Resident Evil 6 has 6-player co-op

Resident Evil 6's co-op mode will include support for up to six players, the game's Xbox.com product page has revealed.

[PamPoovey]

Well done Capcom you have now reached Square Enix's ignorance and are now on the same level of how to ignore your fanbase and the complaints they voice.

We didn't...sorry seems like I'm speaking for everyone....I'll rephrase that, the majority of us didn't want co-op, it killed the horror and it was forced. Ruining what made RE 1-4 so good.

Seriously I don't understand how Capcom works, it's like they just don't give a crap about their fans. They did the same with dmc. Maybe thats why they've announced this so late, so people don't have time to dwell much on the fact that they don't care about us RE fans, the ones who got the franchise where it is is today and care more about it's main target audience now....the COD crowd. When dmc was announced a lot of people were exicted then after some time people got past the brand name and thought "hang on something is wrong here" and have started standing up for wht they believe in, I hope people wake up and get over the fact it's Resident Evil so they can see this is turning to crap the more is known about it.

"Hey Capcom we don't want co-op or a crappy AI partner in the next RE"

"Lets add triple the co-op in RE6 guys.....co-op means more money and money is more important then our crappy fans"

Thanks Capcom....<sigh>

[-Mika-]

Um obviously the majority of you did because RE5 was the best selling game in the series. The co-op in that game made the game appeal to alot of people and it made the series gain alot of new fans.

The Cod crowd you hate so much is saving the gaming industry. The last time i check, games made strictly for core gamers don't sell 5million copies or more. Like i said in another post. If you want game companies to cater to you. Buy hardcore games. Let companies know that they can depend on you to help them gain a profit and be more risky.

[PamPoovey]

.....<sigh>

<Ahem> Lets begin shall we

"Um obviously the majority of you did because RE5 was the best selling game in the series."

It was also the only RE title to release across two platforms at the same time, plus lets add to the fact that the game before that, RE4, was absolutely amazing...raising peoples expectations, leading to more sales.

"The co-op in that game made the game appeal to alot of people and it made the series gain alot of new fans"

Please don't lie...the co-op was the most talked about thing about the game. It was so forced and felt tacked on so Capcom could gain more money appealing to a bigger audience while forgetting about their already established fanbase they already had. The new fans were more likely the "COD" crowd Capcom keep mentioning and thats why the decided to take this new route.

"The Cod crowd you hate so much is saving the gaming industry. The last time i check, games made strictly for core gamers don't sell 5million copies or more"

Saving the industry.....more like killing it. Because of COD all developers care about is reaching CODs sale numbers and will do anything they can to do that INCLUDING hurting their own franchise to do that. It has influenced developers into making their games more COD like which steers the game away from it's roots. It's made it so if a good game dosen't get so many units sold then it's a failure.

Seriously, I get people defending a company but don't come out with so much rubbish.

[Pozzle]

Of course Resident Evil 5 was the best-seller in the series. It got a ridiculous amount of advertisement, it appeared on two consoles and PC, and it has the famous "Resident Evil" brand that practically every gamer has heard about. It was guaranteed to sell well, regardless of whether or not it was a good game or whether or not it had co-op.

[Pintheshadows]

The gaming industry didn't need saving. All COD did was bring it to the mainstream in a huge way. Plus COD is actually harming the imagination the industry once held dear. Think of all the modern war FPS' that have emerged since 4. They want so badly to get in on the cashflow originality goes flying out the window and meets pavement/sidewalk at high velocity.

I know risk is dangerous right now but a little originality in story and setting wouldn't go amiss.

[honkyjesus]

Some don't like your answer, but it is the truth.

[honkyjesus]

Pozzle...

RE4 was on three consoles.

[NoobSessions]

Am I the only one who thinks the logo looks like a giraffe getting a BJ?

[Pozzle]

"RE4 was on three consoles."

True. And up until RE5's release, RE4 was the highest-selling Resident Evil title of all time. In fact, every Resident Evil game in the main series has sold really well; each game selling well over 3 million copies worldwide.

