RE6 dev: “I don’t think we’re losing the horror, just because we keep action in the game”

Resident Evil 6 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi can’t understand why people think survival horror and action are mutually exclusive, and says that balancing the two is all about how you control the player’s feeling of empowerment.

[Carl_Shocker]

My god how ignorant are these guys, can they not admit it

"and says that balancing the two is all about how you control the player’s feeling of empowerment."

But you guys arn't balancing it, theres no horror whats so ever in this game. Even Leons sections which are supposed to be the horror themed ones but it matches up to RE5s gameplay.

What RE6 have taught me is that you can't try and please everyone like they "think" they are doing, having three campaigns with differn't gameplay is ruining the series more, especialy story wise when it used to be better focusing on one/two main characters.

"“So while there’s still action, I don’t think we’re losing the horror, just because we keep action in the game.”"

But thats not what we wanted...we complained after RE5 and said stuff like the action elements and co-op had to go and you guys improved them instead and made them ten times worse.

Honestly Capcom have lost it...and the worst is with runing this franchise, DLC, locked disc content etc they never admit it, they give us crappy excuses instead

RE6 dev: “I think we’re losing fans, just because we keep action in the game”

*fixed*

[yami930]

RE6 dev: “I think we’re losing fans, just because we keep adding action in the game”

**fixed**

[Nerdmaster]

They may be losing fans, but are winning lots more. Just look at RE 4 and 5 sales.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the direction the series is taking, but Capcom is a business company and it goes wherever the money is. And unfortunately, the money is on action games. We can expect some horror only on spin-off games like Revelations.

[SilentNegotiator]

yami is right.

They aren't "keeping" the action; they're ADDING action. The pace no longer works as a horror game. If I blow 20 zombies heads off with headshots in a minute, they're no longer threatening. I already have too much adrenaline when something that really is scary comes around.

It's fundamentals, Crapcom. Learn them and stop blaming fans.

[shoddy]

RE6 is now gear of war.

No more horror just run and gun.

[zeeshan]

Capcom and Square Enix have disappointed us throughout this generation. These Japanese devs are losing their charm. Kojima is the brightest star these days and rightly so!

[Irishguy95]

There was no horror...at all...in the demo. Even though I somewhat liked the demo...It was not scary in any way.

[NatureOfLogic]

Most devs this gen are no longer for the fans. It's all business now. They know they can get away with ignoring most of their core fans.But anything to get those COD numbers. It's sad really.

[fossilfern]

I played the public demo of RE6 after being let down by the Dragons Dogma demo and the demo has put me off RE6 completely. And wtf is with that QTE when your in the police car in Leons campaign? It didnt add tension it was just anoying.

[J_Cob]

The part when you're supposed to hit the gas to drive off. I literally put the controller down to see if anything happens. Hoping the zombie on the hood busts through the windshield. Nothing. You just sit there with zombies banging on your car lol. That part reminded me of Black Ops's driving portion on the first stage as well.

It also reminded me of Black Ops' first stage when you also drive off in a car by pressing a button to reverse then go forward.

[shoddy]

Ya what kind of zombie carried guns?

[NukaCola]

Don't we find it amazing when millions of fans can stand there with a petition for what they want (ie Classic Resident Evil/Silent Hill gameplay or Final Fantasy VII/VIII HD) in one hand and a wad of cash in the other and some developers will still make some of the worst decisions and deliver a garbage game...then have the audacity to bitch or blame the community for poor sales? Or something lamer like saying this crap. If we want Action Horror...we have Dead Space, but RE isn't that type of game.

I think we did sort of fail ourselves when we went crazy for RE4 which was the start of the fall (Or change we no longer want) of RE in reality. Like when we said FF X was the greatest but in actuality it was the first linear FF and the beginning of the change in that franchise. Now we hate them both. I don't guys/gals...

[fossilfern]

I said the exact same thing when RE4 came out. I remember going to my friend "Yeah this is good and it does have the RE characters but I don't like the way the series is going and I think it will get worse" and my friend just laughed and claimed RE4 as the best RE ever. Now I did like RE4 but it wasn't my favorite and it looks like the series wont be going back to horror any time soon

[darren_poolies]

The thing is though, Dead Space can actually be scary at lot of the time. It has something RE no longer has, a great atmosphere.

