Resident Evil 6: First Review Score Is In

NowGamer: The world's first Resident Evil 6 review score is in - but is it any good?

[DivineAssault]

I wont be getting this game.. Borderlands is much better to me if the demo is anything to go by

[thorstein]

And Borderlands (I assume you are talking of 2) received a 10/10 from PTOM.

[zeeshan]

I am sad, no scratch that. I am very, VERY sad to say that this will be the first major RE title that I won't be buying. It's just not the Resident Evil I grew up. I know things change but to see something losing it's very soul!? That hurts most of us, the old time Resident Evil fans :(

[aaron5829]

just recently downloaded the demo with anticipation as i loved the co-op gameplay from RE5...

But... oh my.. RE6... sorry guys.. but meh...

It just feels like a 3rd person shooter, and the enemies are mutants...

[antz1104]

"This is arguably the best co-op game available on PS3 alongside Borderlands 2"

Wow, I kinda doubt that. Review lost some credit to me there. Sorry but pass.

[ConstipatedGorilla]

I just played the demo. I don't see what everyone is so upset about. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and enjoyed the old Resident Evils too, but you all knew since RE4 that the series' gameplay had taken a turn and you're acting like it's some big surprise still. I think the demo was good for the type of game it's become and I'm looking forward to going through it. It's time to get over the fact that the old gameplay style is not coming back guys.

[Parasyte]

For me, it's not so much the fact that the gameplay changed, I loved RE4, it's the story that has started turning me off.

RE4 was a great game with a good story, but RE5 was lack-luster at best.

RE6 just holds no appeal to me.

[dkgshiz]

Well, those are two very different games. So....yep. Regardless RE6 to me is nothing more the purely an action shooter with zero horror. Japanese devs have been full of disappointments this gen. SE, Capcom....what have you been doing this gen? Stop destroying yourselves. I made a comment on an RE6 article on IGN a few days back. It was about RE6 being an action shooter rather then a horror game. So many anal pained COD children disagreed with me. Goes to show how gaming communities are these days.

[strauser360]

It was probably because of how unoriginal your comment was. Anybody who cant see the obvious evolution of resident evil as a series must be blind or something.

[Xalaris]

"Goes to show how gaming communities are these days".
Haha, nice. So you're saying N4G is some type of exceptional gaming community that should be taken into account? Why would you even care if people disagreed with you on some gaming site? Opinions are opinions dude, people here on N4G need to realize that most people don't give a sh** if you won't be picking up this game due to whatever lame reason or any hate that is inclined towards Capcom for "ruining" the evolving integrity of the series. I agree with you for the most part about Japanese game companies like Square destroying themselves, but the website comment was unwarranted and unoriginal.

[AAWELLS09]

Wait.....have you already played RE6?

[morganfell]

The game becomes the movie which then becomes the game.

[Dms2012]

Its because they (Japanese devs) have lost their identity in trying to follow western developers. The Japanese devs should have continued to evolve in their own manner with turn based RPG's and third person action, instead of shooters. But regardless, I will still purchase RE6, because the Leon portion of the demo did have a bit of RE DNA in it.

[MGS_fanatico_]

@Morganfell
Nice twist on the Superman Returns reference there, haha! :)

[Bobby Kotex]

They both look shitty.

[moegooner88]

I am surprised by the amount of people who comment just to hate on the game, i have always found Play UK magazine reviews trustworthy, so this just sealed the deal for me.

[Lucretia]

actually, usually more haters comment on games than fans.

they do it because they are gonna play it anyway but wanna seem Coooooooool cause they hate something awesome.

If anyone like Co-Op this game should NOT be skipped.

[dennett316]

Why can't you people just accept that there are people who simply don't like the games that you like?
It's OK for us all not to like the same stuff...we're not doing it because it's cool to rag on a popular game, we're doing it because we genuinely don't like the damn thing.

