Rumor: Resident Evil 6 To Be “Brutally Scary”

EGM spoke with a reliable insider with knowledge of Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil 6 – rumored to be unveiled in more detail at TGS in the days ahead – who reveals it will

[user858621]

Keep it away from the RE5 developers thats a start :), hell give it to the Revelations developers, that game looks awesome!!

[Hands Up For Games]

Couldnt agree more. RE5 wasnt a bad game, but it wasnt scary in the slightest!

In all honesty, Capcom (SF4) apart have been pretty disappointing this gen, so I dont hold out much hope.

[Laypoof]

I sure hope so. Resident Evil 5 was such a disappointment, although the game itself was good.

[King_many_layers]

am I the only person here who actually thought that the only reason that we got any enjoyment out of the game was because it had the resident evil name to it ??

I honestly feel that I wouldn't have if it didn't.
The story was bland to say the least and lacked any real moment of atmosphere or even tension.
Graphically the game had great character models but all else wasn't exactly all that. The larger levels had poor textures and such. Killzone 2 online looked better and that came out before RE5 and had quite a scope on particular maps.

the animation's were poor as there were pretty much only ever 2 for the enemies.
the aiming mechanic was good, but marred by the fact that it was basically an action game that grounded you to the spot, with awkward meelee controls to adapt to.

If this had a different name it would have been reviewed and recieved entirely differently. We would have seen many a paragraph about how it failed to emulate the controls and atmosphere from recent 'survival horror' game Dead Space.

It was distinctly average.

[chaos-lockheart]

to me i think what they did was, since lion and Chris had been through this horror, they made the game to show you that they aren't afraid of this no more, they are not amature no more, and the fear has been taken out of the characters. so im guessing this new RE is a new or an inexperience person that still is afraid.

[Vandamme21]

SF4 was a great game..U probally don't know how to play it.

[shaun mcwayne]

im scared already, yeah scared its gonna be as scary as a puppy licking a kitten.

[Corax]

You know Capcom you do have other horror/survival games I would like to see comeback. Clock Tower 4 and a new Maximo would be nice to see

[Pozzle]

"to me i think what they did was, since lion and Chris had been through this horror, they made the game to show you that they aren't afraid of this no more, they are not amature no more, and the fear has been taken out of the characters. so im guessing this new RE is a new or an inexperience person that still is afraid."

The thing is, RE5 WAS advertised as being a horror game. Hell, the tagline is "fear you can't forget". Throughout development, Capcom kept mentioning that it would be scary and that they were bringing the horror into the daylight, so that Chris wouldn't feel safe anywhere. There were even those live-action viral videos that showed Chris suffering from PTSD due to the horrors he experienced in Africa.

For all intents and purposes, Capcom DID think people were going to find RE5 a scary game. They just failed miserably.

[gta2800]

I'll believe it till I see it. As of now the last "brutally scary" Resident Evil would be the remake of the 1st one. I miss those days when I would play a Resident Evil nervously while holding the controller with sweaty palms.

[mrmikew2018]

Being a long time fan of the series. I felt that RE 5 was a bad game. From the gameplay all the way to the story. Adam Sessler said it best, "not every game needs a multiplayer attach to it,"

[JaredH]

RE5 was terrible because they had to add co-op and make it more action oriented. Oh and it took place in the daytime for the beginning of the game so that added to it not being scary at all. To make RE6 actually scary they should make it dark, not coop for the main story and have actual good controls like Dead Space.

[lizard81288]

Crapcom says one thing and does another. Don't trust their words most of the time. Like MvC3 having an expanded story, or...well, there's like 5 BS things they said about that game alone.

[zeeshan]

Outsource it to DEAD SPACE devs :P

[JsonHenry]

Brutal? Maybe they are gonna take the Dark Souls route. Only with 100% more zombies.

[Tose]

I'm gonna throw this out there; Demon souls, was not that hard, this gens bar for difficulty has just been very low. That is all.

[videoxgamexfanboy]

I agree about demons souls. It wasnt hard at all once u pass the first real boss (damn giant knight!).

[dark-hollow]

zombies with machine guns and on motorcycles arent scary, capcom.....

[Chocoboh]

i agree thats hilarious!

