While Resident Evil 5 was considered by some diehard fans to be a disappointment, after the total revamp that was Resident Evil 4, gamers are still carrying a strong affinity for the franchise. Hoping to capitalize on that fan enthusiasm, Capcom plans on taking the next iteration, heretofore assumed to be titled Resident Evil 6, in a new direction.
Though most of this information is unconfirmed, a purported trailer for the sequel is making the rounds, and is supposedly being shown at Capcom’s TGS booth. Of course Capcom has come out to deny this trailer is being shown at TGS, making it seem all the more real, there is still some skepticism on our part mainly because there isn’t much to go on.
As you will see below (unless the trailer has been taken down), this teaser for Resident Evil 6 is very light on footage and heavy on both Japanese and English text. What said text implies is that the world has gotten out of hand, due to its reliance on bio-weapons, and the only way to restore balance is to go back to the source.
Then a set of what we assume to be coordinates are shown onscreen, implying either that Capcom is taking Resident Evil 6 to a real location or is grounding one of their fictional cities in real world space.
But that’s it. There’s no Leon Kennedy – despite tremendous fanfare crying out for his return – and there’s no “zombies.” Even the logo itself, while somewhat reminiscent of a Resident Evil title card, is a bit off, but is connected to other rumors of RE6‘s existence.
Most likely, by this time tomorrow, Capcom will have outed this trailer as being completely fake or part of their early marketing for Resident Evil 6. But, for now, it’s all hearsay. Sure, it would be great to see the mechanics of RE4, with some of the tweaks introduced in 5, in a Umbrella-esque location, but let’s not get our hopes up just yet.
What do you think of the Resident Evil 6 teaser? Do you think it is a fake? Would you like to see the series move away from the “plague” of the last two Resident Evils?

Mongolia. Interesting.
This needs to go back to the survival horror roots of teh first, second and third Resi’s. Running around shooting zombies – I can do that in Dead Island, Left4Dead & RDR Undead Nightmare. Make something different just like the mid 90′s otherwise this franchise will fade away with a wimper.
all i know is that im looking forward to operation raccoon city, i like the way the gameplay looks on it
All I want is scary, crazy, and intense survival horror. Puzzles and zombies and terrifying ambiance. Give me shivers, RE. :C. I hope this isn’t fake- I have a think for snow.
The coordinated that display halfway are located in canada. The snow around the title of this 6th installment makes sense. But we shall see.
Sorry coordinates displayed, oh and btw bottom right hand side of the end of the clip states it’s a registered product of Capcom.
Yes, but if you were making a fake trailer wouldn’t you include something like that?
I just hope it’s less actiony and more puzzle. 4 was great, besides the lack of any decent puzzles. 5 just wanted to be Gears-lite. =/
PLEASE CAPCOM! Quit making most of the game take place in broad daylight. Makes it a lot less scary. More rainy, or snowy nights.
Scary factor.
They need to quit making the zombies sentient. Zombies shouldn’t be aware of anything besides brains. They shouldn’t use weapons either. Fighting a Crimson from remake was way more scary than fighting a dude with an AK. If they need to appeal to a broader audience, include Umbrella Operatives, or variable.
Environment.
I want to explore a big city. I want it to be at NIGHT! Survival horror works best at night, preferably in the rain, or snow even. I want to get rushed by hordes of slow walking scary zombies. I have never been more scared of a game than Resident Evil Remake.
Almost all the enemies should be mindless monsters. Fighting people that can mutate is a lot less scary.
the reason it was scary was the lame controls you had to work with,starting with 4 you could actually move sorta like in reality.
You guys need to stop complaining,RE is more story driven that it is a pure scary type franchise,if they bring back zombies fine,if they want to do more las plagas type stuff fine,just don’t turn it into some shoot fest with no story.
oh and sorry for the double post but,was there not a edit post option here before?
Resident Evil 5 was not a Disappointment i liked and thought it was very cool ….
