Rest in Peace, Resident Evil
As hyped as I might have been before E3 for Resident Evil 6, the recent gameplay shown at the gaming industry’s biggest trade show has all but killed my excitement for Capcom’s latest iteration of the popular RE franchise. The Resident Evil series has always been known and loved for its survival horror roots, but after the release of Resident Evil 5, Capcom has opted for a more mainstream-friendly, action-packed vibe in its most well-regarded franchise. If RE5 was a departure from the tried-and-true theme of Resident Evil, then Resident Evil 6 is a complete and total 180.