[zerocrossing]

Yeah I lol'd when I saw that... It was a pitty lol :/

[HINDERIZATION]

+bub XD

[Ilikegames76]

It will only be considered scary if we all have to wear adult diaper while playing the game.

[Kurt Russell]

I miss the mansion, and raccoon city :(

[Marceles]

The later the RE, the more it's NOT scary.

Keep giving us more ammo than we'll ever need and zombie suplexes Capcom. Don't worry we'll be scared

/s

[zerocrossing]

Agreed. But this quote concerns me a little “This will be, by far, the most gruesome Resident Evil game to date,” according to our source, who commented on the condition of anonymity. “A real emphasis is being placed on making the game brutally scary.” I hope it's genuinely scary and not just obscenely violent.

Anyway, it sounds promising =)

[Shojin1]

I played RE5 through 12 times. I would like to see more open environs added to the mixture along with more suspense. Outside of that I dont have many complaints... Maybe another system "white" this time for the 360.

[Megaton]

RE5 developers said their game was "really scary" towards the end. Not a single scare was to be found in that game.

[andibandit]

I dunno, i played coop with my gf, and half the time i had to plug my ears with my fingers, especially during the chainsaw boss fight.

[Gamer1982]

Was I the only person who liked RE5? Maybe it shouldn't have been a res game but it was a really fun game especially co-op.

[otherZinc]

Also...!

CHANGE THOSE PREMITIVE @SS CONTROLS!

Move into the future, changing to the controls of Alan Wake or Splinter Cell, or anything like that!

OR, my copy will sit at the store as did RE5.

[waltyftm]

The scariest thing about Res evil 1 for me was the short supply of ammo, later games in the series practically threw bullets your way, i hope this goes back to its roots.

[Panthers]

Enemies should not drop anything. What made RE scary was the fact that you had to ration your ammo. Sometimes you had to run from enemies and search the entire mansion/police station for ammo. Now they make it so you have to kill all the enemies to proceed and you have an entire arsenal at your disposal. Its just not survival horror when you have that.

[zeeshan]

Actually, I agree with the idea of enemies dropping things. Yes, it makes things easier to find but they can simply drop things that don't turn the tide of the game in the gamer's advantage ALL the time.

See zombies were once humans. They turned into Zombies and humans carry stuff in their pockets. The dropped items could be anything like a wallet or a notebook or a cellphone. Maybe sometimes a gun with some bullets (not a lot) and some money. Think about it in terms of real world. What if you turned into a zombie while you were going out to work? You probably have your stuff with you and when people kill you, they'd find that stuff.

Having said that, I should say that I think not every zombie should drop things and if they do drop things, there shouldn't be shinny stuff in the ground. Make us search their bodies but not in a way that'd bore us or becomes repetitive.

A dropped wallet could give you money or ID of a person which could lead to story revelations. Some money would help you buy weapons from merchants, a flash light to see in the dark. They could do something like how they did it in Bioshock but keep it sutle.

For ammo, I'd rather have different weapons scattered around the city. Perhaps in different weapon shops in the now-in-ruins-city. There is so much that you can do with the plot. It's just that CAPCOM is being super lazy. The only game they delivered that delivered to the gamers was SFIV. But then they started milking it...

[DeadlyFire]

Awesome if true. RE 4, and 5 are more action then scary.

[HINDERIZATION]

RE4 scared the shit out of my during the raining portion of the game...D:

[Coffin87]

Yeah, agreed, Resi4 was scary as shit, contrary to Resi5.
I still loved Resi5 though, I loved the Splitscreen-possibility on PS3. Best Coop game ever, probably.
But not scary.

[WhiteLightning]

Apparently you now have DOUBLE the co-op

DUM DUM DUMMMMMM

Seriously though I hope it's stick to single player and cuts all this team based crap out.

Oh and I hope Capcom don't do what they've done to revealtions....add useless new characters when there is fan favorites that could be used. Knowing Capcom though your partner could be a short haired young female who was in a tatical team as their medic....yet instead of using Rebeca Chambers they would come up with a pointless character.

Hope it mixes things from RE 1-3 and RE4

The Horror elements from 1-3 for most of the game, yet have some parts like RE4 with the Merchent and treasure collecting. Oh can't beat that inventory aswell, RE5's was crap

[dark-hollow]

ugh sheva....
many times i went in trouble not because of the zombies, but of her stupid AI!

my mind like split in two,
one focusing on the zombies and the other watching her to prevent her from doing stupid things!

