From G4:
It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.
“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series,” commented Katsuhiko Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing. “The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to deliver the most impressive Resident Evil title ever both in terms of scope and production values. We are all genuinely excited by the title and cannot wait to share it with the world.”
What a nice b-day present this will be. I just hope it plays like 4 and not the god awful 5.

Yes x 1000. To me, true RE will always be zombies, not pseudo-zombies like the Ganados. I hope they updated the play/control style to reflect the advances that games like Gears of War and Dead Space have made to the 'RE4 formula'. RE4 was fairly revolutionary when it came out, but the gameplay already felt a bit outdated by the time RE5 hit shelves. It does look like they've adopted a Gears-like cover style in that trailer. I didn't notice if they've finally put 'walking and shooting' in there.

i have never been a big Resident Evil guy. I have played 1,2,4, and starting 5. I didn't finish 1 or 2. The first drove me crazy with you having to find a ink ribbon just to save your game. however, I loved RE4. I have played the demo of RE5 and enjoyed it so I got the full game yesterday. I haven't started it yet but I am looking forward to it.

Precisely. Played through RE5 with my cousin on coop and it was awesome. Tried playing back through it on single player and it sucked. Granted, that's a huge failure on Capcom's part, but I would say RE5 only sucked if you didn't want to play it with someone else.

I remember about overhauls and reboots too, but RE5 had pretty solid reviews (mid 80's on metacritic and gamerankings) and according to Wikipedia is the best selling RE yet so it seems like its far from a disappointment.

I don't believe it will be Hunk. Look at how the trailer is kinda split into three different parts.
1.) First part shows a more horror themed RE with Leon
2.) Second part is Chris with the action theme in a Chinese city.
3.) Third part is this new character that has the special blood. Looks like it's more connected to Chris's story and location IMO.

I believe both the REmake and MGS: Twin Snakes were funded directly by Nintendo, so they will never be ported to a non-Nintendo console.
The only bummer for me with those packages is that the old games are "Downloadable copies".
Yeah, it doesn't look like these games are actually on the disc, but rather just codes to download them from Xbox Live or PSN.
Its also odd that the PS3 version lacks Code Veronica. While it isn't one of the numbered games, it is still an important game to the series canon. So neither the 360 or PS3 version is a truly complete RE saga.

I assumed that it's because without Code Veronica, there would be absolutely no reason for anyone to buy the 360 version instead of the PS3 version (since nobody cares about the DVD movie that's the only other exclusive to 360). But there may be other factors involved.

Resident Evil 6 Will Let You Infect Other Players’ Games as Bad Guys (http://kotaku.com/5930761/resident-evil-6-will-let-you-infect-other-players-games-as-bad-guys)
There's a new mode in Resident Evil 6, and it lets you enter other people's games—and kill them. Dubbed "Agent Hunt", it's available after you've cleared the game and allows you to play as a RE6 creature—presumably a monster—and take on the game's protagonists.
Agent Hunt is only available on specific stages. And Agent Hunt players can use voice chat to coordinate with fellow Agent Mode players who have also inhabited the game. The player whose game has been infected with the mode will not be able to hear the voice chat.
When Agent Hunt creatures enter your game, you'll know; however, you won't know which creatures are Agent Mode players and which ones are computer controlled. Though, if you are getting unnecessarily trolled, then, yeah, you're probably dealing with real life jerks.
For those who do not want their play interrupted by Agent Hunt, it's possible to switch it off.
Interesting idea, hope it works well.

