Capcom Says Resident Evil 6 Will Be "Different"

[Blemontea]

My question is how are they going to make the game Scary after RE5? Re4 had a few moments of scare but quickly lost that and started to be pure fun. I dont think RE can be scary anymore unless major stress is put into the SURVIVAL part in a HORROR setting with a menacing threat. All the zombies in the RE4-5 aren't big threats on the normal difficulty once you get ammo.(even without ammo theres the stun rod and knife) SO what im saying is leaves us with just a pistol and dont get us a weapon until the second act. By then we will be desperate and praying to god for a new weapon and the line "This is my BOOMSTICK!" will be all the more satisfying.

The difference is, even the women will get a shitload of steroid inyections. I mean, who doesn't want to see Jill running around with a 10 inch clitoris?

That made me spit milk out my nose. xDDDDDD

OT: I actually liked RE5...and I will say that it is the only one I ever played. And the only reason why I rented it was because a friend was over for the weekend and we wanted some fresh co-op to play.

In the end, I'm in favor of a new Resident Evil and a new direction for the series, whatever it may be.

...But I want Wesker back godamnit! The man was practically the epitome of Rule of Cool. He was like Sephiroth + Neo.

Keep the co-op vibe rolling, and keep the upgrade system as kick ass as in 4 & 5.

Never found RE scary, not in 4 or 5. But the constant sense of tension and progression is nice.

 

[Galdrack]

I only played the series once or twice until I got RE4. It was one of the best games I ever played, then they fucked it up so horribly with RE5 which must be one of the worst games I've ever played.

I'm hoping they'll make it more like 4 and it's predacessor's and forget 5 ever happened.

It better have Barry and all those other lost folks.

If the new one is more scary, with team based puzzles i'm definately interested. This is not to say that the last few titles were bad. I actually enjoyed 4 and 5 quite a bit although I'd love to see a return to something closer to what 1 had to offer.. minus the horrible voice acting.

This is what I want for RE 6. Then I shall be satisfied.

 

[Jfswift]

I am 101% certain that they're bringing wesker back, if not in 6 than possibly in 7. that guy just NEVER FUCKING DIES.

hmm, would be interesting if they brought him back.. but as a clone and he wasn't the antagonist this time around.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

But the 5th was supposed to be the last one....

 

[WaReloaded]

I'd be happy if they just re-released Resident Evil 2...

 

[Ellen of Kitten]

I enjoyed RE4 (and to an extent RE5 was a good romp too), but I do miss the classic style. I was really good at the old ones, and they scared the tar out of me. Whatever Capcom decides to do with RE6, I feel like it should reflect its horror roots, not the most recent action bonanza.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Great! I can't wait for the people to ***** about it regardless of whether it's good or not!

Seriously, they're going to ***** either way. If it's too different, then they've ruined the series because they've moved away from their roots, and if it's the same then the series is ruined because there's not enough innovation.

So they're either sellouts or they're milking it.

 

[Lunar Templar]

why not both? RE 4 was the first RE game i liked, due to the control revamp, story could use help, and I'm sure there's ways to still make it scary with out having handle like ass

 

[Scars Unseen]

I thought this franchise was finally done, aren't all the big bad guys dead? Been taking tips from Leliana, I guess.

Two cents on the "Scary or shooty" bit: "Scary" is subjective, some may be startled by Dead Space's gory jack-in-the-box imitators, others may be more frightened of those insta-kill water fiends in so many not-even-supposed-to-be-scary adventure games. (Jak and Daxter's lurker sharks, anyone?) Shooting, on the other hand, is shooting. Aim gun, bang bang, things die. Simpler than trying to scare people who may or may not respond properly to even the most elaborate psych-out attempts, I'd say, probably easier to market too. Maybe if they made a game including as many common phobias as possible?

So... what, a scene where you have to escape from gay zombies over a 1000ft high tightrope on fire toward 2 midget clowns with spiders in their hair?

 

[MrGalactus]

I hope they go survival horror an RE6's ass. When was our last good survival horror game?

Not all at once. You anthromorphize the fears. Vertigo-inducing levels. Giant spiders. Clown zombies. Zombies that are slowly burning alive as they attack, and will scream as they slowly burn. And some kind of freaky zombie-reproduction scene where they get their own version of the squicky Broodmother from Dragon Age.

Glad to see they're going to try and change it up from RE5's standard 'co-op shooter with zombies' vibe. Hoping to see a return to the 'survival' aspect, where you forge through slobbering hordes with limited resources, simply trying to reach the next safe zone or ammo dump in one piece.

"6"?

Jesus Christ, how about start using something different on the name?!

I'll be honest, despite sacrificing some key elements of the series that RE4 managed to keep, I actually had fun with RE5's gameplay. Its story on the other hand, was total crap. It started like a spinoff but spiraled into something of a supposed conclusion for the series. I have no huge gripe with Sheva, but she sure as hell didn't deserve to be the one to make Wesker eat that rocket. It would have been a lot better if Wesker weren't involved at all.

They have plenty of places to take the story; Tricell has the G-virus after the CGI movie (though that's getting a sequel, so more stuff could happen), and just about every other B.O.W. and virus in the series is on the black market. The series needs to go back to its roots, while keeping the best innovations intact.

Hell, imagine running through an abandoned street, only to bump into a crowd of slow zombies numbering in the dozens. You have nothing but a pistol, with nowhere near enough ammo to kill them all. Your options to A) run from them and go into the nearby building or B) get surrounded/cornered while trying to play Rambo and get eaten alive. I want situations you can't beat with the prowrestling crap in the past two games. You can get away with that with Las Plagas, but I sure as hell don't want my arms to get eaten.