[s8anicslayer]

@carl I agree 100% and although RE6 seems like a decent game, it is lacking the core elements that made RE a great "HORROR" game which is what us true RE fans fell in love with!

[WeskerChildReborned]

Sometimes i wonder if Capcom trolls us.

[cogniveritas]

This is a great "Metal Resident Duty: Solid Call of Evil Gear" game.

[jamesensor]

I love to see the apologists trying to force us to accept sub-standard gaming quality. It really says it all... It's becoming common practice nowadays with these major companies.

[ballzdeep]

Loved re1, played it to death
Re2 was just more of the same, but still enjoyed it and finished it
Nemesis lost me halfway through, uncompleted
Re4, what can i say, it BLEW ME AWAY
Re5 improved on 4 in EVERY way, the addition of co-op was perfect
Re6 demo has me impatiently awaiting oct 2nd

Horror is completely subjective, but one things for sure Capcom is still doing something right

Oh and
LOL! at you carl. You quoted the title and description in your comment. You obviously didnt even bother to read the article. Your bias is transparent
Epic Fail!

[Carl_Shocker]

"Re5 improved on 4 in EVERY way, the addition of co-op was perfect"

I mean to say RE5 improved on everything from RE4 is just BS...total BS.

RE5 can't even compare it's self to RE4...it just can't, it was terrible compared to it.

Your bias is transparent...an obsessed RE fan who thinks every RE is the next best thing and is obviously going to defend it.

So what if it was in the article intro bit, it was the quote I wanted to talk about...big deal why try and make something out of it your just being immature.

I mean to say RE5 improved on everything from RE4 ¬¬

...oh yeah I forget...so "Epic Fail" on your part.

[dark-hollow]

"Re5 improved on 4 in EVERY way, the addition of co-op was perfect"

i seriously disagree with this.
especially the broken CO-OP ai. really, playing on harder difficulties while baby-sitting this brick of an AI is a true nightmare!

sure, when playing with another person those problems are gone but why do i need another player to avoid their crappy shiva AI?

[Irishguy95]

RE4 >>>>>> RE5.

I don' even have to explain, RE5 had better graphics. The combat was the same except Co op Ruined it. Other than that, literally every single thing was worse

[TheDivine]

Theres no horror? I didnt realise the game released already i better go pick up a copy.

I will decide AFTER i play it. TBH though, i dont give a shit whether its "horror" or not. I want a good RE game. That doesnt mean i will only accept fixed camera angles, horrible controls, slow ass zombies, and jump scares like dogs jumping through windows. Oh i forgot live action shots and horrible acting. That WAS RE, its eveolved beyond that. Yes the REmake was good but i still prefer 4 myself (and Revelations). RE is whatever they say it is, for the dev to decide. I like the series and cant wait.

When did gamers become so entitled and whiny? Instead of excitement over a new game in a series they love they either

A) Bitch because its the same formula (ex. COD)

B) Bitch because its not the same formula (ex. RE)

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

Ouch,, i meant to disagree. Sorry :/

lol anyways i felt obligated to tell you that you're COMPLETELY missing the point. People aren't pissy that we lost "fixed camera angles" or "bad acting" (last time i checked most VG acting back then was mediocre at best), People are pissed because it handles like a generic move from point A to point B shooter. I'll admit i saw a tiny throw back of the Re4 atmosphere in Leon's chapter. But Jake & Chris's chapters were purely running & gunning without any sort of atmosphere whatsoever. I can tell right off the bat though that this RE installment won't have a scary atmosphere at all if Leon's story is supposed to be the classic one, it's safe to say this is going to be a very action heavy RE. Leon's chapter was literally the only one with any kind of atmosphere whatsoever (dark & brooding). Chris & Jake's chapter's atmosphere was completely dead (no pun intended). I wish my opinion would change, i love anything RE (Even Dead aim). But i just couldn't get into it. Every time i'd fall my AI partner would be right there to save me. Every time i went up to an infected creature it took out a knife and tried to shank me, or gun me down. There wasn't much fear of death. The times i did die i would usually restart so close to where i died. There was no real i dunno "penalty?" for death like in the first 4 RE's were you be forced to save at a typewriter (and use your limited ink ribbons wisely) and that was your "checkpoint". Those moments where you are wounded, there are no herbs in sight, NO HEALTH REGEN!! and you have 2 bullets left. Those moments where your surrounded and barely clinging to life, it's those near death adrenaline rushes that i and most "whiny" RE fans miss the most...... Enjoy your shoot out.

