GamesRadar: "The Mercenary. So far, that's all we know about the mysterious third protagonist in Resident Evil 6. While we're fairly certain the game will be split into (at least) three parts, with Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield making up the first two, the identity of this third, scarred character has been kept under wraps.
Even though Capcom isn't saying anything yet, the trailer is full of clues, and we've compiled a list of everything we know about the Merc, and figured out who we think it might be."
GF365: "The iconic survival horror franchise Resident Evil boasts a great number of popular and memorable characters. Arguably, Leon S. Kennedy is the most popular and recognizable character aside from Jill Valentine. In this article, we'll be counting down every Resident Evil game Leon is featured in, ranked."
Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.
The modern entertainment industry has witnessed the rise of the Resident Evil franchise as one of its most renowned and celebrated multimedia phenomena. With numerous video games released across multiple platforms, it can be daunting for newcomers to determine where to commence their journey. So here is every main mainline Resident Evil Games ranked.
In preparation for the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake, let’s take the liberty to rank each of the mainline story instalments, providing players with a fundamental comprehension of the Resident Evil universe.
A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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
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.
It's Johnny Bravo.
Probably some new useless character who we will play and not give a crap about
All the characters in the RE universe that we havent seen for ages and they keep making new characters....honestly, whats the point
Look at revealtions for example, you have Chris and Jill...who again aren't together as partners for the game AGAIN, each have their own partner, Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. Those two characters are also part of the BSAA, why is it that those two characters couldn't of been Barry Burton and Rebbeca chambers, they were both in S.T.A.R.S like Chris and Jill, both fan favorites and they were both involved in the mansion inccident which they both survived so it's not like it wouldn't make sense them joining Chris and Jill in a newley created Anti Bioterrorist group...in fact it would make perfect sense.
Wasted opportunity to be honest....and now we have this guy, who's melee moves make the game look like an anime show. I mean Ashley is his partner, why couldn't they of given Ashley to Leon and stick the new girl with Leon with him.
The game should of just featured Leon and Ashley. At least then Ashley would of been more useful since it looks like she's learnt a thing or two about fighting BOWs. Anyway despite what people said she wasn't that bad in RE4, least she didn't get in the way like Sheva.
I already hate him because he is super human. Keep the classic gameplay and keep that anime crap out!
weskers son.
Idk but I'm not pleased with the fact that he's another starkiller lookalike.
Couldn't they have given him a full head of slicked back hair? come on, you're Japan you know how to make in game hair look good.
And if he is Wesker's son, wouldn't that kind of hairstyle be more....fitting, maybe to raise some flags? An homage? something?
