    After a hundred hours spent with RE6 I’m still hungry for more. While others complain that Resident Evil reached the gutter, I’m in love with the Mercenaries mode and superb combat system that lets you create unbelievable encounters. [06/2016, p.59]

    Resident Evil 6 looks great running at 1080p and 60 FPS. Capcom's game comes fully loaded, with all of its content available from the very beginning, which guarantees many non-stop hours of fun. Probably not the best game of the series and it doesn't offer any changes besides the visuals, but it offers action and enjoyment without complications, being the most ambitious Resident Evil entry in the franchise.

    The same game we played on PS3 and Xbox 360, but with better graphics and all DLCs included. Focused on action, it moves away from terror to search the spectacle.

    Even with a lifting on current-gen consoles, this is STILL Resident Evil 6 my friends, an action-focused third person action game... take it or leave it, but don't expect a good, old “Resi”.

    A bold but ultimately damned experiment, the game unfortunately does not offer any huge benefits in its PlayStation 4 re-release.

    Even though it looks more beautiful and crisp on this generation of consoles, Resident Evil 6 continues to be a game with a lack of identity and many, many problems.

    It’s not enough to say that Resident Evil 6 is poor as a Resident Evil game. That alone implies there could be a quality experience if fans can get past their preconceptions and feelings of betrayal. No, Resident Evil 6 is poor by the standards of any game, not just the high ones set by its own legacy.

    Fantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid. Overall experience much better than the PS3 version. Like many great games,Fantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid. Overall experience much better than the PS3 version. Like many great games, RE6 has minor design niggles, but the overall experience is so amazing and rich that they're easily forgivable because none of them are really significant. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas had some horrid, frustrating missions, and I wouldn't hesitate to give it 10/10, so I don't hesitate to give this game 10/10 either.

    Hopefully the game gets a fairer reception this time.

So, to be bias, I've never liked Resident Evils 1 - 3 because of it's stiff camera and controls, which never made those games for me. So, to be fair, I'm not a fan or familiar of Resident Evil with it's scary roots, so I look at this game as a simple third-person shooter just like Gears of War and what not. And to me, the game runs really smooth, no glitches, no bugs, still glad that they made your partner not contributing to your game overs from Resident Evil 5. True, it's linear, but so was Crash Bandicoot so those nitpicks don't get to me. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I understand where this game isn't for purist fans. But I'm not one of them, so that's why I rate this game higher than them. Expand

Im a long time fan of the resident evil series. I played the original trilogy on the playstation 1. I was a big fan of the 1st one and enjoyed the 2nd but by the 3rd the formula was getting tired for me. When resident evil 4 came out I had already lost interest. Fast forward to 2016 ps4 hd version of resident evil 6 is released 1080/60fps and people are saying it very different, its not resident evil, it just got tons of hate. I got the game for $15 on sale at best buy so I gave it a shot and see what all the fuss was about.

    When I started the game up it seemed to have a fimular resident evil vibe. I played the 4 campaigns in order and really enjoyed them all. I like the new enemies(there were tons of different types) the boss battles, the big set pieces and more action orientated levels too. The graphics are great. The game is broken into 4 campaigns the first 3 can be played co-op or solo which is very cool. The first campaign is like the original resident evil but more action, the 2nd plays like a "gear of war clone" all action no puzzles, the 3rd is a mix of resident evil 3 with stealth mechanics added. And the last campaign is solo and wraps it all up in a nice bow. It was a blast to play through.

    There are a ton of extra modes where you can do a lot of fun co-op or solo missions. I also love you can go into another players game as a monster or just jump in to play a mission and assist the another player. If you want a cool game and have ever played resident evil and arn't hung up on it being more modern with a faster pace then you will like this game. Its a solid title, I recommend it to anybody who's wants a fun action co-op resident evil title with a lot of twisted and turns.

    Resident Evil 6 looks like a game directed by Michael Bay, It's not a bad game, but It's not what you expect from a Resident Evil game.

En este juego es puroEs un resident Evil menos parecido que a todos los de la saga, aquí la munición o la salud ya no era la preocupación. En este juego es puro frenetismo con acción constante con bastante variedad de enemigos según los escenarios que tocaban. 4 campañas con una duración de unas 5 o 6 horas por campaña que se puede jugar individual, pantalla dividida u online con un amigo (recomendad para una experiencia mejorada). Aunque algunas misiones sean recicladas de otras misiones al coincidir en las campañas, no ha estado normal y la historia se entiende a lo largo de las 4 campañas. Expand

    A cooperative shooter with a terrible pace of storytelling and tedious gameplay. From resident evil there are only characters. Dead end forA cooperative shooter with a terrible pace of storytelling and tedious gameplay. From resident evil there are only characters. Dead end for the series. It's funny how many people evaluate this part better than modern ones, while it is a primitive run from door to door and shooting everything that comes in the way in huge proportions. Expand

    There is only "Resident Evil" name left from this series of games.

    What did I play: Survival horror or Hollywood action movie? I think

    What did I play: Survival horror or Hollywood action movie?

    I think fans of the PS1 classic trilogy immediately drew conclusions about this part of RE.

    Alas ...
