Some new details and screenshots about Capcom's highly anticipated installment, Resident Evil 6.
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.
“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.
Sorry capcom.
You've screwed me over one too many times so I'm not going to buy your games any more.
Sounds like Capcom isn't even going to try and pretend that RE6 will be an actual survival horror game.
"Zombies will now wield axes, pipes and guns. If properly disarmed, these can be used aganist them."
"Zombies can now dash, jump and climb"
I hate how they are trying to call them Zombies to make people think that they have listened to complaints and brought back Zombies like the "good old days" when really they havent. These things arn't Zombies so I don't see why they are tyring to trick people into thinking that they are. They're basicaly an improved Las Plagas, I'm guessing the Master Plagas Sample Wesker took from Ada (need to see how he got it from her) has been fused with the T-Virus.
It's sad because people are actualy falling for this
"Players can move and shoot, run into cover and dive onto the ground and fire while on their backs."
Funny I remember an article not to long ago saying they are moving away from Action...pfffft yeah ok Capcom.
"All new Mercenaries Mode is available Day 1 for everybody, no DLC stipulations"
I hope to god they will FINALLY add differen't modes to this. I can't be the only one who wants a no Time Limit mode, I want to see how long I can last without getting those stupid clocks. They could add challenge modes aswell..."Kill 20 enemies with a Shotgun" "Disarm 10 enemies" "Don't kill any enemies for 5 minutes"
"A tramatic event occurs in Chris Redfield’s life during his mission in Lianshang, China. This completely changes his personality to a more cryptic and pessimistic Chris Redfield"
and yet his best friend, long term partner and maybe even a love interest Jill, the one who should be supporting him is no where to be seen and has been replaced by a no name character we'll probably not care about, just like Sheva, Jessica, Parker or any other character who they try and introduce instead of adding old fan favorites who havent been heard from for years...cough cough Barry/Rebbeca/Billy/Claire. Come on Capcom you do this to Chris and Jill isn't there to support him. Will we ever see a RE game where they are both together for the full game.
You would think because Bioterrorism has become such a big thing in RE that the surviving STARS members would all be involved in the BSAA and be with Chris on his mission. I know it would seem oer crowed but thats the point I;m trying to make get rid of the characters we won't care about and the add the ones we do care for. I want to know more about Barry Burton and Rebbeca, what have they been up to during RE4/5.
"Ada Wong is somehow responsible for the Tragic event in China, which sets Chris on a rampage after her."
This is what relaly bugs me...why would she do this, this isn't Adas style. She's not a cold hearted killer, she only kills the people the Organization tells her to. It's why she's saved Leon in the past when she was working for Wesker and wouldn't kill him. This Ada has to be a clone or someone else completely. Maybe Wesker did something to her when he went after the Master Plagas sample when she betrayed him.
I musn't be the only one who feels this way about Ada
Anyway I have low expectations for this, it just seems like they never took anything into account with all the complaints from RE5. I mean co-op is still in this, that says it all really.
Zombies with guns........