Resi 4 was great. Resi 5 was Resi 4 with less imagination and a murkier colour pallet. Resi 6 is a game that might as well not be called Resident Evil any more. I played the demo, and it bored me to tears. Gears of War and Uncharted both do that kind of 3rd person action much better. It was horribly scripted, with obvious zombies sitting on the ground that you can shoot through, then you take another step, and suddenly the game decides they can be shot.
The pistol is weedy as hell - I know, it's just a pistol, but the basic pistol in Resi 4 and even 5 felt more powerful than this listless crap. The field of view is too narrow, which while creating a sense of claustrophobia, is making people feel motion sick. Finally, the lighting sucks. They're trying desperately hard to make it look atmospheric, but it's just ludicrously dark in some corners even when there's light sources nearby that should be stopping that happening. It's a cheap scare tactic, and it comes off as lame. Pitch black, take a step, suddenly able to see fine...that's just cheap.

Sorry I have a different opinion to you, but the game is simply not for me and will be gladly skipping it. It's generic, it's dull and it has no personality of it's own. Say what you will about a designer like Suda 51, at least his games have their own identity. Resident Evil 6 is so "Me too" it hurts.

[GrahamGolden]

gears of horde awesome ?
oups sry i mean "RESIDENT EVIL"

where is the survival ?
where is the horror ?
where is the loneliness ?
where are the puzzles ?
where is the atmosphere ?

why i have an A.I 24/7 holding my hands tellin me what to do,when and how
why gazzilions of bullets in every single corner
why can u finish a lvl by just kicking
why the camera is stick to the hero @ss making it hard to see your surroundings
why the controls are so much horrible
why the game isnt scary anymore

in overall WHY IT IS CALLED RESIDENT EVIL ???

[Bathyj]

Yeah, maybe the ones complaining are fans too. Fans that feel the series has gone downhill, and dont like the direction.

Its a fair concern, and not really fair to just label people haters.

I can remember rushing to the shop after work to buy the original so I've been playing Resident Evil for a while. Its not my fault everything has to be an action game nowdays.

[Carl_Shocker]

Really and when did you start to become a RE Lucretia....Oh yeah like most people who call people "haters" for pointing out how crap RE6 looks, probably when Capcom ruined the series which then started to appeal to you.

Now that you like it, your trying to push old fans out and silence it.

Why don't you guys just go on at them to create a game like this in the form of a new IP and let them continue RE as a HORROR game, is it because RE is such a classic franchise that you sound retro or cool for now liking a classic franchise. Both fans will then be happy...problem solved.

[XboxBoy]

Hahaha yeah kind of like when you hate on DmC. Yeah gotcha!

[mt]

@GrahamGolden

your post is intended for old school RE fan only . this generation of RE fans won't get what are you saying.

[Digimortal]

@mt

Of course fans will, there are fans out there like myself who accept the direction the series has gone. Then again i don't play it for the gameplay, i play it for the story.

[jeseth]

@ Dennett316

Why can't some people hold off on overly generic, stereotypical criticism until the game is out and people have actually played it.

The things you don't like and are critiquing could be easily said about any game prior to its release if you've played enough video games. Its like some of you people just love tearing games apart without even having played them. Kind of sad really.
Then, after you've indirectly insulted people that actually may like the game by acting like you are some divine judge of games and only play the most innovative and creative of games, you make it seem like its even their fault to question your holier than thou gaming status by saying " Why can't you people just accept that there are people who simply don't like the games that you like? " or " It's OK for us all not to like the same stuff...we're not doing it because it's cool to rag on a popular game, we're doing it because we genuinely don't like the damn thing. " ... and the game isn't out yet.

Then you make a statement like RE4 had a more colorful ... yeah color, not colour .... pallet (does using the term color pallet make you think you are more intelligent? To me it just makes you look like you are trying too hard to sound intelligent). DID you even play RE4 or 5? Or is this more generic crticism because RE4 was entirely Gray, Black, and Brown!!!! Except for the fancy purple outfits the gaurds had at the end. And when had the 9mm in RE ever been powerful? EVER? No, another piece of evidence you are just making crap up ... without head shots the 9mm takes forever to put enemies down in ALL RE games. Try again.

