RIP Resident Evil – RE6 Demo Impressions | Nerd Array

Nerd Array - Fair to say if you read my ‘Five Things Resident Evil 6 Needs...’ article you’d understand that I’m quite a fan of the series, and zombies, and blood and all the fun stuff that makes video games great. So imagine my delight when I recently got hands on with the Resident Evil 6 demo.

[OneAboveAll]

I think all RE games after Code V suck. I like the classic (Static) camera angles. The camera on the new games is terrible imo. Too close to the character. The controls are just clunky all around. When you try to walk you have to barely press forward on the stick other wise you end up running.

The cover system is also trash. Before the haters come in and knock my OPINION that's just it. It's my opinion so if you don't like it buzz off.

This game sucks. Release RE HD collection of the first 3 games.

[LOGICWINS]

I actually enjoyed RE5. It wasn't as good as RE4, but I still enjoyed it. Didn't enjoy the RE6 demo though. They took the cinematic action WAAAAY too far in this one. I played through Leon's section, but not two minutes into Chris' section, I quit the game and deleted the demo. What a joke. Felt like a clunkier version of Gears of War.

And it could just be me, but the controls feel tight enough.

"Summarising what RE6 is all about is quite simple; imagine a very clunky Gears of War."

LMAO...EXACTLY what I thought as well.

[LOGICWINS]

*controls DON'T feel tight enough

[Winter47th]

I don't get it, they said the main reason they got rid of the static camera angle (Even though the backgrounds were freaking ART) was because of the tank controls, right now all the characters control like a fucking tank and the camera angle is HORRENDOUS!

[jony_dols]

Resident Evil 2 sold 6.2 million copies on the PS1 alone! (And that's not including the sales of the PC, N64 & Dreamcast versions).

So why can't Capcom realize that old school RE sells, & that you don't have to become a generic GOW clone to hit big figures.

T-Virus zombies, restricted ammo supply & a scary atmosphere; 3 things that an RE game hasn't done since Code Veronica

[Imalwaysright]

I agree with everything you guys said. RE6 is definetely the poor man GeOW. Even as an action TPS RE6 is a subpar game.

[Perjoss]

I actually really enjoyed RE5 also, just a couple of things pissed me off, firstly I don't think they really needed to add that 2nd character Sheva to the single player story, it made the game a little less intense. And I really hated when the zombies started shooting back at me later in the game, that was ultra facepalm.

[GuyThatPlaysGames]

@jony_dols and everyone else, if you like the old Resident Evil games, then just download the PS1 classics from the PS store and be done with it.

[decrypt]

RIP capcom.

If people want to play GeOW then thats what they will do.

With RE we want a real horror game.

[Perjoss]

"With RE we want a real horror game."

Dead Space, the first one at least, I didn't play 2 yet. Dead Space just feels and plays like how the newer RE games should. IMO.

[UnwanteDreamz]

@Perjoss

If you liked the first play the second. Its a decent sequel. More horror than RE5

[Kevin ButIer]

RE2 was my first PS game... i loved that MF

[ape007]

Resi4 = best resi game ever and one of the best games ever. period

[GrahamGolden]

res2 was the best sry to break it to ya donkey nap

[Ak47Russia]

Resident Evil 1-2-3 an code veronika were the best.

Res 4 was not that scary and it wasn't that good.

[ape007]

"resi 4 wasn't that good", LOOOOOOOOOL

[geddesmond]

I loved RE4. As much as I really loved the original RE games, RE4 was a breath of fresh air for the series. Shinji wanted to try something new with the series and he succeeded.

However Crapcom should have stopped there and instead of progressing on Shinjis ideas they should have done a hybrid child between RE2 and RE4. Brought back the survival horror aspect with maze like levels and puzzles to solve while keeping the new aim system and loads of guns for the series.

They took a survival horror game that made fans into fans and turned it into a linear cover based third person shooter with a disorientating camera angle, made it possible to melle your way through the game by kicking zombies in half lol and F**ked the story up so much that the only thing recognizable is character names and the Umbrella corporation mentions.

