| Resident Evil 6 flops big time; is series dead? Posted by UltimateHog Reviews are awful, and one has to ask, is this series dead?  on 10/2 at 3:05 pm4.5 from Gamespot LINK 6.5 from Gamezone LINK 7.9 from IGN LINK ArsTechnica verdict: Skip it LINK Reply • Back to Top |
quote: /sigh.. so sad  I would say, it's only dead if nobody buys it this time, and they actually think nobody bought it because it wasn't "edgy" enough.. and try to go even more edgy.. and end up completely alienating every single last person all together. Reply • Back to Top |

| Oh, and that being said - they are going more towards the CoD and Battlefield crowd.. RE6 will sell more than RE5 did. It's not dead Reply • Back to Top |

quote: doubtful. Too big of a name. Now they very well may reboot it or something and go back to its roots. I think that'd be a big hit. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: There are more mindless droves who buy games with "big and shiny guns, with a new cover!!!" than those who enjoy a deep video game... at this rate, they will quadruple their sales numbers over the next few installments. This post was edited on 10/2 at 3:37 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Need to do this. There is a gigantic market for survival horror right now. Silent Hill sucks, RE went away from its root, so people drool over Blops/2 Zombies and Dead Island type games. Last of Us will sell like crazy on the PS3, as would a back to the roots version of RE and Silent Hill both. Silent Hill was one of my favorite series. Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by CornDogCologne on 10/2 at 4:45 pm to UltimateHog I knew they shite the bed with this series the minute they started harping constantly about accessibility. you'll never get CoD sales figures with a true survival horror game. so let's shoehorn in a ton of action and unnecessary multiplayer. I'm concerned about Dead Space 3. Co-op really kills any sort of suspense. This post was edited on 10/2 at 4:47 pm Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by sbr2 on 10/2 at 4:52 pm to CornDogCologne Game plays differently when you are alone. When Isaac is playing solo he talks to himself and freaks out, but in coop he banters to with the other guy. Want more scares? Play solo. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by CornDogCologne on 10/2 at 4:55 pm to sbr2 You mean it isn't like RE5 where dumb as a rock Sheeva follows you around spraying up all your health sprays and siphoning you extra ammo when you run low?  Suppose that's a little easier to swallow then. Reply • Back to Top |
Sad to hear this. I had high hopes for this game. quote:Very concerned for this game. EA reduced the scares in DS2 and the addition of co-op, MP, and skills like hiding behind walls, rolling, etc., make me think that this game will be a huge disappointment. Reply • Back to Top |
Sigh Guess I'll wait for Bioshock 3 and Dead Space 3  Reply • Back to Top |
quote: interesting to see this I ddint realize this game was getting ratings so low. I only saw the gametrailers review which gave them an 8.8 further solidifying my inference that gametrailers gets $ for their reviews Reply • Back to Top |
| I just looked at Metacritic, and it has a user rating of 0.6 Yes, that is a 0, followed by a period, followed by a 6. I know people often troll that site, but that is bad even by troll standards. ME3 didn't even get a rating that bad on Metacritic, and that game resulted in the creation of charity events. Reply • Back to Top |
| my co-worker was so excited for this game and even went to get it on her lunch break i loked at her fricking crazy when she brought and was freaking out about it no pics, so fat Reply • Back to Top |
quote: There have been some resident evil games in the past that have been bad, but they have been spin-offs from the main series, the first Outbreak for example. None of the main series games have been bad so far, we'll see how the series recovers from this, but I have strong doubts. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
