No Hope Left For Resident Evil 6?

Might it be time to bring the Resident Evil saga to a conclusion and reboot it for future games? The teaser website for Resident Evil 6 is called nohopeleft.com and whilst there may be little to no hope left for the characters in Resident Evil, it certainly seems the players have every hope of playing new Resident Evil titles for years to come.

The franchise of Resident is largely irrelevant in a gaming landscape already packed full of zombie-blasters and third-person adventures.it would now be best if it were laid to rest once and for all this franchise SHM....

NYC_Gamer5206d ago

Why would Capcom kill off a franchise that sells millions of copies?

RedDead5206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

I disagree, don't buy it if you don't want to.

Edit-
Oh Fluffy? And what if it's like RE4? I love the way people act as if RE5 will represent RE6. And completely forget about RE4...like it didn't exist and didn't get all those awards etc. I'll buy it either way so long as it's good, I don't care if it's like RE1 or RE4. Just be a good game

And for all the zombie games there are out there, none of them play like RE4-5 do. What RE6 is gonna play like? Who knows? Looks like RE4 with a cover system and some new tricks

fluffydelusions5206d ago

Meh. I'll only buy if it reverts back to RE ala PS1 style atmosphere etc. If it's like RE5 I'll pass.

KwietStorm_BLM5205d ago

I've always been confused as to why people didn't like 5 but loved 4. RE4 was the beginning of 'the change' if you ask me. I don't care about awards or reviews, nothing about 4 felt like Resident Evil to me. lol Las Plataea. Once you move on from the village area early in the game, the atmosphere didn't even exist for me.

King_many_layers5205d ago

@storm.

People hated 5 predominantly becuase of the length of the game, the pacing, the atmosphere and the focus of action over all else.

Re4 could take a person roughly 12 hours to complete if you were playing quite fast. Re5 however could take 3 and a half hours if played fast.

4 actually took it's time introduce you to the enemies and the events that were unfolding. 5 told you the same things as 4 but condensed 2 hours down to 10 minutes. There weren't very many occasions in where you had simply hoardes of enemies in 4 unlike 5 .

The atmosphere never once managed to capture the same feelings that 4 could bring out. There was nothing like the village at night or meeting the regenerator for the first time.

Pacing was the big one for me out of those. I took about 20 hours on 4 just taking my time and about hours on 5.

"I love the way people act as if RE5 will represent RE6. And completely forget about RE4...like it didn't exist and didn't get all those awards etc"

Maybe because 4 balanced out action and horror, yeah it wasn't as scary as RE 1-3 but it still had some scares in there. It was perfect how they managed to equal out the action and horror without over shadowing the other one.

The reason people think RE5 represents RE6 is obvious, it's because from what we've heard/saw so far it's clear that Capcom havent listened to what fans complained about in RE5, instead of fixing the problems they've added onto them.

The Zombies aren't normal Zombies...they still can use guns. The whole gun thing was one of the reasons people wanted Zombies back in the first place.

Co-Op is even bigger now...this kills the horror straight away

Instead of one character, alone survivng we have 3...one of them who is probably just another thrown in character. Why keep adding useless characters we probably won't like, we have the new mercenary, his partner people think is Ashley, we have Leons new partner and Chris new parnter aswell. Why didn't they just include Barry Burton as Chris Partner and have Rebbeca Chambers with Leon. As for the new guy....well they shouldn't of even included another guy who relies on melee attacks, this is RE not Tekken

Lack of fan favorites RE characters...I mean I like Chris but we've seen him in 3 RE games now

Action is even a bigger part now

They said they were going towards the COD audience.

With 3 characters only one has the horror feel, why do three when they could of stuck to one...Leon

I could go on...

There are allot of Zombie games right now. But that said they all kinda suck. Never liked L4D or Dead Island. Both are FPS games, which limit gameplay allot.

Resident Evil might not be scary but it is fun, but it never has been scary, so no loss there.

The game never got scary because I always think of this.

Any "horror" game that gives the stamp of approval to that opening, was not trying to be that serious to begin with!

But I can't wait for RE6, looks good so far, and they are actually trying to advance the gameplay.

-MD-5205d ago

It's called a budget. A low budget intro to a game doesn't automatically make that game not scary.

Go play the remake on gamecube then talk to me.

NovusTerminus5205d ago

Stop assuming.

I HAVE played the remake of it. I have played / seen most RE games, Minus Revelations which I am working on getting.

Maybe I am jaded and numb, but I have not been scared by any game or movie. The closest a game has ever come to scaring my was Silent Hill 2,

KwietStorm_BLM5205d ago

Never been scary? How old were you when you played RE1?

Tanir5205d ago

i agree, dead island, l4d and all other zombie games out suck pretty bad, resident evil is a great series, even RE5 destroys all the other zombie games, the only one that holds a candle to RE is deadspace 2. tho its sttill not scary it was still pretty fun, just needs more enemy types and useful weapons

GillHarrison5205d ago

No hope left for a game that nobody has even played much less seen yet?

jay25205d ago

No time soon, you'll see RE6 will sell Millions literally.

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

1Victor499d ago

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

DivineHand125499d 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.

Profchaos499d 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

CrimsonWing69499d ago

Isn’t it already backwards compatible?