Then the things you complain about are what made original RE's scary and tense. Overly dark areas and poor sight lines. RE and RE2 were nothing but bad camera angles where you could only here your enemy but couldn't see a damn thing. Now in RE6 this is a problem?

Just say it, you hate just to hate. You don't like video games and just troll to whatever people will agree with.

Lucretia hits the nail on the head with his comment. If you don't like a game that hasn't even hit the shelves yet than good for you, cause you didn't even play it enough to really make up your own mind ... the media and the masses made it up for you. We don't care how much you want to pick apart something you havem't played and some of us are just tired of people using the internet to grandstand like some kind of gaming elitest ... games are supposed to be fun. Thats it. Thats all. Entertainment. Get over yourself.

[Unlimax]

@jeseth

What is the difference between criticism and hatred in your eyes ?

[HiddenMission]

@jeseth and @Lucretia
You both are spot on after 2 decades of gaming and being apart of the online gaming community it's very clear that you are both spot on.

It really has become cool to hate anything that has any form of change or that is popular. This isn't just the loud mouth commentors it's the "press" and I use that term lightly for many of the big news outlets.

[Ben_Grimm]

I definitely agree with Lucretia and i SERIOUSLY agree with Jeseth.

Funny these people already hate a game that hasn't even been released yet. Or judging the whole thing on a demo.

"Resi 4 was great. Resi 5 was Resi 4 with less imagination and a murkier colour pallet."

I'm glad Jeseth called you out on this because I would seriously like to know what earlier RE was rich in colour and depth. Throughout all of RE5 was set in the daytime so I don't see where the murkier comes in.

Its funny that some people complain that a series hasn't changed enough then when it does change those fans complain it changed too much!

Now to play both sides, (hehehe)

I am dissapointed that the zombies (Las Plagas) are carrying weapons. I know it has something to do with the evolving story and how it was always Umbrella/Tricell intention to make super soldiers. But it does feel RE is succumbing to the popularity of modern military shooters.

Anyways I will still pick this up and play the sh*t out of it.

[Anon1974]

I remember all the complaints regarding RE5, and I had an absolute blast with that game. While it wasn't the best Resident Evil game when it came to atmosphere and horror, man that game was co-op done right.

I may be disappointed that this RE isn't like the RE games of old, but I'll be damned if I'll let a stellar, co-op action game pass me by simply because "ew. It has RE in the name but it's not really scary." I'm going to enjoy it for exactly what it is.

[die_fiend]

We don't enjoy your comments

[GrahamGolden]

it wasnt the best in every single aspect,infact it is the worst resident evil game to date..fan or not just suck it up and deal with it

res 2 and 1 remains the kings nuff said.

[kingdavid]

Played revelations? Now that game was a step in the right direction. RE 5 gameplay with moving and shooting, tight corridors, fun gameplay, backtracking. It wasnt really scary but it was a fusion of resident evil new and old.

Dunno how they went from that to RE6. Really weird decision at capcom.

[Xalaris]

"We"?

[SAE]

exactly :)

it's not like we are against you people who hate this game , we have hate to it too for not being resident evil but we won't mis the chance to play a good game ...

[Captain Qwark 9]

may have been a bad resident evil game but it was still a pretty damn good game nonetheless. i expect the same thing from this.

[Acquiescence]

because of the demo, which is unequivocal awfulness. Maybe the full product is better than the demo would have folks believe, but it's hard to see it that way.

[dennett316]

It's possible, but that demo is what they chose to sell their game, to get people interested. For me, the series has just gone too far in the wrong direction. 5 was bad enough, this one takes everything I didn't like about 5 and magnifies it.

Unless they've radically changed the mechanics of it all, the demo and it's idiotic characterization (Leon is seriously trying to talk down a zombie? Really? He knows better than that after all these years. It was done to add drama to the scene, but it just doesn't fit his character. That's something a new guy to the series would try to do) and dull gameplay are what we'll be stuck with for 4 campaigns. No thanks, I've got too many good games waiting to be played to waste my time with something that will only sorely disappoint.

