Resident Evil 6 Message Board older than one year ago

Get a glimpse of the action in Capcom's newest trailer for Resident Evil 6.

The Resident Evil 6 demo is live on Xbox Marketplace, and is coming to PlayStation Network later today. Gold subscribers can download the demo now on Xbox, with the demo becoming generally available for the console on September 25. In case you're wondering, this isn't the same demo that owners of Dragon's Dogma on Xbox 360 got earlier this year.

The fully fledged version of Resident Evil 6 arrives on October 2.

Conan O'Brien isn't the first to play Resident Evil 6, but he has already played the upcoming demo. It's all for laughs, but he does a surprisingly good job of summing up the franchise, noting it has "good graphics" and a back story that's "way too complicated." Sounds about right.

C'mon, people, you should realize by now that you'll need a survival plan for the inevitable zombie outbreak.

#residentevil If you're worried that Resident Evil 6 won't feature enough content for you, fret not: Capcom has announced that they will be releasing three additional multiplayer modes for the game. All three modes will be timed exclusives for the Xbox 360. More »

Capcom today detailed Resident Evil 6's post-launch downloadable content, which includes three multiplayer game modes called Survivors, Predator, and Siege. The announcement came shortly after a UK Xbox Marketplace listing disclosed three modes as the 360's timed-exclusive content first announced at this year's E3.

Survivors Mode is a last-man-standing versus mode, but with killed players respawning as "enemy characters" (presumably zombies), able to resurrect fully after killing two humans. Predator Mode sees human players try to survive against a sole Ustanak, while Siege Mode sees each team trying to protect (and eliminate) a non-player character. Let's just hope that NPC is more Sheva than Ashley.

The three modes become available shortly after Resident Evil 6 comes out on October 2. The demo arrives on PSN and for gold members on Xbox Live next Tuesday.

#residentevil They say ‘There's more than one way to skin a cat'. Man, that's such a weird saying. Who skins cats? They should replace ‘cat' with ‘zombie' and ‘skin' with ‘utterly destroy'. That'd make way more sense! More »

During the final day of PAX Capcom had a stream going for Resident Evil 6, giving everyone a glimpse at how Mercenaries mode has changed. Players are much more mobile now, and can use traps (when available in the level) to dispatch large groups of enemies quickly.

Resident Evil 6 is scheduled to be released on October 2, but some people already have the game. Wait, what?

“Capcom is currently undertaking a thorough investigation into reports that Resident Evil 6 is being sold ahead of its official October 2 release date,” said the company in a statement. “At this time, all we can add is that it would appear this unfortunate incident is limited to a small quantity of stolen copies of the German USK PlayStation 3 version of the game.”

Word on Resident Evil 6 appearing weeks ahead of its release date first showed up on NeoGo, and various photos and videos have appeared to validate the authenticity of the original report.

Capcom’s statement this morning backs that up, though adds the new wrinkle of stolen copies of the game.

As discovered by VideoGamer.com, Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson confirmed the company does not intend to change the release date, despite this incident.

“The NA [North American] date remains 10/2,” said Svensson.

Capcom’s biggest problem? It’s not just that Resident Evil 6 shows up on torrent sites, it's that Resident Evil 6 shows up on torrent sites, people don’t care for the game, and pre-orders disappear. Time will tell on that one.

Capcom's Japanese site for Resident Evil 6 lists September 18 for the release of the game's demo on PlayStation Network and for Xbox Live gold members. The demo will be generally available through Xbox Live on September 25.

The Resident Evil 6 demo will be different from that provided to Dragon's Dogma purchasers on Xbox 360. We've contacted Capcom to confirm dates for North America, and we'll update when we hear back.

Update: Capcom has confirmed North American dates are same as those above. Added press release with further details on new demo.

Capcom has stated the recent sale of Resident Evil 6 before its launch date in Poland is an "unfortunate incident" involving stolen goods. The publisher told Eurogamer that the situation is "limited to a small quantity of stolen copies of the German USK PlayStation 3 version of the game."

The publisher is currently conducting a "thorough investigation" into the matter, which saw copies of the game go on sale in the Polish city of Poznan last week. The game isn't intended to be released at retail until October 2.

Eurogamer also points out that one person is currently trying to sell a stolen copy on eBay. For anyone thinking of getting involved in that, let us just slide this article regarding knowingly possessing or trafficking in stolen goods right here.

#residentevil6 There's something to be said about a well-designed enemy, and Resident Evil 6 has that in spades. They're not just the old-fashioned, shambling zombies of yesteryear. They have personality and visually communicate what their purpose is even from far away. I ended up really growing fond of them! More »

#crime In late August, months before launch, retail copies of Resident Evil 6 appeared in Europe. Kotaku wondered if these were stolen goods, and according to Capcom, they were. More »

If you live in the city of Poznan, Poland, then today was your lucky day to pick up Resident Evil 6 on PS3 from a local retailer. NeoGo was able to purchase a German-branded copy of the game about a month before its retail street date of October 2.

"I was shocked when I heard the store offers it and rushed to check it out," Rafał Baranowski of NeoGo told us. "I have no knowledge of manufacturing plant near Poznan. It looks like it has been pulled from Germany, really."

The site currently has a video up of the game and has sent us images of the manual as proof it's a final retail copy. The site currently has a couple videos up of the game.

"I will play deeper into the game over the weekend, but please note that we do not plan to make tons of videos," Baranowski said. "... Capcom would kill us."

#residentevil It's August 31, not October 2, but somehow, some way, gamers in Poland have gotten their hands on some retail copies of Resident Evil 6—or are extremely awesome at PhotoShop. More »

Fear not, Six Flags goers, this year's Fright Night festivities are bound to get your heart rate going (yup, we really just wrote that lead). Everyone's favorite Resident Evil publisher is bringing its latest game - Resident Evil 6 - to Six Flags parks nationwide starting on October 6.

Pre-ordering a copy of RE6 (through GameStop stores or online) nets you a discounted ticket to Fright Fest, a voucher for "one free haunted attraction," and "exclusive ride time" on unnamed roller coasters. You can also play the game at "interactive demo stations," though, you know, you'll have had the game for four days at that point. You could always pretend you've never played it and just look really good in front of strangers, we suppose, but then when do you look good excelling at a video game in front of strangers?

Capcom is working on a mobile app as well, ensuring you'll never be able to get away from Resident Evil 6. Ever.
