Resident Evil 6 suffered due to 'inadequate organizational collaboration'

See, how can I trust them now to make a better game in the future? They don't even think RE6 was bad, they just think it needed better marketing. The first step is admitting you have a problem, Capcom, and it sure wasn't your god damn tv commercials.

What happened to the glorious company who produced masterpieces for the NES, SNES,PSX and Arcade? What happened to the company who almost anything that put out was quality standard? Remember those old CPS-1, CPS-2 times, the old megamans and stuff. They sure have went downhill

Glad they are making no apologizes on the actual quality of the game. It had problems, but it was very ambitious and very enjoyable. Check out my mini-review.

Kevin VanFail (the reviewer who gave is a 4.5) had some of the most unfounded criticisms I've ever seen in a game review.

Am I the only one who sense something wrong with RE6 Disc movement on ps3 console ? cause other games look's just fine for me .

Our game stunk because of the .....Marketing Department?

Yeah, this brilliant response makes me want to buy their stuff again.

poor efforts in marketing and promotion led to latest game coming up short had nothing to do with there being one too many quick time events.....

Da streets be talkin... If your game is good, people will tell 5 of their friends. If your game sucks, they'll tell 10. It doesn't matter how much money Capcom tries to throw at advertising... Once people play the game, the word is out, and the judgement is in.

If they want better sales... Make games people want to talk about. A lot of people are trying to forget RE6 ever existed.

CAPCOM needs to start by rebooting the franchise back to Resident Evil 1 & 2 because if they were smart, they would obviously know that is where the money is....there's no need to reboot a franchise back to something that it hasn't been since 1999! CAPCOM is full of non-inspirational developers and directors.....they are obviously being more influenced by all these Call of Duty fanboys, because they seem to think by making a RE game more like CoD, that it will sell more.....WRONG!

I can give you my two cents since I've been playing RE since I was 11.

CAPCOM needs to bring in a director who shares the original passion of creating a good storyline and gameplay factor like Shinji Mikami brought to it. The series should not be rebooted into an alternate path, but rather start from the beginning again, because it's obvious, the fans want to return to the original survival horror setting. With the amount of memory and processing power consoles have nowadays, theres no reason you can't create a massive Resident Evil game spanning the first 3 in the series (RE 0/1+2+3). With the poor success of using QTEs every 10 seconds, they should be completely removed from this game. Ammo should also be extremely limited..... instead of zombies dropping ammo after you kill them (why would zombies have ammo?) there should at least be the option of creating ammo with experience points or something, thus this would add an extra tense situation in which you would have to create ammo to use it-- thus a "survival" aspect. In the manner of Co-Op, I think it SHOULD be included......why you ask? Every Resident Evil game in the past had at least 2 main characters you would play as....so obviously CAPCOM always had a linear aspect to a 2-player game in the past even though it was strictly 1-player. So, include Co-Op, but do not make it strictly linear...... If this game is going to be a good RE game, it must have "exploration" ; therefore, this would give you the option to split from you're partner at any time. This would allow you to explore the game much faster, but come at a price of difficulty. When splitting, the game would not become "single-player" either, if you are looking for a certain key to a door and your partner happens to find it, then your partner would have to come back to open that door.

Of course this game, I think, should still be in over-the-shoulder- 3rd person perspective which will make you really have to conserve your ammo and hit you're target-- fixed camera placements are a thing of the past and should stay there (lets be real).

These are just my two cents.......CAPCOM.......wake up and listen to the fans and not the ones that play Call of Duty just for the multiplayer.....CoD already makes the same game every year, we don't need another company doing the same thing.

I like the game. Its cheesy and over the top. Its love a b movie. Campy horror is awesome. Next time they should use bad effects like strings holding up the giant bows and spring boards flipping zombies. Maybe toss in some really goofy blood and more exaggerated death sequences.

Quality of game is the only reason they ever suffer. If a game is good it will sell well.

Earn your sales from making a good game deserving of them, not how creative you can spin your game with ad campaigns.

I reached a clear conclusion about 1 hour into the game: Awful inventory, awful QTE's, removal of buying and upgrading weapons, god awful skill system, removal of finding and selling treasure and some gameplay issues.

I'm not even getting paid for this shit and I do a better job.

They think the problem is the ads, ok... ok...