My point was that the reason RE5 is the highest selling in the series is because the fanbase is growing with each game that is released. People don't buy RE games for their co-op. They buy RE games based on hype, brilliant marketing and a brand name that has been well-known for a decade. RE5 would have sold well regardless of whether it was a co-op game or not.

[zero_cool]

Ahem!..5 million & over...

MGS4 - 5,510,000

GT5 - 7,300,000

Uncharted 2 - 5,320,000

Uncharted 3 - 5,200,000

Shy of 5 million...

God of War III - 4,290,000

Resistance - 4,010,000

Uncharted - 4,020,000

LittleBigPlanet - 4,750,000

Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!

[ABizzel1]

First off no one knows if it's single player co-op or a separate campaign so just shut up until they announce.

I for one liked Co-op in Resident Evil 5, it allowed me to get people to play the and buy the game who normally wouldn't. That's the power of co-op if you can bring a friend along there's a good chance they'll buy it just to play with you.

[erathaol]

I just vomited

[slayorofgods]

Talk about stupid. Not just one annoying co-op player to get in my way but 5 to turn this in to a free for all chaotic mess.

The dream this generation; too mooch off of COD's success instead of recapturing the glory of say Resident Evil 1 which also had success.

[sikbeta]

If they make it co-op split-screen or s***, I'll be all over it, I don't give a s*** about online co-op, RE5 co-op was lame imo

[dark-hollow]

Lets be fair, what sucked about RE5 was not the co-op.

[RedDead]

I'd prefer it without Co op though. 6 player co op? What? This can't be true...unless it means mercenaries mode or something. I don't want RE to be co op campaign, i'd like single player for the main story.

Also, again in that article abotu Cod...he's talking about ORC. It's stated clearly in the article: http://www.computerandvideo...
Yeah? "He added of Operation Raccoon City: "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."

Pretty clearly wants cod fans to be attracted to ORC. Res 6 is a different story

Edit--YOu are right STK, the co op was good, but...I want some more horror, and I feel co op will only hinder that area. Capcom said RE6 will have alot of things from old school RE too, which means Horror. I just hope they ain't lying

[STK026]

I loved the co-op in RE5, probably still one of the best co-op experience this generation (haven't tried playing with the AI though; so I can't judge that).

[scofios]

dark-hollow,
Is right the problem with re5 wasn't the co-op ,but the fact that the game wasn't scary , it was set during the day who the f**k get scared during the day , no save room ,no scary enemies.

[Tdmd]

@dark-hollow

True, but it didn't help it's case either.

[fossilfern]

I had to play the game in Co-op because Sheva was USELESS! I would of preferred the game without Co-op but it was still not a great RE game

[vortis]

I agree. It was basically a run-and-gun, room-and-spawn action shooter.

The complaints about co-op are misaimed. People should be getting on Capcom about IMPROVING the co-op not removing it.

Have we forgotten that Killing Floor is still a scary game even with its 6-15 player co-op? It's the atmosphere, realism and gunplay that makes it scary.

There were a ton of things missing from RE5 that would have made it scarier (i.e,. being at night more, realtime physics, ragdoll physics, sneaky zombies, bosses who were threatening and not stationary, etc., etc., etc.)

Even when I played RE5 by myself (which was rare because it was boring) the game lacked serious atmosphere to be taken seriously as a horror game, with or without co-op.

[SephirothX21]

The co-op in Res 5 was very fun at times and Res 5 was a grat game imo but it just didn't feel like a Res game. Though I don't see what PamPoovey is complaining about here. The 6 person co-op is not for the campaign but an extra feature. Therefore, it is a good addition as I think co-op in horror games has a lot of potential if separated from the single player campaign and done right. Some people just love to hate. Maybe its better to wait until the game releases and then pass judgement?

[GraveLord]

Resident Evil 5 sold more than Resident Evil 4.
People vote with their wallets. The action genre has a much wider appeal than just plain horror. But looking at the RE 6 trailer it looks like it'll have both. Go watch it again.

[Tdmd]

@PamPoovey
Really well said - bubbles!

"Saving the industry.....more like killing it. Because of COD all developers care about is reaching CODs sale numbers and will do anything they can to do that INCLUDING hurting their own franchise to do that."