[whoyouwit04]

you people complain way to much, instead of being grateful for the things they are tring to give you
you find more to complain about. I mean do you people have lives that you get that bother that the game is not what you excactly imagined. you wanted zombies and you got them. you say this game is not scary, I don't know how old you are but if you are a grown ass man then you are not going to be scared anyways, so they have no chice but to add action to keep you intrested. look im not tring to sound bitchy or anything but you peole really need to be more considerate of the develepors these people spend months no years of there lives developing a game for you and you think you can just say what ever you want, I can say this because my brother is going to school for game developement and he showed me a little bit of the things they do, Do you know how long it takes just to make one character? if you did you wouldn't bitch the way you are doing. I'm sorry if I upset you but I'm just being real.

[The Rock Bottom]

Jamesensor just posted something about fellas like you....

"I love to see the apologists trying to force us to accept sub-standard gaming quality. It really says it all... It's becoming common practice nowadays with these major companies."

[Unlimax]

RE Fans .. Those developers are no longer being Creative and smart , Ignore them Perhaps they feel remorse about it ~

Greed and money blind their insight .

[Godmars290]

If your jump-scares are non-interactive cutscenes and not active events, then you've lost the horror.

Dogs suddenly jumping through a window to attack you, a corpse you've past a couple of times which reaches for you on the third, Nemesis bursting out an alleyway turning a cautious walk into a boss fight - that's horror.

[soundslike]

Thats only half of it. The horror comes from being weak, but when you're just catering to peoples power fantasies then you've already lost.

[cogniveritas]

They need some new people for "being weak". The main cast is too experienced now. Leon is skilled enough to be entrusted to save the President's daughter. Chris has a giant BSAA squad, and along with everyone else who has the maneuverability of MGS4s Old Snake, fighting zombies is all in a day's work. Even if those zombies now use firearms and know squad tactics.

[StanSmith]

What i don't understand is how they managed to screw RE6 up.

I enjoyed RE5. It wasn't as good as previous games, but it was still enjoyable. Then I played Revelations. After finishing it, I felt sure Capcom were getting back on track with the franchise. Revelations had more scares than RE 4 & 5 combined. Then I played the RE6 demo...

It's awful. The game just feels totally meh. It feels nothing like a Resident Evil game. It just feels like your average third-person shooter. There is nothing redeeming about it whatsoever.

This is coming from someone who enjoyed Operation Raccoon City too. RE6 went from day 1 to preorder cancelled.

[fossilfern]

YES STAN! I agree I played revelations and I did feel that Capcom were going the right way. I didnt like the fact you had someone following you the whole time but I was looking forward to RE6 until this demo. Not interested anymore.

[etebitan]

couldn't agree more!!

[Summons75]

Jump scares to begin with do not count as horror. True horror is getting inside the player's head and making them think that something is right behind them or making them fear the unknown. Resident Evil since the first game has never been scary. They have been really good (minus the controls of the first 3 games) and really fun but I have never once been scared by them, especially when you have tons of ammo and health in your pocket to protect you.

I love Resident Evil since I played the first game as a kid but people's crying about there not being horror is silly because they are looking at the older games with nostalgia goggles. Did I jump at the dogs when they came through the window? Sure, but I can walk into a room scream bloody murder and people will jump but that dose not make that scary it means they were not expecting it.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Which scenario required you to think more before you you shoot, a theatre where you have a set amount of ammunition and saves or a game that has checkpoints and pinata enemies?

And after you answer that which took more effort to kill a zombie without controls being the issue. Imagine Resident Evil 4 engine but with enemies that had not only have the health of the original Resident Evil zombies (about 10 or more slices to kill without reacting to being knifed in the head only the legs and not being able to be hit several feet away) and the same amount of damage done to player (three bites and you were usually dead).

I think my latter scenario en masse would be a a better SURVIVAL horror game in my opinion.

[Godmars290]

How does a game "get inside a player's head" by having crowds of enemies, a chain gun and unlimited ammo? Guys with chainsaws lumbering towards you who you know are going to kill you with one hit in a drawn out gory scene?

