Resident Evil 6

[shanemurphy]

Playing as Sherry, man. Awful. Absolutely awful. Died numerous times in her campaign simply because of the camera angle. They could have brought back RE 1/2/3's fixed camera angles and it would have been better than this.

Anyone know if collecting all the emblems does anything? Any easter eggs found yet?

I also HATE the weapon changing screen, but it could be because I'm not used to it yet. The layout is terrible.

It's not because of the camera angle you died, it's because it is a new game with a new system that takes time to learn like....any video game with a new system.

SO there any special rules regarding spoilers from stuff found in demo files?

Yeah I'm really pleased with how much customisation is possible, even an option for sort-of classic controls, such as aiming and everything being done on the left analogue, giving the impression that you can't move and shoot (though you of course can).

Must say as well, the graphics are absolutely stunning.

And I hope no spoilers come out of this demo - reHorror just about ruined any aspect of mystery with their clusterfuck approach to the Resident Evil 5 demo.

I would imagine if you mark your spoilers using the spoiler tag above and note the severity of the spoiler outside of the tag, it shouldn't be an issue.

Personally, I can't wait to see what is pulled from this demo.

No, it's because of the camera angle and it's piss poor field of view. I can cite two occasions (which is one too many considering it's only about three rooms) in the Jake/Sherry scenario ;

- The gimmicky camera angle at the start, where you're dropped into the game and have to run down.
- My first time during the boss fight when playing as Sherry, weaving around corners, only to bump into the stupid Jake AI.

You're right, I did die because it's a new game - it's basically a matter of knowing the layouts of each stage and until then, you're at a severe disadvantage. That's because of your inability to survey your surroundings for any sort of tactical awareness.

You could examine things in the Revelations demo.

Well yes but you could't read files. On top of that both demos were quite different from the final product, even some areas being cut to make the demo shorter.
Chances are that medallions, enemy placement, ammo, weapons and files are changed in the final version. If not we already know where three medallions are XD

Edit: You can actually survey the whole boss room before triggering his appearance <_< There's even a weapon to be found upstairs with a waypoint showing up when you're close enough.

[shanemurphy]

Okay so the biggest problem so far seems to be the extremely close camera to the player which in ways I can agree with, also some camera fixes such as the Ustanak chase which lets face it that should be a fixed camera from the start, the space is so closed in it needs the camera taken completely away from the player for their own benefit and the immersion itself.

Anyone who's running the demo from a DVD having any problems with Chris' scenario? Keeps crashing at random moments.

[Archelon]

Does anyone else find it rather odd that they would do away with the treasures and money only to require us to still actually pick up experience points? It just seems unnecessary.

[shanemurphy]

Could be a bad burn Tyrant, if your re-writer is completely fine try burning at a slow speed, fast burn speeds can cause problems. It could also be the actual files themselves but if the files and your burner are fine then burning at a slower speed is all I can recommend.

EDIT:

I think I saw Sherry opening a chest with a treasure in it, maybe treasure gets some type of currency for weapons and items while Skill points only upgrade your character?

[Archelon]

It's not a treasure, per se. It's a giant, ornate chess piece worth a boatload of experience points. Each chess piece is worth a different amount of experience points.

I just don't really understand why experience points are an item you have to physically pick up. Why not just keep the economy system from 4 and 5 instead? Or implement the weapon upgrade system from Revelations?

Although we don't yet know exactly how the skill points system works, I like the idea. It will probably add more replayability in a way that treasure and money would not be able to do. I never felt those things fit with RE, anyway.

[shanemurphy]

Aw crap, I wonder is weapon upgrades and attachments gone now

[Archelon]

I never felt those things fit with RE, anyway.

Not sure how picking up chess pieces that grant your character experience fit any more than the treasures or money.

[Sly]

Money is now called Skill Points because you will have to upgrade your character, not your weapons. It would not make sense to pay money to upgrade a character, so they changed the name, but in the end it works exactly the same (how you pick them up + treasures).

[shanemurphy]

Treasures fit with certain environments. A old Castle, the African ruins but treasures in Tall Oaks or China would not make as much sense.

EDIT:

Okay....maybe China it would!