Not to mention this on going mentality that every game must have multiplayer probably is a direct result of the new generation of gamers: the COD crowd...

@-Mika-
"The Cod crowd you hate so much is saving the gaming industry."

Not entirely sure if this wasN'T sarcasm... Whatever, I'll just assume it was.

[tigertron]

I both agree and disagree. I agree with Capcom ignoring its fanbase like Square-Enix etc etc, but I have to admit I did like RE5's co-op. Sheva really wasn't that bad as a partner and she did help me out on quite a few occassions. I also love playing Lost in Nightmares online. It may take fear out but it was a good system.

RE5 is an excellent game, if you're just going to judge it by its gameplay and graphics; but co-op isn't the reason why it got all the hate. It got hate because it was a copy and paste job from RE5, its story wasn't terribly good and it had no horror in it whatsoever. Guys driving on bikes shooting at you and having a cover system fire fight with enemy soldiers is NOT scary. Dead Space to me has replaced Resi as the definitive survival horror franchise now, but I'm still a Resi fan. I still love playing the games (RE5 not so much) and reading books etc.

That said, 6 player co-op sounds ridiculous considering many just want a single player experience. I'm not personally bothered about a 2 player co-op because it did work well, but I wouldn't be unhappy if Resident Evil became single player again (which I'd rather it did).

RE6's trailer started off well. Leon shooting zombies (what appears to be moving whilst walking), new locations etc. Then it went downhill and became some sort of Michael Bay film trailer with explosions and the cover system...

[DigitalAnalog]

I would guarantee RE5 would turn out to be a completely different story utilizing both the G-virus and the Las Plagas to create something unique that would not only entertaining but living up to the expectations of hardcore RE fans.

To prove my further confidence, I'm surprised nobody even mentions of Zero. That was the BEST method of a single player utilizing dual-character mechanic that has NEVER been attempted till now.

[LastDance]

name one game with better co-op than RE5? Tacked on? your delirious.

[Horny]

Gears 1-3 had better co op.

[cemelc]

Uncharted 2 and 3 and had single player too.

[LastDance]

lol gears of war. talk about token. In RE you actually NEED each other.

[StanSmith]

There was no horror in RE4. It was just like RE5 without the coop. Sorry but if you think RE5 started to move away from Horror then you need to replay 4 again. RE4 was not scary at all yet people loved it's new direction.

It seems to me that people are just looking for things to bitch about. RE5 was a good game. It's Co-op was perfect. After Revelations this week, i can't wait to play RE6.

[Prototype]

If 6 ends up being like RE5, this will be the last RE I'll ever play that comes out; I know there's a lot of fans who liked 5 but the scare factor was gone from the co-op.

Looks like I'll wait and see how "The last of us" turns out for my survivor-horror fix.

[Styxoric]

You just summed up everything i was about to say.

[StraightPath]

wooow that is going to be EPIC

[kaveti6616]

"We didn't...sorry seems like I'm speaking for everyone....I'll rephrase that, the majority of us didn't want co-op"

Still wrong. You're not speaking for anyone, and you're not saying anything the majority is saying. You're speaking for yourself, and for yourself only. Don't pretend like you know what the majority of people want, or even the minority.

You joined five days ago and you're talking like you've been here forever. Hmmm.

[PamPoovey]

When talking about the "majority" of something your talking about the bigger crowd of people that share the same belief of the subject your talking about....and since there are a lot of gamers in this world who are more then likely to agree with me on the issue at hand thats why I said majority. If you aim what you've said a person or a site then you really are trying to speak for everyone.

I joined five days ago....so, how am I talking like I've been here forever it's not like I'm talking about the site in general in the past tense.

I can say this though, looking throughout your comment history it seems all you ever do on here is put peoples ideas down is a nasty "I know more then you do" attitude. I guess your one of these people who get really mad when someone dosen't share the same opinion as you. Keep that up and you'll be down to one bubble in no time.

Anyway if there was no majoirty I guess I wouldn't of been bubbled up for, not just one but two "Well Said" comments...

Here have a chill out Bear Claw....they're tasty.