T and G virus, Las praga virus, Uroboros virus and now a new virus. Whats next a virus that turns people into dinosaurs and characters from Dino Crisis make appearances in the game!!???

[Blastoise]

" Whats next a virus that turns people into dinosaurs and characters from Dino Crisis make appearances in the game!!???"

Upcoming Dino DLC, only £15.99 pre-order now

[King_many_layers]

Your second paragraph described RE Revelations on 3DS. It's a huge shame that Revelations is only on 3DS as it really is a much better game than 5 and 6 (based on the demo).

needing keys and cards, backtracking creepy areas and some tough bosses all mixed with some good second screen implementations.

I wish so much for it to go multiplatform so more could experience it.

[TheFirstClassic]

@King_many_layers from what I've seen RE revelations is really a true resi game, and its one of the main reasons I want a 3ds. Sad that the handheld game got it better than the console one, and I really wish it was on Vita.

[Knight_Crawler]

Have to agree, when I was playing the demo I felt like I was playing so many other different games but not RE.

I really wanted this game to succeed and go back to its roots because RE is part of my childhood memories but Capcom has took those memories and burned them.

I guess the saying great things do not last forever so enjoy them while you can is so true :(

Edit: Capcom can still get back some of there dignity if they HD remake RE 1,2 and 3 with the Frostbite 2.0 engine.

[Flewid638]

Sounds like you stated facts to me.

[Old McGroin]

@ OneAboveAll

I would advise you to actually play the original Resi games again, they're horribly dated now and not a good experience at all. Like everyone else who loved the original Resi games I see them with rose tinted glasses. That is until I bought Resi 1 on PSN. Christ it's horrible to play now!
I agree with your gripe that the camera is too close to the characters now and the controls are a bit clunky but the controls in the original games were a LOT more clunky so I don't see how the feel of the controls now would be a problem for you. Bit of a contradiction really.
Wish people would give Resi 6 a chance, so much hatred for a game which hasn't even been released to the public yet! I liked the demo but I wouldn't base my opinion of a 40 hour game on a 10 minute demo.
By the way, to everyone who gives out about the "zombies" shooting back, if you were actual fans of the series you would know that these enemies aren't zombies at all. In fact, no zombie in any Resi game has ever fired a gun of any kind. It's a common misconception by haters.

[TheFirstClassic]

The only resi game I've played was 4 a few months back, which I loved. I haven't played any of the first three but I plan to. In my experience, we get so used to the smooth controls of today's games that when we play the late 90s games they feel clunky because we are used to games that don't take any time to get used to, but for a lot of these older games I feel like its more fun once you get accustomed to the way it plays.

When I first played mgs 1 I thought I wouldn't like it at first because of the controls, but after I got used to it it became my favorite game of all time. Not saying that will happen with resi, but sometimes you just have to give those old clunky controls a chance to grow on you.

[Imalwaysright]

Its all a matter of opinion. Im replaying RE2 and im having just as much fun playing it as i had playing what imo are the best games of the current generation. Even today old RE games (inclunding RE4) have the ability to immerse me in them like very few games did this gen and that is why RE is one of my favorite franchises and that is why i dont like the direction Capcom is taking the series.

RE5 was a decent game and i enjoyed it for what it was but that RE6 demo was boring from start to finish. RE6 could be a decent action TPS but it isnt due to cluncky controls, piss poor camera, sloppy cover system, terrible A.I and playing with superhuman mutants on steroids that can breeze through the game karate kid style. Yes old RE games have tank controls but they work perfectly fine for what the games requires of them. RE6 on the other hand being an action TPS requires intuitive controls and a camera that doesnt get in the way. Capcom better have fixed those issues in the final build or RE6 wont just be a horrid RE game, it will also be a mediocre TPS.

[Frodosmugins]

I couldnt agree more! the part about the camera..fwk yeah! When I put RE4,5,6 in to play I was thiking wtf.. why is the left side of my screen the blind spot.. I cant see anything..I really cant describe it so well but its really iritating not being able to see to my left at all..

