Gamin' NEWS! Resident Evil 6 announced


So it is finally official!
Capcom has finally announced Resident Evil 6, released a trailer for it and given a release date.

RE6 is coming up at the end of the year, on November 20.
It will feature a return to basis with a more urban environment (hooray!), more classic elements/story/character and the return of RE1's Chris Redfield and RE2's Leon S. Kennedy.

And here's the trailer!



This is looking pretty great so far!

Still using the RE4/5 3rd person over the shoulder. It was obvious they would continue to follow that route ()though part of me which they coulda found a compromise, like Ubisoft's Cold Fear)

I also see the artstyle is a bit more realistic, so Chris doesn't look as over-the-top/gigantic/super-muscular as he was in RE5.

Here's the official pitch:
It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.
