Is anyone picking up RE6?

For me, it comes down to two questions:

1) Was that demo based off the near completed version of the game, or was it the demo from way back in March?

2) The game is split into 3 campaigns of two chapters each. How long is that actually going to last?

I tend to really enjoy the RE games, even though they have taken a turn towards action. Are any of you guys picking it up?

I played RE5 in my friends house and i didn't like it and i just thought resident evil games sucked , but the RE6 demo changed my mind. I'll probably get it when the price drops. :)

see i hated Re5 and when i tried the re6 demo i was amazed how much it had changed. Now the thing is i need to figure out what system i want to get it on my ps3 or 360 hmm??

both are great from both demos i played however the ps3 version has a little bit better lighting and thats why i ended up buying it for PS3

I've already bought it. For some bizarre reason it was released here in Australia yesterday, so i've been playing it. And i've been loving it. Admittedly i'm a big RE fan, and in the severe minority of RE fans who don't really mind that the series has gone a more action orientated route.

I can answer these questions for you.

1. I've only been playing Leon's campaign, so i can only comment on his part of the demo. The proper game is pretty much like the demo from what i can tell. It's a bit smoother and i've noticed a few different gameplay tweaks and features i never noticed in the demo (you can counter enemy attacks) but it's pretty much the same. That being said, the game gets better as you play. Eventually you get used to the controls and the gameplay mechanics (quickshot is surprisingly useful). It also gets much better looking. Seriously, it wasn't until i reached Chapter 2 of Leon's campaign that i started to notice how good things look. Basically the demo doesn't really do it justice.

2. Each campaign has 5 chapters. I'm at the beginning of chapter 4 of Leon's campaign, and it's listed my playtime as 5 hours. I am playing on Veteran difficulty, and i've died a fair amount, so that probably adds to it but i wouldn't worry about length if each campaign is this long. Also there's a fourth campaign after you beat the other three, and that one has five chapters too.

RE6 is terrible compared to the amazing RE5. I don't know what went wrong in development, because the game is visually poor and has weak gameplay compared to it's predecessor which was released 3 and a half years ago. The demo was so average I was shocked. Definitely not getting it.

i'm buying it, its local co-op so my brother and i could play it together on the same console, it's gonna be fun

I'll pick it up when it hits $19.99MercenaryMafia

Dont let the demo put you off atleast rent it i hated the demo but im loving the actual game when i bought the demo was a bad way to showcase it

Nope, it's not Resident Evil anymore.

when the price gets to 19.99 then I will get it. I didn't like the demo at allhiryu3

but you'll still rent it via Gamefly upon release right?

From what I've seen and read about the game, this seems like one I should avoid at all costs.

if anything Operation Raccoon City is something you should avoid at all costs

RE5 jaded me.

I'll probably just rent the game from Redbox first

Resident Evil is one of my favorite series, every since the original on the PSX I've been hooked. However, I was so disappointed with RE5 it has soured my taste for the games. Just when I thought things were going down a different, but favorable avenue with RE4, they decided to really exploit the new direction in RE5, and the results were quite negative.

I will probably wait on RE6 til a price drop. I'm pretty sure I will not purchase it at full-price. My new survival horror fix though is the Dead Space series, so I'll probably just wait for DS3...