Maybe i would want to play this non horror game if they just fixed the view..

Dark Souls got it spot on with the camera angles and even though thats not a horror game intended Iv had more frights than the last 3 RE games!

[DivineAssault]

what happened to you capcom? I tried the demo & was terribly disappointed.. Everyone said that leons sections were the best yet even those sucked! A clunkier gears of war is what i was feeling.. Spamming kicks to enemies was a breeze if i ever ran out of the over abundant bullets.. If felt arcadey in many ways too.. I miss finding documents, keys, artifacts, etc to use on places i couldnt reach before.. Not stuff that was a room away.. Its BUTCHERED & this will be the 1st RE game i dont buy at launch.. Revelations (Jill sections only) was a much better game to me.. Demo was too

[neogeo]

After careful consideration of the context to your comment and after further analyses.

We unfortunately are going to have to go with a Disagree and a minus 1-bub on this particular topic at hand.

Thanks.

[DivineAssault]

Go for broke jr.. Ditto

[_LarZen_]

Haters always comment, I am not one of them.

Realy enjoyed the game, and I am glad Capcom are using more time on the Pc version to make it as good as possible.

Maybe we will finally get a really good Pc version?

[Knight_Crawler]

Why do people always say that.

Why would we hate on anything RE when we grew up on RE and is edged in our memories? If anything we want the RE franchise to succeed and a continue forever.

I wont go into the reasons why RE5 and 6 are so disappointing because everyone has there on judgement and I respect your...happy for you that you enjoy the game and hope you support the RE franchise as much as I did.

[_LarZen_]

Because it's true? If you look at the comment section around there is 99% just trash talk.

People hating on this and that, if everyone that was happy had the same urge or reason to write the haters would not dominate the commenting places around.

I'm for one are sick of the haters, the same negative bla bla bla every time.

I wish more people that are pleased with games and other product's for that mater spoke more up in the commenting sections..

[zeeshan]

Larzen, before you start sounding even more dumber than you appear, please, just stop talking!

[GrahamGolden]

ye ye....and we all saw the res4-5 pc versions how "awesome they were"

worst port i ever saw this gen

[phntom]

Stop being an asshole, nobody here is hating the game, most are only disappointed with the lack of commitment from Capcom in another of its franchises. People like you are just too immature to accept the numerous failures and bad decisions made ​​in the development your favorite franchise.

[WheatBread]

Resident Evil Remake is the best game in the series.

[nintendojunkie28]

I totally agree,love that game.

[josephayal]

R.i.p RE and FF

[TongkatAli]

Demo was very bad.

[VsAssassin]

I was able to finish Leon's demo and I liked the walk and shoot thing; however, Chris' demo was really a shooter. Luckily, I guess, I was still able to finish the demo. Now when I played jake's demo, I had to quit the game at the site of more enemies after you go down the chute. Seriously, I literally felt like my chest was burdened; like I was suffocating, Right then and there I knew that I won't be picking this game up day one.

Capcom, maybe it's time to create a new survival horror game and let RE rest, lest its identity be lost in the possible sequels.

[Yangus]

True!
This game crap.

Sad R.i.p Resident Evil.

[DigitalRaptor]

Good to see people here voicing their opinions on without being silenced by people who think it looks like a good RE experience (!?)

If this was a spin-off, admitted so by Capcom, then it would be acceptable. But face facts guys.. this is a main entry to a survival horror series. You can't defend Capcom on this one. They've taken a series that majorly spearheaded survival horror and turned it into a run-of-the-mill action shooter to try and make it appeal to different types of people, instead of series fans.

If we accept this sort of thing, the series is only going to develop in the same direction and become something almost disgusting to see. Remember, you're not a hater if you have genuine concern about the direction of a series you love. Some people just don't seen to give a s**t!

[GiantFriendlyCrab]

Capcom could not care less what you think, they will still make buckets Of money from younger generation aka COD kids.

The last capcom game series i really liked was Dead rising

[Carl_Shocker]

"without being silenced by people who think it looks like a good RE experience (!?)"

