Cinemablend "We all know video game journalism is in the gutter. Few sites are reliable (and we all know who they are). Most sites are middlemen advertisers (sadly, even including us) and video game journalism as a whole is trash, we know, it's true. However, every once in a while some of us will come out of the gutter to remind gamers that every purchase they make still counts as a decision that helps shape the industry, and this little reminder here is about an upcoming choice millions of people will make regarding the future of Capcom, based on their highly anticipated zombie-shooter, Resident Evil 6."

please, its a job, if they get abused its because they let it happeen or reeeeally need the job.
yeah i'd like them to be treated better but anyone pirating is just scum.
C'mon...
That's one thing pirates can't do, they must steal the games even they don't agree with the publisher.
If the game ends up not selling and NOT PIRATED because of the publisher, you know what that means for them. (Yes, I know that will never happen because pirates will steal everything.)

RE6 Is tuning out to be an amazing game. It looks beautiful and It going to be GOTY. If you wanna pass on the game because of that. Then I don't know what to say.
Also to end my post Im going to quote a user who wrote the following comment in that article.
"Everyone does realize if no one buys any of their games the employees may not have a job at all....right?"
Do you have any idea how utterly ridiculous you sound? Seriously, how can you have such an incredibly dumb view of the world? I can only assume that you're in your early teens, living with your parents and have absolutely no idea as to how the world really works, because I can't ever imagine somebody who actually has a clue to say something so stupid.
All companies treat their employees like s***. Welcome to life, people! Said employees always have the option of quitting.
I wonder just how many of you cuss out the cashiers at the grocery story for something beyond their control just to go home and complain about your own jobs, or another company's treatment of their employees.
I've been a cashier long enough to know it happens a great deal. Customers make employees miserable and bosses do the same for every job on the planet. Unless people are dropping dead at Capcom or being physically beaten, it's a non issue!
....are you high
" It looks beautiful "
Screen tearing is beautiful ?
>looks beautiful and It going to be GOTY.
>It going to be GOTY.
>going to be GOTY.
Man I gotta try some of those bath salts.
@Lord Sloth - While true to an extent, you can't really compare the hard time customers and bosses can give you to being worked to the point you end up hospitalized.
seriously, in almost anything we buy somebody has been mistreated down the line, and way worse than what capcom is doing. OH so great you don't like capcom's PR! so let's boycott them because some article tells you that people are not being payed enough and let's continue consuming imported goods! kids are only dying while producing those.
I sincerely hope people disagreed for the resi6 comment rather than your logic mika, I apologize for this community.
so a gears of zombies is now a revolution of the genre ?
and u DARE talking about GOTY ?????
you better keep dreaming buddy.
you said the same crap for ff13 been the best ff ever made u CLEARLY have zero clues about gaming.
u can enjoy this crap but stop posting pathetic comment like goty or best res etc etc...beside your disagrees talk for them self
http://kotaku.com/5940672/p...
I would say just quit but jobs dont come by as easy as they did at one point.
That said I wont be buying, Its a rent for me
Can't blame them, F'n managers.
And I once wanted to work in the gaming idustry :S
F**K that !
In many ways, the success or failure of this game mirrors the upcoming presidential election. Are ignorant people going to give in and buy the Romney & Ryan lies? Are you going to give in and buy this slave labor, force fed garbage? LETS SEND THESE CORPORATE JERK OFFS A MESSAGE. RENT the game if you must. Do not buy it. STICK IT TO THEM WHERE THEY'LL FEEL IT. Vote with your wallet. It is the American way.
YOU ALL SAW THE DISASTER THAT WAS OPERATION RACCOON CITY. The reviewers even told you it was trash and yet many kids went out and bought it anyways because of the name. Kids are going to buy it, but just because 99% of idiots are playing it DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO too. Resist the mental midget peer pressure.
The resident evil series died long ago with Resident Evil 4. For me it died with Resident Evil Zero. I preferred the SURVIVAL HORROR games that they used to make. They were actually scary and forced you to focus on your survival. Saving ammo, scavenging for puzzle pieces to reach your next objective etc. WE WILL NEVER GET THE OLD RESIDENT EVIL BACK SO LONG AS THEY CAN RAKE IN MONEY BEING DOUCEBAGS MAKING THESE COD EMULATORS. I don't know if I even want it back after the things they've done.
