    As one of the few who like the old and new Resident Evil games, this re-release is most welcome. This isn't the best game of the series, but it's solid and a lot of fun if you don't go in with any preconceived notions. Don't expect challenging puzzles, deep exploration or backtracking. Don't expect to be scared to turn the next corner, agonizing over what could be waiting to terrify you.As one of the few who like the old and new Resident Evil games, this re-release is most welcome.

Don't expect to be scared to turn the next corner, agonizing over what could be waiting to terrify you. This is an action game, plain and simple but it's a good one. If you have a friend to co-op with, it's great. Solo less so but still enjoyable. Just dig in and enjoy it for what it is, for $20 this is a steal. Recommended if you've never played it or if it's been a while and you enjoyed it the first time around. Expand

    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 hesitateFantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid.

    Hopefully the game gets a fairer reception this time.

    Resident Evil 6 is a sprawling epic of a game with fantastic combat mechanics and a massive amount of content.

    Once you have learned the complex control system you have a quite unprecedented amount of control over your character, and wading through enemies using all the techniques available to you feels fantastic.

    I have no idea why people are saying this game is bad. I loved it, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is top notch. I thought the two of the campaigns were good, chris and leons. Jakes campaign was not that good. The action was also a very good part about the game and this ps4 remaster was better than the original.

    i already own the game on ps3 and xbox 360 but the pull of the no mercy mercenaries mode that was exclusive to pc and the 60fps 1080p boosted performance i thought id double dip again for the ps4 version. controls seem alot smoother and so far ive not played the single player game beyond prelude. i have so far managed to play over 5 hours of the no mercy and have found that this is worthi already own the game on ps3 and xbox 360 but the pull of the no mercy mercenaries mode that was exclusive to pc and the 60fps 1080p boosted performance i thought id double dip again for the ps4 version. controls seem alot smoother and so far ive not played the single player game beyond prelude. i have so far managed to play over 5 hours of the no mercy and have found that this is worth the purchase for me alone. very good value and i look forward to playing the story mode soon. this time around i intend to play through adas story first which is available right from the start.

    Let it be known, that I like all the RE games, from 0 to 6, though i will acknowledge 6 has some flaws. with that said, for $20, with all the DLC loaded and running at an improved 1080p with 60fps, the co-op and competitive multiplayer alone is worth it.

    I've always loved Resident Evil 6. 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

    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]

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

    As expected, Resident Evil 6 — four years after its original release — remains one of the series’ most underbaked, underdeveloped and downright unappealing entries in a franchise that has claimed far greater heights in terms of gameplay and presentation.