Basicaly the people who say they've played the old RE games but you know they either didn't care for them or didn't like them but now because RE now appeals to them because of the horrible changes that go against what the game was about, they now enjoy it and have the cheek to call themselfs fans.

EDIT@Digimortal

Oh I'm sorry I forgot to think about the gamers who love RE so much they think every next RE game is the next best thing.

[Digimortal]

This doesn't apply to me at all. RE is the only franchise i warship to the ground. Gameplay changes don't bother me at all. I play them for the Storyline, characters, creatures we fight, and other aspects in the world Capcom created. So Far, I've played the demo every day since Tuesday when it was released about 10 times per day. I can't get enough of it. October 2nd can't get here soon enough.

[Digimortal]

Don't get me wrong i understand that fans are pissed at the whole Survival horror and i get that but this wasn't the reason why i love RE so much.

[Flewid638]

I can dig this statement and technically this is what it was about for me too.

Unfortunately the controls (for me) have been butchered to the point of unplayability. So now the lore must take a backseat.

RIP Resident Evil. You are hung in the closet along with Tekken (since 5). You will be missed.

[CrimsonWing69]

@Carl_Shocker

So, according to you, because I enjoy the new Resident Evil games and even though I like all the old ones just as much I'm not really a fan?

And anyone that tells you their opinion on how they like the new RE6 and tells you that your logic doesn't apply to them is a "gamer who loves RE so much they think every next RE game is the next best thing."

I'm really trying to follow you on this one, but it's like a retard trying to explain to me that anyone who likes lunch doesn't like breakfast.

Could it be, maybe, just maybe, that more people than you think can like all the Resident Evil games new and old?

I know I do, and I know I'm really looking forward to playing the full game of RE6. I liked the demo, had a great time playing it, and want to see how the story unfolds. *Gasp* and i like the old ones just as much...sorry guys I think I may have jump started the universe into imploding upon itself.

[Carl_Shocker]

@CrimsonWing69

Oh goodie it's my number 1 fan who has commented on nearly every RE6 post I make trying to defend the crap out of the game and Capcom.

You don't even post that much and yet most of them are to me....I'm flattered. I told you in a PM you should stop trying to troll my comments and make them into an argument incase you get done for trolling like last time. Hey...just trying to warn you

"but it's like a retard trying to explain to me that anyone who likes lunch doesn't like breakfast."

So your trying to compare me to a retard...nice...really mature.

"So, according to you, because I enjoy the new Resident Evil games and even though I like all the old ones just as much I'm not really a fan?"

If you read my comment you'll know I'm talking about the ones who didn't class themself as a fan back then because they didn't like them. You liking the old ones totaly excludes you from my comment.

Please read before you post next time...oh and don't try and compare someone to a retard, it's kind of hurtful and immature.

[Old McGroin]

Wrong. Resident Evil is no longer a survival horror franchise as admitted by Capcom here: http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
Because of the sales volumes of action games in America like COD, Capcom decided they wanted a piece of the action (pun entirely intended) and began to steer it that way from Resi 4 onwards. So don't blame Capcom, blame the bland genre preferences of gamers in America (not my words, check out the article I linked above!).
So you might as well give up any hope at all of another survival horror entry to the series.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

At least, Capcom said so themselves that it isn't. I have no idea why so many people try their best to say that it is a survival horror or an evolution of the series. It just changed genres, it's as simple as that.

[schlanz]

Sad to constantly see people dismissing this game based on a demo + nostalgia goggles.

If this game is anything like 4 and 5 I will love it. Day 1. Don't need to play the demo.

[Knight_Crawler]

"Sad to constantly see people dismissing this game based on a demo + nostalgia goggles. "

After all the sh!t that Capcom has giving its fans this gen (Dante,Mega Man, DLC on disc, 40 versions of street fighter...) you really expect us to blindly give CAPCOM our hard earn money?

Nostalgia? You do cannibalize your loyal fanbase by giving great horror survival games and then give them the middle finger and say you play what we give you becuase action packer shooters are what the kids are buying these days.