08-01-12, 11:17 PM
Ada Wong will not only be playable in Resident Evil 6, she’ll be the focus of her own campaign. At a recent preview event in Osaka, Japan, Capcom finally confirmed what IGN first reported in January – the iconic, fan-favorite mercenary will stand alongside Jake, Chris and Leon, albeit in a storyline that only unlocks upon completing the game’s other three branches.
Featuring classic Resident Evil gameplay, which challenges players to solve puzzles, collect gems and fight zombies, a recent hands-on sampling of Ada’s campaign has proven to be one of the most positive elements of RE 6 thus far – perhaps the best Capcom has made available, in fact.
Capcom is aware of the problems surrounding the E3 2012/Dragon’s Dogma demo for Resident Evil 6, and it’s vowing to do everything it can to fix them. In a recent interview at a hands-on event in Osaka, Japan, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi stressed to IGN that his team understands the weaknesses of that early demo, that it has identified critical areas in need of attention as RE 6 enters its final weeks of development.
“There were certain things that gamers felt stressed about,” Hirabayashi said. “One of the main concerns was the camera. We decided that was one thing we had to fix, that we had to work on that camera – we’re actually working on that right now. We want to make sure that camera doesn’t interfere with your gameplay experience.”
Hirabayashi also noted that many observed graphical tearing for the Xbox 360 version of the demo, which also became a priority for the team as it received comments from the press and public alike. This sort of fine-tuning will be ongoing, Hirabayashi said, “until the last minute.”
Technical issues aside, Hirabayashi emphasized something else about the content that has been made publicly available so far – these are mere samples of a much, much larger experience. “There are things we wanted to try with Resident Evil 6, and we want to show players what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to bring them a new experience, and hopefully they’ll give it a chance. Hopefully when they give the full game a chance, they’ll have a better understanding of what we’re trying to accomplish.”
Hirabayashi’s comments seem aimed at those focused on the lack of enemies in the opening moments of Leon’s chapter, or the relentless action featured with Chris and Jake. Playing through Capcom’s Comic-Con offerings, which the developer pushed to make ready a mere five weeks after its prior sample underwhelmed, reveals that to not entirely be the case. In those latest samplings, Leon and Helena are suddenly under siege by waves of zombies. Chris is no longer clashing with J’avo, but a beast that’s two-stories tall. Clearly a demo that is only 15-minutes long will also inevitably leave a one-note impression. Just doubling that play time changes things considerably.
Resident Evil 6 Goes Gold, Online Service Detailed
Capcom reports that Resident Evil 6 is completed, plus shows off its new stat tracking service.
Capcom has revealed full details about ResidentEvil.net, a new online service that will launch alongside Resident Evil 6. While the service was announced last week, a new trailer shows off exactly what you can expect from the service, including comprehensive stat tracking that shows the numbers of enemies killed, which weapons you’ve used, how many medals you’ve earned and more. ResidentEvil.net will also link with Facebook and Twitter so you can compare stats with friends and share your progress.
Players will earn points that they can exchange for exclusive Mercenary costumes or figures, as well as organized events for ResidentEvil.net members where the Champion's Belt -- a special, one-of-a-kind reward -- can be earned. The Champion’s Belt can only be held by one player at a time, and players will need to defend it or be at risk of losing it. Events will include trying to defeat a set number of enemies or aiming for a high score in Mercenaries Mode. Sign-ups for ResidentEvil.net will be free, and the service will also be accessible from a smartphone app that will launch on iOS, Android and Windows phones and tablets.
Resident Evil 6 will launch on October 2nd for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version will follow later. Capcom announced today that Resident Evil 6 "has officially gone gold and is secured for its October 2 release on Xbox 360 and PS3. In other words, the game is done!”
Capcom: Sold Resident Evil 6 Copies Were "Stolen"
Copies were sold this past weekend, despite it not being due to release until October 2.
Copies of Resident Evil 6 that appeared for sale in Poland last week were stolen, Capcom has confirmed.
As reported, the copies on sale were of the German PS3 version which were purchased from a store in the Polish city of Poznan.
Capcom has released a statement addressing the incident, which reads, "Capcom is currently undertaking a thorough investigation into reports that Resident Evil 6 is being sold ahead of its official October 2 release date.
"At this time, all we can add is that it would appear this unfortunate incident is limited to a small quantity of stolen copies of the German USK PlayStation 3 version of the game."
It's not currently known how many copies of the title were sold, or what will happen to those that got out into the wild ahead of schedule. One copy has even turned up on eBay, with the seller claiming that he "bought the game legally".
While it's not known what action Capcom will decide to take at this time, it's usually a fairly risky move to decide to play a game ahead of launch, especially if you're one of a handful of people to do so. While Battlefield 3 was one of the more recent titles to suffer a massive leak after appearing early on torrent sites, most people who downloaded it got away without punishment due to the sheer volume of people involved.
When console games leak though, it tends to be easier for companies to track who's been playing them and then take action. Back in 2007, Halo 3 leaked online to Microsoft's intense chagrin. As a result, the Xbox Live accounts of any gamers found to have played the game were banned until the year 9999.
New Resident Evil 6 Demo Coming This Month
Try out new content from three different campaigns.
Capcom has announced that a new demo for Resident Evil 6 will be released on September 18th. Featuring all-new content (different from the demo included with Dragon’s Dogma), the demo will feature samples of all three of the game’s main campaigns, allowing players to step into the shoes of Leon, Jake or Chris.
The Leon demo will let players “further explore the dark corridors and moonlit grounds of Ivy University,” while Jake and Sherry’s mission will have players fighting the J’avo, “including their fully mutated forms.” Finally, Chris’ mission will see him and partner Piers Nivans fighting alongside other BSAA members “to the war-ravaged streets of Edonia” to battle the J’avo in addition to the B.O.W. Ogroman, which stands three stories tall.
The demo will be released on Xbox Live and PlayStation 3. Separately, PlayStation 3 owners will also be able to download the original demo included in Dragon’s Dogma starting tomorrow, September 5th.
If someone has a stolen copy and plays it online, they're just asking to be caught.

