Digital Journal Review: Resident Evil 6 is a sad reminder that this game exists

Resident Evil 6 for the Next-Gen consoles is another attempt by Capcom to convince fans that this is a fun title but it ends up becoming a sorry way to promote an embarrassment.

Why did Capcom bother to release Resident Evil 6 for the PS4? Most of us rather forget that this game exists, it was an embarrassment to the series.

$$$$$$

A cheap port like this doesn't need to sell many copies to be successful, so this is ea$y money for Capcom.

5 was a sign of things to come but at least it had parts that were enjoyable, 6 was just terrible 90% of the time and I will be advising everyone I know against this polished turd.

Ambient_Malice2985d ago

What exactly is wrong with RE6, taking for granted that it is a pure action game oriented around dodging, melee, and fast gunplay, with no intention of trying to be a survival horror game?

Ambient_Malice2985d ago

Resident Evil 6 is one of the best selling entries in the series. The people who hate the game are a vocal minority.

t-hall7852985d ago

Not true. After skipping 5, i purchased this and after playing halfway through, i came to the conclusion that I'm done with the series. Its just a cash grab at this point. Selling off of its name alone.
Just because you buy a game, doesn't mean you like it.

Yeah you keep telling yourself that - LOL

Its a good game, and I like how the atmosphere is different for each character, Leon is inspired by the old RE Games. What I can understand is that people don't wanna have a sidekick around and rather be on their own as that adds to the feeling of survival.

To the defenders of this game, please watch this.

Some of the points made in the video are invalid because the game got patched to alleviate them. FOV is a big one. And also instadeath QTEs. And many of the others are ridiculous complaints amounting to "This action game plays like an action game and I don't like that."

oasdada2985d ago (Edited 2985d ago )

The revieew practically doesnt tell you anything about the port at all.. this is less of a review and more of an opinion piece

Ambient_Malice2985d ago

Especially the part where it says, "Overall, the only thing that has been accomplished by Resident Evil 6 for the Next-Gen consoles is reminding fans (who are hooked to Resident Evil HD and Zero HD) that this game exists. Like The Godfather Pt. III, fans are just going to continue to pretend that this game doesn't exists."

Some people might have trouble accepting this, but RE6 sold way more copies than REMAKE HD and RE0 HD. It sold waaaaaay more copies than RE0 HD. In a poll, RE6 was voted the fourth most popular RE game by readers of iconic Japanese publication Famitsu. RE0 didn't make the top 10.

Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B441d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot441d ago

It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason

I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.

Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.

RpgSama439d ago

I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.

That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.

MadLad439d ago

I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.

babadivad439d ago (Edited 439d ago )

RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.

RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.

RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.

They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.

hotnickles439d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313439d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984441d ago (Edited 441d ago )

“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”

1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013

2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.

3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.

“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”

Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.

And death of the franchise?

RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.

RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it

TheEnigma313439d ago (Edited 439d ago )

Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.

MIDGETonSTILTS17439d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