[Heartnet]

So your saying series now cannot introduce new characters and just stick to using the same 3 or 4?

way to kill the evolution of a series is all im saying.. then thatll literally be like playing the same game over and over

[WhiteLightning]

"So your saying series now cannot introduce new characters and just stick to using the same 3 or 4?"

Erm....no

I love when people jump to conclusions without giving any given thought to what someone has said

Have you actually played the RE games, there are so many characters in the franchise Capcom could use.

Not just 3-4...

Barry, Rebbeca, Carlos, Billy, Claire, Ada, Hunk, Sherry for example.

How come Sheva had the privilage of killing Wesker in RE5 when Jill was in the game. How about Barry aswell, they were going to include him but decided with co-op they would add Sheva. It makes not sense when you could use fan favorites who havent been used in years, plus Chris, Barry and Jill should of killed Wesker together not Sheva and Chris

[Heartnet]

Does it matter who fuking killed the guy? Surly all that matters is that hes dead which he probz isnt...

Yeh the reason it has so many characters is because it introduces new ones... and now ur complaining about it!

[DeadlyFire]

I think Barry should lead RE 6.

[MrSpace]

I hope by "reboot" they don't mean starting all over again

Hopefully it will just be rebooting the gameplay like they did in RE4.

There are so many un answered questions that we found in RE4 and still nothing.

This is why Leon, Ada and The Organization has to be in RE6, I want answers to a lot of questions.

[FEARprototype]

Brutally Scary? what is the definition of scary?
alot of games claimed to be scary but didn't live up to it so what make resident evil 6 so different?

[rezzah]

AHHHHHH ITS A POTATO ZOMBIE!!!!

Scary, best kind, creates a chilling atmosphere. it makes you question yourself, wither or not to move up ahead into the darkness to continue. yet of course you don't really have a choice if you wish to continue the game.

And then all you need are them potato zombies, throw a couple of them in there and you got yourself a GOTY.

BTW ZOmbies are way overused, the only way they can be INTERESTING at the least is if the idea in the story which created them is very unique. Which is getting harder and harder to do since everyone is milking the zombies to dryness.

[King_many_layers]

I don't think that they are overused as such, but I feel the direction of how they work is just wrong. Pacing is absolutely essential.

I'd be much more afraid to see a zombie slowly moving down a corror that's lit only by small shards of light as I grasp at the fact that I'm nearly out of ammo and know that behind me, I couldn't quite finish off a previous Zombie.

dismemberment would be nice, but I think it needs to be much more varied than dead space for example. I'd like to be able to lay down traps to take off a leg or such and have them crawland slowly breaky off said leg.

developers need to forget about action and think about tension.

[rezzah]

Tension gets you every time, with action your mind is preoccupied with killing htem and moving on. rather than stopping to realise that the thing you're killing is a dead person.

well other than the fact that they pose no threat to you when action is focused on, fear is removed and replaced with thoughts.

[Robotronfiend]

I'm hoping for more atmospheric tension and fear of the unknown type of scary and less "BOO!" type of scary. Things jumping out of a vent is scary for a second, but a fear of the unknown keeps the tension and emotion up all game long.

[Sidewinder-]

yeah, but they said resi 5 would be 'Fear you can't forget'.

more like 'Shit you can't forget.'

It's really not that hard capcom.

A two sided story. Two main characters that you play through SINGLE-PLAYER.

Add a Co-Op function to SUPPORT the singleplayer. But that can be from the perspective of two other characters.

The co-op team could be fighting it out up-top while the good scary gameplay happens underground in a secret bunker or some shit.

Stop cutting up the game into DLC, and give people what they want.

[WhiteLightning]

I most of us would rather have a longer single player then them spilting it up to focus on a co-op section.

Fact is RE is a single player game, RE5 prooved that adding co-op killed it.

Adding online for Mercenaries would be fine though since they did it for Mercenaries 3D

[phinch]

I agree with you, although resident evil zero was done very well adding another character

[andibandit]

i dunno, RE5 coop, is one of the best coop games around.

[No FanS Land]

Can I add a big fat LOL to this news?

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

The series is almost getting to the point of being milked now....and im lactose intolerant.

