Resident Evil 6 is expected to hit stores next month on October but 2nd modded Xbox 360 users are already playing the game. The game has been leaked on private gaming torrent tracker BlackCats Games by user DevilSlayer.
The game is available as a “JTAG Rip” and is sized at 6.97gb. Resident Evil 6 will be available on retail in two discs, although the uploader claims the second disc only contains other languages.
Note: This leak is legit, the rip has confirmed to be working by multiple sources.
Which platform will you be getting Resident Evil 6 for?
E3 2012 is only 11 days away now. For those of you who do not know, E3 means Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is an annual fair that has been continuing since 1995, and video game companies use this to show-off their new games and hardware. E3 is the biggest gaming convention and developers spend a lot more at E3 than at any other event.
This years list of games that will be shown at E3 has been released. Here are the 5 games that have caused a lot of excitement.
5. Tomb Raider (Reboot)
We’ve all played Tomb Raider in the past, and most of us loved it. Now, Lara Croft can be seen in complete HD with a re-designed look. However, this might not be the game everyone was thinking it to be…
Apparently, this game features a relatively inexperienced Lara Croft who is stranded on an island and has to survive. So far, no Tombs have been seen in the game’s videos. This is more of a survival game than an adventure game. Lara no longer knows any gymnastics of manoeuvres. She’s just another regular person trying to fight for her subsistence. This game also has an M rating due to the excessive about of blood and gore. Lara has to heal her wounds by herself and can die in a number of brutal ways.
This will be a real treat for some Tomb Raider fans as they get to see another side of Lara and learn about her before she became an explorer. For others, this might not be a source of excitement as they might be looking forward to a proper adventure game. I personally believe that change is always for the better, and here’s to hoping that the changes made to the Tomb Raider franchise are good enough.
Hopefully, another trailer may be released at E3, maybe showing some more gameplay. Tomb Raider has been delayed to 2013, and there’s a chance that a proper release date might be given at E3. Lets hope it’s worth the wait.
4. Resident Evil 6
This is another franchise with a large fan base. And in the past few years, Capcom hasn’t exactly satisfied it’s fans with proper console RE games. Although some fans were happy with RE5, but the majority believed that it could’ve been greatly improved. It lacked the horror element. Capcom has promised to bring back the ‘pee-your-pants’ horror back with RE6. Lets hope they deliver this promise.
This new Resident Evil game will feature Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy and Jake Muller (The son of Albert Wesker) as playable protagonists. Each of them has a partner with them, but it is not yet revealed whether players will be allowed to control them as well. The entire world has fallen victim to a bio-terrorist attack and new creatures called the J’avo have been formed. They are able to plan their attacks, use weapons and heal themselves.
The game looks great and some footage shows dark areas which can truly make you feel scared, given the right type of music and atmosphere of course. Capcom may show a playable demo, which has been scheduled to release on PSN and XBL in September.
Lets hope Capcom can pull this off to cover their recent failure due to “Operation Raccoon City”.
3. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
I’m not a fan of spin-offs, but due to my love for the Metal Gear series, I’m looking forward to this new installment, even though it won’t be the same.
This game will have Raiden as the protagonist. And as most of you know, it’s not the ‘Tactical Espionage Action’ game anymore. It is now a hack-n-slash, focusing on Raiden has he cuts his way through everything. Literally, everything. The game looks good, but I personally feel that the voice-acting is not properly done. It felt a little awkward when I listened to the voices in the trailer.
I’m looking forward to that demo that Kojima teased a while back. It’s title screen has also been shown to the people. Like many other MGS fans, I can’t wait to see Raiden in action. And hopefully, E3 will quench my thirst.
However, the lack of snake-ness (if you know what I mean) is somehow disappointing. I’m also secretly hoping for Snake to make a cameo appearance at least.
Here is the title screen for the game’s demo:
2. Assassins Creed 3
What was originally planned as a Prince of Persia game, is now one of Ubisoft’s strongest franchises. Over the last few years, people have come to love the Assassins Creed games and can’t wait to know what other adventures await the Assassins. I was surprised to find out that Brotherhood and Revelations weren’t exactly the AC 3 and 4 respectively. Then again, I think it’s a good idea to have another game with the number 3 in it, along with a completely new character.
The game has been in development ever since the release of AC2. Notable characters that might appear in the game are George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and General Charles Lee. This will be something interesting to see.