[Trainz]

Now when I feel the need to sh*t my pants I will just hug one of my buddies :)
Always thinking ahead capcom, I love you guys x

[r21]

why would you need to shit in your pants? and why would you hug someone when you need to shit? ':I

[Tdmd]

"why would you hug someone when you need to shit?"

Hmm, never tried that. Hope to keep it this way 'till I die...!

[Solid_Malone]

dont mind Trainz hes always writing crazy comments. He can be pretty hilarious with the stuff he comes out with but most of the time its pretty freaky :/

[D3mons0ul]

Because scary things make you crap yourself? and with co-op you would actually have some "buddies" to share the fear with.

That's my guess.

[Pintheshadows]

So what's the point of Operation Raccoon City then?

Also, what pozzle said. Give us a true singleplayer like in 4 and keep the co-op separate. I think if they get the pacing right this could be good but if it's pure action i'll be a little bit disappointed. I'd like some suspense and quiet moments laced with some jumps and atmosphere. Dead Space style I guess. At least then they'll be somewhat of a horror element. Something which was distinctly lacking in 5.

[NellyNel_7_1_3]

Agree bubble for this comment...

[Tdmd]

The funny thing is that "Dead Space style" is what RE style used to be. And now, for inspiration, RE should look at DS - which was inspired by RE.
It's the old cicle of originality, huh? Nothing is created, everything is copied. lol

[jrbeerman11]

is it possible that we are overreacting and this is just news about Resident evils mercenaries mode?

Least I really hope so. If you absolutely have to have a co op mode, then do what Mass Effect is doing and don't touch the Main Campaign with Co-op.

I find it hard to believe a 6 player co op is on main campaign.

[Pozzle]

I'm ok with a co-op mode...I just hope it isn't forced onto single-player mode too.

[thedude44]

coop is cool BUT...

i want that single player dark/evil horror feeling i got in the ps1, ps2, gamecube days...

[dredgewalker]

Agreed, having someone else playing with you reduces the element of fear. I still remember being scared playing Silent Hill with the lights off. RE4 was a real evolution of the series that Capcom should have refined more on the sequels.

[jrbeerman11]

Co-op and being scary is entirely impossible, but RE5 definitely wasnt it, and I really dont think Resident 6 would be any different if it was still in campaign.

Co op would be great if you were constantly separated and only heard things going on with teammate at distance, maybe even implement a way to cut mic at certain spots to make you feel more alone.

Or if the only time you came in contact with co op is huge bosses, or only seeing through walls you cannot get through while sharing weapons and ammo.

horror by constant and distant separation could work, but I doubt Re6 would pull it off, maybe a new series or indy game could.

Like i could imagine you co-op partner telling you what hes seeing and likewise, then all of a sudden something jumps at him and you hear a scream and then his mic cut off while hearing a ruckus in the in game sounds. could be cool.

[AHall88]

I don't understand all the hate that RE5 gets. It was a great co-op game, my buddy and me played the crap out of it and we're both old school RE fans.
You want old school RE? Go play old school RE.
For the record I've liked every main RE release yet, with RE2 and Code Veronica being my two favorites.

Anyway.
I was hoping Claire would be in the next RE game. :( Oh well.

[chadachada123]

I don't think you understand.

What many of us want is Resident Evil 4, but with zombies, and with even more "survival horror," and with less "steroids and action."

Co-op can be fun, if it's optional, but when your only other option besides Co-op is an AI character that will routinely run into the gunfire of enemies, it gets pretty freaking old pretty freaking fast.

On top of this, RE5 wasn't scary. RE4 was fantastic. Give us more of RE4, Campcom.

[kaveti6616]

I don't think you understand, either. When you want to voice your opinion, just say, "I want this" or "I don't want that." That's it. Don't pretend like you know what everyone wants, or even what most people want. If your very first sentence is a fallacy, why do you expect to retain any credibility?

Capcom is a studio filled with creative people who have their own ideas. Why do people feel like they're entitled to control someone else's intellectual property? Resident Evil doesn't belong to you. I don't care if you've purchased every single Resident Evil game, if you sleep in a Resident Evil shirt, or if you heat up pizza bagels with the pepperoni bits shaped to look like zombies.

It doesn't belong to you. Buy the game or don't. You have every right to complain, but your complaints should never include any mention of "The fans didn't want this, Capcom."

