Resident Evil 6

byCapcom•2012

Resident Evil 6 is the ninth video game installment in the Resident Evil series. It continues the struggle against zombies infected by the new highly virulent C-virus. The game uses the same over-the-shoulder view as Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, however with a new gameplay mechanic that allows players to slowly move while shoot. Players can...

But it’s also important to highlight that the fundamental issues with the game are still here. Yes, it runs at a steady and responsive 60fps. Yes it represents tremendous value for money. But there are some times where the pacing is quite off – a far cry from the perfectly honed Resident Evil 4 and 5. If you can put these things aside, and go into Resident Evil 6 willing to learn the intricacies of the games fluid and varied combat systems, Resident Evil 6 is a fantastic buy.

Hordes of undead shamblers have been chasing our delicious brains so regularly across games, movies and TV shows recently that they barely register so much as a shiver any more.

Survival of the biggest. Capcom’s Resident Evil series used to make you afraid of things that went bump in the night. Now, [...]

Resident Evil 6 has its fair share of issues, that much is certain. The story has so much left unexplained in the actual playthroughs that even devoted fans of the series will be left unsatisfied with everything that transpires. The controls have been updated from Resident Evil 5 and in most cases they don’t feel right. However for all that the single player content lacks, the multiplayer, although currently limited, can be quite enjoyable. With the inclusion of events from RE.net, the repl...

Overall, Capcom were just too ambitious with Resident Evil 6, and unfortunately this port doesn’t really do anything to address any of its glaring issues. As such, it truly is a wasted opportunity to restore fans’ faith in the series as it continues forwards. Despite it all however, if you can live with the shoddy controls, ridiculous story and sickening emphasis on action, Resident Evil 6 can still be quite enjoyable, especially when played in co-op. In the end though, there’s no getting over the fact that this is one of the weakest games in the series, and even with its massive amount of con...

Resident Evil 6 polarizes you between beauty and boredom. Capcom has strayed too far from survival horror, in turn has alienated some long time fans of the series.

I'm going to come out and say what no one else will: This is NOT Resident Evil. What Capcom has created here is an amazing Horror based VR tech demo, but there is next to nothing that ties it to the great Survival/Horror/Action series that has been around since 1996...

I didn't think it was possible but the Resident Evil games have gotten as loud, dumb and tiresome as the Resident Evil movies. Overcomplicated mechanics, a confusing, schizophrenic campaign split four ways and a ridiculous plot that doesn't just break suspension of disbelief but blends it into a smoothie make Resident Evil 6 a real chore to get through.

The Resident Evil franchise is still looking for another break out game that will bring the feelings of Resident Evil 1,2 and 4 back. This game is unfortunately not that game. Stay clear unless you are a hardcore Resident Evil fan. If you don't, you will probably have a bad time.

How did this happen? No, really – how did this happen? Resident Evil 6, the most recent numbered entry in Capcom's iconic survival horror series, is an unmitigated mess – a real turd of a game that's so downright bad that it beggars belief. You'd think that with the series celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the publisher would have preferred to let this stinker decompose alongside other rotters like Operation Raccoon City and Dead Aim, but that financial hole that the Japanese publisher's found itself in is a deep one, so here's a remastered PlayStation 4 version of one of the worst t...

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the first third party title to be a part of Xbox’s Play Anywhere program, allowing the game and saves to be playable on both PC and Xbox interchangeably. Previously there have been more than a few hiccups with this program, but Resident Evil 7 runs mostly without any hitches. I played at much higher frame rate and graphical fidelity with a high level of stability with ease. My saves transferred over mostly seamlessly, I think I had to retry my cloud synchronization once but otherwise my experience was good. There is a current issue with DRM for some, where the gam...
