Resident Evil 6

[Dark_Chris]

Well lets face it, they have the right to release Ada's campaign as DLC, we are getting 3 campaigns on release in the RE6 package, that is a huge game right there.

Ada's campaign isn't just a LIN but a completely new full campaign. Ada's campaign is actually possibly the best DLC I have seen in a game ever, not a costume pack, not some missions were you control another character.

If Capcom gives us awesome DLC then how can we complain? because it's already on the disc? fine enjoy the downloading. But if Capcom price it right then I don't see why they should not try and profit from such a beast of a package.

3 campaigns was what we were told we will get and if you complain about paying extra money for another HUGE add on then I don't know what I can say.

You are right in some way, because RE6 is a HUGE game as it is. But still if Capcom has all of this content already on disc in the time when I bought it, than why I need to buy it again? This is just wrong.

Well disc locked content can also be taken as a no need to download the files method.

Well disc locked content can also be taken as a no need to download the files method.

It can also be taken as "the content is already fully there, we're just going to fish for some extra coin". Disc locked content is mainly retarded because it's already complete. On the disc. It's just locked away and requires the consumer to pay extra for something they should already have complete access to. It's a cheap, inefficient and ultimately pointless method of content delivery when actually downloading the content is as viable as it's ever going to be. It's a greedy, bastard method of squeezing a little more out of the consumer's pockets. No improvements are able to be made to the content, because it's already there. Now, if they actually used proper DLC, they could take as much time as they want to improve and add more to the content, rather than being constrained by the limits on the DVD/Blu-Ray. Then they could release something genuinely new.

I hope they whine like a little bitch once someone hacks the game and makes Ada's campaign playable without paying a cent, like they did with the MvC3 and SFxT characters.

Well, on the very least, for the PC thats sure.

You think other companies don't already have the content complete and ready for dispatch? they do, but they don't get mentioned because they keep it in house waiting to be uploaded.

Nobody denies that. Doesn't make CAPCOM doing it any less reprehensible.

Bare in mind I'm not aware of any spoilers or anything.

Right. The vibe i'm getting from this game, and the demo, is that Chris is dying. This entire game is about his swan song to the series, one final last hurrah. Resident Evil 5 was about celebrating the character, Resident Evil 6 is about deconstructing him. He will be the first major casualty that the series will suffer.

How do you think he'll go out? In a huge blaze of glory series defining 'I'm going to save the world as I die' moment. Or a *shock -ll bets are off* style death. I'm leaning toward that Capcom are going to give him a worthy send off. Unforgettable.

Unless he survives. In which case, ignore.

Capcom will never grow the balls to kill off any of the mains, let alone Chris.

I think it's safe to say Chris and Leon are immune to the death card by now. Chris is Capcom's favorite, and Leon is #1 fan favorite followed by Jill (or Chris since I think Jill has lost quite some fanbase in the past several years). Capcom needs Chris to continue the frontlines anti-Bioterrorism plot, and reviving Umbrella gives Chris even more reasons to continue fighting. And all three Chris, Leon and Jill are money makers for Capcom, they need to be kept for fanservice so Capcom can keep increasing their digital bank counters.

Chris in this game is more of "fighting, dropping, getting back up rageful and full of thirst for a bloody revenge". He's moving from being the calm cool Chris to the more aggressive thirsty for blood bioterrorism hunter. He's described to "murder his path through China to find those responsible", seems like they woke up the ruthless side of Chris.

Claire, now she is one character I can see Capcom killing. Her death would make for a very good plot twist.

Heres who I think will die for good in RE6

Hunnigan and Ada

I made a topic a while ago of my opinion that Hunnigan will be caught trying to help Leon and Helena.

In my head heres how it will go:

We hear Simmons voice off screen that startles Hunnigan. She tries to play it cool but Simmons knows exactly what she has been up to, the door opens and 2 or more soldiers working for Simmons walks into the room going both sides of Hunnigan. She looks stunned but knows she is in the deep end. Simmons exchanges some sly or un nerving words with her and he gives the signal, the camera switches as Hunnigan's head is grabbed by one of the soldiers and with the command Hunnigans neck is snapped, she is helpless.

Well that is just what I had in my head while typing that thread.

[ElusionM]

They could make it so Leon and Helena are given a live feed of Hunnigan being killed, like villains usually do so the protagonists are screaming not to do it but cannot do anything to help because they won't even know where they are and it'll be too late anyways.

As for Ada, I am sure Leon will kill her, just like Chris will kill Carla and Jake will kill Simmons.

Yep.

It saddens me that all this stuff will be DLC. I expected Ada's campaign to be, but all these multiplayer modes and maps, too? When will this shit end?!

[ElusionM]

I don't think it's necessarily "confirmed" to be DLC. As far as I know anyways.

[Rancid Cheese]

I really enjoyed the RE6 Demo. I've only tried each campaign once (not that Leon's demo has much replay value . . .) and I enjoyed Jake's the most. My only complaint is that the camera is FAR too close to them. Your character takes up almost a 1/3 of the screen and what feels like almost 1/2 when you aim, this is terrible and in a crowded situation is no use at all. This is most apparant in Chris' where you had to ascend and descend frequently and it was quite disorientating and difficult to pinpoint where to go or where you were being attacked from. The logic that not being able to see your enemies can be scary works, but not because all you can see is the protagonist.

[Vito]

Ada's campaign is apparently confirmed DLC. No, not downloadable content. CAPCOM's beloved Disc Locked Content model. Most of the Mercenaries modes are also DLC, along with two stage packages and more.



CAPCOM strikes again!

Camera options are confirmed.

Hahahaah holy shit I didn't notice that Leon dives out of the way of a zombie jumping for him. That is hilarious.