[cjflora]

The hate from RE5 is that ironically many gamers want the nostalgic feeling of what they've liked before. I've really noticed in the last few years that most people who complain about a game are often going on about how things USED to be one way or the other.

In an industry that is always evolving, there sure are a lot of gamers who don't like change. Would I have preferred a scarier RE5 than it was? Hell yes. Did I not enjoy RE5? No, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Especially since my wife and I have played every RE game to date, and for the first time we could actually play it together.

Everything evolves. If RE5 hadn't tried to change things up a bit, I would bet there would have still been people complaining about how the franchise didn't try to add anything new. Was RE5 the best example of trying to add something new? Some think yes, others think no. But as usual, the unhappy people are always the loudest.

[StifflerK]

Well said + bubbles.

I totally agree , esp with the 'overly vocal minority of haters' - seems to be a growing trend these days....

I'm currently replaying Res Evil 5 + with my brother , + we're having a great time!

[YodaCracker]

It appears to me that most of the people who really enjoyed Resident Evil 5 had a dedicated partner to play with; cjflora and his wife, StifflerK and his brother, and so on. I believe those who were stuck with the AI partner or only played online with randoms, facing a lack of communication, enjoyed the game considerably less. Although, of course, we can pretty much all agree the game needed more horror like earlier entries in the series.

[jrbeerman11]

I agree that no matter what a game company does it will find tons of criticism. But when it comes to Resident Evil 5, its not the "advancement" of the series that is getting the vocal minority loud about it. In fact the most innovation of any Resident Evil was 4 and that's one of the most celebrated in the series.

All Resident evil did in 5 was add Co-op, made it outside for great portions with bright sunny skies, and take away a lot of the tension that RE4 was so good at. Resident Evil is a horror series and they took away horror instead of adding to it.

So while I completely agree with you that haters are gonna hate, and I did enjoy RE5, I completely understand why people think its one of the worst in series, because the core of the game was taken away.

People can accept innovation proven by RE4, just dont take the core experience away. I call it taking the jump button away from mario.

[cjflora]

Yea, but what if Mario had a GUN??? Wouldn't that be way cooler?? You wouldn't need to jump if he could shoot goombas. What about platforming? Well, easy. The gun has a Bionic Commando style grappling hook to get around. YES!?!?!

/s

[jrbeerman11]

haha that would be awesome, well said cjflora. looks like i need a better analogy lol.

[bobrea]

Oh boy. This isn't going to make people happy.

[unknownhero1123]

that is an understatement my friend. they are going to be P'Oed with good reason. I never played with a human co-op partner so i was stuck with an AI controlled sheva. God how I enjoy watching wesker kill her over and over again dispite getting a gameover. why? because the AI was aweful! I do not know how RE6 is going to fit in 6 player co-op but that had better be a mode outside of storyline and it had better not effect the fear factor.

[Akth8r]

Yeah, Capcom has been F*cking around lately. One of the worst publishers this gen, they need to fix up if they want to mantain their Fanbase.

It would be funny if they Aim for the COD fans and end up gaining none while losing fans (guaranted sales). Would be a nice slap to the face wake up call.

[Reborn]

So far, it says it has a co-op mode. If it has a SP campaign, I think that would keep the divided happy.

Well, I'll look out for more on it.

[LightSamus]

If it's campaign based, urgh. If it's an add-on, could be interesting.

[impulse135]

CO-OP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO UR SAYING I CAN PLAY RE6 WITH UP TO 6 PLAYERS I DONT FREAKING BELIEVE IT. CO-OP RULESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[VTKC]

6 players?! TDM? Shouldnt they of left this in the up coming Raccoon City game?

[SKUD]

Only thing missing now is the perks from COD. Russian zombie DLC inbound.

[PopRocks359]

CoD's not the only game with coop.

[cjflora]

RE6 would have human mode. "OMG!!!! There are normal everyday humans trying to get in and kill us!"

[gigreen]

They better make it an option to play solo, I don't want stupid npcs who steal my ammo ruining the experience.

