Capcom is rereleasing Resident Evil 6, 5, and 4, in that order, over the course of the year. Rereleases for 4 and 5 make sense as the former game is considered one of the best ever and the prior a flawed, but enjoyable follow up. Resident Evil 6 shouldn’t have been released initially, let alone again in 2016.
There…
Announced this morning by Capcom, the fourth, fifth, and sixth Resident Evils will come to current-gen consoles throughout this year. Trailer above.
The Korean Ratings board, known to leak unannounced games, has listings for an Xbox One and a PS4 version of Resident Evil 6. Kotaku reached out to Capcom, who replied, “No announcements have been made.”
Over at Complex Gaming they're having some fun adding "honest" blurbs to popular game covers, asking "What if games told the truth before you dropped $60?" Honestly, I'd probably buy them for the blurbs alone.
Resident Evil is old enough to vote as of March. (That means its 18 years old). Its fanbase also has aged commensurately, Capcom said in a recent investor guide. This is not really a good thing, the company delicately points out.
In Japan, taxis are typically black. Sometimes, they're white or even yellow, but generally, people think of them as being dark-colored and dull looking. These taxis, however, are anything but.
Which video game has the most gruesome death scenes? Surely Mortal Kombat 9 is a contender, in particular Noob Saibot's first fatality called "Make a Wish." It's so ridiculous it stands out despite Mortal Kombat's already high level of gore.
The PC version of Resident Evil 6 has gotten some lovely updates since the title hit desktops last year, like the free upcoming crossover with Left 4 Dead 2. But players who’ve been trying to kill the bio-organic weapons in Capcom’s action game have been complaining of crippling bugs that stop the game from running…
Still have Resident Evil 6? The Xbox 360 version's getting a bunch of new multiplayer modes today.
You'll be able to download the PC version of Resident Evil 6 on 03/22/13. Specs and full details here.
Capcom's getting ready to mutate the multiplayer experiences in its latest Resident Evil games, with modes that will have players hunting and battling each other in a variety of different ways. From the press release:
While Resident Evil 6 might not have been the best survival horror game, it sure did have nice hairdos and cool looking firearms. That's probably why Airsoft gun maker Tokyo Marui is releasing a customized version of the SIG P226 that Leon Kennedy wields in the game.
If you've played Resident Evil 6, you might have noticed that "Yashichi" appears as a TV brand. Yashichi isn't a real brand. It's an in-joke. Ha ha.
In a very unusual move, Capcom is releasing a free Resident Evil 6 patch in mid-December that will unlock the Ada Wong campaign—previously available when you beat all the other campaigns—for players right away.
Despite taking a beating from some critics (including two of our own) Capcom's Resident Evil 6 appears to be a hit in Japan, nearly doubling the sales of Resident Evil 5 in the same time period.
While the internet has seen no shortage of goofy fan-made zombie and Resident Evil homages, this one still made me chuckle. It comes to us from the mad folks at Rocket Jump—it was directed by Des Dolly and sports some damned impressive production values.
It's been a rough year for Capcom with on-disc DLC. Fans angry about unavailable, locked content included on their discs at launch have been vocally criticizing the publisher for the practice. After outrage about on-disc DLC included with Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom said they would be re-evaluating the practice.
Here's a more than 4,000-word lament of Resident Evil 6 from a very disappointed Resident Evil super-fan, @cvxfreak.