Like Soundslike said its putting the player on edge with limited ammo and resources. Establishing rules early in the game that establish safety, then breaking or taking them away later.

We're talking about aspects of Horror. Aspects which Capcom seem to either be ignoring or aren't aware of as they try to appeal to the COD crowd.

[ritsuka666]

I feel sorry for Shinji Mikami. That guy gave us RE4,RE3 and others RE... and shit of Crapcom ruined you franchise dude... i feel sorry for you Shinji-san =/

[GrahamGolden]

omg crapcom STILL blindly retarded

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Perks, German suplexes and enemies dropping ammo single handedly render his answers null and void. Resident Evil Outbreak was more horror than Resident Evil 6 and that HAD co-op.

[shodan74]

Yeah, yeah, whatever...

[Der_Kommandant]

Goddamn drugs!

[pompombrum]

Poor developer is being overworked by Capcom's senior management.. he's not making any sense and appears to be slightly delusional.

[mi_titan27]

I went from having this game pre-ordered to renting from gamefly to NOT gonna play this GARBAGE @ all! RE6 is NOT even remotely close to resembling what a horror-game should be.

[brettyd]

RE6 wouldn't be a bad game if it didn't say Resident Evil on it. Just not a RE game, not at all.

[TongkatAli]

It needs more explosions, running, melee hits, Leon emo faces and cowbell.

[NYC_Gamer]

I went through Leon half of the demo with just Kung Fu kicks

[brettyd]

the Stone Cold Stunners in this game are also...special.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Haha yes the Stone Cold Stunners! I thought that too! It made me think back to when I was playing Resident Evil 2 when I was younger and never in a million years did I think I would be playing as Leon doing wrestling moves on zombies! it's ridiculous!

[Ryo-Hazuki]

RE was really never scary to me like a Silent Hill but it's the design choices from Capcom that is really messing this series up. Based off the demo it's really linear with little to no exploration and the game is always pushing you forward. Gone are the days when you had to explore and find items for a certain puzzle or locked door. They are basically spitting on their hardcore fanbase and opt to design the game for people with ADD who always need to push forward with little to no obstacles in their way other than shoot shoot shoot.

On a side note in the RE6 demo you can't even shoot the zombies on the floor until you "activate" them. WTF Crapcom

[SageHonor]

But the horror is lost.

[Venoxn4g]

I would like a new game like RE: revelations,but with lots less action sequences... but still revelations was good one

[Edface]

I don't think I've ever seen so much hate for a game prior to it's release. It's fair enough though, Resident Evil doesn't even deserve to be called Resident Evil any more. The perfect example of a franchise selling out.

[Vanfernal]

You must not be following the threads about DMC then. Now THAT is a game that's getting a lot of hate.

[peowpeow]

Haha yeah but it's a new dev on a reboot. We're watching this sellout of a game/series spiral :(

[Vanfernal]

I think that the main aspect of horror in general comes from a feeling of helplessness. That's what made the original Resident Evil games so horrifying. You had limited ammo, confined spaces and fixed angles that made you fear what was around every corner. You had to choose between fighting or fleeing in every encounter in order to preserve ammo. Once Resident Evil 4 came along, all those feeling of helplessness were gone.

You constantly gained ammo, you could upgrade you weapons to the point where they got overpowered and overall you just became a killing machine. When you are stronger than everything around you naturally lose all feelings of fear. I knew something went seriously wrong with the horror aspect of Resident Evil when I would run for my life because of a single zombie on a dark corridor, and yet, on the new Resident Evils I would charge straight into a mob of 20 villagers.

Capcom is in denial. They should just acknowledge that they strayed from what the series stood for. Heck, they said it themselves, the wanted R6 to appeal to the COD crowd.

[TongkatAli]

You cant F with this post. Someone pro RE6 respond to this and.explain its still RE. Me and my cousins in the 90s would always play RE games with lights closed and we effing loved every minute of it. 2012 we are all older and don't give shit about the new games, its really sad.

I remember hearing those zombie moans, being low on ammo and my health status was caution and felt like a beast when I would make it alive in each room.

