In 2013, U.S. President Adam Benford has decided to officially reveal the truth behind the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident, believing that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. By the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy and his new partner Helena Harper; but when the venue becomes host to another bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face the infected and mutated President, making the hardest decision in his life. Meanwhile in the fictional Eastern European state of Edonia, mercenary Jake Muller, the son of late bio-terrorist Albert Wesker, flees from the authorities during a bioterrorist attack. During Jake's adventure, he partners up with government agent and Raccoon City survivor Sherry Birkin. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) Captain Chris Redfield and his team, including Piers Nivans, arrive in the fictional Chinese city of Lanshiang (based on Hong Kong), itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from the attacks and ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear: there may be no hope left.

CAN'T WAIT
Chris Redfield is my favorite video game character of all time. Can't wait to add this to my RE collection. Going to the EB Games midnight release.

Is there seriously not a thread for this already?
Also. It looks really sh*tty and that's a shame. I liked RE5 a lot but this looks like garbage.
Come on (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=37166&highlight=Resident+Evil), woman.
Also, the demo was garbage.

I loved RE4, but was beyond disappointed with 5. They added co op, but other than that it felt like a carbon copy of 4 but without any of the tension. El Gigante isn't very intimidating when you fight him on the back of a car after having to fight 2 on foot in 4. Being forced into left hand view when you play as Sheva was aggravating. My biggest problem was that Sheva was the one who kills Wesker with Chris...
However, 6 looks to be everything I wanted 5 to be. Polished co op, a decent balance of tension and action, Leon and his gorgeous hair and the story has been pretty interesting so far. My only problem with it was that Chris's hair sucks now. It was fantastic in 5. Also, Jake sucks.

So you wanted RE5 to play terribly have more in common with a discount bin 3rd person shooter than RE4?

I thought re6 played great, personally. Moving is a lot better now. The moving and shooting was unnecessary, I'll give you that, but the rest of it was great.

I too am look forward to Resident Evil 6. I actually pre-ordered the Anthology for PS3 and the Archives edition for 360. From what I've seen, the game looks really fun and the story is very interesting. Chris is also one of my favorite video game characters, but I will start the game with Leon first. I will miss the control scheme and the feel of the other games a lot, because no matter how much the series changed from 4 and up, it still felt like I was playing a Resident Evil game. Then again, Capcom wasn't really left with much of a choice...

If you already own the previous games, the Anthology isn't worth it. There is no difference in the games at all.
I am one of the few who loved RE 5. I liked how they tried something different like they did with RE4.
The first group of games were similar in a lot of ways...not that I am complaining, I love the entire series (except 0 and Gaiden, they can F off), but it was fresh. Not sure why everyone hates RE5....

I actually really love Resident Evil 0. It was my first RE experience so I may be biased. Billy is still my favorite character. Not even Leon and his amazing hair or Hunk and his amazing neck breaker can top Billy's bad assery.

With me, it doesn't really matter. I own REmake, Zero, and 4 on both the Gamecube and Wii. I even have RE5:GE on the 360 and PS3. I'm a really big Resident Evil fan. Plus, both editions of RE6 didn't really cost me a thing. I paid them with gift cards from some games I traded to Best Buy a few months ago.
Same here. I really enjoyed Resident Evil 5. Not my favorite RE game, but ironically, my most played. My biggest gripe with it, was that it lacked as a Resident Evil game. It was an intense and somewhat challenging experience, which is good when it comes to Resident Evil, but lacked in the atmosphere, scare factor, puzzles, and intimidation of the past games.
I don't know, I really loved the original games. I think the series started getting "stale" with Code Veronica but was quickly redeemed with REmake. I also really enjoyed Zero. I also wouldn't say everyone hates RE5, seeing as it's the best selling title in the series. But I do notice the dislike towards it by the majority of the older fans. Mainly because of its major changes as a Resident Evil game. It's not what they remember or even a proper evolution of it.
Also, may I ask why you hate Resident Evil 0? Just curious.

I have multiple copies of some of the games myself, just letting you know that there is no difference because some people thought there were some. I am getting the Anthology myself because I can't live without getting it.
I didn't like RE 0 because I hate Rebecca, Billy was a crap character, the story itself was boring (imo), the enemies were nothing special, and I hated the fact that it had no save boxes. Dropping something and having to run all the way back for it was not fun at all.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 12:51 AM
Same with me, Resident Evil 5 is no where near my favorite RE game, that still belongs to Remake with Re4 a close second, but it is by far my most played. The Wesker fights (ignoring the final one >.>) and mercenaries with my bff just never gets old. Granted we tend to stick to mercenaries to avoid having to use Sheva and her left handedness.
Noooo! Billy is the best. They need to bring him and his dropkick from umbrella chronicles back!