[DasBunker]

People are entitled to "hate" if they want, it's their opinion; specially since with every new RE they fawk things up even more and the essence of what it was is completely lost.

When they started with the daylight environments, forced co-op, cover and "zombies" or w/e with guns, it went to sh!t IMO.

Every Leon RE game had the record of being a pretty decent entry, sucks it might be ruined now.

[helghast102]

I've found Play UK reviews to be the worst actually

[Aceman18]

i played the demo with a friend of mine on sunday, and we really enjoyed what we played. it may not be like the old RE games, but it doesnt bother me at all there are more important things to worry about than the fact this doesnt feel like old RE.

i also enjoyed RE5 too.

[2pacalypsenow]

the only story line i liked was Leon might get this later when on sale

[GTRrocker666]

Yeah same here... except for the part about buying it

[ChunkyLover53]

The game is going to get great reviews, just like RE5, but people will still complain I guess. I am going to get it, guess I'll pick it up on 360 since they get DLC first. I think the game looks fantastic.

[Imalwaysright]

Yes well sequels of the biggest and most acclaimed franchises will more often than not be given great scores regardless of their quality. FF13 had more than 20 9+/10 reviews. GTAIV clearly doesnt deserve all the high scores that it got, COD games, Skyrim despite being a broken mess on all platforms got its fair share of perfect scores... its a trend in the gaming industry.

if that RE6 demo is anything to go by, even forgeting the RE name on the cover, the game is subpar for an action TPS. Piss poor camera, terrible A.I, cluncky counter intuitive controls and sloppy cover system. Maybe Capcom fixed those issues on the final build but im not holding my breath.

[helghast102]

That's what happens when the game is advertised all over the site/magazine that reviews it.
Can you really call that a fair review?

Do you remember GameSpot and Kane & Lynch?

[The_Klank]

That's different, the guy who reviewed K&L slammed it, dispite all the the ads, that's why he got canned.

[asmith2306]

I can't imagine it will get low scores. I didn't like the demo at all anyway so I am on the fence about buying it. I thought Leons campaign was ok, Chris's I stopped playing a minute in and didn't even play the third campaign. The controls and camera are so clunky or something. Made for a bad experience.

[Der_Kommandant]

"This is arguably the best co-op game available on PS3 alongside Borderlands 2"

Yeah whatever

[asmith2306]

I know, Pixel Junk Monsters is second best co-op game on PS3 :)

[uYaSouL]

lol people on this site are such crybabies.

[jeseth]

Hahahaha. Perfect. Cheers!

[JellyJelly]

Rayman Origins is a blast in co-op as well.

[Megaton]

Capcom will make sure it gets good reviews from "journalists". It will follow the trend of all recent RE games. Great media reviews, poor fan reviews. The series is unrecognizable these days. More in line with Army of Two than Resident Evil.

[Carl_Shocker]

"Capcom will make sure it gets good reviews from "journalists"

So true...if they don't give it a good score Capcom will never give anything back to them...and they need behind the scenes first looks for new games they produce because it's what sells their magazine or gets hits for their website.

[Silver_Edge]

@Carl_Shocker

I'm sorta surprised your "buddy" hasn't shown up yet, but seeing as I have a differing opinion than yours and notice you making bold claims as to why this received positive scores, I have no choice but to carry the torch.

Remember I'm not trying to fight you or for you to take this personally. It's just my point of view.

"So true...if they don't give it a good score Capcom will never give anything back to them...and they need behind the scenes first looks for new games they produce because it's what sells their magazine or gets hits for their website."

I have just a tiny bit of trouble accepting this claim you've made because the very same publication gave Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City a 33% which I'm inclined to perceive as being a pretty low score.

Now, regardless of Capcom not internally developing the game, it still holds the Capcom trademark and branding, which in turn makes it a Capcom product.