Capcom has announced three new gameplay modes coming to Resident Evil 6 as post-launch downloadable content:
Survivors Mode will let players respawn as enemies when they’re killed and attack humans. Killing two characters will allow players to respawn as a human, and the last man or team standing wins.
Predator Mode has one player take the role of the Ustanak, a “fearsome B.O.W.” that other players will have to try to kill. Players will have to try to kill the Ustanak before time runs out, “or at least survive until the end of the session.”
Siege Mode will have two teams (one human, one enemy) and a single non-playable character. The human team will be tasked with protecting the NPC, while the other team will try to kill them. If the NPC is still alive when the game ends, the human team wins.
All three modes will support up to six players and will be played using maps from Mercenaries mode. For now, a Capcom spokesperson told IGN “The modes are a timed exclusive for Xbox 360 and at this time we cannot comment about other platforms.” The three modes will be trackable on ResidentEvil.net, the stat-tracking service Capcom announced last month.

Can't wait for this. Surprisingly I'm talking about the Playstation version for the HD version of the previous games.

Prepare to be disappointed then. The only HD version is RE4. 1-3 are the regular ported versions. And all of the games are download codes, no discs.

I get the gamesTM magazine from the UK (just started the sub) and in the preview for the current issue they absolutely carve up RE6 to shreds. I have never seen a PREVIEW rip a game so badly. Usually previews are pretty optimistic. Then I am thinking, well maybe they are just very critical. Nope. Every other preview (including some games I know are going to suck) is the usual peppy, optimistic writing I have come to expect from previews.
I don't know if the writer was having a bad day, or if it is really that bad. He said the first scenario with Leon was pretty good, but the other two basically ruin the game. Something to the effect that 2/3 of the game are terrible.
I know it is just a single preview, but I am a little less enthused about the game. I am telling you, this guy laid the wood on this poor game.

The article doesn't seem to be on the site, but the rundown for that issue (http://www.gamestm.co.uk/magazine-issues/games-issue-125/) is dated 'August 2', so I'm guessing it's the Dragon's Dogma demo or at least the same build.
It's here (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/RESIDENT-EVIL-6-DEMO-PUBLIC-RELEASE/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80243438836) (for 360).

I tried it. Enjoyed the Leon campaign because it was more traditional survival horror and thought "hey, maybe I'll get this day 1 after all." Moved on to the Chris and Jake campaigns and thought "oh...nevermind."
Chris's section was all-out Gears of War, except much less fluid or fun.
Overall, the demo turned me off the game considerably. I'll wait and get the Gold edition of the game that includes all the DLC in a year and a half or so.

I was considering going for the deluxe PS3 edition, but after going on PS Network I'm not sure it makes sense financially for me.
The deluxe version of each goes for $89.96. Now, you get download codes for 1-5, but I already have RE5 for 360 and have 2 versions of RE4, so I'd only be interested in the first 3 games. Right now on PSN, RE1 is $9.99, RE2 and RE3 are $5.99 apiece. So that's about $22 for the three games I want. For a $30 differece ($40 if you count in Amazon's $10 promo discount on the Standard version) it would be cheaper to just get those games individually. Now if they had a package for either system that had 1,2,3, and Code Veronica X in the same bundle I'd be more likely to pull the trigger.
I'm still hoping they do something similar to the Metal Gear HD collection at some point... I would love to have all the pre-RE4 games in one package. Hell, if they ever did a set with 1, 2, 3, CVX, 0, REmake and the two Outbreak games I would easily pay $100 for that.

