Oh. My. Lord!
It hasn't been ten minutes since I posted my last blog entry on Resident Evil: Retribution, and now I see the official trailer for Resident Evil 6 the game.
I have now officially gone off the deep end.
After the mediocre RE5, I was left wanting something more substantial, new...something with elements that reminded me of what scared and thrilled me about the early games. Way back when, I read rumors that RE6 was to be a reboot of sorts. It would continue to progress later into the RE universe, but it would also implement the use of creepy atmospheric settings that we all enjoyed when we played through RE 1, 2 and 3.
What am I talking about? Raccoon City, or some similar setting. Personally, while I played RE 4 and adored the new game play and the 3rd person behind the back camera angle, the lack of a city setting made it feel strange for me. Don't get me wrong, it was great.
However, it was feeling less like Resident Evil and more like an action/shooter game. RE5 is a clear indication of this.
Anyway, no more talk. Just Enjoy what I believe will be a return to Resident Evil roots. I am really so damn excited and I can't contain my enthusiasm!
I know a lot of what I'm saying may be difficult to understand for non-Resident Evil game fans, but this is impressive. From what I can tell so far, the setting seems to be in a city, a large city at that. Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield for the most part are the primary characters. Again, it is still too early to tell what the story is behind this new chapter and who the real enemy is. Umbrella, Tricell or some other new entity.
One definite plus is that it looks like I'll be walking through long, dark and scary corridors again...and ZOMBIES are back! I just hope that some old Umbrella beasties return as well. A Tyrant here, a Hunter there. Come on, Capcom, do it for me!
More to come when I find or stumble upon it!
Until then, spread the 'Evil' - Resident Evil 6 is almost here!