Yet, Capcom has given the same publication a "first look" for a "new game they produced".

I think you're really reaching for a reason as to why this game is getting a good score and why you believe it doesn't deserve it regardless of seeing the score. It kind of reminds me of a conspiracy theorist...but hey, 3rd times the charm for the reviews.

[Biohazard8860]

Rent day 1 enjoy day 1 dlc.

[claud3]

I will give it a go. Rent it first and judge it that way

[DigitalRaptor]

Smart move. It's not like Capcom deserves our benefit of the doubt after chasing the shooter fans to the detriment of the series and its fans.

[Blastoise]

I'm not sold. Not after the demo anyway. I was actually really looking forward to it until I played the demo

[taquito]

can't freaking wait

my wife and i love resident evil games, this is a good wholesdome family game :)

just wish it would be on pc day one with console release, cannot decide to wait or get it for ps3/360, i know it will look and run insanely better on my pc, but i am so impatient, i ended up just playing resident evil 5 twice, i saved mercanaries mode for pc.....hmmmmmm

and also soon x-com enemy unknown....mmmmmmmmmm.....so tasty, pc obviously! then assassins creed 3.....

holidays ROCK for gaming!

[Bathyj]

Wait for PC, since you hate consoles.

[taquito]

i dont hate them, i like ps2 and gamecube also, but when the choice is last gen vs current, i take current(pc)

[MasterD919]

I learned my lesson with Operation Raccoon City...looks can be deceiving.

[Kos-Mos]

You do know that there were western people developing ORC? Resident Evil 6 is developed by japanese.

[dennett316]

Yes, Japanese people desperately trying to mimic the western style at the expense of any kind of individual identity.
The same thing happened to Silent Hill, and look how that series has turned out with it's later entries.

I don't know what bug got up Japanese developers asses that made them think they need to copy Western games so much, Japan-centric games have traditionally sold just fine over here over the years...that's how the likes of Silent Hill and the old Resi became so popular in the first place.

[yesmynameissumo]

I quite enjoyed ORC.

[nyobzoo]

I thought the 1st review was a 9 from OPM Italy

[claud3]

We all know the demo has bugs and it fails to appeal... but I guess the full game has a lot to live up to

[Kran]

Lots of people claiming to have found the "first review"... :/

[jaymart2k]

OMG, Chris Campaign is the worse, shocking <Sarcasm>

But really, Capcom need to kill off Chris.

[jeseth]

Maybe they can kill off Chris with some kind of Liver/Kidney failure from all the steriods he took leading up to RE5!!! Seriously, when I started RE5 I was like Holy

Hahahaah.

[jaymart2k]

Fun Fact, game demos are early builds. It takes around 2 weeks to build.

Then add 2 more weeks it takes Microsoft/Sony to accept it.

That's 4 weeks + 3 weeks from demo to full game release.

So that means that the final build is 7 weeks newer.

Let's hope those last 7 weeks did wonders.

[dennett316]

They're gonna have to work miracles in those 7 weeks.

[HiddenMission]

@dennett
You do know that both demos were built months ago right...like over 7 months ago...

Not only do mechanics get tweaked but graphics, balancing and even story elements. The only thing the demo's showed us is how the game controls and what kind of game space we can expect that's all.

For all blasting this game it's super sad to see that none of you can come to terms with the information that I've put out there several times but to each his own.

What's a loss for you is a gain for me.

[MeatAbstract]

Am probably gonna wait until this drops in price.

[dennett316]

Capcom, you want to market the game towards action junkies at the expense of the survival horror style and milk them to death with crappy DLC? Great, go nuts.
Use some of that cash you get to fund a re-release of the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil in widescreen HD, and then remake Resi 2 and 3 in the same style.

Charge me full price for each one, I don't care, but give fans of the old style SOMETHING to enjoy. Low budget old-school Resi games released on Live and PSN at the time of release of each new instalment of the bland action-fests you've turned the mainline games into. Get the old fans spending money again on something they want to buy. Do a bloody Kickstarter if you want, just give us SOMETHING while you're ruining a franchise we love in the name of chasing sales from teenagers who've just gotta be shooting things or they're not interested.

