You're right, how much more work could it have been to have done that fifth one as well? So lazy.

I use Fraps for recording.
Well, there's a sixth one which is completely naked for the most part, so I think that balances things out.
On a more serious note, outside of cleavages I think costume designs in RE6 is really good. There's not a single character (outside of minor NPCs that die within few minutes anyway) that actually looks bad.

Played a couple of hours. Christ, so many QTEs. It's mindless fun but I hope Revelations does a better job at giving me the RE experience I want. Also, is it me or did RE5 actually look better?

Does anyone else think RE5 looks better than this game?
Yeah, most people seem to think so. RE6 is much more inconsistent.
I've been fucking around with KB&M lately and I think I've finally got the hang of it. Feels much, much better with a good multi-button mouse. Running is still a little "why'd I slide over that?" at times, but whatevs. Counters alone are hilariously easy this way. Racking up them +10s like it ain't no thang.
Also, I'm glad to see the PC version is being put to good use. (not quite work safe)

I started playing M/K.
Upon some advice from my peers on mumble I switched to 360 pad..
Not going back to M/K

I tried KBM and while I liked the smooth aiming, the games controls don't work well as they did with RE5. Mainly because of all the melee and dodging functions.
Glad I had a controller already.

It's a bunch of wallpapers. They're actually rather nice. There's a bunch of renders I've only ever seen in the artbook before and they're all in 2560x1600.

There are a lot of QTEs but you Y'know what's funny? So many people complain about them yet they seem completely oblivious to the fact that Tomb Raider has TWICE(if not more) as many QTEs as RE6 and no one complains about it. Weird.
Laser sight or recticle?

Love it, especially the one with The ustanak battle.
Are you doing regular or no mercy?

Apologies if this has been answered before (searching couldn't find it) but is there any way to turn of the strange auto aim thing the game has going on? The pointer at the center of your crosshair keeps dancing around when you're aiming at enemies and it's really fucking annoying. I'm assuming that's some kind of auto aim.
There's a steady aim skill, is one of the cheapest ones. It doesn't do much, though.
Once you get a hold of the aiming there will be no need for it.

I think you are talking about crosshair swaying. You "turn it off" by equipping a certain skill (and leveling it up), unless you are playing No Hope Left.

Are they actually live though? Figured the patch today threw their assets in but I'm not seeing anything in mercs
edit: nvm, i see em. i guess they're no mercy exclusive
Here are the loadouts
Not a bit early yet, to see much in that department? It's only been two weeks.

Can't wait to try the L4D charcaters.
It has its own music to!

Left 4 Dead 2 cast is only enabled in No Mercy mode, and you get prompted on whether you want to use the monsters, too.
Just tried Coach, and this gets its own soundtrack from intro to match to end screen!
Also met the Witch, she has her own usual musical cue too. Pretty neat!
She behaves like a Bloodshot, except that it takes several counters to kill her.
First impression is that this is surprisingly well integrated. :0

Some quick gameplay vids

Would be nice if there was a more elegant way to toggle the l4d enemies rather than asking every time

After a solid session with the entire cast, I have to say this is all rather well integrated.
A tip of the hat to Capcom and Valve, this is a really nice extra to have.
I do hope they officially bring the characters out of No Mercy, however.
Maybe when the next round of MP Mode DLC kicks in?
Another neat bit, the Witch at least isn't just a re-skin of a Bloodshot with more health. It's hard to see with the chaos that is No Mercy.
She does have some of her L4D behavior, like running very quickly straight at the player.

I think some of the environmental textures in RE6 are a bit inconsistent in comparison but in general I think RE6's lighting and art direction is a big step up. RE5 just felt pretty bland to me.

Yeah I'm pleased with how well they integrated this as well. However the song they chose while good I can see for me personally getting tiring quick.
That's crossed my mind as well, but I'll hold out on judgment.
Tens of hours of regular Mercs; I would've sworn that muting the theme was going to be inevitable yet it's somehow not gotten old for me.

Played most of Leon's campaign co-op with a friend.
Damn this game is bad. It can be fun, but most of the time it's just irritating to play.

Just tried out all the new characters. I hadn't played No Mercy mode yet, so it was quite the shock. The amount of active enemies is unbelievable! On the other hand, it seems like supplies drop way more often, so I was rarely lacking for ammo, which is nice. Here's my opinion of the characters:
Coach: The worst of the four. His loadout would be quite good in normal Mercs, but not having any automatic weapons is a huge negative in Mercs. The shotguns in general feel pretty weak, and the slow reload times are even more dangerous when unloading an entire clip just means you've thinned the herd by half or less. Rocket Launcher and magnum is nice, though; he's great at fighting boss monsters.
Ellis: Better than I expected. I had anticipated him having the same issues as Coach, but spamming the pistol worked surprisingly well for me, and the automatic sniper rifle's penetration means you can make those five shots between reloads count. Anti-tank gun is plenty useful and has a nice clip size. He's the only character I've almost run out of ammo with, though.
Rochelle: A bit strange, but a good fit for No Mercy. Grenades EVERYWHERE. Toss a grenade, pick up two more. Enemies are always clustered up and ready for destruction. The Ammo Box 50 is a serviceable automatic weapon for clearing some space, and the magnum lets her drop dangerous targets quickly.
Nick: My personal favorite. A powerful assault rifle combined with a grenade launcher (which is loaded with explosives) with some nitrogen rounds in reserve? Brutal! I've also seen explosive and acid rounds drop from enemies, so you can restock it fairly easily. THREE whopping first-aid sprays makes you nigh-invulnerable, when combined with all the supplies the levels provide as well.

And for anyone who's interested, the Witch is a Bloodshot except with more health, a lot faster, and delivers more damage (along with the Witch's theme and sounds). The Tank is a Napad, except it delivers a lot more damage, some of the animations were made a bit more Tank-like, and more health.
