I haven’t been as big a fan of Capcom’s Resident Evilsurvival horror game franchise (weird considering that zombie fiction and entertainment is like catnip to me), but the upcoming and latest entry in the series has me excited. Resident Evil 6 looks to return the series to its zombie roots after spending the last two titles veering away from it.
While the gameplay still looks to be just something upgraded and tweaked from games past the story itself looks like something that I would find interesting as it moves the danger from being localized to something more global in scope. I’m really hoping that this title brings me back to the franchise which was great in the beginning then began to lose steam and ideas in it’s latest offerings.
This latest trailer takes a page out of the Halofranchise’s marketing book by making it live-action. It might be only 90 seconds but getting a glimpse of how a world reacts to the onset of a zombie apocalypse makes for a nice, brief piece of entertainment.
Resident Evil 6 is set for an October 6 release for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC.
This is sweet, thanks for sharing. 🙂 Between this, Skyrim and Borderlands 2, the live action commercials are getting pretty good.
I’ve loved Resident Evil since the first, and part of me actually misses the static camera feel of the came. There was a real sense of fear in that. Resident Evil 4 was good, especially with the chainsaw guys, but the change of the direction was a little weird for me. By the time you reached 5, everything was so different. The Dead Space series has kind of taken over for my favorite horror survival game right now. I’m not super excited for RE6, but will probably get it just to find out where the story goes. 🙂
