The HUD takes some getting used to, as do the controls. You can actually tweak the feel of the controls quite a bit and turn the entire HUD off if you want to be rid of it and try for a more immersive experience. I plan on practicing a bit more on the demo just to get better with the controls.
The first thing you have to understand is that you can't really play this game like Gears of War or Call of Duty, which is why people who make that comparison piss me off a bit. Your actions still have to be very deliberate and you need to be smarter about your movements like in RE4 and 5. Just because your characters are more agile doesn't mean you should be running and rolling all day, taking the game at a slightly slower pace actually lends itself to a more satisfying experience that works well with the controls.

I have played only 4 and 5, and i loved them, LOVED! them. They are not bad games just because they are not like the original RE:s with all of the old console limitations. They are upgraded version of the game, the format you die hard fans are yerning for is no more, and i am sorry for you, you who have sticked with the game for so long and it turns it's back to you to face new fans, like me. Dont hate on me because i like a great game that you don't.
Many of you are stating the death of RE series, and saying that it is sad that the developers are making RE into something that the diehard fans dont want it to be. Really, they are just following their time, and you should understand them, they are trying to appeal to this day&age gamers instead of a marginal fandom of the original RE series, bringing in new fans that have fallen in love with the 'not CoD BB:BC' game play.
Many of you are saying that RE is more like shooter than a survival horror. Really? Maybe, if you compare it to old RE games. But comparing to straight forward FPS games the market is full of nowdays? RE brings in a whole new gaming experience for people who have gotten sick of it. The people who have said that RE is like gears of war, have you really played gow? The controls are totally different in a sense of being more fluid, RE5 felt really stiff with it's controls the first time i laid my hands on it, but after a while i got used to them and all the little tricks that made movements feel more fluid. That stiffness made me shit my pants really many times, and i started to develope strategies on how to move, where to move and when to shoot (since you cant shoot while moving, great factor to a survival horror).
And lastly, people are complaining about the enemies. In my opinion, as a fan of the RE lore, have read a lot even if i have not played the first games through, IT MAKES SENSE! that the virus creates smarter zombies, with all the mutating and stuff. Viruses mutate too, and it fits perfectly with the lore and IMO variating enemies are fun, it is not just running away from packs of zombies of blowing head off from the stray-ones.
These are my fast thoughts after reading the thread for few posts and noticing that most of them are bitching about how RE is not what it used to be.
And on the subject of RE6 cant wait, but i hope that they dont make us switch from story to story in the middle, i'd really like it if you can play each storyline to the end as a whole. that way it wouldn't suck even if you didn't like some of the factors that other than your favourite storyline has to offer.
Fans of the original format, dont hate on me but i represent the new generation of RE fandom. Adapt to change or switch, since it seems that this 3rd person shit is here to stay.
To touch on one of your latter points, the game will actually let you play through each campaign on it's own all the way through. RE6 is basically three games intertwined and rolled into one, it's one of the most content rich games of it's type from what I've seen.

The thing is i have no problem with cod or gow influence but they change the whole 'survival horror' element since RE5 (well, since the dude left capcom). My problem with the hud is the whole thing just doesnt suit a RE game, especially like that countdown of the distance to your destination, like, dude, they just take away everything that build up the tension and the potential moments of 'OMG i am so scared what if some **** jumps out at that corner?!' (which happened a tonne in old RE until 5).
Personally I have moved on since RE5, bad script on Jill is just unforgivable. This is coming from a huge RE fan who bought every damn RE game prior RE5. Heard revelations is good i may play it on my brother's 3ds when i am free.

You can turn all of that off though and play the game with absolutely no HUD like RE1-CV. Already responded to the, "It's not RE anymore" comments a couple of times in this thread though, so I'm not really going to touch on that.