[Flewid638]

Then, there's it being a bad game.

[schlanz]

Canabalizing a fanbase would be releasing a game that steals sales from another similar game. But I get what youre trying to say.

Im not condoning capcoms shady anti-consumer practices, but I'd be lying if I said RE4 and 5 (and Revelations) weren't some of my favorite games of their respective generations. Yes, its not survival horror. Condolences. Regardless how much they have strayed from their roots and how betrayed their "true" fans feel, the games are fun and I have full confidence 6 will be as well.

[FunAndGun]

So don't base a decision on playing a demo!???

Ok, so we can't dismiss it after we see a trailer.

We can't dismiss it after we read previews.

We can't dismiss it after we read reviews.

We can't dismiss it after we played the demo.

Do I have to rent/buy the game, finish it, and then can I dismiss it??

[schlanz]

You can at least wait until it actually releases.

[Krimmson]

The demo played much worse than 4 and 5. The graphics are worse than RE5, the controls are too loose, the camera can give you motion sickness, there are QTEs up the ass and the animations for complimenting your team mate are laughable.
http://i.minus.com/ibaKja2e...

[air1]

I loved code veronice... The good ol days.

[Digimortal]

So far out of all the complaints I've seen for RE6 so far are not an issue for me. Allow me to list the complaints I've seen across different forums and here.

1) Controls feel Clunky - This i can understand but i got use to them almost right away. The only aspect that took me a little while to get use to was the dodge system and no tank controls. Other then, its straight forward from there.

2) Cover system is useless and clunky - There is a work around for this. Running towards a object rather it be a Wall or something you can take cover behind, while running towards it and holding L1 you slide and you will automatically get into cover.

3) Graphics look like crap - This doesn't bother me cause i don't care for graphics

4) Inventory system is pointless in the demo - It's great for mixing herbs together which also makes it easier to refill your herb pills.

5) Feels like Gears of War/ COD - This makes me puke every time i hear this. Plays nothing like those 2 games.

6) Moving while shooting feels extremely slow - I can see why people would say this but for me at least isn't an issue. I use it from time to time.

7) Dodge system is crap - Sliding under a table and shooting a zombie while laying on the ground feels great. Rolling to avoid enemy attacks is also great and adds another level strat to the game well at least for me it does.

8) Zombies with Guns - These are not zombies, pay attention to the story.

9) The A.I sucks just like it was in Re5 - Mark targets to make it easier for you so you don't waste ammo.

10) Melee is overpowered - Don't use it then.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Don't worry dude, soon as an actual survival horror comes out for consoles (hopefully Zwei fits the bill), you will hear no more complaints because horror fans will be gone and you can have Biohazard 6 to yourself.

[DigitalRaptor]

You are part of the problem. You "worship the series to the ground" but neglect to understand why people are truly criticising Capcom for the changes.

Resident Evil is a survival horror/puzzle series. It has always had tense, well-paced, scary gameplay. It ISN'T an explosive action shooter, series but Resident Evil 6 is like Michael Bay got in the director's chair.

Capcom has neglected their fanbase to try to branch out to gain more sales from people who like Gears of War and other generic spec-ops style shooters. And of course boobies on a boss. Gotta get them horny teenagers buying the game.

I hear people calling it an evolution, but they've ripped out the backbone of what made the series so great. The fear. There's nothing scary about the game at all. Nothing. The interesting exploration and puzzles are gone.

Those excuses you made are just selfish reasons why you like generic shooters. It's about survival horror. There is none.

[CrimsonWing69]

"You are part of the problem. You "worship the series to the ground" but neglect to understand why people are truly criticizing Capcom for the changes."

So, Digimortal isn't aloud to like the game because you don't like it? I think he presented a fair argument as to why he enjoyed RE6 and why your opinions don't represent nor do they affect his.

"Resident Evil is a survival horror/puzzle series. It has always had tense, well-paced, scary gameplay. It ISN'T an explosive action shooter, series but Resident Evil 6 is like Michael Bay got in the director's chair."