[SAE]

Sorry for the disagree , didnt mean it , using a phone , bubble for your talk :)

[TongkatAli]

Me too!! You can tell by my second post, lol.

[SAE]

I kind of had the same experience you got , i wasnt a fan of resident evil 1-3 in it's time , my brothers lock the door and turn off the light to play the game so i get scared and hide in the room , then they drag me and corce me to watch , its funny now when i remember it , so yes , it was scary when i was a kid xD

when i played the game it was more scary and fun in the same time , everything you both said is true and i felt it when i was playing it , thats why i want it to be just like what you guys says , i seek for challenge too thats why im playing the old games i didnt complete them like mgs . Lol

[Cyb3r]

Capcom fucked up with RE6 they are just trying to keep the Resident Evil fanbase with comments like these.

[breakpad]

the horror has been lost from the moment that RE games (4 and after...) lost their atmosphere ..to put over grotesque enemies without any dose of realism it dosent make it horiffic...capcom just copy the old resis with new areas and we will be happy if you cannot evolve, as it seems, the series

[Hasanhastam]

They lose both horror and action.i can not see positive point in re6. Game is full of mistake.

[Robotronfiend]

Hopefully we can strip out ALL horror and fear from the game by adding Yoshiro Ono as a playable DLC character wearing a full body Blanka costume.

Capcom: Hey if we mix games we should get all the fans from both on board right? Right?

[RAFFwaff]

The problem that I have with the resi 6 demo, is that it wants to be Call of Duty with clunky stuttering resi controls, which seem to have taken a step BACKWARDS since resi 4 (whose controls weren't perfect, but a huge step forward for the series.)For resi to work WITH these controls and not have the player feel like they're constantly fighting against them, the game needs to go back to its slower paced survival roots. Resident Evil should be a completely different beast from Call of Duty and Gears of War. When it attempts to be (with added zombies), it becomes a poor imitation, and only reinforces what a bad fit it is in this genre. Although there were guns in both, Resident Evil 4 was a million miles away from a Call of Duty or Gears. I'm afraid the franchise must "simplify to multiply" as it were. After playing through Resident Evil Revelations on 3dsl I had high hopes that capcom were on the right track again. Judging by the underwhelming demo, I guess I was wrong.

[Urbz7870]

Crapcom would of just been better off making a HD collection of Resident Evil 1-3. Resident evil 6 has epic fail all over it.

[ballzdeep]

I see the name Crapcom being used often now. Lol, I guess its the newest fad. Btw, try not to fall off the band wagon, you might hurt yourself.

As for your comment, i call BS
Sure, an RE hd collection would prolly sell, but only for the sake of nostalgia
Case in point: Ps+ offered members the RE classics for free a while back. At first I was excited, but quickly changed my mind. Blocky, outdated graphics coupled with frustrating controls (were they really that bad?) made the game unplayable. I grew bored, turned it off and played RE5 online instead.

Thats the nature and EVOLUTION of a franchise

[Hasanhastam]

Resident evil 6 is my most memorable game. Especialy when you finding important stuff And know you will confront nemisis

[Gamer-Z]

Not surprised by it more action oriented just look at the new Movie lol

[DigitalAnalog]

The problem with this mentality is that there has YET to have a survival horror that blended action successfully. The only closest game in that department is Biohazard 4 and I still consider it a far cry from the "survival" horror from it's predecessors or games like silent hill.

[Dualshockers_Carlos]

It's simply not scary because all the playable characters are badasses. Don't get me started on boulder-punching chris redfield, how am i supposed to feel tense and afraid when i'm kicking ass everywhere i go? Look at dead space 1 and 2, issac is just a dude with engineer skills! Simple=Scary

[HiddenMission]

@carlos
Yeah in part one Issac was a noob but by the end he could handle himself. In part 2 he was already used to fighting necromorphs so he became a bad ass.

What you all seem to want to ignore is that when a game has reoccuring characters that are fighting the same type of enemies that they will naturally get better at beating that enemy.

You all want them to stay just as weak and pathetic...so just keep playing those titles. Its called character growth which is realistic.

Its like saying that with each new game the characters will have a memory loss and forget how to defend themselves from the same enemies from the last game.

[Dualshockers_Carlos]

I get what you mean but punching boulders? I don't know about that kind of growth dude

[SAE]

When the skill increase they should make you live in more danger environment , yes more ways for the gameplay but not make you a lot more powerfull then the enemy , at least balance the ammo the player get ...