Is good to know that and i actually hope the final product would convince me to buy it. Ada's video looks really good.
Just watched the RE: Damnation. I am going to give it 12 out of 10. I enjoy cheesy RE story like this so much (RE:Degeneration was very good too). The quality of the CGI is very impressive i have to add. And it made me wanna play RE6 -_-
2. I liked Leons gameplay. Felt closer to the original survival horror style.
3. Leon is still a badass.
4. Not sure what to think about Jake. I guess it is a different style of gameplay with more melee options.
5. Chris is what I expected with all the shooting. Obvious what campaign i'm not doing first.
6. In general I like the idea of having different stories (with different styles) where the players run into eachother at different points and contribute different parts to the story. Now to see if they pull it off well.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Degeneration but Damnation was absolutely phenomenal. The scene at the end where Leon is down to his knife. The expression on his face when he actually draws his knife is so badass.
It looks like all the people use the same weapons? It looks like everyone has a 909 pistol or whatever how does that work with the whole upgrading scheme, is each pair going to have their own exclusive upgrades or whatnot

They don't all have the same weapons. Leon actually has a different pistol even in the demo, he uses the wing-shooter. You can upgrade specific aspects of your character such as their damage with weapons I think, instead of upgrading the weapons themselves.
rather harsh review -personally i have no problem with "too many button sequences" as i find it keeps me more interested and paying more attention then other games -the camera issues that he described seem kind of wonky and sound rather detrimental but who knows -he complains about too many doors to open in a RE game. really?
I feel like I am the only diehard long time fan who also likes the new one. hahaha. RE: Remake was by far my favorite game in the series, followed by RE 2 then Resident evil 4. I love all of them.
I dont see why it has to be a battle between the two.
Also above, that review is horrible. I feel like gives it such a low rating simply because its more of the same + a few changes. Having played it, there is really no reason to see it as much different than RE5 except longer, and a few control changes. Honestly if you like RE 4-5 you will like this one.
I thought this review was much more reasonable and on par. Which basically says the game trys to take new strides, and has some great moments, but ultimately isnt as good as its predecessors
I plan on getting this game. RE 5 was the best one in the series and I enjoyed it a ton playing co-op with a friend. Expecting to love RE 6, cause a lot of the negative opinions from 6 are from people that didn't like RE 5, which was a fantastic game. I also don't mind qte and love cutscenes, with the mgs series being one of my fav series. 40 min epic cutscenes? Yes please!
I was thinking of getting it, so I started watching on a twitch.tv stream. Here is my initial impression (watching Leon's): (Possible spoilers I guess)
-7 generic npc companions have already died. -There is a cemetery level where the virus reanimates skeletons (since that makes sense) -Even in the cut scenes, the other characters are idiots. There is one part where this guy goes out of his way to drive over an infected, and ends up losing control of his vehicle and plunging over the edge (where you miraculously survive a 40 foot drop). Another involves a character refusing to let go of his gun and he goes flying to his death, -Every time you die, this one chick screams "Leoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon" -Speaking of Leon, he takes up half the screen. -Leon also happens to be the horror campaign. The campaign so far has involved almost no horror elements, unless you count the teammate AI. -Voice acting is a bit better than previous REs, but there is a cut scene every 5 seconds or so.
So...I don't think I'll be getting this one.
Edit: oh, I should also add at one point you have a dual to the death with the virgin mary. I'm not even joking.
IamPink I believe you wrote a lengthy post on RE 1-CV fans and RE 4/5 fans. You made some assumptions and claims. I direct you to mastergriggys post right above mine.
I grew up playing Resident Evil. They were fucking scary. And they were hard. RE4 was fun and silly and easy. RE5 was silly and easy and kinda fun. The game mastergriggy described is exactly where all of us that played RE1 or 2 when they came out saw the direction of the series heading. Is it fine that they've stopped making classic Resident Evil games? Sure. It was a good series and I'm happy with how much fun I had while it lasted. But in all honesty- these are just games set in the RE canon. They're not Resident Evil games.
Imagine it this way- The next MGS game is a full on Call of Duty shooter. There are "stealth" elements mentioned on the box but when you get to it it's just getting in a box for a heavily sarcastic scripted set of events.
That's Resident Evil 4/5/6. It's not really scary and it doesn't have anything to do with zombies anymore. Just crazy, zany, marketable fun time.
Oh yeah one final thing: I'll never be able to purchase this on Xbox or PS3. Every time I look at the cover I see someone giving head to a giraffe. I could never play a game after laughing at that ridiculous cover art. I'll buy it next year when it goes on steam sale.
