Masachika Kawata, the producer of the upcoming Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for Slant Six Games and Capcom, took some time to comment on the still-largly-a-mystery Resident Evil 6 and stated the game will see a complete renovation. He also said the game will be totally different.
But before gamers get excited or upset by this news, it should be noted Kawata also said they cannot totally forget about all the previous entries that created so many of the possibilities for the Resident Evil series. He also would not say whether Resident Evil 6 would be a shooter or survival-horror game, just that it would be totally different.
While Resident Evil 4 brought something pretty new to the franchise and was generally loved by gamers and critics alike, Resident Evil 5 also brought its own newness to the series and was not looked at as fondly by some, despite still having strong reviews. What does that mean for Resident Evil 6 then? At this point it could really go either way. There is still likely a lot of time before gamers get their hands on any build for Resident Evil 6. And even after seeing the game action, a lot could change. Remember that early Resident Evil 4 footage that was totally different than how the game turned out? We do too.
With a few other Resident Evil games coming soon — games like Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, and HD versions of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica — perhaps gamers might be able to get some insight into what Capcom might be thinking for Resident Evil 6. Or perhaps Resident Evil 6 will bring something entirely new and different from all of the franchise games before it. With the action-oriented Operation Raccoon City coming out, it would be surprising if RE6 didn’t offer something for the fans of the survival-horror styled RE4 which is the best reviewed game of the series.
Do you think Resident Evil 6 will be similar to Resident Evil 5 or any other Resident Evil game that came before it? Do you think it will return the series back more to its survival-horror roots? What would you like to see in Resident Evil 6? Is there anything about Resident Evil 5 you would like to see again in Resident Evil 6? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

I really hope it goes back to its survival horror roots, there are too few games that are truly scary nowadays, with everything just orientating around shooting. I’d like to see the developers for Resident Evil take a look at Amnesia for example and create something even close to as terrifying as that experience was.
I played that when I was little! I remember seeing a scene that made me run away from my PC. THAT was a scary game
I’ve been a die hard resident evil fan ever since I first stepped into the mansion as Jill Valentine in RE1. I personally think the direction they took with re4 is ruining the series. The storyline in 4 & 5 wasn’t very good. I miss the third person camera angles and the ZOMBIES. Yea the gameplay in resident evil 5 was ok but def a step back from the originality that resident evil had that made it the leading zombie game.
The thing that made me hate RE4 and RE5 was the story in comparison to the previous games. I even liked RE0 because of the story. If they can get the gameplay of re4 and the story calibar of re:cv and re2 the new one could be incredible. I still don’t see myself playing it though. They have yet to bring back barry burton and they killed wesker and destroyed his character. When they strayed from the excelleng story telling they lost me.
Resident Evil 6 will be on the new unannounced Wii 2. It will be confirmed! Remember I said it first!
It’s very likely in my opinion that they will get back to there roots in 6. A lot of people I know Loved 4 & 5. 5 was the funnest version of the game for me. But without the success of the original games we wouldn’t have gotten a chance to play 4 and 5, and I think Capcom knows that.
Everyone’s biggest gripe with 5 was the fact that you were forced to play the game with the computer. Getting s-rank was not easy with the fail computer. I personally played the crap out of 5.
i was a huge fan but they have turned them into action fest when it should be survival horror and scary im done with this franchise and its crappy films, unless they remake the films like the first game,resident evil zero, and resident evil 4.
Diffidently not RE 4. It was terrible! RE is about Umbrella. I hope they quit making them like RE 4 and 5 and go back to the ones like 1, 2 and 3. I’m sure EVERYONE will be happy.
I wouldn’t mind a return to more creepy and scary elements, with more claustrophobic and sinister locales, but one thing I absolutely demand is a movement mechanic akin to Dead Space; if you can move and aim freely in space while shooting zombie aliens and still be creeped out and scared, then you can certainly do it in a mansion with regular ol’Human zombies… Although on another note, I prefer and hope they keep the parasite and/or virus/parasite hybrid zombies from 4&5, or something similar; shuffling and slow-moving zombies just won’t cut it for me anymore, they won’t be scary, especially with an improved movement mechanic
If you can move and aim freely…start the whole franchise again w/ better aim and walk mode…that would be cool, able to aim for the heads in RE 1 and RE 2…RE 3.
Yes….move and aim freely…..right from the Mansion and on…more Tyrants…Zombie…More Puzzles…More Caverns….More….More!!!!!
I would love to play RE2 again in HD with improved movement and aiming mechanics. Dont think it will happen, but that would be soooo epic!!
Start the RE 6, where RE 5 is left off and have them returned to the Mansion( drugged up ) and then turned into Tyrants and the whole Story Line Starts as in RE Director’s Cut.
Or Time Traveling Back to 1998…Just Re Boot the Whole RE 1-2-3 w/ Free Aim and Roam Freely while aiming…..and add a alot of other secrets to it…more treasures / mini stories / bonuses / puzzles / MORE DARKNESS / LESS DAY LIGHT!!!! ZOMBIE EXPLOITATION!!!!
More SPECIAL WEAPONS….ABLE TO DECAPITATE W/ MACHETE…SPLIT SKULLS…SLOW MOVEMENT SPECIAL MOVES…CHOP CHOP…
MORE TYRANTS…MORE CREEPY…DARK….TUNNELS…CONFINE SPACES…
I want it to still to be a multiplayer game
As long as it isn’t like Resident Evil 4 & 5. Those games are pointless. Really cool if it was a totally different game. Resident Evil is about Umbrella and the virus. Not parasites and stuff. I’m sure over half of the RE fans wants the old RE back!!!! The new ones suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am hoping that they stick with the muti player campaign like five but i hope that you can get a larger selection like in the surviver series i felt that both brought a good good vibe to have team work instead of just being alone it was nice to know that you had a friend when faced with hordes of flesh eating monsters
RE6 should need have a 4 player mercenaries mode played with wired & wireless Controllers & Create your own RE Charcters & ammo & weapons in RE6 kind like Creating your own CAW from wwe games.
bring back infinite ammo when you have maxed out the weapons in RE6.
take the chainsaw guys out RE games for good cause its waste of space.
have 4 player sceneraio modes & joining forces in storylines mode with 2 & 4 Player co-op like in the RE outbreak games.
after RE 6 how about another RE Chronicles 3 game for wii this time with infinite ammo & 4 player co-op two play as a U.C.B.S & police & Hunks Alpha Team & RE Charcters.
maybe this will a be RE the outbreak Chronicles 3 game for wii after RE6.
having a Create our own RE CACharcters like RE3 Mikhial & Nichoial & so on and join the ranks to become stars alpha or bravo team or U.B.C.S army
in the new mercenaries mode get an A or S Rank with your created RE person & play that person in Storymode & you can change your outfits if you wish & you can customize or create all weapons like in the phantasm 2 if you beat the game in s ranks you get Infinite ammo.
this would be a new RE OutBreak Chronicals 3 Survial Horror wii game with 2 & 4 player co-op & 1player.
just an idea for a new wii RE Chronicals game for the future.
