LOVING THIS SO MUCH BUT.... there seems to be too much action! Ok so should I give Capcom the benefit of the doubt? They might have wanted to work an action trailer out. I am so looking forward to a SCARY Resident Evil. Also, it looks like Ashley is back in the game judging by the character sound (the part where a woman says "THE WORLD NEEDS YOU:). Leon's character looks amazing! Chris still got those giant muscles!

Lets hope this is scary like RE1/2!

moparful994470d ago

Anyone else Super stoked over the slide mechanic?? I know everybody and ther mother wants a return to the horror survival of older titles but the action oriented vibe of resi 5 was fun for me..

mcstorm4470d ago

This looks like what I expected from Res 5. Cant wait for this game after that video it looks amazing.

LarVanian4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

@ honkyjesus

I think what you meant to say was 'Is it like a homoerotic dream of yours?' Not 'It is'.
And no it isn't. I'm just a long time fan of Resident Evil (despite being a bit disappointed with Resi 5) and Leon and Chris have always been my favourite characters. I'm also excited about seeing The Avengers this year, since I love the comics. But I suppose someone like you will just assume that it's just another 'homoerotic' dream because the Avengers are mostly made of male characters, oh well.

No gameplay in daylight!
Thats a start.

starchild4470d ago

That was a very well done trailer. Looks awesome. The graphics are extremely impressive as well.

honkyjesus4470d ago

Looked Wii-ish to me. Didn't look like a 2012 trailer for much of it.

Play2Win4469d ago

Wii-ish? The Trailer looks great with some ingame parts. Resi 5 already looked amazing maxed out on PC.

sikbeta4470d ago

Hmmm... so Leon and Chris, huh? well played Capcom...

kparks4470d ago

I must be the only one pissed off at this..... That was not resident evil they keep going in the wrong direction some one above said it looks like dead space well that's not a good thing if i wanted dead space i would play it. Look how great re4 was now look what we got a run and gun zombie shooter.. Looks like mw3 with zombies thats not how i picture the franchise this looked terrible!!

Bloodraid4469d ago

Too be fair, at least we're back to zombies and the urban environment that the original games had. The story (seems) to be going back to where it should be.

However, the gameplay seem to have evolved a bit further away from their roots, and just seems to build upon the mechanics that 4 and 5 have laid out, which isn't really surprising to be honest.

I was a bit disappointed when I saw the trailer though, because it started off so well only to shift to a more action oriented trailer. We'll see where it goes though. I hope that it'll be good, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll probably pick it up either way though, because I own quite of the games.

orange-skittle4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

Man, shut up! Look at the RE movies and tell me if there's anything different. Resident Evil hasn't been the classic way for years and that could be a good thing. No one wants tank movements and clunky gameplay any longer. Even your Dead Space comment was stupid. Just like you stated earlier, IF YOU LIKE RESIDENT EVIL 4, THEN PLAY RESIDENT EVIL 4(in reference to your Dead Space comment). DONT BUY IT!! If everyone is happy with the new direction as an action horror game...so be it. Every game evolves including Max Payne and these changes are for the better. If the developer always listened to nostalgic people like you, we'd see more of them filing bankruptcy because more of the same is not good for business.

@Bloodraid-RE was based around a solid story. RE5 campaign was lengthy and I imagine this would be too. When dealing with an outbreak involving 70K people, you can't expect slow walkers moaning around. This is complete mayhem and survival. Like he said "THIS IS RACCOON CITY ALL OVER AGAIN." The new direction is going to be awesome because they listened to the criticism. Cant make everybody happy. The cover system is here and I am sure walk and shoot will be included.

OmegaSlayer4470d ago

Very cool.
Very excited.
I liked the first 3 REs though I never found them scary, what gave anxiety was only the locked visuals and the "what's behind the corner" scene.
Resident Evil 4 is a gaming masterpiece. Period.
Resident Evil 5 was a great action game, I understand how fans might not like it, but it was a hell of a great game, though messed so much in the control section.
Silent Hill was surely more scary, and Dead Space too just with the noises and lights.
So imho Resident Evil 6 has to learn from Dead Space a lot about scarying people.
Though...I absolutely loved what I saw in the trailer, a really high production product, maybe the biggest thing ever come out of Japan.
I must say for me the cherry on the pie would have been Jill and Ada in the trailer.
I think they will be in the game for sure in a way or another, maybe a DLC since we're talking about Capcom.
Anyway, thanks for this Capcom

orange-skittle4469d ago (Edited 4469d ago )

@Omega-You're a true fan and it shows. I also agree that RE6 is going to be huge and one of the biggest games to come out Japan this year. I also agree that Jill and Ada might make it in DLC of they don't touch on them somewhere in the game.