[HiddenMission]

@carlos

Yeah Chris in part 5 was a bit much but thats the exception and not the rule considering that none of the other characters got that much of an upgrade. I can tell Capcom heard what we thought about Chris juicing which is why he is no longer that buff anymore.

[ame22]

You don't say?

[JAM_brz]

Stop purchasing the game, all of you. So maybe Capcom brings back our horror. Looks like the majority of gamers dislike this orientation in RE. But RE keeps selling more and more and more. Why?

[ballzdeep]

Your logic is flawed as it seems your comment contradicts itself.

"RE keeps selling more and more and more. Why?"
Obviously its because the majority of gamers, as you put it, DO like this orientation in RE

I for one am buying RE6
In fact im buying day one AND paying full price just to show my support for Capcom

[Plagasx]

Simple and plain. BE SURVIAL HORROR OR GET THE FUCK OUT!

Why MUST we always have the action just to satisfy all these COD/FPS fucks??!

[tigertron]

Well Capcom, I must say Chris and Jake's campaigns in the demo didn't scare me one bit. I'd like to know where the survival horror aspect comes in the middle of a battlefield.

Only buying this for Leon and Ada's campaigns, oh and mercenaries.

[likeaboss302]

The only tension for me during those parts are the crappy controls.

[Tundra]

Talk about being oblivious of every thing you've been doing since 2007.

Hey Capcom, you're losing your horror. I hope that finally sinks in and you go back to your roots.

[likeaboss302]

Went from day one purchase to day one rental after playing the demo. What have they done to the Resident Evil I remember?

[Straightupbeastly]

Action and horror don't mix, it's two different emotions. You can have action scenes, but if the entire game is based around d action, it will never be horror. Horror is slow and quiet.

[Npugz7]

I'm a long time fan of the series and I played the demo and am not impressed at all with the game. The first RE game I'm gonna skip

[smashcrashbash]

I would like to point out people should stop trying to makes excuses using RE4. RE4 was not like this at all. Many of us agreed that RE4 was a mix between the original survival horror and a more modern mechanics of the game. Don't try to pretend that RE4 was even close to what this is. At least RE4 was still a SURVIVAL horror and didn't have hordes of soldiers armed to the teeth behind you or zombies armed with guns and tried to pass itself off as a survival horror.

Call RE6 anything you like but it isn't a survival horror game. It is more like FEAR or Resistance. A game full of people with guns shooting at monsters.I wouldn't call FEAR survival horror so I don't see why you should call RE6 one either.Call it what it really is. A trigger happy shoot fest with zombies in it. Maybe people will be less angry if you just admit that you took away all the survival horror elements to compete with more modern trigger happy shooting games. That is obviously what you did so just admit it. Or can we expect the zombies to be driving tanks and flying jet planes while we fight them in giant mechs in Resident Evil 7 while you keep saying that you are just keeping the action in the game?

[Pintheshadows]

I played the demo. It's a linear 3rd person shooter with ridiculous controls and stupid pacing.

[Squall_Leonhart]

Haters gonna hate, stop hating if you haven't fully played the game. As they stated a while ago they're trying to take the same approach as Revelations which I don't see none of y'all complaining about. The game actually had its half horror/action and it did it pretty well so I wouldn't expect any less of the game if it's being made the same way. I really don't care what none of y'all say but I'm still buying this game regardless mathafuckas

[Getowned]

I played the demo,and I wasn't at all scared. The Walking Dead game made by telltale scared me more, seriously. This gen I really enjoyed Dead Space it scared me, it had a great story, fun game play. I loved it, Dead Space is the new Resident Evil (IMO) and I have high hopes for DS3; However, I did like resi6 Demo it was a good ACTION game and nothing more, I didn't even jump. I'm dissapointed, so much potential yet they fail to deliver the horror, zombies on their own arn't scarry anymore.

[wiz7191]

Either you buy the game or you dont , everybody need to shut up with the complaining. The game is completely fine to me and I owned every Resident Evil to date (well the console games) and Im cool with the change. Everybody the keep complaining why dont you get a job at Capcom and you can do a better job if you like since everybody wants to be a developer.

