Resident Evil 6?

[Shadow Stalker]

Whoever they use as the next main villain needs to have time to form some antagonistic bonds with the protagonist's if Capcom's gonna have a chance of creating another character as popular as Wesker. Simply sticking Wesker in the character's name and making him even more powerful and evil will only appeal to the kinda kids who love whoever has the most firepower and is the biggest badass. The Sephiroth fans who only know he's got a frickin' huge sword and is awesomely strong kind of fan.

Ideally, someone like Excella would have survived to this point and could step up to take over, with at least one game as a side kick under there belt. Unfortunately, most of the potential enemies were killed off...so they're gonna need to, instead, bring back a second string villain (Nicholai being the only one still potentially kicking, but Krauser survived at least once when he should have died, so he might work too) and have them working for the new big bad to give them some credit.

The only alternative is making Ada the badguy (but she only works for Leon), having it be a heel turn from someone like Sherry (you guys left me to be experimented on...you ass holes. Now I'm evil and it's gonna suck for you!) or having a previously thought dead villain returning (Alexia or Wesker). And even then, they're gonna need un-Capcom levels of writting to pull it off.

Most likely, we're just gonna get Alex Wesker being super awesome for two games before Capcom catch on no one cares about him, kill him off and reboot the series.

That's a good point Darkmoon. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Nicholai Ginovaef returning as a villain. But well see won't we?

there should be gameplay like the old games and but id like to see hunk going through the game this time and find out more to his story. have some puzzles and give that element of fear back back to the series.

just giving my input: resident evil 6 another game sounds cool but how is it gonna be is it going to be the best one ever or not

[Darkmoon]

Depends on if Capcom can give us a decent plot with horror and old school elements while adding enough action for those who want those. I'd also like multilple playthroughs and exploration to make a return, but at this point I don't wanna be greedy. I'm fully expecting a terrible story about Alex Wesker filled with Bullet Time run and gun action.

Dear God.

I'm just following the trend. And it scares me.

If this was a sprite game, Alex would probably be a pallet swap Albert.

Combine these two for the worst RE story ever! Tons of Wesker children running around, with Weskers that freeze you, Weskers that spit acid at you, Weskers that use telekinesis, and Weskers that throw spears out of their hand to impale you.

I think there is a 50-50 chance.

[Darkmoon]

I'm leaning more towards 70% Crap, 20% Good and 10% Resident Evil: The Movie: The Game. My only real ray of hope is RE5 took so much flak for being so unscarry.

This, so hard.

My guess is Capcom is rushing RE6 to milk the franchise one final time this generation with the old Romero style zombies, given the current popularity of zombies in pop-culture and overabundance of zombie modes in games. I'm sure it will be an RE4/5 clone and I wouldn't put it past Capcom to have Alexa Wesker create a new tyrant.

I hope they give a reboot time to be properly fleshed out, waiting until next generation for DX11 graphics and bring a new cast, puzzles and horror back into the franchise.

This topic has so many potential great ideas, but everyone should come to terms with Resident Evil 6: Ada "Devil May Cry" Wong featuring super-duper backflip antics in scantily clad clothing.

Never mind...

I'm probably one of the very few that thought that Wesker should have stayed dead in the first Resident Evil. That whole part where he supposedly injected himself before-hand with a virus in the event that he would die was so damn cheesy, tacked-on, and ridiculous that it's not even funny, and yet so many people were cool with it. Bringing Wesker back in Code Veronica was nothing but to provide shock value and fan service, period. Resident Evil didn't need a main villain. And before someone goes "Yeah it did", let me remind you that RE2 and RE3 didn't have a main villain. Yes, RE2 had Birkin and Irons, and RE3 had Nicolai and Nemesis, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a main villian who was in the grander scheme of things, like a puppet master pulling the strings. And that's exactly what Wesker was, and sure enough, in Code Veronica, it was there that they decided to make him magically alive. Then they show him get killed in Code Veronica again, only to be revealed in the PS2 version that you should forget completely about his second death, and that they would re-write it so that he actually didn't die in Code Veronica. The future storyline of Resident Evil was doomed right there.

I was so against that, and that is why I started disliking Resident Evil right after Code Veronica. RE1, RE2, and RE3 are as "Resident Evil" as you're gonna get.

What?
Last time we see Wesker in CV is when he is thrown around by Alexia. And then, while still pretty much alive, he flees. Moreover, in Wesker's result screen in Battle Mode he's standing besides a submarine (iirc) which suggests that's how he escaped from Antarctica.
CVX didn't change anything story-wise, it just changed/added cut-scenes that made Wesker look more awesome (Wesker vs Alexia battle where he isn't just a wimp, Wesker vs Chris battle where he is unstoppable etc.).

Just for the record, just because a character is in an optional bonus game doesn't mean that it has anything to do with the story. This always pissed me off, just like Hunk in RE2. People keep thinking that Hunk in RE2 is cannon. Umbrella only launched ONE Mr. X into the RPD, not multiple ones. The Hunk RE2 battle mode is just that, an optional bonus mini-game, which should not be taken as cannon.

But you're right about Wesker surviving in the Dreamcast Code Veronica. It's been a very long time since I played that, and I don't know why, but I had always thought that Wesker got burnt to a crisp when Alexia threw that fire at the door.

But my point regarding Wesker's revival still remains.

[Darkmoon]

The thing is, there is some truth to Hunk's mission. He (and his mission) is included in Umbrella Chronicles, and he's mentioned in CODE: Veronica. So we know Hunk himself did do stuff in Raccoon City and such.