Survival/horror...what are you defining the elements of "survival horror"? Tension? That's rather subjective, but I'd argue the section of Leon's demo where the zombies pour into the hallway through windows had a fair bit of TENSION.

Well-paced, scary gameplay? Another subjective declaration, but again, I'd argue being overwhelmed by enemies with little ammo and having to run to a car in order to get away alive, is a piece of WELL-PACED, SCARY GAMEPLAY.

"Resident Evil is like Michael Bay got in the director's chair"

Michael Bay doesn't own the rights to all segments of actions and explosions. We're also talking about a game series that had you finishing the final boss with a bazooka or satellite gun, all while running through a facility in less than 5 minutes before it exploded. The supposed "Michael Bay" action and explosions have sorta always been in Resident Evil.

Remember when you got to duel-wield Uzi 9mms as Steve in Code Veronica and when Chris had an AK-47 or the part where the facility explosion launches him out an elevator and onto the nose of a jet where he laughs it off? Or better yet, what about the destruction of Raccoon City exploding into a giant mushroom cloud, while the EMP just shook up the helicopter you got away in, instead of um, shutting it down? Oh wait, this one was good, remember when Claire dropped a gun and caught it while somehow falling faster than the gun and shot those flammable cans they had stored in that facility room?

[CrimsonWing69]

I'm curious, you say Gears of War and other spec-ops (assuming you mean the spec-ops series as well) style shooters are generic and that RE6 is like these shooters, therefore it's generic...but what are you comparing these to?

If Gears of War is considered a generic shooter, what shooter isn't generic? I just want to know so I can juxtapose the two for comparison.

"I hear people calling it an evolution, but they've ripped out the backbone of what made the series so great. The fear. There's nothing scary about the game at all. Nothing. The interesting exploration and puzzles are gone."

Scary again is very subjective, if you're talking atmosphere, I'd again argue that RE6 presents an atmosphere that contains elements of horror, i.e. The unknown, the unexpected, the unseen, the unstoppable, helplessness, urgency, pressure, and intensity.

As for evolution again, the things you've argued about I've found in the demo. Even needing to "explore" for a key to unlock a previously locked door. Sure some of the puzzles that are more involved are gone for pacing reasons, but those alone weren't enough to represent what a Resident Evil game was as an entire series.

So if most of these elements are within the newer entries and you claim to not recognize the series from its previous entries, then again I'd argue as a developing product, with gradual changes in characteristics, and implementing a hybrid of genres (horror and action) it has, by the very definition of evolution, evolved. Adaptation is what you can't conform to. Those who can adapt to the series's changes seem to enjoy the game.

"Those excuses you made are just selfish reasons why you like generic shooters. It's about survival horror. There is none."

So, Digimortal's points and perspectives are excuses instead of his personal opinions and because he enjoys the game he automatically likes all generic shooters (which you still need to define what isn't a generic shooter)?

I would argue that it is SELFISH of you to condemn his views and disallow him to enjoy the game he wants to enjoy.

Oh and yeah, I like RE6...a lot.

[Silver_Edge]

@Crimsonwing69

Lol, this guy...

well Crimson you make strong arguments and parallels. Yeah evolution and adaptation. Seems like the older fans who refuse to adapt will die out as more and more newer fans take over as the majority.

To be fair though on both sides I see why older fans are passionate. It's like losing that thing you loved, even if you find pieces of that thing you loved in another, it still isn't that thing you loved before.

If that makes sense. These older fans are clinging onto hopes for a new generation of that older thing they loved and unfortunately that isn't how things in the entertainment media work. Soon, newer fans, will become like these older fans when the game evolves again. It's a never ending cycle.

Me though, I adapt, I like the games for their story and characters and as a game from a separate-point of a view, yeah, i like the newer gameplay just fine.

I'll be there buying RE6 at day one.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

What makes survival in Survival horror:

-Enemies that don't drop any ammo: Bullets that are found in logical (and some illogical places for laughs). Even Resident Evil 3 Nemesis which included the reloading tool made sense to balance the game mainly because he was a bullet sponge that randomly attacks. Fitting rewards were given to toppling the beast but he or she was usually left with to no ammo for the normal creatures prowling the game.