[Max-Zorin]

Horror went straight to hell. Silent Hill not even scary anymore.

[garibubuprincess]

So I guess I'm the only one who hasn't beat Resident Evil 6 yet, huh?

[user9841288]

K show us a clip of the horror part of the game then...

[GTRrocker666]

Resident evil was never scary. It was cheesy. Resident evil 4 was the best then 2. One had the best setting

[carlocgc]

we havnt had a good RE for a long time nor do i expect them to go back to the good ol days. Prerendered backgrounds and tank style controls ammo shortage and genuine atmosphere and tension. nowadays its just gears of war clone. hugely dissapointing but what do you expect of crapcom these days. i knew RE6 wasnt for me from the get go. while not bad in its own right its NOT resident evil as true fans know it but neither were 4 & 5. just got to let it go and play re1 remake yet again :)

[Flewid638]

Eeh, I agree with everything you're saying except for RE4. A departure (much needed) from the old RE-style yes....but a polished, AAA game nonetheless.

Otherwise yeah....everything else RE has blown since.

[dkgshiz]

Horror games are not scary to begin with. The only thing they try to do is toss in a jump scene every 10 min. Amnesia Dark Descent is probably really the only good horror game in the past 10 years to come out.

[hano]

They had 3 campaigns. They coulda made Leon's horror survival, but instead they just made it just another RE4.

They fail. That campaign shoulda been designed by the guys who worked on the first games.

But well, this game is gonna sell more than all the previous ones so I don't think Capcom needs to worry.

[Flewid638]

I just wish they'd fix the retardedly clunky controls.

They hurt my feelings. :-(

[Styxoric]

Losing the horror? you lost the horror a good while ago. You can't lose what you don't have.

I play the original trilogy today and i still get that sense of panic-horror. Whereas when i play the newer RE games i just feel like i'm watching an action flick.

Let the movies stick to action and leave the games out of it.

[Digimortal]

Okay I'm going to give my 2 cents on why i really enjoy the demo alot. Now before i begin, and before someone tells me that i started playing the series since 4 came out. NO I've been playing the series since day one and i play the game for its storyline and i follow that closely. Now As for 6, the controls are not clunky at all. The only issue i had with the controls was the cover system but i found a work around for that so that issue doesn't matter to me anymore. The shooting is fine, just like it was in 4 and 5, change the options around to use the classic laser sight.

Leon's Campaign felt more old school in a way, there isn't any boxes you can smash open in the demo to find ammo, ammo spawns just off the enemies you kill or you find them in desks, and other aspects. Unlike with Chris's Campaign, were you can get them from Boxes and enemies. Jake's is the same style as Chris's. Now with that said, the dodge system in the game i quite like it alot to be honest. It feels nice to slide under a table and start shooting at a zombie. I like the flow of it. The zombies in Leon's Campaign are zombies there just a different form of Zombies, this isn't the T-Virus anymore. As for the enemies in Chris and Jake's Campaign those are not Zombies and i hate when people say that.

The inventory system is not confusing at all, you have two aspects within your inventory system, a section that shows ammo, herbs, and other items you pick up and the other section is for your weapons you pick up in the environment. The skill system sounds interesting as well but i don't know enough about it except for what i saw in a video yesterday.

Anyways if you don't like the game that is perfectly fine i understand that. I don't play the games cause of the gameplay aspect, i play them for the storyline cause i love what Capcom Created.

I just finished up on the demo. I thought it was pretty good. Made me want to pick up the game on day one. I thought it had good pacing and i liked the ability to finally shoot while moving. I feel the game is progressing pretty well. I personally have liked the RE games. I like 1,2,3:Nemesis,4,5 and i think ill like 6.

one thing about this game, I don't want it to feel sloppy and slow like resident evil 1 2 3, because since when did you see a retard trying to turn on himself to shoot something. it doesn't feel natural and even for a survival, it's only survival because your character is extremely slow. you need responsive controls.

BUT

the survival part is NOT in resident evil 6 demo.

Your character has to be weak and fragile ; more gun recoil, less bullets, more damage from enemies, Cover places to hide yourself to, more emphasis on health, etc.

In a survival game, your suppose to fear death. in this demo, well I was able to melee 80% of the zombies and I got hit maybe twice!