[Morgue]

I get diarrhea even thinking about RE5 and Shiva's wasting toilet paper like health sprays.

[Qrphe]

Almost?

It's been milked for a while, c'mon

[jagstatboy]

it's sad that it has to be a RUMOR that the game will be scary. Oh how RE has fallen.

[Ghost107]

I've enjoyed all the main RE games, some were great, others average like RE5, people were expecting something like RE4 that was going to blow them away when RE5 was released, but Capcom weren't up to the job without Mikami on board. But I think they have learned their lesson and will try harder to make RE6 a better game. They know Dead Space is serious competition now

Just don't bring back that forced partner nonsense, horror games are better when you are alone, that's the whole point really. RE5 would have been a better game if it was just Chris going solo. And most of the bosses and enemies were really poor, I don't know how they let some of those bosses into the game. They must do a far better job with 6 .

And bring back more night time gameplay in scary locations, it's not scary fighting people in the middle of the day in a Africa market place or a oil factory is it.

[Excited2play]

I fear "brutally scary" might be the understatement of the year.
The thing that really burns me up is that Capcom could make a really scary game if they wanted too, but because of them trying to cater to a wide variety of gamers outside of the survivor-horror genre.they end up with something really watered down.

I just hope they borrowed a page from dead space's book and realized they can have their cake and eat it too, meaning they could have intense action AND it could be scary as hell!!

[Pozzle]

This.

I truly believe Capcom still know how to make a good survival-horror game. They just don't want to because it won't make them as much money as an action title.
Revelations looks pretty creepy. Hell, even the rail-shooters had their fair share of scary moments. It's just a shame they aren't interested in making a PROPER survival-horror title on a console. It might not sell as well as a shooter, but its a Resident Evil game - they sell well by default. Even the rail shooters raked in millions.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

I really hope this rumor is true and the game is actually a survival horror. They have that raccoon city coop game for all the action-y scenarios they want, just bring the main series back to its roots

[mastiffchild]

I, also, don't see why they had to say anything at all. Nobody expects it to be scary, nobody sees how it CAN be(hint-playing a fame with a mate/stupid matey AI ceases to be scary and becomes funny or annoying)after the wholesale bollox of RE5.

Move finally managed to improve some game aspects (though why not change the few daft design cues from Wii RE4?)but co-op and THAT pointless MP VS mode were beyond idiocy. Playing through the campaign ONCE with a good mate could be amusing but it sure wasn't good OR scary. The only RE fame I didn't keep says it all.

[sriki007]

amnesia sets the benchmark on scaryness!!!

[Ron_Danger]

Ever since R4 the series has been more of an action game. Get rid of that garbage over the shoulder cam and go back to how it used to be. Dead space's shoulder cam worked great cause you fealt like you were Issac while you played. It's hard to get into a game like R5 when you're running around with a machine gun and you look like Jennifer Lopez. Go back to the prerendered set pieces and make it more like a horror movie the way Resident evil 1, 2, 3 & Code Veronica were.

[Pozzle]

Or at least give us the option to choose which camera setting we want. That way, nobody would be unhappy.

I loved playing the "Lost in Nightmares" DLC with the fixed camera. It was terrifying being chased by those huge monsters through the mansion, then the camera would switch angles and you could no longer see where the monster was. Really got my heart pumping!

[DigitalAnalog]

It seems like the devs are trying to put a placeholder where it knows the odds of betting are heavily against them. The lack of Shinji Mikami is what's really bothersome in this series, especially when the Las Plagas was pushing the story in a very interesting direction. You've got an awesome build up on what could've been one of the best villain in video game history and RE5 pretty much annihilated it making it the worst counter-jizz I have come across in a climax of video game history.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm doubting they won't be able to make the game "scary". The question is whether the delivery is predictable or circumstantial - not exactly the best of options available.

They should really look into the Biohazard remake - NOW THAT is how you do scary and a re-imagining atmosphere.

-End statement

[Pozzle]

"It seems like the devs are trying to put a placeholder where it knows the odds of betting are heavily against them.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. For ten years, the RE games have been building up Wesker as this amazingly clever villain who is working towards a goal - to collect all the viruses made by Umbrella in order to combine them into one great big super virus.

