If these thieves have any sense of humour, they'll add the IGN watermark to the box art.

So is Re6 really that bad? I loved every single Resident Evil game religiously and cannot fathom the thought I will not get any enjoyment out of a core RE title. I even had some fun with Dead Aim and that game was a horrible stinker. Did not try Operation Racoon City, though.
And what about the rampant hate for RE5? I played it twice in coop with very good friends over teamspeak and it was an extremely excellent cooperative experience and loads of fun.
My understanding is that RE5 has great co-op but in singleplayer it's nigh-on unplayable. I can attest to it from my playthrough, the team AI is outright broken. Plus RE5 definitely had a worse inventory system than 4. I think that's basically it though, it's a co-op focused game in a predominantly single-player series, that in focusing on co-op made the single-player worse.
Think Lost Planet 2 against Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. Then pretend you were a massive fan of Extreme Condition so when LP2 comes along it's like... dude. The fuck is this shit. Even though it's a very nice co-op semi-Monster Hunter in space. It's not a good Lost Planet game by fans' metrics.
I think Resident Evil 6 is just continuing that kind of distillation of what fans remembered and liked about 4. Plus, a lot of people grew up with Resident Evil in an age where it was considered survival-horror, and since these games are blatantly action games by today's standards, they complain. Even though, rose-tinted glasses off, the original Resident Evil games aren't horror games at all. I don't know, I think it's just not what "core" fans want from Resident Evil as a series. Same as why any sequel to popular games will no doubt face some kind of backlash - nothing will ever live up to the originals in the jaded eyes of their a lot of their core audience. Simple.
Virtually every game is leaked a few days early, I don't really see what the big deal is. I mean I got the first Mass Effect at a K-Mart 3 weeks ahead of retail completely legitimately. A lot of people did, actually.
Also, "It’s not just that Resident Evil 6 shows up on torrent sites, it's that Resident Evil 6 shows up on torrent sites, people don’t care for the game, and pre-orders disappear."
I'm all for off-the-cuff stream of consciousness fun time journalism, but that's two, maybe three sentences.
i've played every RE game since 2 on launch day, and i've never been more excited for an RE game in my whole life. i really like the cinematic style they're going for.
i've played the demo, and the gameplay wasn't without flaws, but it wasn't so bad the series is going to TANK and DIE like some drama queens on here seem to think. the controls were definitely smoother than RE4 and 5. when do demos ever really give a game justice anyway? i've read the reviews on people who played the game for 7 hours, and there was definitely a lot more positive feedback then from people who played the 15 min ones.
I absolutely adore the resident evil characters, and universe - as zany and plot hole-y as it is. i'm really excited to see what happens in RE6, so i can forgive some imperfections. i know i'm going to love it.
What an embarrassment. Even completely ignoring the debate regarding the game itself, a big-name publisher like Capcom should be more together than this.
