RESIDENT EVIL 6 |OT| No Trope Left
- Thread starter Nemesis_
- Start date
Damn. That's a real shame. I've gotten a little used to the camera but it's still bad. My character shouldn't cover a huge chunk of the screen.

I said the same thing in the chat - its perfect RE level design, pacing and combat.
Unfortunately the first 2 chapters I saw had utterly dreadful level design :/
I turned off - glad I tuned back in.
Am just not sure why the game am watching just now is not the game across the rest of the game :/ Its Resident Evil 4 at its finest stuff right here.

Wait for the PC version will be long though.

I don't really mind - plus it'll come to hand easier than 360 version as I'll probably tidy away the console if I get a WiiU.
The fact am thinking of getting the game is kind of surprising for me, I was sitting laughing at the Chris stuff this afternoon, some of it is - dreadful. But some of this was perfection.
I can wait.

Huh, I just realized I have never died in the demo. Are there any good deaths in the demo?

I saw my teammate die once. Had his intestines (or a piece of it) ripped out by a zombie. Pretty damn brutal.
I didn't die in the demo either, but I've seen plenty of gruesome deaths in the stream.
I got finished off by a dude with a knife straddling my prone body and slitting my throat once. Remarkably gruesome I thought.

Wow, I need to do a dying run.
Now this is what I want to hear.
Love RE5 but they totally fucked up on the nastiness and gore.

Am I the only one that thought of something dirty reading up this point...lol

The physical form of blasphemy
The deaths area kinda hidden by camera angles and vfx. There area some gruesome ones, but none that look as horrible as the Dead Space / RE 4 ones.
Why is that, by the way?

Have someone slowly slice your neck open, or being gutteted sound just as good as most of 4's in all honesty. Well to me at least.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I got stepped on in the Chris demo... haha... it was a pretty epic death. No hidden camera angle on that one...
Speaking of which I might make pancakes tomorrow morning, with raspberry topping...

I miss panther's avatar... did he get perma'd or something?

Uh oh guys I played Leon and Jake's demos again tonight and I made it my goal to just get through them as fast as possible rather than soaking in the atmosphere and I actually had substantially more fun playing that way. Camera still fucking sucks, though.

Maybe that's why there isn't any cool shit to look at most of the time.

Does anyone know whats on the first disc and the second disc for the 360 version?
Also, does anyone know how much space it will take up to install both of the discs?

My copy is on the way as of yesterday, hopefully I can confirm this for you when it arrives.
Also keen to know PS3 Install size for the OP too

That would be appreciated. Think you could PM me?
I too would be interested in impressions of the 360 version. Like, the install stuff as well as framerate/tearing issues and if its similar to the demo.

Just finished playing a few hours of the RE6 360 retail SKU.
Downloaded the Dragon's Dogma demo and the Public Demo and was a bit mixed in reaction. Though I liked the environments I was afraid the next installment would seem a bit stale.
Just need to confirm that the demos don't come close to the amount of sheer intensity and surprises the sequel has in store (and this is only a few hours into Leon's campaign).
I don't want to spoil anything, but I'll just say the zombies are very creative in their attacks and there are A TON of new variants. Also, the game can mob you with plenty of them. What's nice is that it's up to the player how many they want to take down. Pick off more and you receive more skill points and ammo. But you risk losing a chunk of health - and every zombie attack takes off a considerable amount.
The environments are AMAZING. Some of the best in terms of mood, lighting, and sound.
The new dash and dodge moves and completely necessary to take on the new zombies. It takes getting used to and can be clunky in moments, but they are effective.

How are the technical issues? Framerates, any screen tearing? Loading times?
Really not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this game. Just finished playing the demo and it was interesting. I was under the impression that Leon was supposed to play like RE4, Jake was supposed to be full on action, and Chris was a hybrid of the two.
I noticed the level design and the weapons they give you varied, so maybe that's supposed to be the big difference. Had the most fun with Jake's demo. Leon's melee is hella overpowered too. I stopped using my guns after a little while and started kicking the shit out of everyone instead.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. No clue what the skill system is supposed to be but I kept picking up skill points. Weapons were alright, but they all felt a little weak. Movement is a little goofy because the camera like to jump or change directions randomly sometimes.
Anyone else feel like Chris' campaign was basically "Japan tries to make a Call of Duty?"

You say that like it is a bad thing...

I know nothing of this game. How long is it supposed to be?
Melee attacks usually are one to two hit kills, especially in Mercenaries.

360 SKU is 30 frames per second. It seems to dip just slightly in certain outdoor locations. No screen tearing (so far). Load times are about five seconds between each switch to a new major location.
Special effects are very nice, from the glowing fire flames, to smoke, which is dynamically lit from Leon and Helena's flashlight.
Skill system lets you purchase offensive and defensive aids at the title screen. Up to three can be equipped and there are a lot to choose from (including some really expensive ones).
Also a surprise - this game is a challenge and you will die a lot.

The last thing this world needs is another Call of Duty.
No seriously, this is the list:
The Last Thing The World Needs
1. Call of Duty clones
2. World War 3
That's the list.

Reports range from 15-26 hours for all 4 campaigns. Some outlets have suggested it's a case of quantity over quality, though.
ErikB will say he likes ANYTHING no matter how self-evidently terrible it is in defense of this game.
Thanks for the impressions. I was initially turned off by the demo, but after watching the stream earlier and reading this, I may reconsider my decision to skip this game.

Do we know anything about Mercenaries or alt costumes yet?
That is what I like to hear. Thanks.
lol Famitsu...
Replace accordingly
Edit:
I'm watching the Chris campaign stream and the current stage is very Resident Evil-y... they nailed the atmosphere in this one, it's perfect.
Wow lol at the gif, thats crazy. Also glad to hear the scenarios all seem to be a good mix of gameplay styles.
EDIT: This game is going to be the Dragon's Dogma of the RE series. Bad / hectic demo with no real grounding for the player, then the retail version turns out to be a great experience.

I'm assuming the main reason was so they didn't have to censor it as much for other regions. Remember how in RE4 you could actually see your head chainsawed off? In RE5 that was gone, so capcom is probably keeping it somewhat censored without saying it is.
Im still waiting on info as well.
I've witnessed this from other users. Kinda makes you wonder.
But a Japanese take on Call of Duty!

I could have sworn I saw a TGS video of a horrible player using Ada, and getting sawed diagonally (Gears-style, less gore).
To celebrate the cheese i have watched RE Damnation.
Its highly enjoyable if you are smashed as fuck like myself.
Anyway its also known as '1001 ways to oogle Ada's private parts'. Its a weird mix of impressive CG with some poor cg. Overall though it felt like a feature film rather than a cutscene. I enjoyed how they brought back an old enemy. There is something also oddly hyping about seeing the RE 6 footage in the credits look almost as good as the movie, lulz. It should satisfy those that want their cheesy RE story fix until RE 6 comes out.
