A few observations (walk+shoot simultaneously!)

[AlejandroM]

Let's get the obvious out of the way. The game will focus around three protagonists, each with a partner (so the full game can be played in co-op). It appears that each protagonist is going to have a different feel and gameplay style for their respective sections of the game. In doing so, Capcom seems to be attempting to please both fans of the old school RE and fans of the action-oriented direction the series has headed in in recent years. Very ambitious of them, so hopefully they can deliver.


We'll start with Leon S. Kennedy, Super Secret Agent™. He partners up with a woman named Helena Harper in this game. He takes care of the horror aspect of the game. His scenarios appear to be more atmospheric and intense, in true RE fashion. Also, zombies.


That GIF displays the revolutionary feature that is walking and shooting at the same time (in RE, that is). And Leon's new jacket - boy's got swag.

While we're on the subject, I'll point out that Leon boasts a strong resemblance to Sawyer.


Zombie dogs return, looking more like Raccoon City Cerberus than the Plaga Wolfs (yes!)


Leon's partner is playable, evidenced by:



Chris Redfield, on the other hand, follows his RE5-self in being as dude-bro as humanly possible. The man rolls with his last surviving subordinate, shown at 02:38 in the trailer (who will probably serve as P2 in co-op). The rest of his BSAA team is wiped out by some bioweapon in the form of a spiked ball that seems to turn people into exploding shit (02:34-38). Expect lots of action and explosions while playing as this guy. And plagas.

and an epic beast that looks like something out of The Mist.


I know what you're thinking. Looks like Gears of War. Well, it's not. Because in Gears of War, you don't get a gigantic head parasite pulling you out of cover! And Leon's slide... well, it's a poor man's Max Payne 3 maneuver. But I guess I'll let it... slide.


Lastly, we have the third man. No one knows who he is, but it is presumed he is Albert Wesker's sibling/son/idkwtf, Alex. That would explain the crazy kung fu at teleportation speeds. Others speculate that he is HUNK/Mr. Death or Steve Burnside. Whoever he is, he is accompanied by Sherry Birkin, of RE2 fame. This guy's scenes seem to revolve around hand-to-hand combat and chase sequences with something can only be described as something Bane and Nemesis fucked into existence. They also remind me of the RE movies because Alice does all sorts of over-the-top Matrix stuff in those.

The unknown BOW


Sherry Birkin


Crazy martial arts shit, including Albert's signature "Wesker Palm"



Possible SPOILER:

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

At 02:56 in the trailer, we see Sherry (note the white fur from her sweater) with her hands covered in blood. Her blood? Maybe she dies?

Crazy revelation? Pause at 03:02. If you get the right frame, you'll see a three-eyed zombie. Spider face? And the RE6 logo is surrounded by spider webs. New spider virus?

Bonus
...and some new info from Capcom, confirming that the game has been in development for at least two years. There will be a demo soon and a PC version will release early next year.

Oh, and one last thing! Capcom seems to be crossing over their properties. I mean, DmC Dante snuck his way in.


That is all.

Nice break down! Thanks for the link on the development time & demo! Also nice catch on the DMC pic!!!

Great work on this thread mate. It tells us all we need to know from the trailer.

+1

[DEDEURM]

The game looks very catchy.
I hope it will be a long game with a lot of bonuses and not a technical demo...

It seems the game get back to the RE2/RE3 urban era and took some of the "Dead Nation" ideas...

[WINAS3]

I honestly dont think thats ashley.
Why would the presidents daughter be hanging around with some ex-merc dude anyway? Just doesn't quite add up if you ask me, hell this president may not even be the same one as Re4's.

Time will tell...

[Phisix]

It's either Sherry Birkin or Ashley. You guys choose. I am going for Sherry.

I personally hate the addition of moving and shooting. However, I'm guessing (read as: hoping) that, as the trailer suggests, you can only do a slow as fuck walk while shooting and not speed walk, run, sprint, etc. Otherwise, you sap all of the difficulty out of the game by enabling the player to basically run away and shoot, unless you balance it with faster enemies.

You guys are right. IGN recently confirmed that it is Sherry Birkin. Odd, because it sounds JUST like Ashley.

Resident Evil 6: 24 Hours Later - PlayStation 3 Feature at IGN

And while we speak of IGN, here's a thread going over some interesting speculation.

here's GT's Pop Block on the trailer. Very informative.

I'm with you on this. Whilst the control scheme for the Resident Evil games are difficult to get used to at first, they work very well for the franchise. Sure, being unable to walk and shoot in a game like Dead Space wouldn't work, but the enemy AI is much different in that. The way the enemy AI has always been designed in the Resident Evil games works perfectly with the current combat system. Except for those damned bugs in Resident Evil 4. Little stealthy fuckers.

Nice work AlejandroM
Really cool stuff here, So thats Shery? It looks like Ashley but hey its a nice suprise to see Shery again and older, maybe Claire will show up too lol

Capcom is tryimg to make the most epic RE game to the date, no doubt about it, having Leon (imo the most famous character of the RE world) and Chris (The main protagonist of RE) together is something i never tought would happen.
Maybe Claire and Jill will be apart of the story as well since Ada is confirmed.

And i actually like the move and aim, if its like Dead space then im happy

On a side note, damn 3 main games in a row staring Chris Redfield - RE5, RE Revelations and RE6
