    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.

    Hopefully the game gets a fairer reception this time.    … Expand

    Leon's arc is ok enough.

But I'm not one of them, so that's why I rate this game higher than them.… Expand

    As a person who played the resident evil games backwards I have found this game to be a gem in the franchise. I never write game reviews, but for the first time I had to.

I never write game reviews, but for the first time I had to. Mechanically this game has a lot to offer with quite a bit amount of options. The criticism people have is valid, but this game has some much to offer for what it is currently rated as. I have played mechanically based games like the souls series and blood borne and the current day shadows die twice. Never have I seen a game with this much effort put in its combat mechanics. The story does have its flaws, but can be overlooked with its skilled based reward system. Not sure if people are unwilling to put to the effort to learn the hard and a bit complex mechanics then justify the harsh criticism with “bad story” “ Clunky mechanics“. This game has several difficulty modes Amateur, normal, veteran, professional, and no hope. My first play through was on veteran and man was it hard. After analyzing what made this game difficult was my lack of knowledge for its in depth mechanics. On a final note if you are an individual who wants a traditional Resident evil game or a easy game this is not for you.… Expand

    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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil has seen its ups and downs to many gamers in regard to how it use to be in the early 90's to mid 2000, with its fixed camera angels and limited ammo. I think as a fan since Resident Evil 2 the series needs to be bigger then it was, with each entry upping the anti for a much more cinematic effect and blockbuster action mixed, survival horror elements. It really lends itself well to the series. With its big spectacles and wonderful gameplay. Resident Evil 6 takes these notions to new heights with its interwoven story and its larger then life characters. Resident Evil 6 is to myself the biggest and best entry in the series and a very well made game in that respect. The story here is the biggest we've seen and the characters are so engaging in their quest to rid bioterrorism from the face of the earth. One of my favorite features in the game is the crossover feature, letting you play with up to four players/people at certain areas of the game its brilliant. The new characters feel very welcoming to the series, and the creature designs are very terrifying. There are four different play styles in the game to cater to each style of Resident Evil fan, retaining a certain uniqueness to each campaign. There is loads to do and many different modes for all varied players. The Mercenaries' mode is the best to date and there are tones of different new modes to choose from. Resident Evil 6 was an absolute amazing game to play with its few jumps scare and action set pieces it was a great experience for a long time Resident Evil fan. Sure their were a lot of action prompts, but those can be turned on or off at players discretion. I have and played all 21 entire in the series of games and this was my favorite by far. Resident evil 4 may be the best entry to most fans in the series,but where do you think the series went wrong from the originals, ill say it, "Resident Evil 4" The game is great but their in lies the rub. This is where the series changed into the new direction it is today. Everyone is different, one mans trash is another's treasure as the saying goes, everyone is different with different tastes. How do you bring back the fans of the first five main entries in the series like from 0 to 4 without alienating everyone who loves the later games of the series like 5 the revelations series, 6 and ORC but, there is no denying that this game was the biggest and most exciting Resident Evil to date. It's all right to jump back and forth like Capcom has been doing as of late, and trying new things, but that just means there is more Resident Evil to play, with different takes of enjoyment and that just means more Resident Evil for all to play!… Expand

    Feels very clunky and so disappointing to play, it tries to be an action movie, but fails at it. It has some nice cut scenes, but the dialog is horrendous. The game never stops and slows down it just action after action with very clunky controls

    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.

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 have always been a fan of the Resident Evil games and have played/seen all of them, and for me Resident Evil 6 isn't an exception, I loved this game and for it to be available just for 20$ including all the DLC maps & game modes it's worth it. For me the gameplay and storyline were very solid, giving the player a wide variety of moves to try out and defeat it's enemy's, and the fact that you can play with your friends or other people in general in the campaign makes it even more fun. The new characters they introduced were welcomed each one with its own backstory (you can read about them in the collectibles room if you've collected the right serpent emblem in that characters campaign). The only downside to me is the fact that you can't play the DLC game modes in split screen, like you can in the campaign and in mercenaries. Still i rate this game a 10/10… Expand

Yeah sure,it's not the same Resident Evil that used to be, but it was still a fun game to play ( better than 5 in my opinion). You can play a campaign up to 7-8 hours ( 4 campaigns in total, not 3) on a harder difficulty. There are a lotwow, so many people bashing at it....

You can play a campaign up to 7-8 hours ( 4 campaigns in total, not 3) on a harder difficulty. There are a lot of quick time events,sure but I think that they're set for the right moments, an example is when you get grabbed by a zombie, of course you have to try something to escape right? And QTE are also used to enhance some cutscenes, making them more intense, not to mention that on Easy difficulty those cutscenes QTE will be done automatically..that's something no one talks about ¬_¬ . There's also a lot of variation in the game, from driving(flying,etc) to some light puzzles. The graphics aren't bad either and the storyline is pretty alright ( not the best but acceptable). Ammo is pretty scarce as well and the environment is well made. It's not horror but Leon's campaign has a little level of creepiness. The only bad thing about this game that I can say, is the online mode. While Agent Hunt is a great idea, it's entirely broken, you can barely move or do anything useful. It turns from fun to a chore. Mercenaries it's okay I guess, more intense ( a little bit),but not that much better than RE5. Annnd..the other modes you have to pay for...Ustanak was meh , great idea to look at but when you get to play it, it's kinda bad in my opinion. They should've put way more effort in the Online modes (that's cheap) . It's also a bit sad that the costumes are removed from the campaign. The game has ups and downs for sure, but it's not a bad game like some of you scream out there or bash at it. If some people would complain less and not right off the bat, playing the game more,the might see,that there was effort into it. To me overall Resident Evil 6 was a pretty good game, I hope the next one is even better. (Sorry for my english)… Expand

    Capítulos extremamente longos e cansativos, uma história pouco envolvente e um grande desbalanço de dificuldade, hora fica fácil demais, hora fica difícil demais, personagens secundários sem nenhum carisma, e com motivações nulas.

CAPCOM breaks my nerves afterwards sliding to the side of the action. but this game is nice. but not as nice as a 'resident evil' game. nice as any other game. fun hollywood style action game.

    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.
