Wait so is it Ashley or Sherry?

Wait so is it Ashley or Sherry?

Seems to be a new one

Wait so is it Ashley or Sherry?

Knowing Capcom, likely Ashley. I wonder why it's so difficult to give us some closure to beloved characters? Especially ones they've revisited recently in spin-off games or mercenaries modes?

Because Capcom sometimes gets a kick out of pissing of fans. Just like there being no form Mega Man in U/MvC3.

No there was, in Frank West, Zero, and a Days of Future Past poster in the background. Capcom Troll Percentage = Over 9000!

It wasn't the concept of co-op that was weak in RE 5, it was that the co-op was poorly implemented. The extent of their vision of what co-op is was nothing more than giving each other leg ups and opening doors together. Like I said in that previous post, there is a lot you can do with co-op.

I had a lot of fun playing F.E.A.R. 3 in co-op with my friend and even though it was largely an action game, the horror sections were enhanced massively in co-op. Being scared with a friend is so much more satisfying than being scared on your own. You feed off each others fear and anxiety and it just heightens everything. Your friend might see a shadow flicker and yell or you might see Alma briefly while climing a ladder and lose your **** but then your friend didn't see it which actually makes them more scared than you.

That whole concept is a gold mine of oppurtunity for games and has barely been scratched. If it was done well and cleverly designed, it could well be something to set RE apart from other horror games, giving them something unique to make them one of the top horror series again.

That's what I meant by s**tty design lol, they didn't even try to do anything special with it. It's like they saw how successful Gears of War was and thought, hey, maybe co-op is a good idea! And they stopped thinking about taking it any further. Either way they seem to be sticking with the new action/horror direction so I hope they get a lot of cash out of their new fanbase. I'll enjoy Revelations for being a taste of the classic formula but I am sadface about this.

 

[Nathan]

Let's see what Capcom will do with this. Leon's story could very well go back to the roots like Revelations did, and that even uses the RE4&5 gameplay and a minimal amount of puzzles. Like you can just shoot doors open instead of having to look for a damn key.

 

[Master Chief]

If they actually make it so the co-op campaign is a separate story in itself I'll probably change my mind and buy it on release day... but I doubt it.

 

[Soapy]

They talk about RE6 in the first episode of the official Capcom podcast. I don't think it's up on iTunes yet, but you can find it on Capcom Unity if you're interested.

 

[Nathan]

Listening to it now. Hope they'll reveal something new. No matter how small.

 

[Project862006]

After announcing Resident Evil 6, more details have leaked out about the game.

Andriasang is reporting that Leon and Chris will both have new partners. While it's said that Leon's partner will be a security worker named Helena Harper, Chris' partner is unknown.

Also, we've found out the name of the enemy above, and it is Javo. Javo is reported to have an "even great impact than the zombies."

There will also be a third protagonist, but all that's known is that he's "the man who's told to save the world."

 

[Nathan]

Well, that was a waste of time. Nothing new on the Podcast. =/

 

[Nathan]

Found this on Capcom Unity, tell me what you notice.

 

[Benstamania]

I still think the 3rd character is Hunk.. More so since he's immune to the T/G Virus.

Kotaku agrees with me.

Um... Leather jacket?

 

[Benstamania]

Wait.. Is that the RCPD?

 

[Nathan]

The Hunk theory is still completely shaky. The only thing both share is a mercenary background. They look nothing alike, seriously, I don't see how the Epilogue art of Hunk looks anything like the guy. Hunk in ORC sounds completely different. With two Capcom games being in the works that are yet to be released, you'd think they'd use the same voice actor for the same character. The new guy is cocky, Hunk is cold and calculating. Seriously, unless they decided to give Hunk a complete personality overhaul and re-design, I can't see how it could possibly be him.

Um... Leather jacket?

Dude's dual wielding guns.

 

[Benstamania]

I think that guy and Hunk look a good bit alike actually.. Not sure how they look completely different.. I mean, obviously other people see the resemblance too.

Hunk in the ORC videos is also talking though a mask and maybe over a com unit which can totally distort ones voice.

I don't see any more facts pointing to it being Alex Wesker.. Other than the whole "being related" thing.. And that could mean anything.

No one knows though. The Alex Wesker claims have no more ground to them than the Hunk claims.

We'll just wait and see.. I think it would be great though if the man once code named Mr. Death became the man that saved the world.

 

[Nathan]

Because all they have to go by is a low resolution picture of a character who appears to have short hair. And even if the voice is simply distorted because of the gasmask, their personalities are completely different. Then you have him handing everyone their asses barehanded and taking on an helicopter head on. I see nothing in his mannerism that even remotely points to Hunk. If it were Hunk, he'd be running around slitting throats and gunning enemies down with a submachine gun.

Answer my question nathan answer it.

I asked you a question nathan .

Nathan what do you think of matt's idea on Nicholai as a villain? or working with Hunk to give the heroes of Res trouble for the foreseeable future?

jebus it shouldn't take this long to get an answer out of ya sheesh.

 

[Nathan]

Why do you even care about my opinion? >_>

 

[Soapy]

Damn it, Nathan. ANSWER THE MAN'S QUESTION!

 

[zenith16]

we were looking for new villains cause of your not liking things nathan . Your in control of things . cause of how you reacted. so your opinions overly important cause you wanted other villains other then albert wesker to move thing s forward. So as I asked, please answer. cause it's cause of you these events should be headed to the future. lol

Now we want to know

Nathan what do you think of matt's idea on Nicholai as a villain? or working with Hunk to give the heroes of Res trouble for the foreseeable future?

 

[Nathan]

 

[zenith16]

lol that's what you get for making your opinon so strongly made on the issue about a viilain like albert wesker returning and wantin a new one or more . Your the boss on the issue. every thing must be comfirmed by you. With great (complaining) power comes great (choosing) responsibility. other wise you shouldn't have complained the way you did the first time around on the issue.

Any way we just want to know. if you like the idea or not.

4th time

Nathan what do you think of matt's idea on Nicholai as a villain? or working with Hunk to give the heroes of Res trouble for the foreseeable future?

Answer it nathan answer.
