With so many new creatures in Resident Evil 6, I can’t talk about all of them, but just know that most of the enemy types in this game are Resident Evil 6 originals. There’s just so much variation to the enemy types in Resident Evil 6. Next, we have our new mutating enemies, the J’avo, and they can mutate into a whole slew of different creatures. What new ones will we be facing in Resident Evil 6? So if you just want to play by yourself, you should have no trouble enjoying that experience.
We learned from previous games a lot about how to make good AI for partner characters when players want to play by themselves. With Resident Evil 6 you have the choice of playing co-op or single player, and if you play the latter, your partner will be controlled by the AI. Why should I change my mind for Resident Evil 6? I always say this in interviews-I never, ever play co-op or multiplayer. It also allows players to play the game in a way that feels comfortable to them. Because we created such challenging enemies, we had to make sure the players had the tools they needed to fight them off.įiguring out what types of attacks you should use and when to use them is a key part of staying alive. They don’t wait around for you to shoot them they’re much more aggressive.
Players are free to choose how they want to fight and survive in this game.Īlso, the enemies are a lot scarier in this game. The reason we made more offensive attacks available to the players is because we have so many more challenging situations that we put them in. What made you want to make this design decision and what would you say to fans who aren’t happy? Amateurs are happy fans are somewhat upset. This is the first Resident Evil game where you can move and shoot at the same time. (But we will have some player-versus-player multiplayer DLC available.)
We don’t have any plans for that at this time. That’s why from the beginning players can only choose from Leon, Chris or Jake’s campaigns.Ĭan we expect single-player DLC that might add to these scenarios? Ada’s campaign is the one that will tie them all together and help you put all the pieces of the story’s puzzle together. Why did you choose to structure the game this way?Īll four of the campaigns, when played together, tell the entire story of Resident Evil 6. Resident Evil 6 has four different scenarios to play through-the fourth is unlocked after you play through the first three, which have their own characters as the star. We’ve also prepared some additional costumes you can use in the extra content modes of the game, and I can’t wait to see the reaction of those Resident Evil fans when they see them. (Of course, we’ve put a lot of fan service into the story for our long-time fans as well.) You won’t need a familiarity with the previous stories to enjoy the plot twists in this game. Resident Evil 6 is very approachable for newcomers to the series. How approachable, if at all, will Resident Evil 6 be to newbies? On the other hand, how many call-backs can fans expect to see? This might surprise you-my first Resident Evil game was Resident Evil 5! (Though I did go back and play Resident Evil 4 after hearing so many amazing things.) While I didn’t understand a lot of the story twists, I still enjoyed both games. It’s up to you to devise new ways to defeat them if you want to stay alive. What’s great about them is that depending on how the player damages them, a different part of their body will mutate, which will also affect the way in which they can attack you.įor example, before they mutate, they might shoot at you with firearms, but following their mutations, they’ll want to get in close to attack you. We’ve also brought back zombies to the franchise and we’ve even introduced new bio-organic weapons like the J’avo creatures. The campaigns will intersect at different points and you can have up to four players simultaneously playing online at those cross over moments. With the four campaigns, we aim to depict the different facets of horror and show how these different horrors affect our protagonists. We have seven protagonists divided among four unique campaigns, with two of the characters being returning fan favorites Leon S. This is the first Resident Evil game to feature an ensemble cast against the backdrop of a global bioterrorist attack. Resident Evil 6 is the latest installment of our popular game franchise-one that has sold a total 50 million copies worldwide. For those who haven’t seen any of the trailers, or read any of the previews, how would you describe Resident Evil 6?
