First Look: Resident Evil 6

Capcom has unveiled the latest installment in the Resident Evil saga, Resident Evil 6. While I haven't been a big fan of the saga until the fourth game, I must say that RE: 6 looks great and I will definitely be playing this installment. Now onto the premise of the story. The game takes place in the year 2013, the President of the U.S.  Adam Benford wants to reveal what really happened in Raccoon City in 1998. He believes that if he tells the world how horrible this incident was, it will stop bio-terrorists from wanting to infect people with the viruses produced by Umbrella Corp. Before the President makes his announcement the place is attacked by bioterrorits and the President becomes infected, forcing Leon Kennedy from RE: 2 and RE: 4 to kill him. The trailer then reveals that in Europe, a mercenary by the name of Jake Muller who we later find out is actually the son of Albert Wesker has managed to escape from the authorities thanks to a bioterrorist attack. Later we see Chris Redfield and the members of his B.S.A.A. team arrive in what appears to be a city in China, that is actually a fictional city called Lanshiang. The city is also under attack by bioterrorists. The entire world is apparently being turned into infected or better known as "zombies" by bioterrorists. In the game we will get to control all three of these characters, Leon, Chris and Jake who by the looks of the trailer all have different fighting styles. New to the series are creatures called J'avo which are infected that can actually use weapons and even use weapons! I don't know if it's just me but Jake appears to have super human strength in the trailer, while Chris seems to rely more on wrestling moves like he did before and Leon seems to be very handy with handguns. If you guys are considering pre-ordering this game I highly recommend getting the Resident Evil 6 Anthology Edition, which will include codes to download Resident Evil 1-5 from the Xbox Live or PSN store. This edition costs $89.99 but you are getting RE Director's Cut, RE:2. RE: 3 Nemesis, RE: 4 HD edition, RE: 5 Gold Edition and RE: 6 so do the math you're only paying $30 for 5 more games and RE: 5 includes all the DLC available for it further increasing your savings and the awesome factor of this bundle. This Edition has an availability limit so get yours before they run out! Resident Evil 6 will be available on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on October 12, 2012 and at a later date for the PC.