Gameplay for this game has already been revealed along with an October 30th release date. Ubisoft should show something new for this game at E3, like a completely new trailer with new gameplay elements that have not been revealed. No dubstep music please.
1. The Last of Us
The PS3 exclusive being developed by Naughty Dog has caught a lot of attention. After all, who would not expect great things about Naughty Dog after their amazing Uncharted series?
Not much has been revealed about the Last of Us. Sure there are two trailers, but they leave a lot to be desired. Basically, the game is about survival in a post-apocalyptic America against hostile elements such as the Infected, (humans infected by the virus) and the Survivors (humans that are not infected, but are still hostile). The main characters are Joel and Ellie. The latter is being escorted by the former out of the city, though it is unclear where.
The Last of Us looks great. The visuals, the dramatic scenes revealed in the trailers and the girl who looks a lot like Ellen Page are too good to ignore. However, proper gameplay has not been revealed by Naughty Dog, so that’s what everyone should be expecting to be shown at E3. Also, a little clarification regarding the story wouldn’t hurt either.
The latest trailer of The Last of Us can be found here:
Which games are you looking forward to? Let me know in the comments below.
The Resident Evil franchise is one that I’ve followed for quite a long time and Resident Evil 6 was a game that I was greatly looking forward to this year. Since 2012 has not had a plethora of good games so far, Resident Evil 6 was on my “Highly Anticipated Games of 2012″.
However, after playing it, the hype has died and the fact that this was supposed to one of the most exciting games of the year, seemed highly absurd. Many would agree when I state that Capcom seemed let the Resident Evil franchise roll down the hill with the fifth game. The newest installment further strengthens this statement.
Whats wrong with this game? A lot of things. Read on in my Resident Evil 6 review to find out more.
Well, the main thing in a survival horror zombie game are… the zombies. In Resident Evil 6, my opinion regarding the zombies varies. Some of them, especially the ones in Leon’s campaign, are the classic zombies that you’d expect. They’re scary, they’re unintelligent and the try to grab and bite you. On the other hand, the one’s in Chris’s campaign didn’t feel like zombies at all. Rather, they felt like regular soldiers. And why shouldn’t they? Whats the point of a zombie when you equip him with guns and ammunition? Yes, I understand that they’re smarter and they aren’t ‘regular’ zombies, but then you’d might as well turn this franchise into a pointless shooter. Sure, some of the bosses had a good unique design in all campaigns, but Capcom can do better than that.
Although the game still carries the tag of “Survival Horror”, it definitely didn’t feel like one. Instead, it was like a regular third person shooter. Although Leon’s campaign showcased some enigmatic, eerie areas, it still wasn’t enough to scare anyone. You do get to relive some moments of the previous games in the graveyard level as you get to kill those zombie dogs and get that nostalgic feeling, but that’s pretty much it. I recall Capcom boasting that RE6 would provide us with the “Pee-your-pants” horror that we all crave from this series. Sadly, this was a lie. A big, fat lie with a troll face on top.
The game did have a good design though. The HUD had a very futuristic look and the areas looked neat too. Character designs are all polished up and the voice acting is superb. All this draws you into a well-written narrative as you discover the origins of this latest Biohazard.
Speaking of the narrative, it is split into three separate campaigns, or four if you consider Ada’s campaign to be important. Each campaign has it’s own individual story with independent premises and conclusions. All these stories are linked together and contribute to the main story line which can only be understood if all the campaigns are experienced. Since the game play is repetitive and boring, playing through all four campaigns seems like a difficult feat.
Each campaign may have different characters, but the core game play is the same. Run, shoot, cinematic action, open a door – rinse and repeat. Sometimes, you end up wondering why you’re even playing this. A movie would have been a better idea. The cinematic actions are simply overdone, not to mention frustrating. It seems fun the first couple of levels, but then you realize that it’s the same thing over and over again, causing your thumbs to become sore with the repeated pressing. Not cool, Capcom. Couldn’t you guys have thought of something different to bring some variation to the game play?
The camera view is still the same too, in case someone was wondering. I’m not a huge fan of this camera angle, and was expecting it to be changed this time around. Some parts of the campaign would have been more fun if this angle was not present as it would give the players more freedom with the view and let them look around without the frustration of having to switch sides. Furthermore, the actions such as jumping over something, or rolling underneath an object, are still done by one single button when the option appears on screen. This is an out dated feature, without a doubt. Once again, this restricts the unrestrained freedom that the players need. Well, at least we can aim and move at the same time.
