Today is the last day of Comic-Con 2011 in San Diego, and while the action starts to wind down there are still a few pieces of new gaming-related news to come from the event. The latest comes from an individual who claims they were invited to a behind-closed-doors session with Capcom at SDCC. While the individual was there Capcom allegedly detailed Resident Evil 6 to the handful of people in the room.
During this meeting with Capcom attendees were told not to take pictures of any of the things they were about to be shown, so of course one rebel took the opportunity to snap a pic. The picture in question was none other than the supposed logo of Resident Evil 6 with the date “15.09.2011″ posted underneath.
September 15th actually happens to be the day that this year’s Tokyo Game Show is currently set to kick off. That means that if the picture is legitimate then more news on Resident Evil 6 will obviously be coming during the event later this year, but what form the news will take is anyone’s guess.
Many are speculating that the sixth instalment in the Resident Evil series will return the franchise to its horror roots, but nobody is sure what the next game will entail. Masachika Kawata (producer of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City) has stated in the past that Resident Evil 6 will will be significantly different from Resident Evil 5, so fans should expect something unlike anything they’ve experienced from the series thus far – although a return to horror is almost a guarantee.
Capcom has had a terrible string of luck lately with keeping their unannounced games under wraps – with the most recent being Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3‘s entire roster being release prematurely. There’s a really good chance that this photo is doctored, but even if that is the case Resident Evil 6 is still en route; whether or not the game will appear at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, however, is still open to speculation.

I would love to see RE6 go back to the series roots and play more like the original. That being said, I ADORE RE4 and wouldn’t mind something similar. They just need to not follow a lot of what they did in RE5.
Well said..The originals were by far more of a “survival horror” game. While RE5 was great, it was more of an “action/adventure” style game. Having a partner there took away most, if not all, of the suspense.
I jus hope that they dont jus remake it in hd. i hope they fix the controls too so that the controls are like re5 at least, and a few new guns wouldn’t hurt
please make it like code v thats amazing game best resi game bring wesker bk or leon
I hope RE6 is ZOMBIES NOT like re 4&5 even though those games were awesome, I’d rather see zombies
The thing that Res5 was lacking was the feeling of isolation. What i loved about Res 1-4 is the feeling that your by yourself in a place that is far away from any type of major civilization. Res4 in particular. Running around in a town controlled by satanic cults was so perfect.
I hope for something like Code Veronica. In my opinion that was the best and really the last REAL RE game. Don’t get me wrong, I love 4, and 5 was fun for a little bit, but CV had the best story and characters and was downright SCARY for most of the game. The only thing I hope they keep from 5 is Co-op mecs mode. That was fun.
