Nope, Revelations is a spin-off. It's actually set between 4 and 5.

Please return it to a more horror and puzzle solving approach, not saying it has to go back to the fixed camera view.

Ah now, the plot did come full circle at the conclusion of five.

They need to stop flogging a dead horse.

Meh. Wesker died sure but there was very little plot overall in fairness.

A dead horse that makes lots of money will continue to be flogged. I'm hoping 6 isn't a full reboot, the RE universe is still interesting. They don't even need to change the gameplay, just scale back the action, add more puzzles and focus on atmosphere!

A reboot would be weird. But I wouldn't be fully opposed to one if it was done right.

They used the word reboot when they first mentioned RE6, but I imagine they meant moving on from Wesker as the villain, rather than starting again. At least, that's what I hope they meant!

For the most part I think over the last 2 games in the main series it has become far too linear, then again that is mostly the case with 3rd person shooters I suppose.

If Resident Evil 6 is survival horror then I will care, if not, I'm more interested in Operation Raccoon City

Oh...it does. I'd have sworn it said 6 when I posted it. Maybe it was a mistake that's been corrected?

its hard to see where else it can go in fairness,it cant go back to the old school zombies because the virus evolved it wouldnt make sense the zombie theme ended in 4.I think they are flogging a dead horse

RE6... Leon wakes up mid plane journey to europe, RE4 and 5 being just a nightmare in his head..

Franchise saved and redeemed, pow!

Rob2D

That's not half bad!

As a big Resi fan I have to say I didn't even buy 5 after playing it with a friend. It's gone too "action" and not enough survival horror with ATMOSPHERE.

For me, Deadspace is the only game out at the moment that has the whole scary atmosphere and it's something any new Resident Evil needs to model.

Even Resi 4 wasn't scary but it had atmosphere.

Resi went pop. It needs to return to the roots for me to buy a new sequel.

Rob2D

Truth.

However, I really think you should give 5 a chance. Its a great action game in its own right if you can just forget the story.

Worth the price for Mercenaries alone if you ask me.

"Brutally scary" is the rumor

Here's hopin'! Fingers crossed.

Can it be redeemed without being rebooted though?

I mean, what made me love Resi evil was the characters, and they have already ruined Leons, Chris's, Claire's etc pursuit into umbrella and chasing down Wesker etc by turning those story arcs into a arcade shooter.

So with Resi 6 they will have to use total new characters or put those chars into a total new story arc, which is ropey to say the least.. I'll hold my breath though, i don't wanna give up on this series

A reboot would be nice. The GameCube version of resi1 was immense. Another remake would go down well (for ps3 :P )

If they used the Deadspace Engine and gameplay that would be great

Apparently this trailer is a fake:

Don't forget Lost in Nightmares.

It would be class if they brought back a Resi 2 type format with a game+ playing as each of the characters on slightly different paths!

I took the numbers in the game to be co-ordinates... which points to a place called "Thunder Bay" in Ontario Canada
