"It has its flaws, but this is a damn fine horror game that will keep you entertained and afraid for a very long time". The only horror i felt playing the demo was because i couldnt get that sloppy cover system to work.

Horror does not = Scary, I mean...I wish it did but..Horror can just be gory now. It's always been thrown around between 'scary' and 'shocking' or gory

RE has at least maintained the horror aspect, it's just...very very not scary. See, some people find gore itself 'scary' or the idea of the walking dead scary, whereas people like us need some type of psychological 'shock' to be scared. People loe Dead space because it had...jumpy bits in it. I wasn't affected by them honestly. They just don't work on me anymore. But, Dark room, earphones, lights off + Amnesia Dark descent, was quite scary.

TheBlackSmoke4225d ago

Sorry but the "where is teh horroz" complainers are just getting clouded by nostalgia. The only reason re2 was scary was because I was 13 years old when I played it, as a 27 year old I wouldn't bat an eyelid at anything in that game and the only thing it legitimately has is the licker jump scare through the two way mirror. For its time it was a great game but you have a false perception if you think it is the epitome of horror.

If you think simply changing the amount of ammo and restricting your movement all of a sudden remedies the horror levels, then your just a weak minded idiot.

Imalwaysright4225d ago

Horror comes from atmosphere. It doesnt necessarily have to be scary. It just needs to transmit a feeling of uneasiness, tension and loneliness wich original RE games deliver in spades. You say that lack of ammo doesnt add to the atmosphere... you couldnt be more wrong as it adds to the feeling of tension. RE6 is a straight forward generic action TPS worthy of a mindless generic summer blockbuster and has as much horror as that "Eat pray sleep" movie.

(game that will keep you entertained and afraid for a very long time.)=This was reviewed by a 10 year old kid?Or its a little girl!?Afraid?WTF!

csreynolds4225d ago

There's a genre called 'Action Horror'?

On topic, meh. I really wanted to like RE6, but the demo left a sore taste in my mouth. Dodgy cover system, obscure camera controls, gun-wielding Zombies, frequent quick-time events... ugh, just talking about it makes me sad.

Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B406d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot406d 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.

RpgSama404d 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.

MadLad404d 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.

babadivad404d ago (Edited 404d 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.

hotnickles404d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313404d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984406d ago (Edited 406d 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.

“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

TheEnigma313404d ago (Edited 404d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS17404d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
