RE6: Attracting CoD fans 'the dream,' says Capcom. 'Action route makes sense'

I don't see this game attracting CoD players. 3rdps, zombies, no kill streaks (at least I dont think so). I haven't had a problem with the action turn RE has taken, but please, don't turn it into a CoD.ispeakfact

Zombies are damn popular this days, and Resident Evil is a big name, so i can see it being a big seller in the casual market.

Anyway, i just hope they make the game fun to play and at least they add some identity, i mean the co-op in RE5 was pretty damn good.

Selling out to the casuals will only make you more and more irrelevant, Capcom.

Suck it up people. You want slower paced RE play Revelations. That's why it exists and apparently its pretty good. RE is now an action series and its a damn fun one too that requires more than just spray 800 rounds. If you don't like it fine, you're not alone but you're whiny biitchhy attitude is annoying.

I wish publishers would realize that you don't sell games by copying CoD.

You sell games by being like RE4 and 5 which Capcom is basically doing with RE6 :|

I don't honestly get what you guys are talking about. Capcom has made tons of unique, high quality games this gen that "hardcore" ass wipes did not play or support either. RE goes actiony (which it has been since 4) and suddenly they are irrelevant? Irrelevant to whom?

So being irrelevant means selling less units? Well in that case aren't they doing the correct thing then? RE5, straight up action game and second best selling capcom game ever :|

Crapcom sure does love to ruin its best franchises.

Good because this none sense about the game being bad is ridiculous. I've played a lot of shiitty games. RE5 was not one of them.

Chasing after the CoD audience is a bad idea but I hardly think Capcom is doing that with RE6 anymore than RE5. RE has always been ridiculous and 4 started a trend of straight up ridiculous scenarios. The laser scene? the knife fight? (it was awesome though) Jet Ski off the island?

RE has never stopped being a series of good games. It stopped being a horror series with 4 though. 5 went straight up action and 6 is looking to be a mix. Revelations is going for the mix as well. Haters are going to hate but people who think Capcom expect CoD 24 million sales when their best selling game ever is around 7 are being idiots.

RIP Survival Horror? Did you play the RE:R demo? It's godly :D I doubt it will be the last of its kind.Eponique

Thanks for the reminder! I need to DL that and play it. It is certainly going to be the best RE in a long time.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I'm not saying RE5 was bad. I'm just saying that chasing the Call of Duty audience is not a good business strategy in the long term. RE absolutely should be an action series. The older, survival-horror games are awful in comparison to RE4. They just need to not focus on attracting that audience and focus on making good games. You cannot plan for Call of Duty levels of success. It just happens.DarkLink77

I agree, you are never going to be CoD so stop trying to chase its success. That said, RE5 moved away from RE4 which already moved away from RE:CV. Its like the natural order haha.

Publishers don't need to be CoD to make money, they just need to make good games with appropriate budgets. They suck at that though.

Please tell me you liked RE4 better? If not, your opinion is no longer valid :P.

Didn't like most of the trailer looked to much like a Michel bay production, with them going for the COD crowd I'am 100% sure I won't be buying RE6, I was burnt once with RE5 it won't happen again.

Guys where does it say it's going to be a CoD copy? yes, they are going for the CoD audience but for what we saw in the trailer is nothing like CoD, is just another Action game, personally, i take RE over CoD anytime, if they improve the old RE4 gameplay, then i'm good, i also hope they keep the local co-op, that was the main reason i enjoyed RE5.

Better in some ways, not in others. Overall its the superior title. I just feel like, the reason to go pick up RE5 is not the same as the reason to go pick up RE4. In terms of sequels, that's a good thing.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]From Dragon Age 2 to Resident Evil 6. Haaaaaaah. Oh well Dead Space is a grand series, and the second was superb. DarkLink77

Can't get much closer than this

You guys seem to forget why they make videogames...It's a business.

And in response...It needs godlike achievement based multiplayer to attract the masses.

Resident Evil is a franchise that has lost all connection with where it started and has no idea what it wants to be anymore...

