Yes, you are correct that Degeneration was after Resident Evil 4. In this case, Resident Evil 6 is 10 years after the Raccoon City incident in 1998. Resident Evil 5 took place in 2009, but who knows, maybe the game's events might overlap into the 5th game.

I meant Steve mutating and then returning to his human form. I'm not buying that he rejected the virus, because the virus had already affected him to the point that he had changed form.

In RE2, William Birkin mutated several times, but there was always a progression that moved forwards. He never shifted between a human and monster form.

RE1 was my first game in the series and I played them in order. What drew me in was how realistic the games were, especially RE1. That game described a very realistic scenario of biological research going wrong, and the following games are reasonably realistic follow up scenarios. This is why the games were so scary, because the situations don't seem that far-fetched, which makes it easier to imagine. I don't agree at all with the ppl who say that the story was bad. The acting and scripting, yes, but I really liked the story.

Why I reject RE4 is simply because it drifted too far away from the RE story, and the gameplay is also less interesting to me. I prefer the strategic element of the old games.

Games cost money to make, having a viable adjustment to your design to make more money and please more people isn't really sad. Resident Evil 5 was the most financially successful game in the series, and it was a damn good game too. I see no reason to continue advancing the franchise in new directions, particularly when it makes sense with the story.

how come that 80-90% of the people posting here dislike re5 ?
it probably was successful because resident evil build a big name because of great games in the past. (same like cod for example)
and the movies are prob attracting new people too, people that maybe never played an old re and know how an re can feel like.
so that doesn't mean the last game is the best one to advance from just because it was successful.

Capcom UK's head of marketing, Dave Turner, pointed out to MCV ahead of the Resident Evil 6 reveal that action-focused Resident Evil 5 is in fact the series' biggest seller, and even revealed aspirations to attract Call of Duty players.

Asked why the series has taken a more action-focussed stance - specifically with Operation Raccoon City - Turner said:

"We've seen the popularity of Resident Evil increase massively as the series became more action oriented - Resident Evil 5 is the biggest seller in the series. So, it makes sense for us to follow this action area more fully."

He added of Operation Raccoon City: "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."

For those who don't do gaming news past 10pm, Capcom released the first Resident Evil 6 trailer late last night, and initial feedback from readers has certainly been mixed.

Some CVG forum goers called the reveal "actually amazing," while others hit the comments section to express their disappointment that Resi 6 looks to be "a full on action game now".

Got an opinion? Let us know in the comments. Otherwise, check out Mike Jackson's Resident Evil 6 trailer dissection, which includes a whopping 101 screenshots.

Resident Evil 6 is out on November 20, 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC

Personally I think it's good that RE is taking a more action direction than horror. I mean let's face it RE was NEVER a scary series, especially when compared to a series like Dead Space. But as an action game i think the series is quite fun and games like RE4 and RE5 imo were very entertaining and fun.

The trailer looked epic to game and I can't wait to play it.

Video game forums tend to breed a fair bit of negativity. It's nothing new or surprising. The most reliable indicators to companies is sales and reviews, Resident Evil 5 had solid reviews and sold more units than any other game in the franchise, that's what matters to them, that's the only solid number.

I personally enjoyed the game, so the rest of the negativity is irrelevant to me. The transition into more fluid controls is a natural advancement of the genre, there appear to be plenty of dark and creepy locations in Leon's portion of the trailer as well. Trying to maintain horror with a fixed camera and rigid character movement makes little sense, particularly for characters who are supposed to be experienced combatants, the games evolution makes sense.
