Capcom/Kobayashi wants/wanted RE to be stylish-action horror vidya, but "fans" want a return to characters being boring survivors (lol, as if that was ever what the series was about).

RE6 isn't as bad as fags meme it up to be. A fun TPS brawler with some real potential. Will probably never see it return unfortunately.

It was based on characters and events mentioned or seen in RE6. RE6 also got a prequel manga Marhawa Desire and multiple rereleases, and sold the second highest in the series

>>387741454
>It wasn't based on re6
You're right, it doesn't set up the events of 6 and the film that directly follows it at all. It's based on the whole franchise despite only containing 3 of the characters relevant to the film and nobody else from the series. Cop on

The actual and factual is that millions bought and enjoy RE6.
And there's absolutely nothing you can do to change that.

>>387741012
>RE4 did nothing wrong
RE4 wasn't what Resident Evil was at the time. RE4 was a goofy action game with horror elements, with little to no survival involved thanks to enemies dropping ammo, inventory management being unnecessary and the merchant existing. There is no survival element in RE4, and barely any horror.

>>387741723

I've been told the Mercs mode is best in this game, is that true?

>>387742143
Sales didn't meet their expectations because there are fewer true hardcore oldschool gamers like me left on the planets. At my house Resident Evils 6 is often played and we luvs it longtime. My house is so exciting. In my bedroom... I have a brass.... waterbed. We like playing the ship level and the waterbed helps us feel more immersed in the game with the wavey motion and it's great.
Really, really great!

We bought Archives Edition, regular edition, and Games on Demand version.

You have our support and all our hearts forevers and we buying Resident Evils Revelations same day it releases.
And that so nice.

>>387742172
Neither of those posts were addressing that point. The goalposts are fine where they are, anon

>>387742172
They had insane expectation fro RE6. They expected it to sell more than RE5, one of their top selling games of all time. I'm fairly certain they made back on development costs, but didn't mean profit expectations, as RE6 was fucking expensive to make, as it required a reworked engine, highly detailed cutscenes and models, a reworked coop and mercs mode, and was jsut a huge game in general. RE6 would've never made a shitton of money because Capcom put too much money and expectations in it

>>387742289
>Sales didn't meet their expectations because there are fewer true hardcore oldschool gamers like me left on the planets.

Sales didn't meet expectations because it was a shit game and you're one of the few tools who bought into it because you have shit taste.

>>387742143
>implying there's something wrong with buying multiple copies of a game
I assume he bought a PS3/360 version, a PS4/XBone version, and a PC version from the Capcom bundle that happened a while back.
It's not insanity, it's just that he liked a game.

Melee combat became hilariously overpowered and the devs knew it, hell, Jake's scenario you beat the shit out of the final boss with your bare fists.

Was awesome though, I enjoyed 6. No Hope difficulty is a bitch though.

>>387742423
meh.. RE6 isn't a terrible game, its just lacking in terms of play-testing. Camera Angles/Fixed Cinematic moments are terrible (Chris's last act comes to mind specifically) and they just weren't well thought out. Gameplay has its moments where I greatly enjoyed, but they're lost in the moments where I felt like scenes were rushed.

Character Design... I was pretty frustrated with how some of the characters just aren't consistent within the game... Chris for an instance, is the obvious one. Helena on the hand is a complete idiot... When you finally get around to meeting her "sister," its almost as if she wasn't present for the rest of Leon's campaign to realize that she's already a lost cause.

also... is it me, or does every "survivor" that the players meet end up dead. Like, if I saw Leon/Helena running towards me and telling me that they were here to help, I would seriously turn and run the other way immediately!

The shooting and gunplay for mercs is still fun, and the campaign feels longer than RE5... but due to camera angles, control bugs, and story-lore... I have to say overall this is a HUGE step back from RE5. I feel like they looked the failures of Operation: Racoons City, but only tooksome of the worse aspects of the game.

Laughably bad fanfic tier story with a pretty fun combat system.

People seem to misunderstand why RE6 got such bad reviews. Stop jumping on the "lolit'snot RE" bandwagon. RE6 got bad reviews because it's a bad game not because it's not a real RE game.

So many jump on the RE6 hate bandwagon. RE fans who have been around long enough knew what to expect from the director of Outbreak, and RE6 is an awesome game, just takes a slightly flexible mind to be able to fully appreciate.