Chris's section was all-out Gears of War, except much less fluid or fun.
Feel about the same. For me, Leon's was an A, Jake's was a B-, and Chris's I'd give a C. I actually did them in this order - Chris, Jake, Leon - so they actually got progressively better for me. :)
The problem I had is the controls are great for classic RE-style survival horror creeping, but don't work very well for frenzied combat. The cover system is awful. Honestly, having just played the critically detested Operation Raccoon City I think that game controlled better for heavy cover-based action than the Chris and Jake sections of RE6 (and it still was greatly inferior to Gears).
I'll still get the game right away, if just for the Leon campaign. Hopefully the others will be more enjoyable in the context of the full game. I know I hated the RE5 demo, but the actual game was okay at least.

I finally finished Skyrim and took it in today and applied it to RE6 to get a little extra credit. I hope I'm not dissapointed but some of the reads on the internet don't sound great. I'm in the minority, but I really liked all the previous games...Raccoon City included.

played the Leon campaign. it was ok. not great. not enuf ammo for me though. had to use my physical attacks a lot. and a lot leave useless, in demo, "skill points". i'll try the others, but i am not excited anymore and may just delay purchase till cheap. unfortunate, too, as i loved RE 4 so much.

I'm a diehard fan of the franchise, but this is the first day one purchase I won't make after playing the demo. Didn't hate it, but felt underwhelmed. It'll without a doubt be 30-40 dollars around Black Friday so I'll pick it up then. I've got too big an unplayed pile as it is.
Anyone watch the newest RE animated release, Damnation? It was a pretty good mix of old school RE and RE4/5.
1. It had many first person viewpoints that reminded me of the newer games but the artwork was MUCH MORE advanced! I wouldn't mind if future games on next gen consoles looked like that at all and I have to wonder if that's the direction we are heading. For example: Check out the parking garage scene fairly early in the feature.
2. I thought some of the little throwbacks to old school RE were awesome, be it similar musical cues or the sound of footsteps in a secluded area taken from the original games.
3. I think it sets up RE6. Story was a little weak but that's never really been RE's charm.
I hated the demo, struggling to keep my interest in it just to finish the demo - I can't imagine how bored I'd get doing that with the whole game, especially since it's supposed to be so huge.

Game doesn't not sound good. Sounds like a bland action game that runs the gamut of cliches you're seeing in big budget video games these days.
RE is and always has been about isolation and the atmosphere it creates. It retained none of that when it decided to turn the game into a Gears of War style squad shooter
And Destructoid absolutely tore them a new one:
Resident Evil 6 is a Michael Bay movie. There's really no more polite a way to put it. Stuffed to the gills with bombastic action segments, car chases, and relentless chaos, Capcom has abandoned any pretense of the survival horror genre and embraced a world of skin-deep Hollywood audacity. Listlessly wallowing in the depthless waters of homogeneity, Resident Evil 6 is a coward of a game, afraid to make its own individual mark in the industry and cravenly subscribing itself to every overplayed trope in the book.

The IGN reviewer said the campaign is 20-40 hours (20 if you're running through it and know exactly what to do).
Said Leon's campaign is the best because it still includes the survival horror element.

So designing the co-op is what kills it, which is what I was complaining about all along. Instead of getting rid of it after RE5, they committed to it even stronger for what turned into a worse game. Co-op does not belong in a survival horror/puzzle game, which is what RE franchise is. If RE4 (the best one) had co-op, it'd be a mess as well.

In comparison, Konami has tried to stay true to Silent Hill's horror roots and they are barely keeping the IP alive at this point. (Downpour was a step in the right direction for the series and still failed to sell)
This is the first RE game (main storyline) that I won't purchase on release day, primarily because I thought RE5's direction sucked. To put it in perspective this game is getting even worse reviews.

i really hope they don't and even though RE 4 wasn't exactly survival horror, it was the best for me and i would love to see another just like it. unfortunately, doesn't look like that is ever in the cards again.

That DTOID review was brutal. The problem i have with co-op games, is that by the time the price drops and i get it, there won't be anymore people online and usually the computer controlled co-op partner is horribly dumb there's really no point in getting it. And what happens in ten years you wanna go back and play online the servers will most likely be shut down.

Why do you care? You already said you're not buying it in a previous comment.
I'm going to get the game and might be dissapointed but it is what it is. The reviews are all over the board so I'm expecting some great moments and some bad moments. RE and Silent Hill are considered old cash cows by now so if I get a little fun out of them I'm happy. RE was the reason I bought a PS and had a blast, even though it had plenty of flaws on its own. One day people will probably look at Call of Duty the same way.

I wasn't the biggest fan of four but I can appreciate the vision behind it. A couple of parts were amazing, such as the cabin assault or the chainsaw guy.
I guess I just don't understand why a company with the capabilities of Capcom just doesn't make their own action/shooting IP and try to make money in both genres, horror and FPS.

