    Resident Evil 6 E3 2012 Trailer

    Resident Evil 6 E3 2012 Trailer

    Capcom has released a new trailer for Resident Evil 6. Head over to the bottom to watch the live gameplay demo at this year’s E3 press conference.

    E3 attendees will be able to see the true scope of Resident Evil 6 with a demo featuring three different missions and distinct gameplay experiences available in both single and co-op modes. Each mission is taken from one of the game’s separate stories with a different protagonist as the lead.

    Play as Leon S. Kennedy alongside Helena Harper and explore the dark confines of the Ivy University campus and the zombies that fill its hallways. Select Chris Redfield’s mission and head to China for an intense encounter against the deadly J’avo with BSAA colleague Piers Nivans on the rooftops of Lanshiang. The third mission in the E3 demo shifts the action to the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and sees Jake Muller and Sherry Berkin trying to escape the relentless pursuit of the Ustanak, one of the new B.O.W.’s being introduced in Resident Evil 6.

    Over the course of Resident Evil 6 players will experience how both the stories and the action of each protagonist and their partners cross and interweave ahead of the final climax in China.

  • Resident Evil 6 New Details Emerged; Three Distinct Campaigns

    After the leaked second trailer from Capcom’s Captivate event yesterday, new details emerged on Resident Evil 6. The game will be split into three distinct campaigns that can be played in any order. Leon’s story takes place in the US, Chris’ in China and new man Jake’s in Idonia.

    Jake Mueller: son of Albert Wesker and a new character joining the gang, starts off in the fictional Eastern European nation where he was born. Mueller’s blood holds the cure for Resident Evil 6’s new C-Virus and can also make short work of the T, G, or t+G virus too, which makes him a very important figure in the game.

    Sherry Birkin in Resident Evil 6

    Sherry Birkin: an all grown up, who makes the jump from Resident Evil 2 loaded with her own share of immunities. Sherry has not only managed to avoid being captured by the US government but she’s also managed to keep the G-Virus in check too.

    Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 6

    Chris Redfield: his campaign is closer to Resident Evil 5’s all-action shootouts, except this time he’s swapping the streets of Africa for the fictional city of Lanshiang, which has suffered the full force of a C-Virus attack and now houses a population of mutated civilians. Chris is buddied up with Piers Nivens, who fans of the Resident Evil manga might know as “Beards Nevence”.

    C- Virus: The new C strain mixes the worst of the T-Virus, G-Virus, and Las Plagas to create a whole new breed of horrible monsters. The infected enter a Chrysalid state and then emerge in unpredictable new forms. Some are the good old shambling zombies of old while others are a little smarter and can use melee weapons.

    The worst of the bunch are transformed into J’Avos and are soldier-like in their behaviour, can repair limbs their damaged limbs much like Resident Evil 4’s Plagas Regenerators, and – terrifyingly – can even use firearms and other complex weapons.

    Leon Kennedy: his campaign sounds most promising taking place at the Tall Oaks university campus where a bio-terror attack has mutated the student population and zombified the President of the United States, which leaves floppy-haired Leon with no choice but to put a bullet between the Commander in Chief’s eyes.

    This part of the game introduces a more dynamic camera to the series which is said to seamlessly blend gameplay into scripted events.

    “We’re really trying to recreate the horrific atmosphere fans remember from the first Resident Evils and going for more gothic horror feel for Leon’s part of the story,” says Sasaki. “But usually we left every big story moment to the big cut-scenes. This time we wanted to bring that home to the player and make that more immediate. We tried to add those elements to the game itself and bring the player closer to those dramatic elements.”

    Speaking to NowGamer Eiichiro explained that the complete Resident Evil 6 experience will eat up around 30 hours, making it Capcom’s longest survival horror title to date.

    “The three characters each have their own story and you can choose whichever one you want and play that story, experience that character’s story,” he said.

    The producer indicated there’s likely to be some shared content within these campaigns by alluding to the fact that each one three stories eventually overlap, with the three main characters eventually all meeting up in China.

    Resident Evil 6

    Resident Evil 6

    After the game debut trailer we are bringing you a few bits about Resident Evil 6 from this week’s Japanese famitsu Magazine who has conducted an interview with executive producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, director Eiichiro Sasaki, and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi:

    1. The game’s development started about two years back.
    2. The President shown in the trailer – the one who attacks Leon – is the president who followed Ashley’s dad.
    3. The game is 50% complete.
    4. The game continues with the flow of Resident Evil 4 and 5 while also giving a bit more feeling of horror. The game is not a return to the basics of the series.
    5. Main Characters including Leon and Chris who are veterans, a third character is being included in order to have someone younger people can sympathize with. Leon and Chris have a strong sense of justice, and in contrast to this they wanted to have someone who’s more of a hero for the now.
    6. The third main character will also have a partner character.
    7. The zombies are back, but now they run, jump at you, even use weapons and as such are different from those encountered in previous games.”
    8. For the J’avo, its named by the BSAA after the Serbian word for ‘demon’, the first J’avo made an appearance in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe about six months before the action of Resident Evil 6. The J’avo still exhibit certain human elements – such as the ability to understand speech, work together as a group and use weapons – but they are also incredibly aggressive and a number of their actions have regressed to pure instinct.
    9. “When a J’avo takes damage it has the ability to regenerate itself. However if it is receives major damage then it will mutate that affected body part into a number of varied forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability.”
    10. One of the game’s primary locations, shown in the trailer, is the city of Lanshiang in China. This is a fake city, but the staff placed an importance on delivering the right atmosphere, so they traveled to a certain city for research.
    11. They’re aiming to make it a Resident Evil that is enjoyable to control, with a revamped control scheme. You’ll be able to move slowly left and right while holding your gun, and perform such moves as 180 degree turn, quick front/back/side evade, covering and so fort

    Capcom also provided a few character profiles:

    Leon S. Kennedy

    Following the Raccoon City incident Leon was recruited as a US government agent by none other than Adam Benford, who would later become the President of the United States. Ever since the nightmare that was Raccoon City Leon has made it his life’s work to eradicate bioterrorism.

    Helena Harper

    Like Leon, she is also a government agent, but was in the process of transferring to the Secret Service to become one of the President’s personal bodyguards. In the announcement trailer it is Helena who admits to Leon that she is the one responsible for this incident.

    Chris Redfield

    The ex-S.T.A.R.S member who continued the fight against bioterrorism as the leader of the BSAA underwent a personal trauma some six months prior to the events depicted in RE6. In spite of this he has rejoined his BSAA colleagues in China to uncover a major bioterrorist attack.

    The mysterious third protagonist

    We’re still trying to track down his real identity but we do know this man is a mercenary currently engaged in a bloody conflict in Eastern Europe where reports confirm that B.O.W.s are increasingly being used. One day, he’s told that he is the man to save the world. Whilst he doesn’t understand the implications of this, he does immediately think how much money he can make from it.

    Ingrid Hunnigan

    A member of Field Operations Support (FOS), Ingrid has been working with Leon for a long time, and they share a mutual trust.

    Adam Benford

    President of the United States and the man who hired Leon after the Raccoon City incident.