@Pam-You're right...where's Billy. BTW, is Barry still alive?

salinidus4469d ago

check out our gaming channel were discussing resident evil 6 in this episode.

Chris, oh man...he has been way over used latley. They should of used someone who has been out of action for a long time.

DarkBlood4470d ago

speaking of that be i the only one who wonders where the hell Billy is :P

Legionaire20054470d ago

Claire too man didn't see her since code Veronica maybe in 7 teaming up with Jill.

Tdmd4470d ago

@Legionaire2005

Yes, and after Code Veronica, she was just becoming something of an badass, not just an survivor. Really wish they'd give her a chance to shine again.

thedude444470d ago

gameplay seems too fast paced for me, i miss the old school resident evil games.

SockeyBoy4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

agreed, but at least Capcom have taken us back to zombies! I hope the normal zombies don't run. When walkers slowly hunt you down it seems more of a horror. Please Capcom let there be horror!

thedude444470d ago

yeah i miss the walkers, they made the game more intense than running zombies! crazy but true.

Angrymorgan4470d ago

@thedude

Totally agree, where's the survival horror?
This just seems like another action game....with zombies.

Sadly the resi I remember died a long time ago :(

Sevir4470d ago

And it seems alot of the complaints against 5 like the tank sluggish movement is gone! This is what resident evil 5 should have been! and it seems its Zombies and las Plagas! So its a conversion of worlds as it seems! I'm totally excited More so than i have ever been for a resident evil game!!! Capcom may have have my money 11-20-2012

kaveti66164470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

The fans of the original resident evil probably wouldn't be able to stand playing the original resident evil to this day. You guys are chasing nostalgia. You want to get that feeling back that you had when you were younger, and it's not going to happen. I tried playing Resident Evil 2 three years ago and I couldn't stand it after 20 minutes. The zoomed out camera angles, the rigid movement, the sluggish controls that I didn't even notice or mind when I was a little kid were suddenly unbearable.

Resident Evil 6 isn't casting off what made Resident Evil a good game. Fluid controls and faster pacing are the result of technological advancements in game development. They're not a deliberate "EFF YOU" to the fans of the original. It may be too early to tell, but the trailer showed us zombies, it showed us night time gameplay, and it showed us the potential for some scares. These elements were severely lacking in Resident Evil 5. It seems to me that no matter what Capcom does to address the fans' concerns, a small little hate group will always crop up to poop on the party.

thedude444470d ago

yeah, resident evil isn't what it was back in the day :P

Darkfocus4469d ago

Just replayed the GC RE1 remake the other day. It still holds up.

adorie4470d ago

I don't think capcom will ever go back to the roots of resident evil. this still looks like RE5 with different scenery and varied characters.

RE will be what it became @ RE4. I can't even take it serious any more, since the main people are no longer with capcom.

OhMyGandhi4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

I agree.
to me, that trailer was average, and the music didn't fit the mood at all. I should feel panic and fear, not a moral obligation to suit up and fight in the military. There were more snare drums in this trailer then i've heard in all of the Call of Dutys' combined.

What they showed was an action game. It was an over the top action game where you are not alone, there are at least 10 soldiers per square foot, and the sense of dread/fear was non existent.

I want to play a game that creeps me out.
Did anyone finish this trailer thinking that this game is going to be scary?

EDIT:
it's also amazing that people are saying "wow they went back to zombies"...That's how desperate we are for a developer to stay true to their franchise and their fanbase.

wiggles4470d ago

I'm surprised no one said your action comment sooner. The sound, the gunfights, and the running into cover all scream action games. I am happy to see RE get updated controls, but it's sad to see it looks like there won't be much horror according to this trailer. I hope that they release another trailer showing the emphasis they plan on putting into the horror part of this game.

Tanir4470d ago

guys only reason the walkers seemed scary is because back then the gameplay was slow, clunky, the aiming was non existant aswell as combat, the game was a puzzle game, with zombies as obstacles that you just ran from, didn't shoot.

and buy the time itts RE4 these guys are trained zombie killers, wouldn't make sense if it was slow paced, because leon and chris would decimate all of them with a knife.

thats why their are tons more zombies now and its in a city which is epic, man i cant wait for this!

kparks4470d ago

Agreed im pissed wtf were thery thinking making a run and gun zombie shooter looked like crap 2 me.. Keep it old school

Another action-shooter with zombies.Game-studios have great originality.

Pikajew4470d ago (Edited 4470d ago )

What else would they use instead of zombies for a game that is not sifi or fantasy? They cant use people and its not an alien invasion game.

Coolmanrico4470d ago

The series has been useing zombies since 1996. Go talk about orginality elsewhere.

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

TheEnigma313394d ago (Edited 394d 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.
