Not Zombie...just saying. These really shouldn't be called Zombies

QuinnSullivan4281d ago

Title has been changed. Thank you for the advice. [not being sarcastic].

QuinnSullivan4281d ago

Errr, that came off sarcastically.

Mike_Tha_Hero4280d ago

Wow can we give the zombie shit a rest already? Accept the game for what it is.

Irishguy954280d ago

What makes you think i'm not accepting it? I'm just saying, the title used to say you could play as zombies(t Virus ones). But you play as C virus guys in this, run around with a machete

helghast1024280d ago

I have accepted the game for what it is.
A piece of shit not worthy of bearing the Resident Evil name with the only connection to the series being the names of some characters.

See? Accepted, dealt with.

Mike_Tha_Hero4280d ago

Yet you went out of your way to click on the story. Get a life my dude.

user54670074281d ago

Wow an online mode aswell thats like the one in Dead Space 2

This is game is going to suck balls

RIP Resident Evil

LOGICWINS4280d ago

Agreed. I hate it when games add extra modes that add more value to the package.

Skate-AK4280d ago

Haha I really can't tell if you were being sarcastic or actually agree.

Irishguy954280d ago

Agreed Logic, more content = ****

Christopher4280d ago

Depends on how much it detracts from the quality of the single player game, Logic.

LOGICWINS4280d ago (Edited 4280d ago )

Just because resources were used for other modes doesn't automatically mean that resources were taken away from the main game. For example, just because Dead Space 2 had a multiplayer component doesn't mean that resources were taken away from the single player component.

You don't know how many resources devs intended to allocate for each portion of the game. The single player portion of RE6 was most likely completed WAAAY before this mode was even conceived.

Assuming that RE6 was a single player campaign only game(no multiplayer, no extra modes), can you "prove" that Capcom would have used their extra resources to make the SP game better than the one we are getting now?

***Just because resources were used for other modes doesn't automatically mean that resources were taken away from the main ***

I didn't say it did. I said, specifically, that it depends on how much it DOES detract from the quality of the single player game. That could mean it doesn't (Zero Detraction).

***For example, just because Dead Space 2 had a multiplayer component doesn't mean that resources were taken away from the single player component.***

You don't know that it wasn't. But, we do know that many people felt that multiplayer did not add anything worthwhile to the game and felt that some of the 'horror' element was removed from it to make it more of an action game. Does this mean that focusing only on SP could have made a better single player experience? I don't know, but with the lackluster multiplayer, I think many people wouldn't have minded to find out. Or, they wouldn't have minded a much better multiplayer experience for the time and effort that was put into it.

***The single player portion of RE6 was most likely completed WAAAY before this mode was even conceived. ***

You don't know that, which you should know since your preceding statement said just that.

***Assuming that RE6 was a single player campaign only game(no multiplayer, no extra modes), can you "prove" that Capcom would have used their extra resources to make the SP game better than the one we are getting now?***

No, but I can say that if the single player game is lackluster compared to the previous games that they should have invested more money into it. If they couldn't, it could very easily be determined that money that was used to make the multiplayer game could have been used to improve the single player experience.

Would it be 100% accurate? No, but it would still be a fair assessment of the situation. Does that mean the multiplayer sucks because the single player experience doesn't hold up well? No, but that's beside the point, isn't it?

Again, I never claimed they had, but I said that it depends on how much it detracts from the quality of the single player game. I didn't say it did, I said if it does.

with over 500 bodies coding, animating, processing and developing this game for the last 3 years I doubt this mode was just tacked on 3 months ago!

I hate when gamers who complain about added content and assume its tacked on, You dont know how much resources was dedicated to added content or how much time planning and effort was put into having it up and running. how do you just assume its taking away from the single player experience!

I'm not sure why you haters care soo much about the game anyway when you say you hate this game, and how much its going to suck!. if it sucks to you right now, save yourself the trouble and disappointment and stay the F*** off the threads that pertain to this game!

Blackpool4280d ago

Hmm, haven't heard DLC yet lol.

DigitalRaptor4280d ago (Edited 4280d ago )

Normally I think that the old excuse that adding multiplayer detracts from the single player experience is a load of crap, but in this case it definitely hadn't done it any favours. With RE6 it seems that Capcom are trying to build a game that offers a lot of content and value rather than focus on what series fans want to see.

If you don't mind playing an action game and are looking forward to it, then at least respect the ones who are pissed off about the lack of survival horror because they're probably bigger fans of the series than you are. At any rate this "extra option" is not the first sign that RE6 is not the game many of us care about anymore, and is sadly becoming a franchise of similar stature. Unnecessary gratuitous nudity, live (not zombie) enemies that shoot back at you, the lack of the scares that are expected from the franchise.and numerous other things.

The story at least looks interesting, which is why a rental is the best Capcom are gonna get from me.

Wow not a DLC package thanks capcom

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.

-Foxtrot402d 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

FallenAngel1984402d ago (Edited 402d 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.