Thanks for looking out. Although I am disappointed that the Director's Cut, 2 and 3:Nemesis aren't the dualshock versions. I was actually holding out on CVX and 4 HD in hopes of something like this happening. Either way, it's a pretty good deal. If I were to get RE6 and the two HD ports separately, I would actually end up spending more than if I get the Anthology or Archives editions. The extra games and movie just make the deal a whole lot sweeter.
Personally, I enjoyed both characters a lot and didn't mind the story. But I can see how that could be irritating to someone. I actually found it to be refreshing.

I heard because it was too action-oriented, which if funny considering that the series went in that direction anyway. Also, I think there's a group of people who are actually trying to recreate Resident Evil 1.5. I haven't payed much attention to the project, so I don't know its current status. If I can, I'll try and find the details if anyone is interested.

Yes, it did. So did a lot of the early re 4 stuff. I liked the paranormal/sanity thing they had going on.

I didn't like RE4 at first, but I grew to like it after some time.
Not sure why I didn't....I think it was because of the atmosphere. I found it to be kinda drab and the first part of the game kinda bored me. After I got through the first bit, the game was way better, imo. Creepy chanting guys, yeah.

Hmm, it's actually the exact opposite for me. I loved the village and wish the game had a bit more of that, I didn't like the castle at first, but then i discovered the suplex and never looked back.
The early re 4 stuff looked like it would've had a lot of decent scares in it. The first time I saw hook man it gave me chills. No health bar, no type of hud, made the game seem more intense.

09-10-2012, 01:23 AM
I wasn't going to get it but then I said that about 5 and now I own it. I like Mercs mode a lot and making it multiplayer sealed the deal for me on 5. Once I gave it a shot 5 wasn't so bad. I'll probably end up with it, maybe not at launch but I will eventually. I like games I can play with my friends as I don't have much time for games these days.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 01:27 AM
Making mercenaries multilayer was one of the best moves they could've made. Not only that, but you can go it solo if you want. The improved mobility in 6 makes mercenaries even better if you've seen any of the game play videos of it.
Spitfire
09-10-2012, 01:32 AM
I have. If you're a horror fan the RE series has probably long since pissed you off as it's moving further and further from actual horror. This has helped with the controls though. It seems to be tradition for horror games to control like crap, a cheap way of making the game scarier I think. This is coming from someone who loves the first 3, Nemesis is my favorite. These new RE games have been moving closer and closer to standard 3rd person shooter controls which has been a good thing. Hilarious to imagine they pretty much invented the 3rd person shooter but never got the controls right.
HeavyMetalCarebear
09-10-2012, 01:35 AM
The original is still the scariest one to me. Everything from the music, to the enemies (don't care that each type of enemy was just repeated a zillion times throughout the game), to the atmosphere.
Best dialogue ever <3 Nothing beats Barry's lines, though.
Spitfire
09-10-2012, 01:36 AM
Nothing beats the awesome live action intro featuring an all porn star cast.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 01:38 AM
I agree about the horror, obviously it'll never get as scary as the first three games again (My heart still beats out of my chest when I play 3 and hear Nemesis break down a wall across the level and start running towards me screaming) but I hope they make an attempt with Leon's chapter at least. Revelations surprisingly had some pretty good scares in it as well.
I had to neglect killing enemies as Chris to get through the game as him. Damn crimson heads...
Loved Barry's beard in the original live action intro XD
"I like the buddy system we have here." *While taking the next minute to stare at his revolver from different angles*
Spitfire
09-10-2012, 01:46 AM
I was playing RE 3 with headphones on once. I was in the police station at the part where Nemesis crashes through the window. I had the volume up so loud that when he came through the window I about fell out of my chair. My own fault for being careless but it still scared the hell out of me because I wasn't expecting it. This was after beating the game several times too.
Barry was very interested in a Jill sandwich.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 01:49 AM
I heard that revolver he carries around is really powerful. Especially against living things.
Spitfire
09-10-2012, 01:56 AM
I think his statue in RE 5 has a hilarious catch phrase "I have this!" but Rebecca is my favorite. "I'm Rebecca! OH NO!" It's like she's self aware of how badly she sucks.
I heard Jill is the master of unlocking things...
HeavyMetalCarebear

'It's me, Chris'.
Not like she is standing right there.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 02:00 AM
I heard Jill shouldn't open that door in the mansion... Though, on a more serious note, what is up with all the holding back on deaths now? Resident Evil 4 was amazing for deaths, but everything after that is just fall over and die. No decapitations, no broken necks, no anything. The Garrador head and torso impale by far being the best. Leon's agony when he gets stabbed in the head is hard to listen to.