>>387742642
>Chris' last act comes to mind specifically
That was the only time I had a fixed camera issue, and it didn't really bother me. It's probably because I had been playing shit like DB Xenoverse and Danganronpa for weeks prior and was used to either little camera control or awful camera angles.
>Chris for an instance, is the obvious one.
Could you explain? I felt his design was consistent as a followup to RE5, or are you talking about characters themselves?
>does every "survivor" that the players meet end up dead.
For the most part, yeah. I think a few in Chris' campaign got saved, but other than that, pretty much all of them died. Not like they mattered though.
>but due to camera angles, control bugs, and story-lore
Didn't have any issues with the lore and control bugs, was pretty consistent with the rest of the series for the former, and the latter never affected me, if they ever happened.

You should know what to expect when you played any other RE title. Their all corny as fuck. And Chris campaign ending wasn't even half bad. Having your Coop-partner sacrifice himself and get crazy lightning powers makes a really nice fight.

re4 and re5 still had some survival horror going for them. Inventar management, low mobility and ammo, more "clucky" aiming.
In re6 you can just melee every enemy in the game to death, dash and roll around doing crazy stunts. It doesnt have any survival horror elements and is a total other game then 4/5.
Is it as good as the previous title? No. Is it still good? In Coop, yeah.

I think you use the phrase "shit game" for everything which isn't 10/10 for you. Which really ruins you many good, non perfect, games.

Nah. RE0 was a pointless prequel. Nothing about it ever gets brought up in any of the other games. It feels like they deliberately made it that way back when it was supposed to be an N64-exclusive so that the people who only owned a PS wouldn't had miss out on anything.

But Pierce kept calling him out on how letting vengeance cloud his judgement and shit like that, but exactly how?

Fake Ada was pure evil and wanted to destroy the entire world and was creating monsters everywhere. What exactly is wrong with prioritizing to chase after a terrorist? Chasing after biohazard using terrorists is his job, like how he chased after Albert Wesker and finally killed him. He was right to chase after her. And the BSAA drop like flies constantly, you even see it in Leon's campaign, Chris' supposed 'mistake' of chasing after Ada had nothing to do with that.

If it was just Chris being depressed about all the death around him I'd understand. But Pierce kept lecturing him on his supposed failings and the story presented him like he was in the right. It didn't make sense to me.

Probably because they used different casting agency depending on the game. RE2-4, Zero and CV were all directed by Susan Hart.

>>387738363
The problem is that it has Resident Evil as its name. I can guarantee that if it was some other thing Capcom made it wouldn't have gotten nearly as much hate as it did, since it's focus was coop action which it actually does pretty well. Either way RE6 sold millions across the board, Capcom said it was a financial success, and mercenaries is undoubtedly fun as hell, so it's not like it's some big loss on Capcoms part. Also if you really want to blame something, blame 4 for giving us ammo drops every 5 seconds in barrels and shit, and this is coming from someone who liked 4. Of course no one will do that though. Funnily enough RE7 went back to pure survival horror as well as got a ton of positive reviews yet didn't do nearly as well.

>>387751204
>The problem is that it has Resident Evil as its name.

A similar problem is that "7" has Resident Evil as its name. It could easily be sold as a stand alone, non-RE game if they had taken out the Umbrella logo and Chris Redfield at the end. It was pretty much like Outlast and Amnesia. I really don't see much of a future for the RE franchise after 7, except for RE2 remake.

>Helena.
One shit female character who barely talks or does anything.
>No Mikami.
Mikami was the reason RE went to shit by turning RE4 into an action game
>Shitty camera angles.
The only time they were bad was in the last act of Chris' campaign
>Shitty ai.
Which is why they don't die or take your shit
>Simmons.
One legit complaint
>Worse controls even with dynamic movement.
How
>Running out of ammo/bullet sponge bosses.
You don't know how to conserve ammo? Just conserve in the earlier chapters and you'll be set in the later ones
>Ammo in Chris' section loosing ammo in the flashback scenes.
That's because different time periods
>Piers dying.
Legit complaint
>Leon tripping on dead people.
Legit complaint

RE7 went out on such a good note that its fine. I'm happy that they perfected the approach to survival horror they experimented in with the Revelations spinoffs. I just wonder what would be next for the devs after this, since the amount of nods to horror films in 7 is insane.

RE4 is a supremely well designed action game, unlike its sequels.

Resident Evil 2 onward were action games.

What's wrong with RE5?

Can someone explain why you can never save zoe? I with Mia so hearing you choice doesnt matter sounds disappointing

Don't ask us. Ask Capcom. She was a literally who anyway. That "choice" was stupid.