Then RE5 comes along and ruined that. Wesker went from a sneaky bastard who was always in control of things behind the scenes, to a generic I-WANT-TO-TAKE-OVER-THE-WORLD villain with a plan that made no sense (What was he planning on doing when he infected eveeryone? Rule the world? He would still have to deal with billions of Uroboros monsters all around the planet. And what about the people who the virus DID accept? I doubt they would be happy with Wesker being their "god").

And don't even get me started on Uroboros. How was that any better than the T-virus or G-virus? It was just as unstable, dangerous and unpredictable as the other viruses created by Umbrella. And it still had a massive weak point, just like the Tyrants and the G monster!
And we're expected to believe Wesker ditched his ten years of virus-collecting to create Uroboros instead? Bullshit!

And what about the people Wesker kidnapped? Sherry Birkin? Steve Burnside? Nosferatu? And (if RE5's files are anything to go by) Carlos Oliviera? Wesker wanted to use them for his experiments and, in some cases, resurrect the dead ones. So did he do that?

Grrr! There are so many things that could have been done with Wesker's character. But noooo Capcom turned him into a boring world-destroying villain instead.

[monkeymagik]

Tips for RESIDENT EVIL 6.

Look at Deadspace games.

copy rinse and repeat.

[MeatAbstract]

The Dead Space games aren't scary.

[King_many_layers]

Dead Space 2 certainly isn't. dead space 1 was tense at ht beginning, but Dead Space 2 just throws you into action immediately and I found that a bit strange.

I would absolutely love to play a game where nothing happens for a good 20-30 minutes or so before getting a glimpse of threat. I'd have then been prepped by the ambience and setting to truly feel a sense of horror.

[felonycarclub]

i hope capcom really brings back resident evil back to its roots and hope they finally listened to the fans, i cant wait to see a trailer

[Jack_DangerousIy]

I'm now officially pumped up for this game. I don't even care who the lead is....

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

did you forget the "/s" ?

[Jack_DangerousIy]

Glad to see you put your last bubble to good use.

[Batzi]

Hope so. That's the way it should have always been.

[spektical]

heres an idea..
add darker environments that doesnt mean pitch black, but having a sense of something evil brewing. have creepy architecture. Make ammo a bit harder to come by.

[TheMutator]

yeah yeah whatever!!!

[DARKrage34]

Resident Evil...
seis seis seis.

[SAE]

games aren't scary , never was and never will be in this generation ...

[rattletop]

what else do u expect to see in this franchise? mickey mouse? lol

[Genghis]

What movie is brutally scary...i need a comparison...are we talking hostel here? or audition? cause those movies are more brutally shocking than scary...

i don't know anything that is brutally scary (other than my back hair lol)

Edit: thought about it. I'm guessing it'll be like dead space 2. the end.

[SovereignSnaKe]

-I like to think that the Only Movie that ever Truly Scared me in Theaters was The Descent!, but then i watched this French Movie on Netflix called "Frontiers" it was French, and it made High Tension look like Marley and Me!! O_O

[Genghis]

The Frenchies are twisted people. Frontiers was crazy. But have you seen L'interieur? It's called Inside in English. That's the most brutal movie I've ever seen. ...haven't see The Serbian Movie, though...

[Horny Melon]

Ummm......Resident Evil hasn't been scary since it became a twitch shooter.

[dinkeldinkse]

Capcom is made some terrible decisions lately. Putting in a retard as Chris's partner, Chris and Wesker apparently had a bad breakup before the events of RE5, the bullshit excuse why RE4 and Code Veronica are not getting a North American disc release, and the lack of platinums for RE4 and Code Veronica(I personally don't care, but why do these games not have platinums?).

[cr33ping_death]

what, they adding Zombies with the DLC virus? one bite and you are forced to buy?

[TheMutator]

can be more scary than the new Dante?

[SuperbVillain]

I'll believe it when I see it

[MeatAbstract]

The way I could think of RE 6 being scary is to take it in another direction, perhaps even back a few steps.

Drop the all out action. You got a nice balance in RE4 but RE5 was too much. Bring in more puzzles and less enemies.

Drop the co-op. A scary experience is a lonely one. Having a partner equally equipped as you are makes you feel like 'Army of Two'.

Less ammo, maybe even weapons all together. Maybe introduce more melee combat. Remember how good it felt in the older Resident Evil and finding a shotgun? Then finding 7 shells for it and thinkng "sweet, I'm prepared...for awhile" Now you have sub machine guns, shotguns, grenades, upgrade system ect.

