Resident Evil 6

[CrimsonElder]

So I am really struggling to see what the craze is about RE6 on this forum. Several other people I have spoken to think it looks like shit. Anyone feel like filling me in on what it is exactly that is so appealing about this game? Apart from the improved dialogue of course. I wont knock you on your views I am just confused as hell and feel like the whole forum is playing a trick on me in pretending to like it. I really hate the gameplay like ALOT, so can someone please tell me what it is that I am missing?

I'm not 100% sold on the game, but I wouldn't say it looks like shit.
I'd say its refreshing a lot of what they have going on for the action in the game, even though I would really prefer to see some more horror and suspense in it.

Yeah ok fair enough but dont you think the action looks mediocore at best? Its hardly anything ground braking.

CrimsonElder: You don't missing anything. It's just not your cup of tea. Case closed.

Obviously, you are missing consciousness. Seriously though, I don't know how I can explain it to you.... It's just awesome. It seems to take a lot of the gripes a lot of people have had since RE4 and has systematically attempted to make them better. Once again Capcom is doing what the fans want, (Which they HAVE been all along, but I won't get into that again), and we're kind of excited about it.

Fun. Plenty of content. Plenty of replay value. Interesting story. Nice cast. Great atmosphere. Great enemy design. Great set-pieces. Great environments. Great combat. Great presentation. Great gameplay mechanics. High level of options.

Overall, even if it doesn't end up being a horror-focused title, it will still be a great game.

Pretty much this, I couldn't care less if it isn't survival horror anymore.

+1 News Bot said it best.

I hate to say it but Capcom is right, Survival Horror just does not sell anymore. I mean Survival Horror like static camera angles and tank controls but there is half way points to keep fans like us happy and Resident Evil 6 so far is looking like a great attempt to please us while still making a product that can sell in todays market.

Even Dead Space 3, a series that retained so much of that horror is basically doing what RE5 did for sales. I must admit if Dead Space 3 has co-op similar to RE5, optional or not it still would kinda be funny.

People say Dead Space has taken the "torch" from RE but in reality? no it has not because it still needs RE to keep it going. It took RE4 to show everyone that over the shoulder can work and be popular, Resident evil 5 did co-op which is liked by many and now Dead Space wants a piece of the action.

Anyway slight rant over.

the action is still the same(point and shoot etc), but its the reaction that's changed. I'm not just talking about enemies reactions to being shot now(saw plenty of new animations there) but also that the player can now get in-capped and fight on the ground, roll around to avoid being hit and counter enemy attacks.

Some of these options I would have said 'meh' too but they've grown on me some now, the more creative use of background environments has definitely been a welcome surprise. I like seeing buildings collapsing around you, being able to climb across poles and leap over areas.

While some of this is expanded from RE4, its nice to see it being much more fluid as well as being put around in more than one or two places in a map. I'm still iffy about the vehicles int he game because I've never been a fan of them, but we'll see what happens.

[shanemurphy]

I will agree that vehicles is a delicate feature in RE. I think the saving grace for it though will be one player controlling the vehicle and the co-op partner has to do the shooting in a non rail shooter style. Just make sure your friend can handle the driving of the vehicle lol

Well yeah, you're an RE5 fan.

[Vito]

Well yeah, you're an RE5 fan.

LOL, I'm a Resident Evil fan, I enjoy all the games (some more than others of course).

But I have the common sense to see that Survival Horror is dead and it will never come back to the series. Never. That Resident Evil as been buried.

Good thing I enjoy both styles equally.

[Wrathborne]

Shouldn't say that SH wont return to the series until after you play Leons campaign.Who knows? maybe the middle of his section is actually some scary twisted shit?
