Resident Evil 6

Loved the early PSX RE's. This Anthology set intrigues me.

You played the game wrong if you thought the old RE's were a slow walk and shoot game, the games were not meant to be shooters. RE4 did more harm to the franchise than anything, setting up the stage for RE5 to be a PUSH A HERP DERP TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE, ALSO HERE'S A ROCKET LAUNCHER IN THE FIRST 20 MIN LOLZ.

All the games are boring to me. Never got the big appeal.

After the shit Swarley and I went through last night (and well into this morning) I don't even know if I want this game anymore.

If I do get it I think I'm still steering towards that Xbox Archives version. It would be cool to have all the PS1 games but I highly doubt if I would ever replay them because they definitely don't hold up anymore. Whereas I would play RE4 HD and Code Veronica HD. Plus they both have full cheevo support because they are Games on Demand games, whereas on PS3 they have limited trophy support and no Platinum. I know most don't care about that but it's another factor for me. And lastly, I already have RE5 Gold for PS3, but I just have vanilla RE5 for 360.

After playing through RE5 and both DLCs with Swarley I'm going to go with the Xbox Archives version for sure. As much as some sections were a pain in the ass I would play through them again, and whereas I will probably never play the PS1 games. It just seems like the better deal for me. Plus I could trade in or sell my 360 copy of RE5 vanilla.

Resident Evil 6 pre-orders from Capcom store include rain protection device

All pre-orders for Resident Evil 6 placed through the Capcom store will include the freebie seen above: a literal Umbrella umbrella. Somewhere right now, Xzibit just felt a chill run up his spine.

The custom Umbrella umbrella bears the "Umbrella" name on the outer top and on the handle, just in case you're bad with the names of evil corporations and those things you use when it rains and you don't want to get wet.

Dammit, Twigg. You're going to push me to get the 360 copy. I can't play RE without my fellow Wesker slayer.

It just makes more sense. I do have RE5 for both but don't have the expansions on 360. I also don't have Code Veronica or RE4 remakes and they both have full cheevos lists on 360, and you don't get Veronica with the PS3 bundle anyway.

But yeah, I'm such a PS3 fanboy.

Plus, I realized the other day that I already have RE1, RE2 and RE3 thanks to getting them free from PS+ a while back.

Resident Evil 6 to use free online stat service, ResidentEvil.net

It's called ResidentEvil.net, and according to Capcom, it's "massive". Launching with Resident Evil 6, the free site tracks all your game data—such as enemy kills, which weapons you dominate with, and your Mercenaries score, among others—to compare with Resident Evil 6 players all over the world.

Besides allowing players to see how they stack up, ResidentEvil.net will also allow Capcom to schedule events and shower participants with RE.net points that can be used to redeemed for things like in-game costumes.

Each event, however, will have one "winner". The champ will get a champion belt, and to keep it, that player will have to keep playing. Capcom will list past champs, so your RE6 glory will be there for all to see.

Here are the first images of ResidentEvil.net. Check 'em out..
