Resident Evil 6

[AsteroidBlues]

Someone will want to kill me for saying this, but...from what I've seen so far...the graphics, the varied gameplay, the voice acting, the soundtrack, all of it...this is a serious, SERIOUS potential "Game of The Year" contender right now.

I think we both might get strung up for thinking that, because I agree wholly. I'm still a tad bit skeptical, but I'm liking more about this game then I had originally thought I would.

A snippet from Destructoids' hands-on with Chris' scenario opening:


It took me a minute or two to recognize Chris Redfield. In fact, it wasn't until Piers Nivans, a BSAA agent that was sent to retrieve Chris from his hiatus in Eastern Europe, began talking to him that it clicked for me. Chris had been drinking, and in calling for another round, the bartender cut him off. He was kicked out of the bar, but refused to leave.

This being a seedy bar, things got rough, almost escalating into a fight. Piers stopped it, though. He had been searching for Chris for six months, and though he was disappointed by his drunken state, he did not intend to back down. He insisted that Chris belonged at the BSAA, and was needed. It turned out that nearly everyone in the bar was also a BSAA agent, and they were all there to bring him back home -- by force, if needed.

Sounds great the stories all seem much more interactive and deep this time around.

Seriously what the hell happen to Chris? He never did this when he thought Jill was dead. I can't believe it's just the killing of his squad.

We don't know that he didn't get drunk for the first year after it happened. XD

God knows how he was but he was pretty suicidal, when Jill 'died' he voluntered to go to Africia on some bogus mission in search of someone who was thought to be dead. Sitting in a bar drowning your sorrows is a tad bit less dramatic if you ask me.

IT HAS EVERYTHING...

Tell us everything.

Needs more fixed camera angles.

Needs more loading screens with slow doors opening. Would also prefer loading screens of FPV of walking up and down stairs.

I don't know if this has been posted or not so don't sue me but the nohopeleft.com site has been updated in the past few days.

I haven't been scared by a BIO game since I was about 10. I don't see how any adult can be scared by any of the other games either outside of jump scares, which most people bitch about as being "cheap".

I don't think it's about being "scared." Many of us are adults, so we're obviously not going to go hide under the bed from anything we've seen in a game. But it is about being made uncomfortable; about not knowing if what lurks around the corner is an empty corridor or an unfathomable creature aiming for your head with its claws in mid-lunge. The original games were great at producing a creepy atmosphere and making the player feel vulnerable. RE4 had some of this; RE5 had almost none. From what I've seen thus far, RE6 is on track to be exactly like RE5, but with better atmosphere.

If I want cinematic horror, I'll watch a movie. I play games for the gameplay.

The "new Chris" concept is great. He has been a fairly dull and by-the-books character since his appearance. A typical hero who doesn't seem to suffer from the events surrounding him. If his dialogue in the previous trailers (in the script, but not translated into the game for some fucktard reason) is to be believed, then he has a life-threatening injury that will eventually kill him. That alone is reason enough for him to be in such a state. Add to it the fact that he was forced to watch his team die, yet again. It's great character development for a character who has never really had much.

I like it, too. It paints a more realistic picture of a character who (aside from one appearance) I've always found exceedingly boring. Although you may not be able to tell so by the stunts they perform, Chris and Leon are supposed to be human. I like that they're trying to show that fact.

The idea that the game oozes more atmosphere than RE4 is laughable considering the bulk of what we've seen has been over-the-top bullshit on par with ORC.

Agreed. As much as RE4 is hated amongst many die-hard fans of the series, I don't think Capcom will ever be able to recreate the atmosphere of the village.

Of course, this is only what we've seen so far. My biggest fear is that the game will be extremely environmentally linear (even more so than RE5, if that's possible). I have no interest in linear, point A-to-point B games. Exploration is critical, and the introduction of co-op to the series seems to have pretty much killed it. Do people actually like games where moving from one arena to the next via a linear corridor is the norm?!

If I want a bunch of cinematic sequences with lots of running and explosions, I'll watch a movie. I play games for the gameplay.

I'm intrigued by the Health Tablets though, Max Payne much?

I think they're just trying to make it more realistic, perhaps by answering the age-old question of how the herbs are actually administered. From Jake's demo it is evident that you still pick up herbs in the environment; how they become health tablets is anyone's guess.

Just want to say about that IGN idiot what the hell is his problem? He actually said at one point 'You can skip the story which helps' WTF?? Why is this asshole even reviewing the game he clearly doesnt give a shit or have any idea wtf he is talking about. 'Ohh old school fans can suck it' What a gimpy cheeky little bastard. Why is everyone at IGN such a bunch of knobheads. Is that what qualifys for a good reviewer now? Can you imagine that in Empire movie magazine reviews. 'The new Star Wars is awesome and if the old school dont like it then they can fuck off!' Cheeky fucking rat.

To me the guy was just trying to say that the game will appeal to those who know little or nothing about the story of the previous games. Sure, he could have just said what I just said, but remember that the criteria for being hired at IGN is an IQ lower than 70.

Opening looks great. We'll finally get to see the Chris Redfield that would get kicked out of the air force and punch a man for spilling coffee on him.

It's sad though. He saves the world multiple times, and the bartender can't let him have one for the road?

You can finally kick a box open, thank god.

Shame it doesn't have audio.

Thanks for the links, Elusion.

Unfortunately, aside from the opening cutscene, this looks boring as hell. Bland environments, boring combat, and linearity. With each new video this looks more and more like RE5, which was easily the weakest game in the main series. Apparently Capcom learns nothing. They think COD junkies are going to eat this shit up, but why would they with a new COD game just around the corner?

Not to mention that parts of this just look like they'll be boring as hell on a second playthrough (like all the QTEs). That's the problem with all these interactive movie-style games - they're not designed for replayability. Once you've found out the outcome and played through the story, there's nothing left, since the actual gameplay isn't strong enough to come back to.

Games are just getting worse and worse.

[Vito]

Well guess I'm lucky since I loved RE5, hehe.

[Det. Beauregard]

Has anyone seen anything involving in-game files or items that are able to be examined? Just wondering, since these have been staples of the RE series for quite some time now.

[Smiley]

Bland and boring?

In the case of Redfield's section the scenario looks enriched with color and detail over the environments. What I like about the Chris section is that this is a hardened Chris on the edge. He saved Claire and Jill, but here he's lost the team that trusted him under his command. He killed Wesker, but the battle is far from over. He's out for blood.