[Sevir]

It wasn't bad though I could tell it was an old build. I thoroughly enjoyed Leon's portion and Jake's I'm not sure I liked Chris's portion, thought the pacing was off. And I felt like I was playing Resistance 2. Overall though I think I'll get the game. playing with an experience player makes it great!

[Carl_Shocker]

"as a Resident Evil worthy of modern times"

Are they high...see they judge it by the franchies name instead of the game it's self, a sequel to a RE game...not a new generic third person action game clone.

How can you say it's a mordern RE when it goes against everything which made the first games we fell in love with RE. It's not evolving...it's changing for the worse, it's a totaly new game

I don't trust big magazine or sites...they know if they slag off a game as big as RE Capcom will never give them sneak peeks, preview, new info on a game, behind the scenes stuff or even little goodies sent to their offices in the form of press kits because Capcom would not want to waste their time with people who give their games bad scores...even though they probably deserve it.

RE5 got good scores...look what happened
COD always get good scores...look what happens
FF13 got good scores...look what happened
Skyrim was buggy as hell and got perfect scores..again good game but still
GTA4 got good scores...yes it was good but a little overhyped.

Can you see a pattern forming here...hype, the franchises name and behind the scene "deals" is what gives big games the best possible scores

[Kratoscar2008]

I dont know who is more dump, pro-reviewers that think that we will buy any crap just because they gave it a 10 or people that actually buy it based on those payed scores.

"RE5 got good scores...look what happened
COD always get good scores...look what happens
FF13 got good scores...look what happened
Skyrim was buggy as hell and got perfect scores..again good game but still
GTA4 got good scores...yes it was good but a little overhyped.
"

So true famitsu gave FFXIII a 40/40 and like 38/40 to XIII-2.

Sorry to break it to you but this is now a modern RE, the old RE formula will never go back wheter we like it or not (I dont like it one bit) so this is now a RE game (Big explosions, regeneration health, easy as hell)

[Silver_Edge]

@Carl_Shocker

Ok, just following up your previous response to this one. I just can't help but notice some contradictions in your responses.

http://n4g.com/news/1080743...

In this post you responded to the Italian OPM RE6 review score with this:

"Thats the problem thats going to hapen with these reviews, they arnt going to review it as a Resident Evil game....does this live up to the RE name? From what we've seen of it....no it doesn't."

Where you clearly were upset with the Review not being based on it being a Resident Evil game...which in all fairness is an improper way to review a game, but nevertheless...

Now your issue is:

"Are they high...see they judge it by the franchies name instead of the game it's self, a sequel to a RE game...not a new generic third person action game clone."

Now you're upset because they "allegedly" reviewed this by the franchise name where in your previous post you were upset because you said "...they arnt going to review it as a Resident Evil game....does this live up to the RE name? From what we've seen of it....no it doesn't."

Now, which is it?

Also, you're making the bold claim for Skyrim not being a good game worthy of its scores? Sure it has issues on the PS3 but that is due to the difficulty of programming with the Cell Processor. The game itself works great on Xbox and PC and also was nominated as Game of the Year. Call of Duty also won Game of the Year. And you even say GTA4 is good...but not good because it was over hyped?

Again, I'm not personally attacking you nor am I trying to fight with you. It's just hard not to take notice of you being a regular in the RE6 forums and you make it hard to NOT notice you contradicting yourself.

[Plagasx]

Shinji Mikami,

please show Capcom how it's fucking done with your new horror game!

[dazzrazz]

Multiplayer stripped down and sold separately

:]

[snowman2149]

Am I the only one thats genuinely excited for this game? Yes, Chris' campaign is gears of war but leon, jake and ada wong's campaigns are way more horror oriented, a lot like RE4 actually ;)

[Digimortal]

No you are not the only one. I'm extremely excited for this game, like i am with every other RE title that has come out since the second game. After playing the first game back on the PSone, i was hooked from the get go.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Resident Evil Remake on Gamecube is my fondest memory of the series... although the PS1 days were really great too!