-Monsters that discourage head-on combat: Resident Evil had zombies that took a good amount of damage and able to give even more when you were caught in it's clutches. Even Shinji Mikami took it to the next level with Crimson Heads who took even more damage, increased movement speed. Resident Evil Remake kinda "punished" players who were gung ho in their tactics. Taking on any of the above with a knife was suicide unless you were adept with the blade which if you made one mistake was almost fatal.

-Limited Saves: Knowing that you have a chance of screwing yourself over by using too many saves is enough to encourage any player to watch what they do.

- No Co-op: Do I really need to dwell on that....

- Atmosphere and Immersion: This just doesn't mean the theatres but how the player controls as well. I can make a nightmarish simulator that can scare anyone after a few milliseconds but "Stone Cold Stunning" a zombie automatically renders my hard work in vain. Survival Horror is all about making the player feel helpless which sending droves of enemies which drop ammo and are taken down easily with over the top moves doesn't do at all. (Might as well play Godhand)

Those are only a few of the methods which are are used in the game which even if the game isn't scary it still encourages a player to think before they leap. Resident Evil 6 doesn't raise or barely have any elements which fits the genre. They might as well COD Zombies as well seeing they have zombies in it it......

[Neo-Axl]

Usually the average person complains about 1 thing about a game, .. In this case your replying to 10 problems. That alone speaks for itself, The demo was utterly shit.. RE5 felt like an upgrade to what we were given.

I'll judge myself when I have the full game, until then.. "All Hope is Lost" for RE6 xD.

[Campy da Camper]

I finally (39 years old) understand why my parents complained that everything I got into, from music to TV to books, was a poor, crappy version of the greatness they experienced growing up.

I used to roll my eyes when they knocked my Metallica, or the He-man cartoons I was watching citing they were horrible remakes of what were classics; The Rolling Stones, Mickey Mouse, etc...

We clinch to what we grew up on and look at what the kids of today like and shutter in HORROR at what has been done to what we would call video game perfection. I have lost my Splinter Cell, My COD and now my Resident Evil. When I listen to the crap coming out of my daughter Ipod and when I mention that these new games are abortions of what was once a great game she...(shock) rolls her eyes at me.

OMG I am MY PARENTS.

[jghvhv]

It's the cirrrrrcle,the circle of liiiiife!
(Just like The Lion King)

[The_Devil_Hunter]

I agree with what you just said, I loved the way you put it too. We all become what made us.

[Straightupbeastly]

Resident Evil 4 was amazing. It walked the fine line of action and surival puzzle horror perfectly. The atmosphere was amazing in that game.

My fav Resident evil is Resident evil 0, though. Game is scary and hard as hell. Such a great challenge, in true Resident Evil fashion.

I remember being in school and thinking about ways to figure out the puzzles I had trouble with. I used to get butterflies from anticipation of getting home and playing and defeating the next stage. That's what video games are about. Games nowadays are too easy and generic, that feeling is lost. The appeal in games today is the chore aspect, ranking up with XP, not the skill and challenge aspect. There is no sense of accomplishment. You finish ranking up or beating a game today and you're left wanting more.

[TongkatAli]

Rebbeca Chambers is my favorite RE character.

[ILive]

You know the demo isn't really that bad. I do have to admit that I was put off by the controls in the beginning; but the more you play it, the more you start to get a feel for it (I think a little heaviness could have helped). Anyway, the demo should be given more than one chance, playing it smart as opposed to wrecklessly. The addition of the ability to be able to counter is also cool and it adds more excitement to the game. Imagine while shooting an enemy and out of no where another enemy is about to attack you and you counter it smoothly while finishing it off with the final blow...sweet! The demo is really fun, though you may have to play it more than once to realize it. One thing I don't understand is why people keep comparing it to Call of duty and gears of war. It is only a DEMO!

Thanks for the demo, Capcom. Now my decision is made that I am not buying this game.