Basically try and capture the atmosphere the remake of RE had on the GC, easily the scariest of the series.

[banner]

Lol! I remember when I found a gun with ammo... And when the ammo count was 7 or even 5 I thought I could take anything coming my way! Lol of course I couldn't but man that feeling was great I liked the upgrades though, but not major ones just silencers so others don't here, scopes...

I would like more puzzles too and not just thrown in. I want puzzles that you have to figure out in order to progress. I'm sure many have different opinions, but IMO code Veronica was the best...

One other thing I would like to to move while shooting. I don't want a run and gun but strafing walking back and forth isn't too much is it? like I said though nothing crazy just kinda slow movements so you can reposition your self with out feeling so stiff doing so.

[NnT3291]

a combination between the original gameplay and RE4 would be cool.

[Mutley416]

i remember shating myself in the first game. Nothing better then a scary game with the sounds up and the lights down in the colder months!!! better wear my depends...lmao.

[yoshiro]

bring it on!

[GunofthePatriots]

ill believe it when it happens

[banner]

Well that's a rumor that I hope is true!

I hope I can move and shoot too.. I don't want it to be a run and gun game but c'mon, can I strafe walk back and forward while shooting?!

[net123456]

I sure hope its a Leon part. Everytime he is the main char the game always was exceptional. Resident Evil 2 was the best RE with prerendered background and RE4 the best part with realtime rendered background.

Yes RE 2 was better then RE 1. Its one of the best games ever made. Only down side are the ugly backgrounds by todays standards. Hopefully we will see a remake with new backgrounds.

[Jonah_Reese]

But can you run and shoot at the same time?

[Qrphe]

Hopefully not, it has been part of the helplessness that the first RE titles made me feel.

[boup7]

I keep trying to love RE4-5 so hard ... I love the RE1-2-3 sooo much but now with the zombies out of the way , mheee ... I don't know .

[TheCopyNinja]

Resident Evil..scary..does not compute. After RE4 & 5 being the worst RE games in the series, they're gonna have to make RE6 scary as fuck, also they gotta bring back the hard puzzles, the creepy camera angles and get rid of linear story mode.

[Cablephish]

The reason RE5 was sh*t was because nobody really gets decapitated by the chainsaw guys. Seeing Leon get his head chainsawed off was one of the freakiest things I've ever seen in any game. Next to Andross' giant noggin on the game over screen of Star Fox for SNES.

[bobtheimpaler]

Can we walk and aim now? Or will that BS affect how "intense" and "scary" the game is supposed to be?

And can we go back to zombies, having less ammo, and a story that isn't cheesy because CAPCOM thinks people doing ninja flips everywhere as people who are way too big, or are just a pair of tits on legs, snap infected peoples necks makes for good survival horror.

These games were so much better when they were more grounded. But then, they thought making the games in the syle of the movies was a good idea.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I absolutely will not believe anything said about this title till it's playable!

RE5 is bashed all the damn time and it actually p!sses me off. Yeah I didn't really care for it. But what I don't get is people hating on the game, when they PRAISE RE4. RE4 was the 1st game in the series to play the way it did, and it was met with CRITICLE ACCLAIM!. Theres the saying "don't fix what isn't broken". Well with RE4 being the series 1st to be done that way, I can see how Capcom thought they could milk that style a little more since it was new. Then they get ridiculed and trashed for sticking with what got them praise a game earlier. Capcom didn't bother to fix a UNBROKEN concept and people STILL B!TCHED.

It was lose/lose for Capcom!

Personally TRUE RE has been dead since 3. RE4 was enjoyable to play from start to finish... but it SUCKED cause IT WASN'T RE just like 5 wasn't and 5 was just 4 with new characters and different setting!.

Survival Horror games are done over with... and the ones that still claim to be... looking at you Dead Space...

Just plain and simple contain TOO MUCH ACTION!

If I could have Capcom make a new RE game I would want them to give another stab at the Outbreak series again... mainly because of where Internet Console gaming has come since its shallow crap of PS2 network days. Now Outbreak has a chance to be something bad ass!

But Resident Evil hasn't been good since 3, actually I take that back... as I find the Gamecube Remake of RE1 to be the best 1 ever to be done!