PS1 spawned plenty of great survival horror franchises back in the day... Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Clocktower, Dino Crisis... just to name a few!

[Kratoscar2008]

Alone in the dark the new knightmare.

[Flewid638]

My problem with the demo REALLY is the control scheme and camera. Holy crap so bad.

I'm all for RE being an action game. Just give me a GOOD game...a GREAT game. Call it Peanut Butter and Jelly for all I care.

But don't give me an unplayable product. This is how I felt about the demo. Quite sad.

[Digimortal]

What's wrong with the controls? I think the controls are completely fine and perfect for an RE game. At least to me they are.

[BreakingDown]

Eh, you know how it goes. There has to be a fixated reason to justify not liking a game so badly. Like older gamers used to the older Resident Evil games might find the controls more difficult in the newer ones.

I thought it controlled well, but in fairness some people are just better at playing games than others. So I can understand if he has a hard time playing it and can't do it very well that he doesn't want to play it.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Loved the demo! I can't wait to play it! It's definitely a return to form.

[wastedcells]

Demo was a huge wtf moment

[War3_89]

Ill start by saying I'm an old school R evil fan. To see the series transform slowly into a commercialized, boring, and just stale state is nothing more than a bitter disappointment. There is no horror, no suspense and no creativity. So linear and plain boring. As much as I would love to stay committed, I've found it's only going to get worse. For the developers behind the scenes: if you can't cut it, then remake the old games with minor tweaks. For example, how fuckin awesome would it be to play resident evil 1 exactly how it was, but with the resident evil 4 feel; im talking gameplay and graphics..Maybe youll learn something from the oldschool games. But a bit of advice; KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. res E 4 for example; an amazing game in the modern era.

[saimcheeda]

Im definitely getting this but im not sure if i should get it now or wait a bit more!

[Max-Zorin]

I'm gonna laugh if Resident Evil 6 end up one of those games a lot of people hated but sold well anyway.

[Gamias580]

Most likely it is! Lot of stupid kids buying crap and calling it good this generation

[MrRedfield217]

The nostalgic hatred is sickening!

[zizco5]

Borderlands its like a MW3 in comic graphics,it sucks.

[MilkMan]

LOVED THE DEMO back when I came with Dragon's Dogma.
So GLAD I pre-ordered it. Cant wait for October 2nd.
This series needed an update since part 1.

[saphiron]

Im so sick of reading all these comments about how bad this game is.

FYI: Yes I am a huge fan of the old school RE games, and I've played them all. Code Veronica and 2 are my fav. 4 was amazing, 5 was a letdown. But RE won't return to that.

I think the demo was a positive surprise. Yes, Chis' campaign was the lesser one, but we all knew that did we not.

I think the camera and controlled worked great, just adjust it down a little on the sensitivity if you have problems, I've also heard they changed the camera a bit compared to the demo. The thing that worked great by having it so close was that you had to look aorund while not having the tank controll on your character, and whenever you stubbled over a zombie or managed to overlook one you got a nice little "scare".
Also liked the darkness.

Can't wait to play this in co-op with my friend. Im shure we'll have a blast. And that is what it's all about.

Multiplayer Generation .. I HATE YOU !!

[Gamias580]

Capcom needs to beg Shinji Mikami to come back because they have no idea what they have done to any of their franchises! Complete trash this generation just milking their fans for everything they got from DLC

[CShadow]

Here's the true story. Chris died on RE Code Veronica after finding Claire. Leon died after RE4 after rescuing the presidents daughter. Wesker signed out on RE5 Shiva gave up as well and Jill went to get her hair dyed back and died. Ada and the pharmaceutical company "S" won. The end. Don't buy RE 6.

[CanadianTurtle]

I have to admit, sure it's on the wrong path. But the demo played better than RE5. Just my opinion. RE5 completely took away the need of atmosphere.

