Just got a text from EB Games saying my RE6 preorder is available to pick up as soon as the stock arrives in a few hours. Apparently we got a surprise early release in Australia! No doubt Capcom learned it was a long weekend/beginning of school holidays and smelled money, but hell, I'm not complaining.

Okay, so it's out in Australia, and if anyone is (still) wondering, split screen is definitely back. Also, Jake's campaign is some of the most cheesy and unbelievable bullshit I have ever seen (this is a compliment, it's awesome).

Thievery posted:I have literally no doubt that it will be in the game, but I also have no confirmation of this. I can't imagine they would take it out considering it's been in Resi 5, Mercs 3D, and Revelations (If you count Raid mode), and it's no doubt the most popular and DLC-friendly part of the game. Yeah, Mercenaries is back. I haven't had much chance to play it yet, but it seems to be exactly the same as ever. edit: Calaveron posted:So she's literally wearing her RE2 outfit, as in those were the exact same clothes she wore when she was 16 or whatever If you think that's bad, wait until you see them cram her into a hospital gown that is two sizes too small, backwards and upside down. It's exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. edit 2: Also, if you're planning on playing split screen, there's a mandatory single player 15 minute or so tutorial before you can get to the main menu. Hope your partner has something to read! Good Lord Fisher! fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Sep 29, 2012 |

Tremors posted:You early copy people need to post your impressions. Alright. I've finished Jake and Chris' campaigns, just started on Leon's. Playing on Normal (which was still actually kind of hard), those two campaigns clocked in at roughly 10 hours apiece. Having played with the new controls for awhile now, I have to say I actually really like how the whole thing handles - once you get used to it, it's much, much more fluid and easy to control than RE5 was. All I couldn't get comfortable with were the fruity crosshairs (but there's an option to turn on a RE4/5 style aiming laser, which I much preferred.) Jake's campaign: A loving ridiculous, schlocky, B-movie action bonanza. Completely awesome. A short stealth section, but it was amazingly non-irritating to play. My favourite campaign, so far. Highlight: Jake actually saying the phrase "come get some". Chris' campaign: What I was worried about, as the demo made it seem boring as poo poo. Luckily, Capcom's just terrible at demos. Quickly gets much more interesting once (not really a spoiler if you watched the trailer) Chris' team is all dead. Highlight: the fact that Chris has become a really, really angry man. It's pretty hilarious, especially if you consider that it was pretty much as long ago that his team all died as it was at the beginning of RE5 since Jill had 'died', which didn't seem to make him any less civil. Second highlight: (boss spoiler) I hope you guys liked fighting Yawn way back when! He's invisible now. Leon's campaign: Leon is the worst driver in the loving universe. His campaign's pretty enjoyable for the hour I've put into it so far, though! Mercenaries: Exactly the same as it always was, albeit with the addition of The Mercenaries 3D-ish skills to equip. Adds some flavour to the mode.

Wanderer posted:That wasn't "his team" in RE5. The first team was a separate group entirely, and the second was Josh's. He's also really cynical and dark about everything right up until he finds the intel about Jill, which turns him around. Sorry, I worded it badly. I didn't mean 'his team in RE5', I meant just Jill's alleged death, as compared to his team in RE6. He is pretty cynical after the Jill thing, but I just meant that it kind of feels like his reaction to Jill - his partner of the last decade - and his reaction to his team should have been.. reversed? I don't know. He goes full-on hulk-out bananas over his team, as opposed to his occasional bouts of cynicism when his ex-captain who betrayed him/archnemesis of the last several years goes over a cliff with his partner and best friend. The man is an enigma. I won't argue the paternal streak, though, that's a good point.

Tremors posted:Since I haven't played the game yet I don't know what his reaction is, but couldn't it be the result of the compounded events of RE5/jill mixed in with some ptsd adding up to be too much for the guy? Yeah, that's actually quite possible/likely. PunkBoy posted:That sounds awesome. How Extremely.

Oh, I forgot the biggest highlight of Chris' campaign: He can play on the slide and ride on the spring horse at the playground. The spring horse animation is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen Chris do. GOTY.

 I didn't think RE6 had any legitimate creep-out value, but (late, late-game) holy loving poo poo Ada's campaign just took a turn for the horrifying.

For what it's worth, I agree with the reviewers' complaints about the aiming system - it's loving terrible, UNLESS you switch the aiming mode from 'crosshair' to 'aiming laser'. I found accuracy 100x easier with that change. The crosshairs are just awful, but I can't put my finger on why. The occasional driving controls are a bit unresponsive, too, but everything else is absolutely great, in my opinion. One other thing I've JUST figured out: the difficulty of QTEs from zombie grabs is tied directly to your stamina bar. No stamina = bullshit QTE. Full stamina = easy QTE. edit: Full stamina + Combat Gauge Booster Mk 2 = impossible to fail QTEs, if you can save up the XP to get it. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Question; I'm aware it's a heavy spoiler but I have to know about Ada's campaign. It's.... pretty gross. Only in Chapter 4, though, the rest is fine.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:That being said I'm having a total blast as Leon even though I'm kinda unsure what to do in this one room, and the only complaint I have is holy poo poo this game is hard as gently caress, either I'm terrible or I'm getting knocked over every few minutes it seems. If you're letting your stamina drain to empty, you'll be super easy to knock over until it recharges.

Yeah, there seems to be a bit of a difficulty curve between 4, 5 and 6. By now Normal seems to be about as hard as RE4-era Professional.

The swimming sections in this game are the easiest thing in the world. Protip: Hold LB and mash A for autopilot. You get there so much faster you don't even have to surface.

GUI posted:Yeah, I know about that already and it's pretty stupid, but I'm talking about costumes like Leon wearing his jacket being selectable in Mercenaries. From what I've seen the only unlockable costumes seem to be the goofy ones like his pirate costume. The Mercenaries costumes actually work pretty much the same as the main game, though it's surprisingly subtle, so you might not have noticed. Your character will be wearing whichever of their campaign costumes is appropriate to the environment in the map you pick.

That's bizarre, I actually found Ada to be one of the strongest Mercenaries characters. Uzi is great for stuns, and the crossbow can deal with almost any non-garden variety enemy with ease (except those loving flyers). Also, the crossbow quickshot is outrageously powerful, and sets any normal enemy up for an instakill stomp (except dogs, use the Uzi on them).

Azran posted:For those who own it already - are there any really annoying bits in the campaign? I hated the driving sections from RE6, the on-rails shooting sections of RE5, and the usual suspects (Chap. 2 in Jake's campaign, Chap. 5 in Leon's) No, nothing like that. There are 2 short turret bits, but they handle okay and don't outstay their welcome.

There's a 'shield' one that spawns in one of the Abyss stages in Raid mode, which actually elevates it to serious threat because it is really hard to put down in time. Unless you figure out their weakness to shock grenades

Snidesworth posted:Just finished my first run through Revelation's campaign on Normal. Is Infernal worth playing, or is it a tedious affair full of bullet sponges? I'm only a few chapters in on Infernal, but it was obviously designed for NG+ only. Nothing I've fought is particularly bullet-spongey with NG+ guns. It's generally more  OH GOD WHAT than  OH GOD WHAT so far.

Apparently that particular QTE can sometimes have issues if the framerate is locked to 60 FPS? Maybe try locking your FPS to 30 instead and see if that helps? It seems like maybe doubling the framerate doubles the amount of buttonpresses required, because Capcom.
