Capcom's part, it had long been rumors on the development and release of a new chapter in the saga of the world's most famous horror film. We're talking about Resident Evil 6. The new chapter will be released as confirmed by the same manufacturer, November 20, 2012 in Europe and will be followed two days later with the release in Japan. The game will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and it was revealed that Capcom is also working on a version for Windows PC, which came out a little more later. This is confirmed by the official video that Capcom has launched as the first trailer of the game, which quickly propels us into it.
Set ten years after the end of Resident Evil 2, we see as two faces very familiar to fans of the saga: Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield. Between China and America on this occasion we will have terrible fighting zombies, as well as interact with new characters, to try to end the threat of bioterrorism in place that is about to assume the world. While, in fact, the U.S. president wants to make known to the public what happened to Raccon City, on the other, in China, where Chris, you are experiencing a similar episode.
Among the features confirmed the presence of a cooperative multiplayer mode (very similar to that seen in Resident Evil 5) in addition to the classic single-player, and graphics that promises to enhance the horror side of this title.
One of the three protagonists of the new storyline will be Leon S. Kennedy,
who, after saving the President's daughter in Resident Evil 4, seems to
have developed a confidential relationship with the head of state,
destined to end with a bullet in the face as possible in the first
images of the trailer we see the president as saying , a little 'pale. But
Leon is a real tough guy, wearing a jacket once again fashionable and
performs a face hardened and scarred by time and for some strange reason
reminds us so much beloved Sawyer on Lost. In
this adventure Leon also has a new partner, the Helena Harper, an agent
of the U.S. government definitely sexy whose role in the story is yet
to be determined. The
mission of Leon is not exactly clear: apparently a terrorist attack has
changed the population of a village called Tall Oaks and then here we
are again faced with a city of monsters in which a danger lurks behind
every corner. It
is clear that Capcom intends to re-create an ambiance of Raccoon City
in Resident Evil 2, as shown by the signs of devastation and far from
friendly people who persecute Leon and into the subway tunnels. Across
the world, however, has a parallel storyline starring Chris Redfield,
now a member of the BSAA (Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance):
our historic main character is a district in Hong Kong lit and
wonderfully realistic, under the crossfire of curious enemies that may be masked terrorists who are hunting. Chris
in the trailer seems to be disheartened by some event that may have
played in this sequel to Resident Evil 5 and: where is Jill, one
wonders? The will meet again in this new adventure or something happened? As
we ask these questions, we are immediately overwhelmed by a few
sequences involving two completely new characters on which we can only
make assumptions: he is presented as a scarred mercenary English accent
and the air that speaks of its real hard blood
as if it were of vital importance to someone, she is a girl who
accompanied him, taking care, and insisting that the world needs him. The rumors dare two names: Alex Wesker and Ashley Williams. One
thing is virtually certain: these three arcs, seemingly unrelated, will
eventually intersect with each other to finish the story with a roaring
finale in which a horrific megamostro torpedoes will be knocked down in
the face. We want to bet?
From
the narrative point of view Capcom has clearly decided to do things in
style, offering a story more dynamic and detachment from the blatantly
film that tells the story of several characters involved, after all, in
the same battle. The
choice of the location where the story takes place does not seem to be
random: Tall Oaks certainly try to bring the series to its roots with
more closed and restricted spaces, while the scenario in Hong Kong seems
to give greater emphasis to the action scenes and guerrilla warfare, as evidenced by a glimpse of the trailer where we see Chris leans over by a tank. The
aspirations of this sixth chapter seems short, huge, huge as is the
development team which has at least one hundred fifty programmers and a
staff of about six hundred people. The
idea, however, is to create a link between the "old" Resident Evil, the
original survival horror that has made us afraid of every shadow, and
the "new" Resident Evil caciarone where most were facing hordes of enemies with machine guns and kung-fu. The
concept of the new Resident Evil revolves around two key points: the
fear of what can happen at any moment and the idea of being
overwhelmed by the enemy at any moment. Who
played the first Resident Evil certainly remember some moments of sheer
terror, skillfully taking advantage of situations and made shots,
moments that have become increasingly rare as they undertook the series a
whole new philosophy directed action, culminating in a Chapter five trigger-happy. Resident
Evil 6 seems a return to the roots without disdaining the gameplay
action-game from the last episodes, moreover emphasized by what appear
brand new mechanics: towards the end of the trailer we can see Leon
embark on a slide that resembles then
turn to vanquish the enemies to the ground riddled with bullets, in
another sequence, however, Chris runs to cover to hide from attacks
un'orripilante creature with a style that reminds a lot of Gears of War.
Do
not miss the spectacular melee also useful in getting rid of the
invading enemies, but the action will continue to be captured by a
camera positioned just above the shoulders of our character, just as the
fourth chapter onwards. In
a welcome attempt to meet both veterans of the franchise to new fans,
Capcom could be on the verge of turning out the best chapter of Resident
Evil for several years now.