I still watch the RE 4 death collection on youtube. Some of the best game deaths ever.

I'm watching it right now. Brutal. The insect things in the castle, when they vomit the acid on you and you die and half of Leon's face is gone makes me cringe.

That reminds me of that bug thing in RE 5. It was in the Mine level on Mercs. Damn thing always used to sneak up on me. It would rip me apart.
Memphis
09-10-2012, 02:16 AM
By far the hardest mini boss in the mercs mode. His damn grab was a one hit kill no questions asked. And hitting his weak points could be tough. Lost many combos because I couldn't beat that thing fast enough XD

A lot of people hate Sheva (I am not a fan of hers, either), but I didn't find her to be THAT awful. She was a little stupid sometimes and I ended up shooting her in the back of the head because she would walk in front of me while I am trying to blow away an enemy.
Happy to see the AI in RE6 seems to be a lot smarter and fends for themselves.

I thought re6 played great, personally. Moving is a lot better now. The moving and shooting was unnecessary, I'll give you that, but the rest of it was great.
So, did you like Operation Raccoon City? Because that's what it felt like for the most part and that game is TRASH.
Moving and shooting is a decent idea but not with the people they apparently have on the project. It all feels like a pieced together rush job cash in.

I don't know, I think people exaggerate when it comes to her A.I. It wasn't THAT bad. I rarely had any problems with her, if any. Overall, I didn't mind her as a character, but I don't think she ever needs to return. After all, she wasn't meant have as big of role as she ended up getting. Which isn't really saying much, she barely had any plot relevance in the final game.
Wesker: Chris....
Wesker: Poor deluded Chris.
Wesker: Things are really getting interesting now, eh Chris?
Wesker: CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!
Did he ever mention Sheva? It's like she wasn't even there! It also really sucks that Sheva was the one who brought down Wesker with Chris. That should of been Jill. Of course, Chris is going to take all the credit for killing Wesker now... That's how much Sheva exist.
Resident Evil 5 could of really been something amazing. Too bad it had to be dumbed down. A lot of the concepts sounded a lot better than what we ended up getting. Even the early 2007 build looked great.

With Operation: Raccoon City, I like all modes, but multiplayer is FAR more fun. I like sneaking up on people with Vektor in camo mode, staring at my enemy hiding behind a table, and then surprising him with bullets.
I like single player campaign when I want to take my time finding everything I need. Other than that, I would rather play with friends.

Wow. That game was awful. I don't know what to say. Seriously my most hated game of the past couple of years. I actually felt physically sick playing it. You're either a masochist or just blind for anything with the RE label on it.

For me, it gets boring if I play it for a day or two now, probably because I played it to death when I first got it, but, I dunno, I thought it was really fun with friends.
My most hated is RE0 for the reasons I mentioned earlier. That game can go to hell.

I played it with friends and it was still a godawful experience. I can't imagine playing it alone. Sounds like a good way to make suicide seem like an awesome route to take.
That game would be overpriced at $5. Massively overpriced.

I think the story is meant to be dumb. No one writes crap this bad unintentionaly. I think its the whole point. The game is a homage to campy horror movies. It all fits when you view it that way. The bad one liners, voice acting, plot holes, but with lots of attention paid to character and monster design. Like a bad b movie they focus on how cool everything looks and less on everything else.
They tried to turn a stupid story into something deep and sophisticated. It was a horrible idea. I still find the first three games as a whole a fairly interesting story for what it is. When it stopped being zombies, I stopped caring. Are they even zombies in RE6? Whatever...all I see in that game is a man giving a giraffe the night of his life.
And yeah, Operation: Raccoon Terrible was just that. Not even multiplayer could save that game, because the multiplayer was broken half the time. And seriously, that last boss? Come on, bro.

I am genuinely trying to figure out if I'm missing something deeper and you get all pissy and tell me to get out. Strange.
I like RE 4 and 5 a lot actually. I'm just don't think the stories or characters are as engaging or deep as some put them out to be. I'd seriously like to know why a person would consider Chris or whoever a great character though.
Talk about trying to impress someone. Geeeee whiiiizzz.

Chris used to be a great character. He was just a regular guy. Then he went all superhero mode in 5 and became an alright chracter. I'm surpised the ndesu boss fight wasn't him and Chris boxing. Chris's hair in 5 was fantastic, however.

