You Know What Resident Evil 6 Needs? Snowmobiles

The dog?

Darn...missed it.

Looks interesting. Might rent it first to see how it is before I commit to buying it.

Awwww yea, snowmobiles.

Good Lord, CAPCOM. Just upload the entire game why don't you? The launch trailer is probably going to showcase all of the endings.

I ain't gonna watch this anywhoo; I feel like I've seen enough and while I'm not especially happy of what RE6 is shaping up to be, for the sake of how entwined I am with the series, I simply can't go by without me getting any such RE game that's released. Some of the spin-offs I'm more than content to ignore, though...

meh.....looks a bit cod'ish

It's supposed to. CAPCOM have admitted that the inspiration for the direction of RE6 was so they could reel in the CoD fanbase.

Those enemies seem to have the worst aim with their bullets... I find it interesting how the HUD has now been switched to something the fans want with the laser sights. Even with that though, it does not appeal to me at all as an RE4 fan.

I always end up playing Resident Evil games because they look good, but I end up hating them. Maaaybe...it'll be different this time...

I dunno, I'm still missing the part where Captain Price saves you from falling of a cliff. Then there should be snowmobiles. And explosions, and jumping over huge cliffs.

"I told them to keep it down" - Exactly something I'd say in that situation.

I don't understand the hate for this game. It looks like more RE5 to me. I liked RE5, so that's a positive in my book.

I'm just glad that they're doing what so many fans have asked Capcom to do, and that's make the game more like the movies... oh wait, I mean the exact opposite of that.

And a lot of people hated RE5. So that clears up your misunderstanding. Except this looks even more stupid. Snow mobile chases and of course Wesker has a kid! This is the Hideo Kojima school of story telling we are seeing here.

I've never understood the appeal of the RE franchise, especially after 2. This looks powerfully stupid. Which would be fine, if the gameplay looked at all interesting, but I'm not signing up to slog through boring bullet-sponge shooting in close quarters just to hear cheesy one-liners being yelled over snowmobile engines.

Oh, Capcom. You can't just add more guns and expect your game to be "more like Call of Duty". At the heart of those CoD games are silky smooth, fast controls. RE6 still controls like a tank it seems.

Yeah, I bet all of those COD fans will totally stop playing COD and buy this game.

They won't keep playing MW3 until BLOPS2 comes out like they do every other year.

It feels super weird with the gunfights. I'm not talking about the fact that zombies have guns now, but it's the weird way the stand around and close in on you rather than in other games with guns where the enemies flank you and take cover.

I think this will make Resident Evil 6 stand out, compared to other third person shooters, for better or worse.

@DarkbeatDK: They're not zombies, they're the J'avo. And it's no different from how the Majini used guns in RE5. Well, except in RE6 you're even more of a powerhouse and, judging by the demo, can very swiftly melee through a small squadron of 'em with ease.

Resident Evil: Sled Storm. So the not-zomies are coordinated enough to drive Snow Cats but still stumble around when on foot?

Oh yeah! I remember them being called J'avo in some Resident Evil 6 trailers. Man, you gotta watch you mouth these days where you even can be racists against "the Virally Impaired"... Zombie is such a slur! :D

I agree that it seems like you are more powerful in RE6, but I also think they compensate for it with having more enemies coming at you.

LAAAAAAAAAAAMMMEEEEEEE

I'm not sure what it is about this game but the more I see it the less I like it.

"Anyway...I-I don't hate you!"

Well, that was worth a good laugh, at least.

GET BENT

That's the idea, but the melee combat is so clumsy and the enemies so moronic, it makes the Dynasty Warriors series look engaging by comparison. The gunplay doesn't feel particularly satisfying, either. For all of the many, many issues I have with RE5, at least the shooting felt powerful.

Well, that was a mess.

This game is a hot mess.

Anyone else just wish they'd release Resident Evil 1.5 instead of this? That half finished game looked more fun than this.

This video from IGN has subtitles, more footage and better gameplay.

Well, first and foremost, LOOK at it. It looks far from finished. Resident Evil 5 was pretty good in my opinion, and I am entitled to that opinion. This game looks just downright gritty. Look at Jake when riding that snowmobile for example. That could be taken from a freaking PS1 game.

It has completely lost its horror feel, this is no longer a frightening game. I wish sales would crash for this game so that CAPCOM understands that this is NOT what the Resident Evil fans want. But... why would they care? They don't care about fans. They care about sales. So cut down the sales massively for this game. Don't buy it. Make them understand that what we want, is not a fucking copy of Call Of Duty. We want a copy of a Resident Evil game. A FINISHED Resident Evil game that actually is scary to play.

Hardly resembles Resident Evil at this point.

I feel like I've started my own ban on watching RE6 trailers for fear of having the whole damn game spoiled. Although, my excitement for the game has been waning over the past few months. I think I'll end up waiting for the game to come down in price a bit before picking it up.

They can let you move and shoot, but fundamentally, it seems clear that Capcom has not figured out a better way to add tension to an action scene than to have you fight your character to do what you want.

Bring me the inventory tetris.

@CircleOfLife: Capcom has said that horror games aren't making money and the shooters or fighters are the why too go now.

Awesome.

As a side note, IGN has some extended cam footage if this same demo, showing the cutscene before, showing a conversation between Sherry and Jake where she's discussing some of her past(RE2). The surprising thing? The best acted scene I've seen in the entire series. And I don't mean that sarcastically. It's actually legitimately good, with a nice, natural, believable exchange. Sherry in particular has a nice tone to her voice that just makes the whole scene click tremendously. If the whole game has delivery closer to that, it could easily be the best delivered RE story. Very curious to see how it turns out.

the gameply looks dated,it looks pretty tho

As much as I loved RE5, and as much as I'm looking forward to this one, it worries me that they can't even get the camera to behave for a 4 minute demo video.

I have enjoyed this generation's Resident Evil games, but this...looks...terrible.

This game is seriously looking awful.

I was all ready to be cynical about this, but I think this is one of the best bits of RE6 footage I've seen in a while. All of the recent demo stuff seemed bad or off somehow, but the cabin setting in this trailer reminded me a lot of the tenser moments in 4 and 5.

I concur. I mean snowmobiles? Jeezus. But it looked pretty fun actually. I get that there are people who miss the old Resident Evil... but honestly, I've enjoyed all the the numbered games since the first one. This look awesome... except the camera. That shit needs fixing.

I've never understood the appeal of these games. To be honest never even considered trying one. Sometimes the women look kind of hot, all I really understand besides there's virus monsters of some sort.

Tank controls + Slow Zombies + Aiming up with shotgun to blow 4 heads at the same time = Great success.

I hate everything i've seen of this game so far and i really liked RE4 at the time and didn't actively dislike RE5 (i do now) at first either.

Honestly with the greater number of enemies, their speed (compared to the PS1 games), the camera being so close that you literally see nothing coming behind you and to the left of the characters, the number of bullets/hits it takes to kill enemies and even with the ability to move and shoot at the same time now they managed to make the gameplay look even more restrictive and clunky than in the PS1 era games.

It's like they're actively trying to push me away from Resident Evil. I actually liked all of the numbers entrees a lot, even 5, but I have seen NOTHING about RE6 that makes me even remotely excited about it.

The first trailer had me pumped for Resident Evil 6. Every subsequent trailer released has made me more and more wary about the game. It just looks so...bad. Not terrible by any means, but not at all what I want from a Resident Evil game. At least this video had a German suplex in it, I guess.

Shit looks dumb man, Resident Evil just isnt the same anymore. It's hot garbage now.

oh i thought it needed to be good. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGUISDNBAJKNGUANFG
