Read this, Chris may have lots of action but times like these are certainly included, a glimpse of the snake, chasing it down not sure when the cloaking monster will pounce at you.

The point is:
CAPCOM IS trying to ripoff a bit of Call of Duty and add more action-oriented elements to attract more fans and getting more money. Calling us retarded for not seeing the obvious is the real ignorance.

Ok so every action game from now on is CoD ropoff...... >.>

Being influenced by the current market trend doesn't mean it's ripping off CoD, which is such a generic and unoriginal series to begin with that any scenario where you have soldiers fighting in a modern setting looks like CoD.

[Dark_Chris]

No

But you brilliant logic says so.

That's not what I mean. I mean that a lot of people actually calls RE6 a CoD ripoff specially because of the war zone setting and the mindless shooting. I think I left it clear it was not a ripoff, but got inspirated by it. Just like RE2 and the movie Aliens.

We mostly say that's CoD, because CoD is the most popular between them.

Well that right there is why it's been called a COD rip off, because COD is so popular that people instantly think of it, a fault in gaming today I think many will agree.

Just repeating it:
-War zone setting
-Mindless shooting
-Not a full ripoff (got inspirated by it)
-CAPCOM said they want it's fans

COD ripped off Medal of Honor, people who remember Medal of Honor use to be the big one before COD.

They WANT COD sales and to attract COD players but you seem to forget that RE3 had tons of heavy weaponry, tons of actions, action has been in RE for a very long time.

When did RE1, 2 or 3 needed that you blow up a number of enemies to get ammo, health and stuff or even to proceed in the game?
Or that you only needed to follow one single path and not search the place for keys?

Man, there's a big difference between action and mindless action.
The main objective of the classics RE was to escape the place alive, not to shoot everything.
Every game has a bit of action, that's inevitable.

But how can it be a mindless shooter when you have to look after your ammo, collect health items, use your movements to your advantage, use melee smartly because of the stamina gauge (Which I hope they make your stamina go down faster, it is over powered right now)

A lot more thinking to it then just shooting in a First Person Shooter. Complete regenerating health and basic soldiers, not soldiers that mutate into a completely new threat.

I play MANY FPS games and even work on some, cover, shoot, reload, take cover to regenerate my health completely is all you do.

[Dark_Chris]

Just repeating it:
-War zone setting

Doesn't have anything to do with riping off CoD (or inpiration).

-Mindless shooting

Same as above...oh and mindless shooting is something completelly different than what is seen in RE6 so far, but good try.

-Not a full ripoff (got inspirated by it)

Simply NO for either.

-CAPCOM said they want it's fans

No, Capcom said they want it's sales. BIG difference.

In shooter games, you also have to look for those things. Medipacs, ammo, use the movement. (I'm not saying this is a ripoff before you start it).
What makes it "mindless shooter" is that the main objective is to shoot and kill everyone.
You're not forced to look for keys, you're not forced to solve puzzles, but you are forced to kill all the enemies to proceed in the game, that's why.

Wait and see how people handle RE6 when they try and shoot everything, just like in so many demo playthroughs I have seen and you wanna know what I heard so many times in all of them?

"I'm out of ammo" "I need ammo" They ran out of Machine Gun ammo with Chris.

They HAD to switch to the pistol or use the Melee, you CANNOT go mad with shooting everything it's in almost every demo playthrough you will see.

You gotta be kidding me, are you really saying that this whole "WARRRRRR!!!!! ACTIIIIOOOONNNN!!! SHOOOOOOT!!!" was not inspirated by Call of Duty and all the other generic shooters there are on the market with the same fucking second world war scenario to get more sales? Wow.

And yeah, in words of CAPCOM "we dream that CoD fans that enjoy generic shooters get attracted to our game!". To enjoy the game, they must change the game to mindless-shooting style.

[Darkmoon]

It's impossible to say that Capcom doesn't have one eye firmly on Call Of Modern Battlefield. Any number of there higher ups have said exactly that.

That doesn't mean RE6 is a rip off. But it does mean it'll include some of the ideas and logic from those games that Capcom think will fit the game. So (at least partially) regenerating health, ammo drops, epic set piece battles across whole cities, the world being in danger and only YOU can save it...etc, etc. And of course a heavier focus on co-op.

The question becomes which elements will actually fit and which will feel like they've been copy and pasted to make Capcom cash.