[Lord_Sloth]

Everybody's bitching and nobody even knows if it's forced. Judging from the trailer, it's most likely drop in so if you wish to play it alone, you can. Quit complaining.

[unknownhero1123]

there still the AI problem, if they fixed that then I'm happy. This game honestly doesn't need co-op at all.

[Lord_Sloth]

Drop in co-op doesn't mean there will be an AI with you at all times, dude. Drop in Co-Op is like what Dead Rising 2 has. No partners of any kind unless another player has dropped in. DR2 got praised for the option to play alone and Capcom's not quite AS dumb as every1 likes to think.

[TacoTaru]

This is great. Another online co-op action shooter with zombies. Another game I don't need to buy because I've played something just like it already.

I swear I used to buy 3 or 4 games a month and they were all different. Now there are only action/shooters and sometimes platformers. I don't need to buy any of them. No matter what genre it is, it turns out to be mostly action/shooter. Saves me lot's of $ but gaming is becoming boring.

[Ser]

Oh, nice. There goes the scare factor.

Good job, Capcom.

[Legionaire2005]

Im sure the 6 players is for a different game mode. Relax have confidence in Capcom this time they will deliver!!! I reserved my copy already too.

[TopDudeMan]

I think 2 player was enough...

[Plagasx]

Please Capcom, I beg you, PLEASE do NOT fuck this up!

Is a Single Player ONLY game too fucking hard to ask???

Give us the game your TRUE fans WANT!

[Der_Kommandant]

And they say it's scary?????????

[-MD-]

Sigh...

[Legionaire2005]

This is the year of Resident Evil!!! Resident Evil Revelation, Operation Raccoon City, and 6 and cuff cuff stupid movie Retribution that brought back Michelle Rodriguez after they killed her character off in the first one!!!! Might as well bring back Mike Epps while they are at it!!! The games will do better than the movie that just have nothing to do with the series. Silent Hill 2 the movie will blow the water out of Retribution. Fans should boycott the movie it barely had anything to do with zombies and I didn't see zombies in the trailer!!!

[josh14399]

If I wanted a zombie co-op game I'd play l4d. I think I will give this game a miss.

[TheDivine]

Im sure its a co-op mode like hoard or resistance 2. Watch the trailer its a single player campaign judging from the three guys you play as. Im fine with extra modes and since when do people bitch about something extra? Tell them to remove it and sell you only the campaign for 60 bucks, speak up now dont be shy.

Revelations has a 2 player mode on top of the campaign and both seem to be awesome. Wait until we know more before you all blow your gaskets.

[Psychonaughty]

Am I the only one who wants RE to return to it's roots and be set in a mansion again?! Because it is called "Resident" Evil after all and as much as it tries to be Gears of War it never will be a competent action shooter. Bring back the epic, moody and explorable mansion now!!

[rhap]

I don't want to be a prick, but the original name of the series is Bio Hazard and, well, it deals with bio hazards.

Still, I'm with you when it comes to return to it's roots.

[jaymart2k]

Why RE5 Failed

5-6 hrs campaign, to much day light, zombies or whatever you call them with guns,less puzzles, bad inventory system.

Why RE4 was better

12-13 hr campaign, better monsters,better lead character,better level design,better story,merchant seller

Ya just about everything that RE4 did was better.

[Leonesaurus]

Why do people assume that when they say 6 player co-op they are referring to the single player?

Did anyone think for a second that what they could be hinting at (if this article is giving us the truth of the matter here) that we can unlock a new mode after beating the main game other than Mercenaries.

I remember the team that worked on RE 5 talked about doing a S.T.A.R.S. versus zombies mode. I always mention this idea at least once every time I get on RE 5 versus with my friend and socialize with other RE fans during slayer sessions.

Imagine instead of versing against other people, 4 players (in this case 6) work together to take down the B.O.W.s and zombies with your friends and just have a good time after the game is finished.

1) You don't shove co-op into the single player, you make it optional or side content. In this case, it's the zombie/BO.W. horde mode idea.

2) It's an awesome unlockable mode alongside the series favorite, The Mercenaries.

That's my 2 cents folks...
_____________________________ _______________________________

And for the record, I fucking loved RE 5's gameplay. I was disgusted with how they handled and ended the story and characters for the most part (especially with how they handled my favorites, Chris and Jill) but I loved everything else about it.

