Resident Evil 6

[Wrathborne]

No, that isnt a challenge. That's conforming to the newer fan base.

The giant monster chasing you and you cant really defend yourself from it works in the dark, 'Amnesia:The Dark Descent' proved this all too well.

Fear and the dark go hand in hand, you feel safer in the day because you can see everything and if you know what direction the things coming from all the time...then you just have to run.

If you dont know wheres its coming from then you dont know where to run.

[shanemurphy]

But that's good level design, not knowing were it's coming from can work in the day light, it just needs the attention to the level design to pull it off, I know we will see darker areas in Jake's campaign, it's a given really.

Amnesia's fear came from it's lack of weapons, your ability to defend yourself ( or lack of I should say ), darkness is a powerfull tool but it certainly is not the only tool to provide a quality horror.

For example:

We could see clearly in RE3 with Nemesis, but his lingering music and presence was all so clear to us, I know I know the camera angles, but that is were creativity comes into play, we may be able to use the camera better in RE6, but hearing that suspenseful music, that presence that even a piece of paper floating around the room from the wind steals your attention, then you know your attention cannot stay with one simple object.

No come back, we have run out of chairs I swear!

That's quite an imagination you got there. These two are having a nice, peaceful debate. They're probably sipping some latte while typing to each other.... with mind-melting muzak playing in the background.

Come back when News Bot and Smiley start discussing anything (and I mean anything) and then you'll see the furniture flying here.

Lol Wrathborne. I havent these News Bot and Smiley blow outs I'l keep an eye out for them though.

On topic anyway according to the OPM magazine the Leon campaign is supposed to be the one you should playthrough first so I am guessing Chris and Jake last. However I think I will throw this in reverse and keep the best until last. Get the melee crap out of the way then action and horror last. What do you guys think?

I love how RE4 and 5 handle their melee combat, and I'm really excited to see Sherry again, but I am most excited for Leon's campaign. I'll probably get Chris's out of way with Chris>Jake>Leon, in that order.

Actually, since the game ends in China, its recommended Chris' scenario be played last.

Chris and the BSAA go in there to stop the outbreak, rescue the UN official, and Chris wants to tighten his hands around the throats of the people responsible. This basically says his scenario, storywise, is the most important so far from what we know, whereas Leon is basically trying to help survivors, and Jake is being escorted by Sherry to her agency. Another notable point being that Leon/Helena need to migrate over to China mid-scenario as opposed to Jake/Sherry and Chris/BSAA who start off in China post Serbia events 6 months prior to any of the present events.

Leon-->Jake-->Chris sounds the best course of playthrough.

I assume the Prologue (Chris Serbia/Jake Serbia) will be playable separately as well, so I guess the following would make the most sense and be the best order to play the game in:

Serbia scenarios
Leon US
Leon China
Jake China
end with Chris China

That said, the ending itself will comprise of all 6 characters together, but the major goal and point of interest in China seems to be finding and killing the people responsible (i.e. possibly Alex, and Ada/Carla) which is more from Chris' point of view. As far as the trailers go anyways.

Start with Leon, bridge with Jake, end with Chris for me.

level designs in the beginning

Let's just hope that they aren't linear as shit like RE5.

I agree. I also think that darkness and horror go hand in hand; horror in brightness nullifies much of the fear. The developers can be as creative as they like, but you can still see the enemy coming.

Jake first, Chris second, Leon third. I agree with you. I have little interest playing as a near-invincible melee-fest character. That is not Resident Evil to me.

Didn't the developers say that the game was originally going to star Leon and not even have Chris in it, but that they liked the concept of them fighting? I don't think any one scenario will have more impact on the story than the others; they will all be important to the outcome.

[LVL100 Merchant]

I think one thing that remains to be seen is; how will the inventories work? Will each scenario have its own inventory? Or will it be completely persistent, so we can complete Chris's campaign with ridiculously powerful guns and still have those available when we start Leon's?

[Smiley]

I just want to go on record and say that News Bot and I went to Disneyland together. And we spent the entire drive debating specifics of the plots to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Tron: Legacy.

[Tyrant Rose]

Have we seen any indication that the events/outcome of the game might change depending on the order you play the scenarios in? Because if so, I'm going to flip some tables out of sheer excitement.

The game absolutely will be linear as shit. Have you seen the screen shots of Leon's campaign with the objective markers that are just oh-so-popular these days?