I wish people would allow this series to progress, they are shooting for a more action orientated market and thus making a more action packed third person shooter game. Play it as a game in general and not a survival horror title and its good.

[chukamachine]

Did not like the controls, too stiff imo. And camera is awkward.

Of course in this day and age, they would not return to the res evil of old. But did not seem horror, just action.

I passed on 5, will pass on this as well.

more like 3rd review score

[denero1]

So are people forgetting the basics shouldn't we focus more on if the game is good instead of if it keeps to certain themes

I mean as time moves forward things change the game has moved into more action based territory what we should look at is the story and game play portions before we judge a game because it decided to change from horror to action with aspects of horror

[PurpHerbison]

Won't be picking this up cause I told myself I wouldn't after seeing that the series fell off the railroad track with RE5.

[Rodney25]

I like how everyone is bashing a game and saying it sucks because it's not like older ones. When games stay the same what happens, everyone gets all pissed and starts sounding like a bunch of whiny bitches; but when a game evolves and changes the meaning of survival horror from bad camera angels and tank controls to overwhelming forces and fighting mutated enemies oh no they committed a war crime. What the hell is wrong with you people even if it isn't like the old ones it's still a good game so why not play it anyways. And how the fuck can yo judge the whole game the WHOLE game based on a freaking 10 min max demo that makes no since what the shit. Y'know what I think people just want to complain that's it. you want to complain about something. You complained when you couldn't move and shoot, added no now the it's too actiony. You said get outta here static camera angles behind your shoulder, nope too close. I bet if you complained that it was too long and they made it shorter it would be too short I mean what the hell. Y'know what never mind just go back to mindlessly hating on a game you barely played because it's what's trending. Fucking sheep.

A demo can be compared to catching a fish. Gotta get it on the hook right? Well in my opinion, it didn't cut it. There's just no creativity anymore, no shocks or surprises or no Whaoo that took some thought and skill. No suspense or thrill, No puzzling moments. Just nonstop action. The way R E captured its fans was by the fact of not knowing what's gonna happen next; the random lickers that you would see crawling over a window then having it completely disappear. That state of insecurity, confusion or fear and suspense is what the franchise was about. Not nonstop linear action and plain cheesy B.S.

[Neo-Axl]

It's like Capcom are trying to get everybody to hate Chris even more than before. :/ Thanks Capcom, It worked.

[0pie]

and the score is?

[one2thr]

My biggest issue with current day RE games was; the zombies gotten smarter and faster, but the player(us) had to stand still to either shoot or reload... That was my only problem....

My two cents

"GRAND THEFT AUTO:V - INSIDE THE BIGGEST GAME EVER MADE"
False advertising, get lost! Nobody knows anything and this is just a con.

Back on topic, the RE6 demo felt mediocre hence my dislike of it. I found it didn't do anything new/special for the series so why buy it?

[SatyendraR]

Gave me horrible time.
The camera is way too close to the character, I started feeling dizzy the same way when I play 1st person shooting. The game is too fast.I like it a bit slow. It is not at all survival horror. RE ORC was a shooter game(Not real RE) and it received too much of negative reviews(It deserved it for not being the real RE), but I can
tell it was way better than this shit!! Chris' and Jake's game sucked even more,they are more like call of duty games I think. The game is too bad and it is at it's final stage. I am not sure how much they have improved upon it. At least fix the damn camera Capcom!! I love the horror,the wait, and even inventory in RE 4 , You could examine and admire each weapon and you would have plenty of time to do it :). It sucks here. You can replace the zombie with some aliens or gangsters and the game remains same. So the game's name is Resident Evil but nothing seem to be scary evil here.

It's like I am shooting some goons here.The other parts of the game sucks too.

I don't think RE6 is for me., as I can't play 1st person games, and This one is similar to that (in spite of being 3rd person game).

THE DEMO WAS A YEAR OLD BUILD

Damn you people are retarded
