Why Capcom Brought Zombies Back For Resident Evil 6

While zombies were once the main enemy in the Resident Evil series, more recent Resident Evil games introduced fodder like the Ganado in Resident Evil 4 and the Ooze from Resident Evil: Revelations. Why did Capcom bring zombies back for Resident Evil 6?

Because its not RE without them and they know it.

Snookies125079d ago

Lol yeah, if they didn't have "zombies" (I use the term lightly for these ones...) people wouldn't even be able to tell it's a Resident Evil game anymore... That's how far they've skewed the series into something it shouldn't be.

aCasualGamer5079d ago

They brought back the zombies so they can screw that aspect of Resident Evil up as well.

When in previous games did the zombies ever pick up tools and use them as weapons? WHEN?!

...Oh for the love of god why are people falling for this

They are NOT Zombies...they are improved Las Plagas enemies with the Zombie name attatched to them for Nostalgia reasons.

Zombies can't use guns, weapons or move that fast.

Capcom are just doing this to trick old fans into thinking that they've listened and so they will buy the game.

Snookies125079d ago

Oh trust me, the smart old-school RE fans aren't falling for this. This game is so below my radar I probably wouldn't buy it for 20 bucks new...

fossilfern5079d ago

I still cant get over how QTE filled that demo was at the MS E3 conference! I have Dragons Dogma so when the demo is for the PS3 in September Ill check it out for myself but honestly it looks terrible. Why must Capcom butcher this series!

Pozzle5079d ago

Capcom doesn't seem to get that zombies aren't scary because they move fast, or because they can wield weapons, or because they can plan attacks.

What makes zombies scary is that they're supposed to be mindless killing machines. Mindless killig machines who USED to be human beings. All they want to do is eat and NOTHING will stop them from doing that. Not bullets, not knives, not physical attacks. They'll just keep moving towards you no matter what you throw at them, and before you realize it, those zombies that you thought were slow and un-threatening have you cornered in a room with no escape.

zerocrossing5079d ago

Hey It's been awhile ;D

yeah I agree, Capcom are completely missing the point as to why the franchise had so much appeal in the 1st place, OK granted there has always been the bio-weapons as well, but BUT! Zombies where creepy, because you knew that they where once human too, but have become nothing more than mindless slow moving killing machines intent on giving you a rather nasty hickey.

Capcom: "I know! Lets bring the zombies back, the enemies that everyone loves, even though they are not THE zombies! Fine, but lets take it up a notch! Lets have Leon punching them and laying on his back! Genius!"

helghast1025079d ago

Bringing back "zombies" is quite possible one of the worst things they have done with RE6, it has tricked the fans of this game into believing that it's a true Resident Evil (the same fans who haven't actually played a Resident Evil), it's impossible to argue with them because of their sheer ignorance.

So, I'm done with this (now shitty) franchise, well done Capcom, I hope you enjoy your new audience while it lasts.

Kratoscar20085079d ago (Edited 5079d ago )

It brought back zombies? Because i didnt see a single zombie at all in the demo, if the zombies are those guns wielding enemies then people doesnt know what a zombie is at all (Check previous RE4 tittles to see what a zombie truly is.).

Coolmanrico5079d ago

The zombies wield everything except guns, the things with guns are called J'avo.

Oh….wow, RE6 huh….urm, cool, just what we always wanted.

EW
NOOOOOOOOOO
In what mind make sense to do this with the worse game on the series 🤦🏿

DivineHand125518d ago

I loved Resident Evil 4 back in the day and enjoyed Resident Evil 5 even though I had to do co-op to beat the final boss. Shiva was just too dumb.

Resident Evil 6 on the other hand, was so bad that I stopped playing after an hour in the game. That was before I even played any high-quality single-player games outside of Mass Effect, Portal, and Skyrim. I can't imagine playing RE6 now.

Chances are their next remake will be 5.

Profchaos518d ago

I just don't get why it's already on the platforms via BC unless it's a remake which would piss everyone off as fans are hoping for either the original game or code veronica to get the remake treatment

CrimsonWing69518d ago

Isn’t it already backwards compatible?
