From this Australian site called Game Lane.
I'm in Australia however, so I don't know how it'll go for international customers. I also had a $1.50 discount code, so that's how I got it to $26
Does this count as a pre-order?

Pre-loaded here! Sounds like all of the fixes and improvements will alleviate many of the problems people had with the game. Looking forward to digging into it tonight.

Isn't the bonus copy of RE5 a Steam exclusive offer? That was the case unless GMG added RE5 to their deal recently.

I'm pretty sure getting RE5 only applies if you buy it on Steam.

Hey, so any idea when were supposed to get pre-order stuff? I pre-ordered off steam last night if that makes any difference.

Are they kidding?
Coach = Chris
Nick = Leon
Ellis = Piers
Rochelle = Sherry
The Witch = Bloodshot
Tank = Napad
I thought they would be original?

Pre-order is down and the first piece of DLC, Onslaught mode, is up for $3.99. From the look of it getting all four modes for free (with RE5 and digital artbook/soundtrack) was one hell of a deal.
I'm guessing the game is now up for NA.
Don't forget about this:

The amount of ACTION and qte's in the first 10 minutes is... surprising to say the least lol

HO-LEE SHIT
That was fucking intense. Makes the console version look like a kiddie game. To anyone who doubts RE6's combat system, I point you to this video.

Edit: Derp, I was logged into the PS3 site.
I just played through the 'intro section', with Leon and Helena. Is the whole game gonna look like this? QTE after QTE, with tons of cutscenes in between? That's unbearable.
I skipped a lot of 'AAA' titles this gen (Batman, Borderlands, Dead Space, etc) and I'm kinda glad I did, because they seem be inspired by one another.
Aside from a very few games, I think its time to gaming on 3DS/Vita and never care anymore for consoles.
They should lunch a Mercenaries spinoff and get this over it. It was clear that after 4, that's the direction they wanted. Operation Raccon City was basically this.

Most of the game is not like the Prelude. It has QTEs though.
EDIT: I'm confused by RE.net... Do your points not carry over between platforms?

You skipped all those great games saying they, "seem be inspired by one another", then decided to pick Resident Evil 6? That's kind of backwards no?

Started the Leon campaign and so far the framerate has been a rock solid 60 for me. Some parts of the game look REALLY nice, but then some of the textures are so bad. Would be cool if they did an HD texture pack down the line.
Honestly I bought this against my better judgement, I rented it on 360 when it came out and didn't much care for it but they seem to have made just enough changes for me to give it another shot.

I hate that the prelude isn't skippable and locks you out of some options. I just wanted to tweak things to my liking, not learn how to aim and shoot, Capbros. At least it was short.
e: I don't have anyone online to play with right now and I'd rather not go brolo or, worse, try my luck with randoms. This sucks, I want to play.

You'd think with all of these changes they would make that section optional. Would go a long way with first impressions. It is pretty useless both as a piece of the plot and as a tutorial. Just not good.

Whoever was on development that day really should have stepped back and looked at that prologue and how worthless it is.
dragonlife

Yeah, that prologue thing was pretty unnecessary.
Also, does the game take an ungodly amount of time to load up for anyone else? Black screen for about a minute or two for me with the loading cursor from Windows.

OK twice now, after the helicopter crash and you get to the stadium, the game crashes to desktop saying Out of video memory. Which is bull, as its only using 400mb and I got 1.5 gig. I disabled desktop composition and it still happens, can't do that intro for a third time.. It's not even saving my checkpoints... any ideas?

Do you have fraps running? Heard that might be a problem.

Got Afterburner running, I'll try disabling that. Thanks.

The fact that you went so long before getting hit is amazing. I'd be shitting my pants with all those enemies. Oh and +8 instead of +7 for a coup de grace, thats cool.

Free update in April the 6th I believe.

Good god... can console versions please have this!?!?! Probably too much to do in a patch though...
The insane level lengths is the only thing that kept me from continuing to play this with randoms online after I finished it once...
Everything under "What's Changed" applies to the console versions.

Those Bloodshots' days are numbered. The bane of my solo Mercs runs.
lol I fully agree with you. Because Resident Evil is a franchise I (used to?) love, and those ones were new IPs, I decided to give it a chance, even with all the bad comments here on GAF. Because you know... GAF. Countless games that were trashed here were actually great gaming experiences.
Well, after playing all the major shooters and action games this gen, I don't feel like putting 10+ hours through the same stuff over and over again.

If this wasn't a Resident Evil, this game would go down so hard. I mean, what's so special about it? The plot seems a mess (you even have to "play in the right order" to get it), you don't have any kind of relevant character development, you do all this useless chores, go from point A to B instead of actually exploring the environment and doing puzzles, you shoot tons of bad dudes with guns, kick some doors, then move to another area to shoot tons of dudes. I'm tired. I wanna walk, take my time, explore a room, search for new weapons and ammo, see what's in the corner, etc.
RE5 was bearable just because it was new and because of 'timing', but RE6 just repeats itself until exhaustion. Ugh... I really wanna finish the game, just for the sake of finishing it (big ol' RE fan here), but ugh... I think I will just play a little of each campaign, watch the ending on YT and that's it. I already saw the "secret ending" on YT and RE7 seems like it will be the same crap.
I used to watch those 'The first 10 minutes' videos before I make any purchases, they really give you an idea what the game looks and FEELS. If I like it, I buy it. Sadly I never did this with RE6.
It hurts me to see what this industry has become.
Played some co-op Mercenaries with dot. No idea what was going on, but I was having a blast all the time. I <3 quick shot.
What do you guys use for camera / aim speed though? Having trouble finding settings that I'm comfortable with still.

It's basically walk a few steps, cutscene, few more steps qte, walk, run, cutscene, shoot, qte, walk. The entire game is like that more or less. Which is my biggest complaint about it. You don't play for long without being interrupted with a cutscene or QTE.

Yeah, I believe they did nothing (or very little).
I was expecting this.

Yes, it supports up to 4, just like on the Xbox.