For the love of god, go play Darksiders 2 instead of this. They made an amazing game that deserves more than 250,000 sales in the US. It also was not without it's controversy, but it's a gamer's game made by gamers for gamers. It wasn't rushed out and it was genuinely awesome and full of content. I've easily gotten around 60 hours of play out of it with New Game Plus, trading items with friends to stack my stats and playing the more challenging difficulty.
Or whatever... buy it. I'm kinda distancing myself from gaming. At least i'm trying to... Old habits die hard. It takes a serious, concerted effort to make a change whether it be personal, within a company or as a country. Human nature is to follow the path of least resistance. We all do it. Sometimes it takes a serious disaster to light the fire. I can only hope for the sake of anyone who never played the original resident evils that RE6 will be that disaster.
Good luck gamers. I forsee some sad, frustrating and overpriced days in your future if the trend continues.
AND IF YOU'RE 18+ AND LIVE IN ONE OF THE NINE STATES THAT WILL DETERMINE OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION this year...remember to get yourself registered to vote by October 9th. It's ridiculously simple. You fill out a single form and it takes all of 1 minute. Take a break from playing all those games in November to vote against the 1%ers and corporate greed. We're all in it together. What goes on at the global scale will spread to all of the industries that are a part of the system.
The challenge is getting people to think in the LONG TERM. The long term for gaming, the long term for their career and the long term for the country. Personally I will gain more individually if Romney is elected because i'll be taxed less on my investments and i'll be taxed slightly less on my checks. Seeing as how I have not bought a home, I will not suffer when tax cuts for home ownership. But I know in the long term, Romney is going to take the country in the wrong direction by leading us to more division. Eventually it'll be a disaster for everyone. His budget is mathematically impossible.
I'm convinced the whole thing is just a show. It's just unreal how ridiculous the election is this year. The choices couldn't be any more opposite. It has already been acknowledged that things are going to improve regardless of who gets elected, but they're not going to be great. We have a lot of concessions to make to pay off Bush's debt as well as the debt Obama took on in order to keep the system from completely collapsing.
capcom just like a alot of companies have very loyal fanboys who are willing to buy dead rising sequels and than an expansion to a sequel for 39.99.
go ahead disagree i use to like capcom a lot but this gen they have made them self look more greedy than most others and that's hard to do when everyone wants to make as much money as possible.
i buy their games used if i am interested i rather gamestop or someone on ebay make the money than these morons. Also most of their home grown development talent has left them and either formed their own indie studios or have joined a western publisher. the creator of Dead rising said he had to hide the game development for DR till it was 50% done otherwise capcom would have cancelled the development.
use to be a gaming company for gamers than they saw DLC and forgot their rich history
What am I basing this on? Well the millions of SKYRIM PS3 copies that were sold that shouldn't have been, given how crappy Bethesda is.
Let's do sth against those criminals, let's not just approve what they do by jumping over their products.
it was like an on rails shooter and the weapons seemed to have no punch to them at all and they had some weird assist setting on them so you can't use precision to shoot pacific body parts.
Not to mention the awful camera view of the protagonist.
Chris took up half of the screen with his giant arms and I could barely see where I was going.
Anyway I thought it was really boring and even worse than RE5,the graphics looked nice but that was about it.
Will wait for the reviews I think.
So basically you're hurting them even more,and for that matter,if they are mistreated yet still work there then it must mean they have no where else to go.
you're right they jump from job to off the balcony....
i kid i kid......
It will hurt the uppers the most .Either they will lay people off and go out of business or try to make things better.
Im guessing since they love money they will do the latter.
also, game developers work hard with low pay because they usually get good bonuses from good sales.
Might I add people still buy Diamonds regardless of the story behind it.
Can't believe RE6 looks even worse graphically.
No, I've never played an old school Resident Evil game (unless you count re4 as one, but I'm pretty sure you don't), but I'm not 16, I'm 21.
I didn't have any previous expectations from previous games, which is why I was able to enjoy it. As a standalone game, it's not a bad game. As a Resident Evil game it's probably terrible, but if you go into it without expecting a horror experience or expecting it to be anything like previous RE games, it's a really fun co-op game.
But nice try with the generalization. How is making baseless claims and assumptions on people you know absolutely nothing about working out for you?
