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

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

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

[-Foxtrot]

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.

[RpgSama]

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.

[MadLad]

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.

😂 smoking that meh

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.

[hotnickles]

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

[TheEnigma313]

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

“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

[TheEnigma313]

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.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

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

[Vanfernal]

The only reason I had any fun with this game is because I played it with a buddy and we were making fun of how God awful it was. It's a bad game, it was poorly received by both critics and players, and we don't need another one.

[MadLad]

There will never be another Elder Scrolls: Redguard (and that sucks)

.....
.........

Crap. Where am I? I think I just had a stroke.

[Becuzisaid]

Here, I fixed the title:
"There will never be another Resident Evil that sucks (like 6)"

[isarai]

Can we please stop with these random articles glorifying RE6? RE is in a very good spot right now, but keep making these and they'll get the wrong idea and we'll be back to losing what makes the series great

[franwex]

It’s a fun game for all the wrong reasons.

[Knightofelemia]

Damn the author is smoking some really cheap shit. RE6 blows it might have fans to it but the majority is the game blows. It was ok to campaign co-op with a friend good thing I I got drunk but the game is shit too much cinematics I just wanted to skip the scenes and play the actual game. What's next There Will Never Be Another Dead Space 3 (And That Sucks).

[AngainorG7X]

What?

[cammers1995]

It was trash. People like the author of this article is why resident evil was dying until they rebooted it with 7. Good riddance to the trashy resident evil era. Don’t like it? Go play Fortnite.

[zacly]

I loved 5. Great co-op experience! Was it a RE game? Maybe not, but it was still great fun and I want another like it!
