SAN MATEO, Calif. — Jan. 19, 2012 — Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, is very proud to announce that Resident Evil® 6 is in full development and scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 ® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on November 20, 2012 with a Windows PC version to follow. Blending action and survival horror, this latest instalment in the multi-million selling franchise is the most ambitious, immersive and feature rich title of the series to date and promises to be the dramatic horror experience of the year.

It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.

In a first for the franchise, Resident Evil 6 sees series favorites Leon and Chris come together to face this unprecedented threat. They will be joined by new characters, each with their own unique perspective and involvement, in this relentless dramatic horror experience enacted on a global scale.

“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series,” commented Katsuhiko Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing. “The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to deliver the most impressive Resident Evil® title ever both in terms of scope and production values. We are all genuinely excited by the title and cannot wait to share it with the world.”

Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Resident Evil 6 Executive Producer added: “From the outset the team’s intention was to create an experience that delivers a gripping storyline, tense single-player and co-op action all set against a constant theme of horror. We are calling this fusion dramatic horror and are confident it will resonate with both existing fans of the series as well as newcomers.”

I have to admit I'm curious as to if the series will get worse and worse every entry like Zelda now that all the creative staff has left, or if there will be surprises, like "every 3rd entry somehow turns out awesome!"

If 3DS and this turn out worse than RE5, yikes. Fingers crossed both or one of them turn out better.

"i hope you can see this because i'm doing it as hard as i can"

goddammit son, re5 wasn't some groundbreaking masterpiece like re4, but it was still a huge game that was packed with loads of fantastic content. zelda was great long ago, but every game released in the passed ten years has been, at best, "it was pretty fun BUT..." quality. and that but has just gotten bigger and bigger over the years (teehee). please dont equate the two.

Bebpo · « **Reply #6 on:** January 19, 2012, 04:48:59 PM »

Eh, I've said my piece on RE5 here a plenty. To me, it was the worst RE game to date, even worse than RE3/CVX. Will never bother to replay it. What a sorry ass adventure across uninteresting locations, bad bosses, forced co-op, and with the most letdown possible end to the Umbrella/Wesker arc they possibly could have done.

I know some people here *cough*cough*himuro*cough* love it and think it's one of the finest RE games ever produced because of it's great co-op and arcade-like replayability. However, when it comes to RE there are definitely different camps and I fall in with the "RE5 sucked" haters.

iconoclast · « **Reply #7 on:** January 19, 2012, 04:52:14 PM »

Will buy day one if there's a PC version and it's single player only. RE5 was more fun in co-op, but only because you had to choose between distinguished mentally-challenged fellow AI and someone to actually play with. Single player RE is best RE.

Bebpo · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:12:22 PM »

Will probably be a fun shooter, but yeah classic "RE" is either dead or delegated to B-level handheld entries from this point on. Hope Revelations delivers.

cool breeze · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:12:30 PM »

This looks so weird. It's like instead of trying to balance action and horror they went action or horror.

Leon sections are set in a city against zombies.

Chris sections are set in china against against enemies with guns and stuff with cover shooting.

3rd character plus Ashley (?) seems to be the co-op mode set somewhere else, who might have super powers, or something.

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:13:03 PM »

You don't know shit about this game except from what's in the trailer.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #19 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:14:05 PM »

Yeah, looks to be a mix between 4 and 5. Also, is that Leon with his hair shaved off?

Looks tits. RE5 wasn't a very satisfying single player experience, but dammit if the the co-op wasn't fun. Excited for this.

Himu · « **Reply #20 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:14:43 PM »

I 1000'd all of RE5 without one co-op partner. RE5 is the shit without co-op.

When are we going to do our RE5 thing?! If we're gonna do a speed run, I have to get all my shit back. That means duping gold eggs until we got at least 1.5 mil in cash.

You may be surprised at E3. I'd dig a PC version if that's in the cards. Anyways I shouldn't have to justify my opinion of fricking gameplay trailers.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #30 on:** January 19, 2012, 05:47:42 PM »

That trailer really didn't do much for me... Everybody has different opinions on these things though.

I liked RE 5 but I thought it was clunky control wise since it was trying to be purely an action game. If they sort that out that would increase my interest because it looks even more like a pure action game at this point.

Leon seems exactly the same.

He's clearly different to who he was in RE4. More footage will tell how different, but what was in the trailer showed a different Leon.

Even still Leon's section looks like the best part of the game. Zombies~

Too many playable characters though. And forced co-op shouldn't be a thing. Should be optional.

Just fucking buy one of the HD twins. You'll have fun. We won't tell on you to the Nintengods. Seriously.

The trailer mentions that a PC version is coming at a later date.

Yeah, BC nailed the core mechanics of fun gameplay. And the Outbreak games were good from what I could tell, but tech problems like loading and shitty online hurt them.

The slide + 180 was the best thing about the trailer. More developers should start cribbing Vanquish's slide & shoot mechanic (I'm aware of Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm).

Game looks awesome though. Will probably buy it on 360 when it comes out, but I might hold off for the PC version if it isn't too far behind.

After thinking for a second that "wait, GRIN made Bionic 2009, why would there be a Japanese director" I found the staff credits and yeah, Sasaki was barely involved:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/bionic-commando__/credits

Now I need to actually look up what his positions were on those other games listed. It's possible he's a nobody who just did small roles in various games until now and this is his first big job.

*edit, ok he directed the RE Outbreak games; both of them. He also directed Zack & Wiki. One of the main planners on Powerstone 2 and main designers on Star Gladitors and produced Rival Schools. Only thanked in Jojo, no actual work on it.

Bebpo · « **Reply #47 on:** January 19, 2012, 07:01:17 PM »

So he's kind of an old-school Capcom guy who did some 3d fighting game design work and moved his way up in the rank, took hold of the RE Outbreak series, then did oddball Zack & Wiki and then went back to RE with #6. Not bad background and he's familiar with RE and creating RE atmosphere. Could turn out well.

I dunno. I honestly think a western developer could do a better mainline RE game than Capcom since when it comes to making shooters, western devs have more experience and talent.

If RE was still this quirky Japanese survival horror thing, I'd be against outsourcing it. But as a bro game, give it to Crytek and they'll make a better one I bet.