/s
IF YOU DONT WANT TO BUY THE GAME THEN DONT.....god leave us people who have the money to have fun with games alone
If you don't like reading about consumer awareness and abusive working conditions, DON'T READ THE ARTICLE..... God leave us people with a conscience and some human decency alone so we can actually try to initiate change.
See how that works? Nobody is forcing you to read the article. So you can take your own advice, and please shut up.
Your logic is the worst. Even if you knew for a fact that everyone who is boycotting this company boycotts nothing else (which you don't and never will), as you claim in your infinite wisdom, that doesn't make their point any less relevant. It would be nice if people were aware of the processes behind more the products they buy, but barring that, I don't think the answer is for people to slip into full-apathy mode and stay there. No matter how you spin it, you and reject over there are actively trying to stifle people who are trying to make a legitimate difference where they see something wrong. I hope you're proud.
By the way, I hope you're in every article in here putting people's notions of consumer awareness in check. It's all about consistency, right?
But if you do, you should get rid of any item in your house made by Foxconn, which includes your Xbox, Iphone, and allot more. Most things made in Taiwan, China and these other places pay people $2.00 an hour, for 60+ hours a week.
Capcom's employees don't have it that bad do they? I doubt it.
Your sense of logic would see to it that we let all the abusers of the world continue to abuse so as to not make waves. Change doesn't come cheap sometimes, and while sitting on one's hands is often the easiest solution, it's seldom the most effective.
Let me guess your buying the 360 version.
Capcom treats everyone like shit and they've ruined their greatest IPs, well done guys.
Question is , will you really boycott a game that completely entice you from a company you love , if you learn the same kind of stuff about the way they treat their employées ?
I have a feeling only a few would hold on to such morals . And if so you better stop using most gaming devices , cause you will find abuses for both hardware and software products
It seems like a dirty business no matter how you slice the apple.
Unfortunately gamers seem to be caught in the middle because not supporting a product doesn't bode well for the team but it seems like supporting the product still doesn't bode well for the team.
there are outspoken unhappy people who think they are mistreated in virtually every company, especially in big game development companies. It comes with the territory.
Soon as a true great survival horror hits consoles, the hatred will be reduced dramatically because they will be occupying their time with the new game.....
No need for name calling dude. Take a breath and chill.....

Milking is no better suited to a company, than Capcom & there milkage with dlc.
Also, I am iffed by this game, The Last Of Us looks like more a survival horror game than RE6. They are ultimately making 3 different games from what I've read. They are making a supposed survival horror section, a 3rd person shooter oriented section, & a mesh up of both section.
Wow Capcom, I'm sold.....I'm all for getting broken messes of games (I bought RE:ORC for instance), I'm so enthused for this game.......NOT.
Just make the damn game as good as Resident Evil 2 on PS1.....I care not what anyone says, NO RE game has come close to being as brilliant, & innovative as that game is, & that goes for that overated RE4 too.....Friggin RE4 may as well have been a totally different franchise, as apart from a couple of characters & such, it had no coomon ground with the RE series of PS1 fame.
P1ss off all these running infected, poor excuses for zombies, & bring back the dozens & dozens of onscreen, slow shuffling, mind dead, brain hungry, lead magnets of old......bring back the sh1t your pants moments of zombie dobermens crashing through nearby windows, give me back those throwback ridiculous game bosses like the giant, zombie, crocodile in pt. 2.
Capcom, you f$#king idiots, give me back RE, the way it's supposed to be & feel, you've lost ALL atmosphere in the RE titles now (I will pay RE4 for being the last to have some kind of atmoshere, but it just wasn't RE atmosphere).
We don't want a broken up into 3 pieces mess of a game, we want a single feeling, unified, RE evil game. I mean, the true RE fans have been screaming since RE4 took them off course, for a traditional RE game.....a return to series roots, a throwback to what made the series popular. But instead were getting something we don't want again out of Capcom, as the d1ckhead suits are trying to bundle the true RE fans up with 3rd person shooter fans. Capcom, people don't want RE as a 3rd person shooter experience, cause frankly there are a dozen developers that make far better 3rd person shooter experiences than you clowns. It looks like your better off buying/playing a copy of Dead Rising to get at least a small taste of what a RE game should be like, as the DR games are now closer to a true RE experience, than an actual modern RE game can deliver.
I'll probably buy RE6 down the line, once it hits the sales bin.
