According to an upcoming interview on 1-Up, Resident Evil 6 will be a complete reboot for the series.

 

when people use the word 'reboot' in an entertainment context i'm always reminded of that awesome CITV cartoon.

that was so cool.

 

I hope they don't destroy the RE story even more.

 

RE is a cash cow, the games have been decent enough so far but you cant expect keeping the story to be top of capcom's priorities

 

I hope the new series has decent controls, as the current ones make what could be an awesome game, ****

 

Mega binary idea!

 

Can't wait for RE5.

 

Did the RE5 demo bore anyone else?

 

Any children's program that has the guts to end Season 2 by having a seemingly unstoppable horde of soul sucking aliens being finally defeated by the hero, only to have his arch-nemesis banish him to the nether along with the aliens gets an A+ from my book. Up there with Optimus Prime's death in terms of stomach clenching.

 

Hope so, Re5 = dissappointing.

 

It was ok. Nothing to write home about. A friend of mine couldn't even beat the second level.

 

I miss the creepy mansion with puzzles Come on next-gen remakes lol FF7 & RE1.

 

It's not even out yet...

Controls are fine.

"You can't move and shoot" You have never been able to do that. It's RE. I swear to god, if you people ruin this series with your stupid complaints...

 

Zombie RTS is like the best idea ever! *fingers crossed*

 

Nah, the RE1 + RE Zero remakes on the Gamecube were brilliant. They should have done RE2 and RE Nemesis in the same way.

 

"Reboot" huh? Perhaps this means the game will be so buggy that it will cause your system to magically reboot in the middle of slaughtering zombies.

 

the game is fine imho, but there are just too many RE sequels, prequels or anything related to the franchise at the time being for me

 

RE is one of those games that already had a preset storyline. Final Fantasy and Metal Gear were the same way.

The acccident and discovery (RE1). The spead, the effects and mutations (RE2), The attempted cover up (RE3). The chase for Wesker and the formal introduction of the Ashford family (RE:CV). The fall of Umbrella and rescue story (sucked)(RE4). Intro to the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, Tricell Pharmaceutical Company, Weskers return and former Umbrella key players (RE5).

 

Did I mention controls, and no, theya re NOT fine, it was fine when it was acvtion horror, for a coop action game that it has become it is slow, clunky and un-intuitive. I read several dissappointing previews and the demo was enough to know it is not good.

 

Games change, and the controls don't to match its gameplay? It is blind sheep like you that keep series from evolving, and we get stuck with lack lustre sequels, blind sheep, Baahh, Baaah.
