Honestly, the only thing that’s more shocking than the sudden announcement of Resident Evil 6 is how long it’s taken to announce it! Anyway, they’ve already released a piece of promo art and a (long) trailer, and the game looks to continue the gameplay style seen in RE4 and RE5. It’s been announced that Leon and Chris will be playable w/ their own scenarios, and Ada will be playable as well (as for how long, who knows). Likewise, there’s a third, new playable character who may also get their own scenario.
But man, I’m psyched now after watching that trailer! Leon’s scenario looks like a throw-back to RE2 w/ maybe a bigger emphasis on the horror aspect, while Chris’ looks like an action-packed scenario. I’m hoping that we can some returning characters from previous games, such as Jill and Claire. Perhaps the best thing announced so far is that Jun Takeuchi (the producer for RE5 and Lost Planet 2) won’t be handling this one, which is great considering how he just can’t seem to get a good game right.