Definitely one of the most fun in the series with it's co-op and online Mercenaries gameplay was awesome. Along with RE Remake, RE: Outbreak Files #1/2, and RE 4 being right up there with it in my book.

[Plagasx]

Lol, dude have you ever heard of RE:Operation Raccoon City...Which is EXACTLY the kind of game you just described.

It's releasing this year.

[Leonesaurus]

That may be true, but Operation Raccoon City doesn't run on the same engine, use the same control scheme, nor set in the same world as RE 6 and the other main series games like RE 4 and RE 5.

It's a spin off. Nothing to get too excited about compared to how amazing RE 5 Mercenaries can be on the official capcom japan engine that RE has been running on.

Not only that, but Operation Raccoon City is more of a versus multiplayer game overall, U.S.S. versus Special Forces, with B.O.W.s in the middle giving you trouble. The EXACT same set up RE 5 versus had, which is the exact thing I wanted to not get for the next main game, which is RE 6.

Watch, I really wouldn't be surprised that turns out to be what this is for. I'm pretty convinced that is what it is, but you never know.

[Titanz]

I had a friend to play with, so it wasn't a burden to play 2 player co-op (there's even an online mode for it!).

I always wanted Resident Evil to turn into a F2P MMO, with the ability to travel to different areas, and cleanse the infected, one hollow point at a time. :P

If you're looking for a good single-player Resident Evil experience, then I suggest you try Revelations for the 3DS.

[rizzo-rizzo]

Ahh nuu.. Capcom is now just another fabricated company. As long as they're making money from the hordes of the mindless, the don't care what the most rational gamer thinks.

so according to you, the most rational gamer on this post seems to think they are the true fan while other people arent?

1. If they are rational, did they ever think that they alone can help capcom prosper or help the IPs grow even more?

2. Are they representing the majority of gamers?

3. None of them haven't seen anything about the game beside a trailer, and they already crying?

Where are the rational thinker u were talking about?

Relax people, it's most likely The Mercenaries game mode or Chris' campaign, I didn't see five other characters fighting zombies in the one part of the trailer when Leon dives and turns 180 degrees to shoot the zombies. And in the new guy's campaign (Presumably Alex Wesker), it's only him and Ashley and Ashley wasn't armed or capable of smacking zombies around with super human strength like Alex.

I think I'm gona skip co-op mode...

[devilhunterx]

Why didnt any one bitch about the L4D co-op? Was that game any less scary? Or how about those horror movies?

[SamPao]

RE5 was scary, at least for me, atmosphere killed me! I dont know what you guys played :/ but it was scary as hell!

[rhap]

Oh, a new Left 4 Dead game?

[disrupt3r]

Is it me or does the logo look like a woman giving a giraffe a head job?

[TVippy]

It's your sick mind, LOL.

[ZILLA]

for main story is the only way to go!when leon in 4 got left behind from the cops and was alone...now THAT was scary stuff.online sure 6 player,it sounds really fun.

[Old McGroin]

6 player Mercenaries Mode would be cool; 6 player campaign (which I seriously doubt it is) would be crap; wouldn't worry about it, if it is 6 player campaign I'll eat my hat.

[Hozi]

People complain about not getting Co Op all the time and when a company decides to be innovative, the fans wanna blow them down right away. Honestly, I stopped getting scared after Resident Evil 4. The series problem wasn't the Co-op. I personally like the fact that I can bring a partner with me on this journey. My girlfriend and I love love to play RE5 together at night. So just because it doesn't work for you don't mean you still can't play by yourself.

[Reckless718]

i have that PlayStation 3D Display so it would be nice if i can use that

[TVippy]

Fuck that. I was hoping for at least 20-player coop. You know, like in Serious Sam.

[pcz]

in the original resident evil, death was literally one room away.. If you didn't use ammo extremely wisely, it could be the death of you.

now you can run around spraying your uzi until your hearts content, and this 6 player co-op news shows you will have an army of people on your side helping you.

not much survival or horror in that.

i dont know what this game is, but this game is not resident evil

[Old McGroin]

Correct, it's not Resident Evil, it's Resident Evil 6.