[Agent_hitman]

Bring back NEMESIS and it will be more scary than before

[KNero]

being gruesome and brutal doesn't really mean it's scary...

[shamon]

Can't wait just bring back the zombies and put us in a really fu%$ked up place maybe even a trip back to the to destroy raccoon city .

[Ingram]

Ok Capcom, I can imagine it now.

Trailer with Drum n` bass crescendo, people doing matrix backflips with a magnum in each hand and one glued to the head.
Screaming brutes with TWO chainsaws.Weee.Generic screaming giant like in RE4, only, it screams more, at you.
Enemies now don't turn to dust and give ammo, THEY ALL EXPLODE.Girl with big tits on motorcycle.Muscular protagonist reloading and kicking a door down.

And DRM, lots of DRM and DLC.

Yawn.

[Platinum_k]

...it's about damn time!

[RandomDude655]

Introduce a dang stealth mechanic already....I seriously don't know why this isn't in yet. Adds gameplay depth and reduces the amount of ammo needed. Stealth is brilliant in the survival horror games that use it well (amnesia).

[videoxgamexfanboy]

The scariest moment i ever had was in RE3. That damn nemesis busting thru the wall moaning "Stars" scared the shit outta me every time lol.

[sasuke99]

they can do it!
CAPCOM is AWESOME!!

[Drithe]

The series stopped being scary to me after RE 2.

End of Line.

[Killman]

At the very least, RE4 nailed the atmosphere. It was just so eerie. RE5 was all bright, so you pretty much had a very good chance of blatantly seeing most enemies.

thats what crapcoms been saying since re5 announcement, this game will be scary, edge of your seat action, its called advertising, from a stock owners or developers point of view thy can bs all they want and fools will still be buying it. theyre the ones laughing last while we the consumers are the ones raging about the bullshit were playing.

The pricing maybe

I don't think I will ever be excited for another resident evil game until they go back to the 3rd person mansion gameplay of the first one. With today's graphics I think it would be awesome. These over the shoulder action horror games just don't convey horror anywhere near as well as the original games. Even resident evil 4 wasn't scary, it was a good game but there's too many games where shooting things is the main selling point. The market is over saturated with games involving shooting things.

Give me limited ammo, dogs jumping through windows and wicked puzzles from the first game any day of the week.

The keyword here is "brutally scary". So Capcoms next RE will intertwine with Silent Hill? I see what you did there...

There is no scare factor in playing a lead character pumped up on steroids armed to the teeth. The original Resi games had your character vulnerable as well as in a oppressive & hostile environment. Now it's all just boring gore. : (

Visceral have set a fear standard this gen. Capcom have their work cut out if they're ever going to beat Dead Space in the scary awards and make the RE franchise survival horror, not action/adventure with some zombie like guys that drive motorbikes and shoot at you.

So no RE6 reveal hahahaha

I hope they go back to RE1 & 2 type. They're the best RE.

I can live with an RE4 style as long I'm not forced to co-op with an AI that is more handy-cap than actual help and there is no chapter select option where I can upgrade or buy weapons all the time.

I mean that just kills the meaning of the genre, horror-survival when you can do rambo all the way.

Everyone do yourself a favor. Do not buy the game at launch. Wait 8 to 11mths for a updated version with the stuff it should have had at launch and pay the same retail price for it. Capcom is only going to keep screwing customers over until their sales plummet as a result of overly greedy practice. Plus I find it very hard to believe the RE series can get back to any type of greatness after that strange and racially drive RE5 mess.

Are you sure they didn't mean "Brutally Racist?"

NO MORE ZOMBIES! I don't mind it being crazy people as in 4, but the Blade II Vampires that were in 5 were shitty. You cant make a game scary w/o zombies. When Nemesis was chasing you down the halls and bursting through walls...that was scary. Hearing a whisper say "over here" and looking around to see nothing is scary. Seeing a team member go around the corner and hear him screaming and by the time you get there, he's unrecognizable is scary. The element of WHAT THE FUCK is scary. I don't mind a town of crazies, shadow people, ghosts, or humans infected with rage, but NO MORE DAMN ZOMBIES! If you're going to make them fast...at least include wall cover and a good melee system. Make me fight for my life. DEAD SPACE FTW
