Resident Evil 6

 

3 years ago Resident Evil 5 was released with mixed feelings and complaints were made about the control system and left fans worried about the new direction the series was heading in. Fast forward to October 2012 and we have the sequel, Resident Evil 6.

With the return of many familiar faces, Resident Evil 6 allows players to control 3 main characters that serve as the games main protagonists. Resident Evil 6 will allow players to select between three scenarios with connected storylines, each with their own intentionally different design. 

1st Scenario = Leon S. Kennedy partnered with Helena Harper

2nd Scenario = Chris Redfield partnered with Piers Nivans

3rd Scenario = Jake Muller partnered with Sherry Birkin

Fans of the original PlayStation Resident Evil games will not be disappointed as Leon's scenario will bring back the horror which made this series famous for. The helpless feeling of being stuck in confined buildings with hordes of zombies attacking you are present again in RE6 and so are the fun puzzles!! The opening of doors and watching it slowly slide open not knowing what will jump at you from the other side is always a plus when playing horror games.

A 4th Scenario is unlocked after the player finishes the first three scenarios and the player gets to control Ada Wong. With a completely new control and inventory system, RE6 has a development staff of more than 600, making it Capcom's biggest production to date.

One of the new features of RE6 is the cross multiplayer feature where 4 players can play together online to kill a boss or progress further into the story. When players reach a certain point of the game, 2 players from a particular scenario will be paired with another 2 players from another scenario.

Primary enemies include zombies and the newly introduced J'avo. Resident Evil 6 is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 on 28th September 2012 in Australia, 2nd October 2012 in the US and in Europe while Japanese fans get it on the 4th October 2012. Also it is scheduled to be released on Microsoft Windows but as of now there is no confirmed released date.