[zero_cool]

Capcom needs to unify both resident evil formula's strengths into an efficient & intelligent manner to please both resident fanbase.

P.S..Call it an "action survival horror"

Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!

[WooHooAlex]

NOOOOOOOOOO!
If there is co-op of any kind in the main story, consider me completely uninterested in this game.

Its survival horror. I want zombies, dim lighting, intense music, ammo shortages, ect... Having a friend play through with you completely takes the sense of horror away.

C'mon Capcom, just reboot the franchise and do it right!

[Zephol]

Six players?? OMG! WTF! nice capcom!

[jaymart2k]

I rather have Resident Evil Outbreak 3 or Outbreak HD Collection then Resident Evil Socom that comes out in March.

Minus the long load times of course.

That game relied on puzzle solving that was random at times. It was also the last creepy RE game & it was fun.

Also a hardcore mode added that mutes mics would be nice.

Come on Capcom I want it,plz :)

RE4 came out after & since then it's lost it's scare.

[Braid]

Six players? Then this can't be a single player co-op.

Think about it, at no point in the campaign would the path of six different protagonists cross. I'd understand if it was two or three players at max but no, you literally can not play the single player with six people. How many zombies would there be in a single screen to be slayed by six individual players? How about cutscenes, would all of the players appear in cutscenes as well?

I'm betting that the game will have a seperate co-op mode. This is not an arcade beat-em up, six players is almost impossible for a story-driven campaign unless you throw your logic out of window.

[yokokoroma]

This ISN'T for the main story mode, it's impossible for 6 players to play offline ([splitscreen and or system link] definitely) and online simultaneously and be consistent with each other (i.e. game progression) as each players individual skills will vary! Therefore the likelihood that the players will meet at designated parts in the game (i.e. Leon meeting Clarie in RPD on the 2nd floor) triggering a cutscene are impossible! It's most likely mercenaries mode or a brand new mode altogether!

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Just when I thought they couldn't take this series further from its roots... wtf is this s#!t... think it's time for me to part from this franchise for good!

[gtxgamer2]

who would the 6 characters be?!

[D0ffy]

I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed Resident Evil 5. Solid game and fun. Don't really know where all the hate comes from.

[WooHooAlex]

I really enjoyed RE5, the problem I had with it was that it was an action game first, it had no horror elements in it whatsoever. It was a good game, just not a good Resident Evil game.

[Rob946]

It looked like there was 6 playable characters in the trailer, but im expecting 3 story arcs, 2 player each.

[blackhammer]

I think I'd rather play Dead Island or Left 4 Dead.

Thanks but no thanks, Capcom.

[D3mons0ul]

As long as it doesn't interfere with the single player campaign/s I don't mind it.

[parasit3]

I'm the only excited about the 6 player co-op o_0. And it seems I'm of the few who actually love multiplayer games.

[FlashBack]

Multiplayer doesn't go well with horror. Imagine Amnesia with multiplayer, "yaay fun",that's not what your supposed to feel while playing it. Should be "I'm screwed", or "I bet there's a monster behind my monitor"

[FlashBack]

*playing coop RE6 in an abandoned hospital , pretty good atmosphere when:
"Hey Jonny come here to the kitchen!"
"Guys, I need to shit, back in a sec"
"haha my dog just farted, you need to hear that, hey jiggy do that again come on fart!"
"I'm sexy and i know it, du du du du"
"HOLY F*CK I WAS ON MY COMPUTER AND THEN MY DAD SAID HEY WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING IN FOURCHIN AND I SAID F*CK YOU DAD AND HE PUNCHED A WALL AND IT BROKE SO I THREW MY COMPUTER AT HIM BUT I MISSED AND HIT MY MOM AND MY SISTER WAS ALL LIKE WHAT THE F*CK SCRUFFY AND THEN I REALIZED I WAS A DOG SO I TOOK A SHIT ON THE FLOOR AND IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER!"

yes, i am totally sure I will be scared as hell

[TheCopyNinja]

6 player co-op? 2 player co-op was bad enough. My interest for RE6 is low as hell now.