[GammaSix]

Isnt it funny how capcom explained that this was a very old biuld and yet people still bitch?

[Flewid638]

Why release a demo of an old build. If the purpose of a demo is for people to buy your game, then this is what we are expected to buy.

Will there be touches and finishes to this game? Sure. But I am pretty confident that how it feels is what the end product will feel like.

[GammaSix]

its a build from over a year ago, why they decided to do that i dunno, but they have shown lots of changes and explained more

[Grenade]

RE6 demo was shit.

[Flewid638]

The worst mistake Capcom made on this one is not outsourcing the control scheme to a Western team.

This sort of gameplay (esp now that you can move and shoot) is something this company doesn't have much experience doing. I would highly recommend (if my opinion mattered) they do this and delay the release.

Or else R.I.P Resident Evil for real.

"This sort of gameplay (esp now that you can move and shoot) is something this company doesn't have much experience doing."

Um, Lost Planet, Dino Crisis 2, and the Devil May Cry series handled it pretty well...just saying.

Personally, I think it's handled well in RE6 as well. Some people can't play some games as well as others. But for those that can play it, it uh, it plays like a third person shooter that lets you move and shoot.

I think Resident Evil will be alright.

The demo, if representative of the actual game, was fun. However, it wasn't fun enough for a purchase.

I forgot how much companions take away from the tension and suspense.

Ya resident evil sucks the first 3 games are epic. I played the demo for 5 and was shocked at how bad the game was. The weird camera angles and the odd movements. This is one series living off it's name. Resident evil 1 through 3 are classics capcom should have stuck to the formula and just made the graphics and story better. Instead they changed resident evil from a fun creepy game. To a game that no one wants to play anymore.

[rezzah]

Camera and cover controls are the worst thing about the demo. It didn't feel as good as 5.

[shossofe]

I liked the part where I sat in the car staring at the zombies pound at the window for 10 minutes.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... .. This has better graphics, better game-play, better atmosphere, better.. everything. This IS Resident Evil, Not this "Gears Of Evil 6" Garbage!

[Max-Zorin]

How funny. Resi5 come out the fans are like ''Why do the characters still move slow and clunky and can't move and shoot at the same time?!!?!!!''?
Resi6 demo come out and now they're mad we can move and shoot at the same time and that they got rid of tank controls. And the fact they're comparing it to Call of Duty and Gears is pure comedy. And the zombies with weapons talk ROFL. Those are improved bio weapons not zombies. Look at Nemesis for example. He sometimes had a rocket launcher while chasing you. Hell he even shot down a rescue helicopter so please shut up about bio weapons being able to shoot at you. It's nothing new. Just be glad rescuing Ashley isn't the main objective.

[Neo-Axl]

Well for me personally, The game-play felt like a beta version of Dead Spaces game-play.. which as you can imagine, wasn't very praise-worthy.

We'll judge properly when we have the actual game, But if that demo is anything to go by.. I hope RE6 flops, if not by sales.. then by critical acclaim, I already know the already pissed off fan-base will not be silent.

[abzdine]

it hurts me to say but yes RIP RE.

[OneAboveAll]

Played the demo again to see if I could find something i like. Nothing I like at all. I still can't get over the fact that the characters know kung-fu and can roundhouse a zombie. This makes the games seem like a JOKE!

People can say what they want about the originals being dated in this day and age but back then THEY WERE LEGIT. No moving/walking/running when you fired your weapon. Meaning you had to decide when to fire or when to run your ass off.

The ammo was very limited and the puzzles were a lot harder.

Nemisis coming out of nowhere when you have no ammo? Too damn bad. You die or run. This series has strayed to far away from it's roots. I refuse to buy any 3D RE game.

[kasasensei]

I hate the camera, way too damn close, the stupid big boss fight and the OMG so FCKG stupid IA. But I love almost every other things I saw in this demo. The different enemies & environments, lot of zombie, aiming while walking, shooting lying on the floor, graphics, voices.
BUT I will pick it in goty edition because of all the unlocked content/game modes to pay aside... IT's all your fault Capcom..