The idea could have worked with controls similar to a less agile Uncharted, with clumsy but reasonably fast, stong and agressive enemies; mixed with puzzles and ammo conservation. Add enviroment design akin to Soul Reaver and the old REs, i.e the expanding hub and 2-3 changes of scenario, and you'd have an action/horror/puzzle game with tons of potenial.

The trailer looks like Gears of Evil though :?

I don't get it, I mean are they completely changing the Resident Evil gameplay?Or just adding a few tweaks to it? I am a bit confused though, in the trailer Chris is taking cover behind a wall and is shooting people with guns (they don't look infected), like ok? If I wanted to play a 3rd person shooter with cover I'll go play Uncharted or Gears. Still I have hope for the game and I don't think it will bebad at all, I'm just very confused, where are they taking this series?

Oh but having multiple charecters looks pretty interesting, but for the love of God if you are making the game Coopertive please make your allies AI at least half way decent? Playing RE5 by yourself was a complete nightmare becasue of how bad Sheva was, I don't care if she had a nice ass it still was a pain to play it by yourself, online coopertive was great though and so was split screen. I just don't know where they are going with RE6.

I'll still probably end up buying it just like RE:ORCbecause I'm a pretty big RE fan, IMO they are the best zombie games ever made.

Since Crapcom got nice sales out of RE5 , i dont see why to change their formula. And imho thats the main reason they wont. Thats why i wont buy another RE game and rent it instead like i did with RE4 and RE5. They are -1 by me except if i find it later on PC in very low price AND is way better than RE5 which i uninstall it at chapter 3 which was utter ****

Yea it kinda does, especially the running when it shows Chris. He runs just like the Gears charecters do....

Well it's pretty clear we can't rely on Capcom for a good survival horror game anymore.. Obviously they're too afraid to take any risks or step out their comfort zone.. Lol expect the next Megaman game to be inspired by CoD and you know.. Not megaman. Capcom is really just showing how much of a lousy game developer they've become because now all they can do is copy and paste from other game developers.

IT CANNOT BE SURVIVAL HORROR ANYMORE.

we're on the 6th RE, by now its an epidemic and not a mysterious plot. They'd have to reboot the whole franchise to get back the survival-horror factor.

I think what they should do is make it so that it's a survial game first and foremost. Say your in the city filled with the infected, and rather than go around shooting them all, you spend your time running and trying to escape. There would be some action of course as you shoot the occasional zombie, but the main focus of the game would be survival. I think they could do it, but what they are showing off with this new trailer looks like it's just shoot zombies.

But I still think the game will end up being good, and I heard revelation is good too. I wonder how ORC will turn out....

Asked why the series has taken a more action-focussed stance - specifically with Operation Raccoon City - Turner said:

"We've seen the popularity of Resident Evil increase massively as the series became more action oriented - Resident Evil 5 is the biggest seller in the series. So, it makes sense for us to follow this action area more fully."

He added of Operation Raccoon City: "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."

15 dollar map packs confirmed.

Resident Evil 6 should have been a full survivor horror since Capcom has already a game for shooter fans on the making. They should have gone the direction 2K Games and Codemasters did, making two games of the same franchise but with different gameplay, aimed for different kinds of public.

Don't care, game looks cool.

I don't mind... Gameplay trailer had me excited, Leon's in this game, and I love RE. It may not be survival horror anymore, but the characters I love and grew up with are still here, and as long as the game is fun and the characters I love are there, I'm fine. It still has zombies, shooting, and trying to survive mass waves of enemies. That's fine. It may not be "scary" anymore, in the sense that the past other RE titles created, however it doesn't have to be. The series did need to evolve in some way, it showed when RE 4 happened. RE 4 was amazing, but with the way the storyline of the game is unfolding, how can it NOT be an action-like epidemic? The world itself is going to hell in this trailer, what can they do? Walk and trudge through streets, and not be able to walk and shoot? yoshi_64

i dont know why they didint make a console game like revelations.oh well ill see how this turns out.
