Resident Evil 6 (uncut) - [PlayStation 3] (Video Game)

Customer Review

This game has so divided the opinions of gamers in a very short time: for some it is the definitive end of the survival horror Resident Evil rooted, for others it's just a fun game. And almost always can be said during an argument: both parties have somewhere right. The "old" Resident Evil style of RE 0-3, Code Veronica and the excellent remake of Gamecubes will no longer find fans well so quickly. The reason is banal: sales and money.
As an employee of Capcom already has indicated, the "Survival Horror" genre is seen as a niche business, which has only comparatively relatively few fans. Compared with successful mainstream titles like COD, Battlefield and other shooters that are now times played by a huge number of avid gamer, a development of the flagship such as RE for a niche division is not really a good business foundation. Capcom understandably wants a big piece of the cake and dollar adapts so that the new generation of gamers to mainstream.
The old gamers and fans of the series disturbs this course enormous, but we must not forget that the younger players often do not know the old title and maybe only from RE4 (which, although at that time was, but ultimately also revolutionary and outstanding clear went more toward action than Survival) are entered in the series. Likewise, Capcom has recognized how euphoric RE4 was taken and has logically tried to build on this success and build on it.

I write all this that the innocent or ignorant reader understands why this game was generally rated as poor. The fact is that a lot of old fans RE6 curse, because it's not that's what they understand by RE and how they remember it. So they have indeed partly right, because one thing is absolutely certain:

RE6 has nothing to do with "Survival Horror". RE6 tries clearly an action blockbuster to be (similar to the sadly deteriorating RE movies). Again, and this should now read all fans of "old" RE exactly: RE6 is a classic third-person action shooter, similar to Gears of War, not a survival horror more; RE6 has about as much horror as the zombie mode from CoD Black Ops, namely no. Sure, there are zombies, ambience, nasty opponents, but that does not survival horror from: In REmake example was any zombie a deadly threat (especially if he could as a Crimson Head resurrected) and without ammunition they had a serious problem. In RE6 one enters now the undead stinkers Tell roundhouse kick the beet from the fuselage, which is often more effective to use as his firearm. A feeling of tightness or permanent danger comes so on at any time.

Short: RE6 is not the expected highlight of the fans and is now torn in many reviews. This is understandable, but ultimately a bit unfair. Of course the disappointment is great, but a game to evaluate just about bad because it's not that's what I expected, is not objective. One thing should be remembered: RE6 has indeed with the "old" RE only in common the name, but in itself is not a bad game. Of course, all this is as always subjective, but that RE6 has even received some 45% or less in reviews, I think is exaggerated.

For money you get here eventually a lot of content on offer (more than 20 hours and more, which no longer is today with God of course) and who is on action, will MMN very well entertained. In addition very good Coop and an improved Mercenaries mode. Technically, the game may well be proud; there is no reference, but also looks far from as bad.
Of course, it also has weaknesses, particularly noted here are the partially hakelige control (which is Capcom probably never get to the series), and the shaky and sometimes extremely confusing camera. Nevertheless, the game leaves me with a positive impression, because I was in total well entertained and that's ultimately what I value lay in a game. Who wants to play a decent action title and it sounds like crashing and leaves, which is with RE6 but well served; there are far poorer representatives of the genre. I can give the game with a clear conscience a 75/100. It is by no means a pioneer or legend has potential, it is simply not true but to dub as "scrap". It is solid; no more, no less.

Nevertheless RE6 will continue to stir up emotions. The old fans will probably never forgive RE6 that it has its roots swept so extreme and probably finally the back.

Summary:

+ Tons of content for the money: three regular and two additional unlockable campaigns to tens Extra Unlockables
+ Very good and more fun co-op multiplayer
+ Improved Mercenaries Mode
+ Movie empires staging with a lot of action
+ Great graphics and atmospheric
+ Relatively much variety through different focus of each campaign (Horror, Shooter, Melee)

- "Jack of All Trades, Master of None"; RE6 shines really in any of the above-mentioned priorities
- Sometimes cumbersome and getting used to control
- The camera is a joke
- No genuine RE and thus no more survival horror. This can lead to misunderstandings and the purchaser may be disappointed or feel misled if he expected something else.