>blaming poor management and organization
>not blaming the fact that 90 percent of the game is quick time events, the horrible storyline for all 4 campaigns, the poorly written characters, the reused set pieces/ boss battles, the horrid controls, and just about everything else in this poor excuse for a "game"

well jeez, Crapcom. you just keep digging your own grave deeper and deeper huh? maybe next time you release a video game, make sure its an actual VIDEO GAME. not a "choose your own adventure interactive movie." because thats what Resident Evil 6 was. nothing more.

in this day and age all advertisment does is let us know the game is out not to entice gamers to buy a game if you want parents to get it for there kids better start making the kiddy games. we gamers are to well informed to need advertisement to get a game.

yeah capcom you rmarketing was the reason this game did bad. man some people need to be fired at capcom. the pres can commit hari kari.

No. It suffered because it in every way you can imagine, betrayed what Resident Evil is supposed to be

The reason resident evil 6 suffered is because of "RESIDENT EVIL 6". All the marketing, etc cannot save a sub-par experience. It was a bad game, that sold of the "Resident Evil" name. YOU (Capcom) know it, WE know it, and Gamespot, DEFINITELY knows it lol. Get over it and move forward. I find it amazing that a company that produced a million damn Mega Man (not talking about the spin-offs like mega man network) games find a concept like "sticking to the core" gameplay so baffling. Mega man evolved into Mega Man X and X evolved to Mega Man Zero. different gameplay mechanics to a degree, but they still stuck to the basic formula, which is why it was a smooth transition.

Keys to Success:

1. Get back to more SURVIVAL HORROR and less "RANDOM ACTION/SHOOTER". Instead of going for the, "duck and cover, I don't wanna get shot" mechanics, try for a more "duck and hide because oh shit I only have 3 bullets and I don't want to be discovered by this mass group of zombies or other monster that will tear me to shreds". The scariest thing about RE:6 was the horrific QTE whoring. It's sad when the most unnerving thing about a "RE" title was failing to press a button that flashed across the screen in time because you dread having to do the sequence over again.

2. PUZZLES, PUZZLES, PUZZLES!!!!. I liked having to back track through countless doors and rooms just to find that "son-of-a-bitch" CRANK that plagued all of us in the early games lmao. Being paranoid as hell because I didn't know what new form of flesh eating evil had taken up residence in a once safe and serene room or hallway. It was cool to take a break away from purging the world of the "soul-less" and being emerged into something that torments you mentally for a while.

3. STOP.....THE QTE FEST... and horrible Vehicle chase sequences. I didn't mind the "Quick Decision" option in RE: Nemesis adopted because your choices didn't lead to your swift and conclusive demise. If you didn't choose quickly, the worst case scenario was having to square off against a 10ft B.O.W. equipped with a rocket launcher, and strength & speed to chase you down and destroy you like Ray Lewis in his prime, with a case of Deer Antler spray (congrat Ravens lol) Who could also open doors. But at least you stood a fighting chance. QTE is ok for when an enemy grabs you, but not for EVERYTHING.

4. Cut the Co-op umbilical cord - Nothing like going through a game with a partner, but please allow each player free will. I don't want to have to stick close by just to play "stepping stone" for my partner all the time, so we can advance. Imagine playing the first RE or RE:2 and having the option to stick together the entire way, or part ways and you both play through the game as if it were a single player experience.

5. Add MORE Melee and throwing Weapons and more interactive environments. Machetes, Chain-Saws, Axes, Bats, Pipes, and being able to use gas cans, make Molotovs, shoot pipes to slow down enemies, kick oil barrels at enemies and shoot them to cause explosion, setting off car alarms to throw enemies off your trail. Kick over trashcans or other objects to make perusing enemies fall, being able to hide, and also lead enemies into traps. etc. just being able to use the environment to your advantage in general.

It flopped because it was one big repetitive QTE. That is not a gameplay feature anyone wants anymore.

I don't think RE6 flopping had anything to do with marketing...

I'm not a big RE fan, but when 3 of my friends who are die-hard RE lovers all returned RE6, after one week, that told me all I needed to know about it.

Resident Evil 6 suffered due to unoriginality!

The reason that Resident Evil 6 hasn't sold as well over the long term as initially planned is because the game sucks. A mix of bad critical reviews and bad word of mouth will kill any game.