Is co-op really that antithetical to survival horror? There is definitely a horror aspect to being trapped and alone, but I'm not convinced that they can't play on that isolation with two people. Couldn't they incorporate that sense of helplessness that used to be the signature of Resident Evil games, but just work in the co-op survival aspects? It just sounds like the direction they have taken the coop is to to turn it into a coop action game (which is the way the series has gone) which isn't the only direction a co-op game could go. I just think that the current design references for co-op games are co-op shooters that are primarily action games. I have a feeling that in the future we will see an indie developer put out a game, like an Amnesia, that is co-op but still survival horror.

You are never going to have the same level of fear when you are playing coop. Chatting with your friend is always going lower the stress level in a survival horror game. That being said, this game splits you away from your partner a lot. When it happens you feel alone and isolated. You almost relax when you finally get back together.
Game is really good, as long as you understand that only about 1/4th of it is actually resident evil. If you can get past that, there is an enjoyable game here.

Free DLC Coming to Resident Evil 6
Now Ada will never be alone.
Just over a week after the game's release, Capcom is planning a wave of free DLC for Resident Evil 6. The content will be delivered via a title update in the near future, adding extra functionality to Ada Wong's campaign as well as a new difficulty mode.
Currently Ada Wong's storyline is only accessible to those players who complete RE6's three other campaigns. Ada also operates solo, meaning there's no opportunity for co-op play of any sort. So if you were playing with a friend through the Jake, Chris and Leon arcs, your buddy is cut off from the fourth and final segment of the game.
The title update lifts both of those restrictions, meaning Ada's story will be accessible at any point, and she'll be accompanied by an unnamed partner. So track down your friends if you want to run and gun with a friend.
Lastly, Capcom plans to add yet another difficulty mode to the game, titled "No Hope." There are no details on what kind of adjustments this option will make to the game - Capcom's Unity blog simply calls it "super hard."

On-Disc Resident Evil 6 Content Will Be Free
Resident Evil 6's recently discovered on-disc content will be made available free of charge.
Arriving with an upcoming title update, players will be able to enjoy (or endure) the ultra-tough No Hope difficulty setting, plus co-op for Ada Wong’s campaign allowing you to play along with a friend.
Currently you can only unlock Ada’s section of the game by completing all three of the other campaigns. Following the update you’ll be able to play it whenever you want.
Clarifying the presence of the on-disc content, Capcom said, “Some data of this update is on the disc, but said data is incomplete and requires the actual download to access.”
The publisher also added that other on-disc content, including The Mercenaries costumes, are free ResidentEvil.net unlocks.
“Future paid DLC – like the multiplayer modes we revealed a while ago – is not on the disc,” said Capcom, getting a little testy. “We said as much a month ago, but that point may have been lost in the shuffle.”
Capcom’s use of on-disc DLC continues to be controversial. Street Fighter x Tekken’s premium on-disc content lead to an angry fan reaction that prompted the publisher to rethink its methods.
Resident Evil 6 was released earlier this month. It received a lukewarm critical response, but has performed strongly in its native Japan selling an impressive 676,585 copies at launch.
In the UK meanwhile, Resident Evil 6 was beaten to the top spot by FIFA 13 on its first week on sale.
Is it true that the game feature alot of on-disc DLC (ala SF X Tekken)?
It seems that all on-disc stuff are unlockable, so not really DLC...

Gamers will be able to adjust the camera to give a greater field of view as best suits their play style. [You can see the difference in perspective below - Ed]
Subtitle options have been improved so that English language audio can be combined with subtitles in an alternative language.
As recently announced, Ada Wong’s campaign will be unlocked from the start and have an optional player-controlled co-op partner added. It was previously necessary to complete all three other campaigns in order to unlock Ada’s story.
‘No Hope’ difficulty level will be added above the existing levels, for players who want an extreme challenge.
The release ends, “Capcom values user feedback on Resident Evil 6 and ResidentEvil.net and is working continuously to improve the experience for players.”
The adjusting camera is a cool option, Damn I need to get this game :(. Hoping that the 360 archives version goes down in price.

