@Yummylee: You noticed ah? Kudos.

I am not as much a fan boy (although I really love the RE games, as I guess you would with the Barry avatar) as a person who is really getting annoyed with smug know-it-alls and internett group "hate" towards the gaming industry.

For me, it is. I donate to Giant Bomb specifically because it's not just a dry press release factory. I'm not here for encyclopedic, humorless, just-the-facts reporting on the game industry. I come here because of the Giant Bomb crew and their personalities first and foremost. I'm wearing a Giant Bomb Flight Club shirt right now because they don't take shit like this too seriously. I don't care if I agree with everything they say. I don't want them to bite their collective tongue and try to avoid offending me.

Thats well and good but not the point. The point is that this is a press release and to write such things is unnecessary. To be honest its just rude and dishonest. I believe the phrase "poisoning the well" could be used as its not funny and only will appeal to people who like being smug and patronizing.

Remake 2 Capcom. This franchise is doomed unless you do.

I don't understand why people are still constantly clamouring for an RE2 remake. You do realise that they couldn't possibly make a remake in the same vein as the original remake? If they were to remake RE2, chances are high that it'd just be another RE5 in RE2's clothing -- at best. Think coop, zombies that drop ammunition, less exploration, less puzzles and so forth.

Unless that's what you're after of course, but I've long assumed that the people who'd want a remake of RE2 are generally the sort of RE fans who preferred the older games.

Exactly.

They would never do a game cube style remake of resident evil 2 or 3. On top of that, there's nothing "financially doomed" about the game series at all. Capcom sold over 4.5 million copies of resident evil 6. (by November 2012)

@Scotto: Fine. But I am a user and I am allowed to say I do not like stuff so that if they suddenly lose alot of users they can know why they did so. Because they were hateful complainers who not only ditched certain game franchises but also the fans of those franchises.

You might say I am kind to GiantBomb if you think about it ;-)

Stupid, stupid, stupid. This is a news item not an editorial. Your opinion is NOT needed.

I can understand that sentiment but you spend awhile on here and realise that this whole site is editorial. It's MSNBC/FoxNews (minus the lunacy), not the BBC. That's kinda the point

lol oh hey, you're the guy who went around recommending all of the 4/5 star rated RE6 user-reviews and unrecommending all of the rest. Glad to see you're still keeping that fanboy flame a ragin'!

Never played a RE title before, why start now.

Even the fans say ew gross. Franchises blow unless you've been there for the first. I don't think I'll properly enjoy the mechanics of the old games either being babied with what's regular in new games.

RE6 was awesome, and possibly my pick for GOTY. Never tried the VS. modes, but this looks pretty interesting.

I wonder how many hundreds of hours of footage they had to scan through to make playing as the zombies look not terrible.

Apparently none, because the first thing I noticed was how hilarious the animations were.

A lot of people didn't like RE6 lol amirite? I made a funny too!

I always did find it weird that they'd develop the whole play-as-a-zoimbe/j'avo system and only use it in the limited (though entertaining) Agent Hunt mode. I guess they just couldn't finish a full-fledged versus multiplayer in time for release. Between this and the patch that let you jump directly into Agent Hunt-enabled levels, RE6's online might be worth a revisit...

Hm. I really liked RE6, but this doesn't look like something I'd buy. Unfortunately my brother's borrowing the game so I haven't played it since a few weeks before Christmas I believe, maybe even before. He hasn't really played it. I want to try out that free new DLC that has come.

To anyone who's curious, yes, playing as zombies/zombie dogs is as crappy as it looks. It makes playing the game as the human characters feel like a dream by comparison.

I should point out that I didn't buy this DLC or anything, I'm just speaking from the 10 minutes i put into that Agent Hunt mode.
