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, woman.

Also, the demo was garbage.

The other thread didn't come up on my page for some reason. There was only 1 page of content.

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.

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 wish they would have added RE 1.5 to the collection, that would have been awesome.

RE 2 ended up being one of the best in the series but I still don't get why 1.5 was scrapped....it looked awesome.

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.

Oh, I really wish we got an evolved version of that. The more I see it, the more I wish we got that instead. Hell, even the fog version looked interesting. But I think that ended up becoming what we know as uoroboros today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing beats the awesome live action intro featuring an all porn star cast.

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*

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.

I heard that revolver he carries around is really powerful. Especially against living things.

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...

'Rebecca? Is that you?'

'It's me, Chris'.


Not like she is standing right there.

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.

Took the WWE route and went PG, ha.

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.

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

Best death from RE5.

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.

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.