some tips when you do...(and for anyone playing)
QTE seem to be frustrating a lot of people, even classic Resident Evil fans....any of them that needs circle motions or left/right real fast...you can do both sticks at the same time to double how fast you go..
All running sequences..these can also piss you off, as you try to stay one step ahead of something, and instant death if you mess up even a little (one sequence had my friend and I cussing each other)...hold down A (X on ps3) the whole time...most think you have to hold A to run, and then hit it again each time the prompt comes up...nope just hold it down during the entire sequence...will shave 10-15% of your time...
This is just a tip, and many will think it goes against the spirit of gaming...but it helps a lot. If you get to a checkpoint and you only have 1 or 2 bars of life...if you die, you come back at that point with full life. This will save your health items for boss fights, and long stretches of combat...
Coop is the way to go with this...while your AI partner is Steven Hawking compared to Resident Evil 5, they still will not help much...but if you do go solo, one skill almost breaks the game, even for the hardest difficulty...Field Medic. The one thing your partner will do in solo is revive you, and if you set them to follow you they are right there. The bad thing is after they revive you if you don't heal before going down again you are out for good. Field Medic lets them revive you with 1 or 2 bars of health...level 2 of this gives you 2 or 3..unless you are in the few parts where you are alone...it is almost invincibility mode....

:lol: That happened to my friend and I when we played RE5 co-op a couple months ago [at the end with Wesker on the plane]. I was like "fuck push the fucking button quicker" and he was like "Fuck I am" and other :mad2: nuggets like that.
:cool: thanks: will re-read this post/thread when I do get it.

I finished it on pro...got all the achievements...it was so much easier a second time because you were ready for all the QTE and instant deaths...48 hours in the campaign and another 5 in mercenaries...

Cliff Bleszinski Offers to ‘Fix’ Resident Evil
"We can fix Resident Evil. Together."
Former Gears of War design director Cliff Bleszinski has offered to “fix” Resident Evil. In a post on Twitter this weekend, Bleszinski wrote “Hey, Capcom. Call me. We can fix Resident Evil. Together.” He added later that the Tweet brought him “more Japanese followers than ever” and admitted later that the “comment was a bit cocky.”
Bleszinski left Epic Games earlier this month, hinting at the time that he may be done in the industry altogether. Since then, he’s posted many cryptic photos on Twitter, suggesting he’s visited the offices of Activision, Double Fine, EA and many more. For now, he hasn’t announced any plans regarding what’s next.
It’s time for some rumors! Said rumors come from Dual Pixels, who received the information from Geno, a reliable source that ended up being right about the new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow projects (LoS 2 and MoF) and Kingdom Hearts HD Collection. But this rumor isn’t for you ‘vaniacs and keyblade lovers! This is all about Resident Evil.
According to Geno, Capcom will be bringing the series to Wii U with the release of Resident Evil 6: Final Hope. This is pretty much the game’s Gold Edition and, as expected, will come with a brand new scenario. Said scenario stars Claire, and it’s said to be taking place after the events of Resident Evil 6 (perhaps this will set the stage for Resident Evil 7). This edition of the game will also fix bugs and other gameplay issues people had problems with, Geno says. The GamePad will be heavily utilized and you’ll also be able to play the game without having the TV on as well. It wasn’t outright stated that this will be exclusive to Wii U, though.

I've actually ended up enjoying this quite a bit despite my early impressions. My main gripes... the camera goes wonky in certain scenes (mainly those involving running and QTEs, these are my least favorite parts of the game) and the cover system is more of a hindrance than a help. Also too many vehicle sections... they're all too scripted and linear and I felt like I was going through the motions rather than controlling a character.
But I enjoy the way the campaigns weave together, and there were hints of old school RE at times... something largely missing from the main series since Zero. The AI has improved immensely since RE5, and aside from the cover this game controls better than any of its predecessors (Wii RE4 excepted).
I also had a blast playing Agent Hunt last weekend. It gets redundant, but there's a certain giddy thrill when you actually manage to finish off an agent.

I picked this up for $20 awhile back, and well it was mind numbingly frustrating in some places, it wasn't nearly as bad as I originally thought it would be.
I'm on the Ada campaign now. Kind of cool how everything ties together.

AMAZON was selling the xbox 360 archives for 38 bucks yesterday. I managed to snag one before the price spiked up to $55. I cant to play Code Veronica and RE4 ( and I guess 6, haha).

This is $14.69 now on sale in the PSN store for PS Plus members. I'm not much of a huge RE fan, but I'm thinking about getting this. Is it worth playing or too frustrating or boring?

It was worth it for $20 so $14 is great.

I've passed up this game so many times. I'll wait until fall to see if the Unveiled Edition is real or not. If not, I'll finally pick this up.