Also, melee attacks have been made easier now. The ability to perform melee attacks is completely in the hands of the players. This is the only freedom given, actually. But this destroys the balance of the game. I cleared most of the game without having to use up too much of my ammunition. Most enemies are highly vulnerable to melee attacks and don’t require a bullet to the head to achieve death. This seems nice, until you realize that the game is just too easy. You can also simply run and avoid most of the enemies, making levels even easier.
Since the game features co operative play, you have two characters in the game. Firstly, this ruins the atmosphere. Since you realize that there is another person around to help you, you do not realize the intensity of the situation and the terror that the game is trying to invoke. Playing with a friend using co operative play further makes you feel relaxed. I fail to understand the point of survival horror when you’re playing a friend though. Also, since a partner is around, some actions like opening a large door require both the characters to be present at the location, which feels quite redundant and stupid.
Well, these are just a few of the many things that cause Resident Evil 6 to fail as a proper horror game. When you play the game, you have a constant feeling that this game shouldn’t be the way it is. I guess all that hype was for naught.
If you’re a hardcore Resident Evil fan, no review can stop you from getting the game. But if you’re a sensible gamer, you should realize that Resident Evil 6 is a waste of your hard earned money. You can either skip this game, or wait for it to go on sale if you’re even mildly interested.

CapcomUnity has uploaded the live Resident Evil 6 gameplay demo from Gamescom starring Jake and Sherry. Watch the full gameplay demo below, its off screen unfortunately. Please note that there may be some minor spoilers in the video.
So far it looks pretty good, have to hand it to the voice cast especially. They delivered the super cheesy dialogue pretty well. Resident Evil 6 arrives on the Xbox 360 and PS3 October 2nd.
What did you think of the demo? Let us know in the comments below.
Capcom is at it again! Despite having just recently apologized for their on Disc DLC and other shady practices Capcom has revealed three new Multiplayer modes for their upcoming highly Anticipated action horror game Resident Evil 6. These modes will be timed exclusives for the Xbox 360.
The three new modes revealed are called “Survivors Mode”, “Predator Mode” and “Siege Mode” and their official descriptions are as follows:
Survivors Mode takes the classic solo- and team-based versus mode and adds a twist. Get killed and you respawn as an enemy character with the ability to attack the human characters. Take down two human characters to resurrect in human form. Last man or team standing wins.
In Predator Mode, one player takes on the role of the Ustanak, the fearsome B.O.W. that stalks Jake Muller throughout his campaign, and tries to eliminate the human players. The humans’ task: stop the deadly B.O.W. in its tracks, or at least survive until the end of the session.
Choosing the human side in Siege Mode will see players protecting a single NPC, while as a member of the enemy team, players will need to eliminate that same NPC. If the NPC is still alive at the end of the time period, the human team win.
Each Mode can be played by up to 6 players and will be played on Mercenary mode Maps. The company has not announced the prices or any specific release dates for the DLC as of yet but they will arrive on the Xbox 360 first and for the PS3 and PC sometime later on. Expect the prices to be rather high. Capcom also said that they will release more maps and other content for the game as well.
Be Sure to catch Resident Evil 6 when it comes out for consoles on October 2nd 2012 and for the PC in November.

As expected the C-Virus will be the focus of the game.
Zombies are able to wields weapons including guns, axes and pipes. They can be disarmed by shooting in their hands like Resident Evil 4 and 5.
Zombies are able to perform advanced movement actions like dodge, jump and climb.
Players can move and shoot with their characters at the same time.
The Mercenaries mode will be available on Day 1 and no as DLC. Now this is something Capcom is unlikely to do but we’ll go with it anyway.
Mercenaries mode will be huge.
An incident will totally change Chris Redfield’s personality during the game.
Jake Muller or Wesker’s son as he’s popularly known now is mercenary out in Europe fighting to earn some money for his mother.
Ada Wong, the mysterious starlet is responsible for the incident in China which causes Chris to get chasing after her.
Muller is immune to the Virus and is contacted by Sherry Birkin to help her save the world.
The campaign will take place in three parts, each with their own protagonist namely Chris, Leon and Jake.
Leon’s first mission takes place in a Library which will have more of a survival horror atmosphere.
