MCP: CAPCOM CONFIRMS RESIDENT EVIL 6

I had thought the plan was to reboot the whole series for this one. Oh well.

The co-op aspect pretty much killed 5 for me (in single player), but online/split screen it was still pretty fun. We'll see.

It looks pretty decent, and it's coming out this year to boot? (Yeah, right). Color me interested.

I'd heard that as well, but I sort of have to give them credit for avoiding the easy fan-bait reboot and sticking to the sequels. Good point about the split-screen, I had a lot of fun playing it with a buddy, but it also killed the tension entirely. In an ideal world I'd love to see separate single and co-op campaigns (multiplayer can fuck right off), but I wouldn't mind nixing the partner for a return to Resident Evil 4 quality.

Yeah no tension whatsoever. Playing single player left you with a competent but often brain-dead AI buddy though, which almost killed that aspect for me. If they have the same stages for both single and co-op, but with some switched around puzzles or something, I could deal.

The AI was pretty rock stupid, but give them a sniper rifle and they were like the Rain Man of murdering people (which goes right back to the whole "no tension" thing, but at least it made the game playable).

This looks pretty good so far. I avoided playing Resident Evil 5 because of the forced coop and the reviews were pretty terrible for it. So glad real zombies are going to be back in this one. But Resident Evil 4 is still a classic. It looks to be at least going to some aspects of what made the older games so fun. Hopefully it can successfully merge the action and the horror.

...Capcom, you had me at "Leon."

This game is going to be directly compared to Dead Space 2 for me.  If it doesn't one up Dead Space, I have very little interest in playing another Resident Evil 5 with it's incredibly aged mechanics.