That's not what it sounded like. The way you say it, it sounds like you can't believe why one would like the story and characters of Resident Evil. Long story short, you're saying it sucks. Now I'm one to believe in such a thing as terrible products and great products (in this case the characters and story). But quality also has nothing to do with how much you enjoy said product. Everyone enjoys different things for different reasons. There's nothing I can say to make you magically see the "light". If you got nothing out of the characters and story, then that was you. You saw a poor story and a character that has nothing more to him but his hair. Meanwhile, someone else saw a fairly decent story with an attractive character who sports a sarcastic attitude and has shown lot's of growth since his last appearance.
What, did I impress you?:P
The Stryker
09-11-2012, 01:11 PM
Actually my opinion of you went down a notch when you tried to go into your little tough guy routine. You're usually one of the not-crazies here. (I wouldn't dare to compare you to people like Aquaparade. I'm not cruel.)
It's not about magically seeing the light and wanting to be swayed to the 'other side' it's merely about understanding. When I like something I can usually point out something besides 'Its good to me so it's good to me'.
Again. I like RE4 and 5. I just think the story is convuluted and the characters are generic. Maybe I'm missing something though and that's why I ask. No need to get all defensive over it and act like I just insulted your mother or something.
BTW I was completely ready to play RE6 and I was excited about it. My opinion on the story and all but then I played the demo.

It's not about magically seeing the light and wanting to be swayed to the 'other side' it's merely about understanding. When I like something I can usually point out something besides 'Its good to me so it's good to me'.
Again. I like RE4 and 5. I just think the story is convuluted and the characters are generic. Maybe I'm missing something though and that's why I ask. No need to get all defensive over it and act like I just insulted your mother or something.My point is, you're not missing anything. You got everything everyone else did. You just took it differently. You don't need to understand it. Why do people like Mario? He's just a plumber with a mustache. But I bet you'll get so many different answers. Even dumb ones. People could like Sonic because he's blue, Master Chief because he looks cool, Chris Redfield simply because they want to look like him. No one can really give an appropriate answer. I mean yeah, they are pretty generic, but sometimes that's not a bad thing.
And again, the way you said it was pretty insulting (but nothing to bitch about). But I assure you, I was not getting defensive at all. Maybe you were just reading my posts as if I was being a butthurt prick or something. I wasn't though, it's cool dude.
BTW I was completely ready to play RE6 and I was excited about it. My opinion on the story and all but then I played the demo.You shouldn't lose hope yet. That demo was based on a game still in development. Who knows, maybe you'll change your mind on the 18th when they release the public demo.

Don't give up on RE6 just yet. Games tend to change a lot in the time between development and actual release. Just look at what RE4 used to be like! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_5kwX0LZAc

That's not really a good comparison. That version could of possibly been better than what we ended up getting, in terms of horror anyway. It actually looked like a perfect evolution of the series. Although, I do admit that I have noticed improvement since the Dragon's Dogma demo.
Anyway, the reason they changed that version of Resident Evil 4 was because it felt too much like Silent Hill. I don't see why they couldn't just change the enemies...

I meant it as more of a "look at how much the game changed from this to release" example, not specifically pertaining towards it being a better or worse edition of what got at the end. Personally, I like RE4 the way it was released, even if it is less scary than it could have been.

I do too, even then, that version was scrapped. I wouldn't expect that big of a difference in a matter of months. Technically, they were two different games. The game still looks similar enough to the demo released in July. Anyway, Capcom has said that the DD demo was a bad representation of the game. I think they even said it was two years old or something, not sure.

The DD demo was definitely a bad intro to the game, but not actually bad. Leon had nothing to do. 90% of the time you couldn't even aim his gun... Chris had a little too much to do... Jake's was fun. If the next demo is what I've seen online (Leon in the courtyard, Chris fighting that boss and Jake off being somewhere that I'm not paying attention to, because he sucks.) Then I think it'll change people's opinions.
From what I've read, this "Carla" is just an Ada doppelganger to frame her. Which is a total downer because it takes away everything that got me excited for the game in the first place, the Chris and Leon stand off over Ada. It was emotionally unstable Chris whose in a blind rage and only cared about revenge for his dead team vs. Leon, who loves her and isn't going to let anyone hurt her. Now, they can just say that it wasn't her. It's like a get out of jail free card, which sucks.
RE6 ain't too hot from what I hear, homies.
I will always maintain the opinion that the Resident Evil franchise is over, and has been over for many years. I'm glad I didn't pick up Giraffe Blowjob 6.

Gonna borrow it from a friend at some point, if I like it, maybe I'll buy a complete edition in the future.
