looks pretty rad. love how far they are pushing some of their shadows into the blacks in that footage, very cinematic style lighting. the sliding and shooting from the ground is cool too. overall looks really impressive. I dont care if its not scary or anything, as long as its interesting and fun I will play it and most likely love it. now sit back and watch this thread devolve into people bitching its not RE any more :P
Resident Evil 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.. but I also love RE4 and LOVE the co-op and multiplayer of RE5. I've probably poured more hours into RE5 than any other console game. As long as there is co op and fun multiplayer, I'm sold. But it looks like it might have some of the mood of the Resident Evil 5 DLC..which I thought was really cool.
Animation and lighting is up to par! Guess I'll be the first to moan and say that i wish it was more survival horror than the action shooter it looks to be in the trailer. I enjoyed RE5 none the less, just wish it would return to it's roots.
Just watched this, looks pretty cool. The series in general has been moving away from survival horror (especially 5, somewhat with 4) so I think one just sort of need to re adjust their expectations. I'm basically expecting an action game at this point, and I'm stoked!
Current gen is starting to show it's age a bit I think. Too bad this wasn't made for PC with DX11
after watching this im very hyped up. this looks way better than res5, in terms of atmosphere and lighting, and the environments look very interesting.
This actually got me kind of interested, I like that they are going back to a t-virus infestation it makes the old-school RE fan inside me really happy. RE4 was good but RE5 just didn't do it for me.
Too bad I'm boycotting Capcom since they cancelled Megaman Legends 3...
I can't wait, plus Leon is back!! One thing I did notice is that Chris's gameplay seemed more akin to RE5 while Leon's seemed to be slower paced. If they do split it up that way it is a great idea to please both fans.
Looks cool. I was laughing at Leon and the Prez of the US being best buds but I guess he did save Ashley... she's back in this one? If you can't run and gun at the same time with this game, idk, someone needs to get fired, but it looks cool.
Looks like you play three chracters/storys this time?
The Chris part seems to be like RE4/RE5 aggain,
hopefully the Leon part goes more towards RE1-RE3 survival style
and the third guy...?
hav i just seen that annoying blonde chick with rudimentary boobs from re4?
"The president's cannons" - The Spanish guy from RE4
Well, I suppose it wouldn't be a RE game without a damsel that makes princess peach look competent. At least in RE4 you could put Ashley in the suit of armour and forget about her.
I'm not sure rudimentary is the word you're looking for... although I'm not sure what is.
With the RE6 game trailer and the RE5 movie trailer releasing practically back to back, one might think that they'd finally decided to haul the movie narrative in so that it actually bore some resemblance to the game's narrative and were going to cross-promote them. One would be be wrong. http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/01/19/watch-now-resident-evil-retribution-teaser-trailer/
As someone who never got to play RE4 (stayed away from the god-awful PC port) and loved RE5 (while understanding that it was worse than RE4) - this looks great!
Also, this is what game trailers should be like! Lots of gameplay and looking chock-full of content and near finished! Not tons of hype on air and 3 seconds of pre-rendered cutscene.
lol i love how the 1st 30 seconds of that new RE movie trailer is a fucking ad for sony.....makes me just hate the movie from the get go. I get advertised to enough every second of everyday, thanks for including it in my movie trailers now too! so I can get an ad before the trailer im forced to watch, and then another ad directly in the trailer!
I know this is still way early in development. But i can't help but notice that this looks way lower res than RE5. Operation Racoon city looks wonderful. I hope that they keep the bar or surpass the looks with RE6.
AND! i hope the co op is not a fundamental aspect of this. I didn't enjoy RE5 because i played it by myself. I know that that sounds like my fault. But gears of war is way more fun with other people, but i still had a blast running through it on my own. that was not the case with RE5. Anyways.... still looking fwd to this one. MAYBE! this could be like RE2 where you play 2 different characters through the same time frame, only to unlock a last part that has you play with both at the end. I really liked that part of 2. AND! i love that they are back to zombies. Those Pseudo zombies are kinda getting old.
looks cool, but too action packed...?? i'm not sure if thats a good enough complaint.
I think it's a valid complain considering that the series started off as a survival horror. Nothing in the trailer seemed particularly scary.
Personally, I know I won't be playing it. Not because it looks bad (in fact, the action looks ridiculously over-the-top, what means "pretty awesome" in my book) but because the game uses over the shoulder camera. Every game that has this type of view makes me feel dizzy and gives me a massive headache. I could never finish ME2 for that reason, even after modding the FOV.
Yes, the trailer was action packed but I'm sure they could also have cut together a trailer of the characters walking through atmospheric locations. Not survival horror though and it doesn't look like it's a reboot for the series either (which I think they said it would be). Hopefully they've fixed the control system this time around. That alone would be a huge improvement over 5.
I think its a good thing that resident evil is embracing the action thriller game it wanted to be in RE5. I'm sorry if I'm rehashing what was already said but as much as I love (and I really loved) old school survival horror RE, the series has grown a bit and with RE 4 capcom opened a pandoras box. So yeah, its not so much survival horror as it is Action thriller. Oh and Leon looks really freakin good in this game, as does Chris.
Sounds wierd, but I quite like RE games with motion controls.
I really liked RE4 on the Wii. Shooting gallery mechanic makes more sense with a gun.
I agree 100%. RE4 is one of my all-time favorite games, and the Wii version of it is by far the best in my opinion. I've been preaching about that manner of controls being the (eventual) future of shooting games ever since. What makes more sense for controlling a character's aim than... aiming something?
anyone notice the Tron Legacy music in the retribution trailer?
I didn't hear it the first time I watched the trailer... but it is... ugh why just can't the movie series die already even the trailers are painful to watch.
Was I the only one that had a really hard time with the controls on 4 and 5? Maybe it was just me or the ps3s analog sticks, but I had a really hard time playing that game. Guess Dead Space spoiled me.

Also Resident evil hasn't been a survival horror game in a while
Current gen is starting to show it's age a bit I think. Too bad this wasn't made for PC with DX11
I do the days when two zombies in a hallway was enough to cause a panic instead of being able to bust out devastating roundhouse kicks on them : /
Too bad I'm boycotting Capcom since they cancelled Megaman Legends 3...
(so much)
........amazing

I was frustrated with RE5 controls on the 360, but thought it was fantastic with the PS Move.
They should really push it as a "light-gun" game.
My thoughts exactly. Goddamn.

I don't think I've been this excited for a game for a long time.

ugh Why did you have to bring that up? Did everyone watch the retribution trailer right after they saw the RE 6 trailer?
Would you call Team Ico lazy for using the main theme from Millers Crossing in the trailer for The Last Guardian?
NEW TRAILER!! All I have to say is...PLOT TWISTS.
If i could watch Conan play with me the whole game, i would so buy this hahaha
