Resident Evil 6, the game that saved the franchise...by almost killing it.
@@amirgarcia547 I'm not sure I'd directly compare them. RE6 was the culmination in a path they had started on since 4 and kept going further and further away each time.
DmC was one asshole saying that Dante wasn't cool enough and making him a bitch.
I mean, if it wasnt such a catastrophic failure we might not have seen the change in direction for 7, or the excellent remake and the other, mostly OK remake. Itd be a weird thing to take credit for but you're not wrong
@Dominic dominic you need to chill out Dominic. We get it, you liked 6
@Dominic dominic If you read my second comment, you would see that I specifically said that it started with 4. It was a process, but 6 was the breaking point for a lot of people.
I personally liked 6, but I'm not going to lie to myself about it's impact, both positive and negative.
So basically resident evil works on Saiyan rules
I still can't over how in the cutscene Sherry's able to heal from a freaking helicopter propeller through her spine, but in the actual game she doesn't have a Wolverine-type auto-heal ability.
Heheheh Like u said, it was in a cutscene
They said she had the g virus stuff in her from resident evil 2. So I dunno...but still its really just dumb
@@WannbeSomeGuyWithLongHair I mean, I'm okay with her having a 'healing' factor. What I couldn't understand was why the 'healing' factor didn't exist when playing the game when it was shown to exist in the cutscene. Lol. It's like you're playing with Wolverine in a game and the actual gameplay doesn't allow him to regenerate health.
@@ajraven5145 total agreement 👍
If you get this almost dead mode with Sherry, and you calling for your partner, she yells "Can´t regenate... fast enough !"
I hate the internet. 8 years later and I still can’t unsee the giraffe
the what
@@liaminator4950 re6 logo looks like a giraffe getting blown by a dude
I remember that, People were joking about the logo looking like a guy, standing with a chair fucking a giraffe. Or giving head to a giraffe X3
Yes.
Maaan why
I actually like the concept of “different characters = different experiences” that RE6 tried to do. Problem was that the four characters you played as are so similar that the play styles also became too similar with only minor differences- you had “soldier who fights monsters for a living,” “agent who fights monsters for a living,” “son of the OP former antagonist who inherited his ability to fight monsters,” and “spy who’s been fighting monsters for a living longer than any of the others.”
I think Revelations 2 and RE7 ended up nailing what RE6 tried to do. In Rev2, you had the segments with Claire and Barry which obviously weren’t scary, but then the segments with Moira felt more tense, and the Natalia episode which was textbook survival horror.
And in RE7 you had the base game with Ethan which was a definite survival horror experience, and then the “Not a Hero” campaign with Chris that is different from the base game in all the right ways, so that the experience feels distinct (you never feel worried or afraid when playing Chris’s campaign, because obviously there’d be no reason to be scared; you’re Chris fucking Redfield).
Yeah, they definitely learn from their mistakes... glad RE franchise finally bounce back, now they will release RE4 remake, and i can't wait to play it
Revelations 2 is much better than RE7 as a RE game, and RE7 isn't that scary. Of course Rev2 wasn't that scary but it had more menacing enemies than what RE7 had to offer which was barely nothing.
I didn't love RE6, didn't hate it either. It was good enough. What I liked about it and thought was cool was it had something for everyone depending on what campaign they picked. Can't remember specifics but I remember that some were more like the originals, and some more action oriented like 4 and 5. I interpreted that as they were trying to please a wide range of fans since some preferred the new direction more whilst others liked the original formula.
Late reply to an old comment but I'm just writing to nitpick what you said about Ada. She's a corporate spy and RE2 was the first time a zombie outbreak ever occurred in RE lore. So she's only been fighting monsters as long as Leon, and since the mansion incident happened a month prior to Raccoon City, Chris has been in the fight longer than both of them.
"I'm not at the beach. This is a bathtub"
Zach the Sports Guy It’s in a porno.
Where is this from?
@@NewToCool74 maybe from one of the American Pie movies
@@eldridgecharles1313 i meant the animation used in this video for the bathtub scene with Leon and Ada.
@@NewToCool74 just look for "Ada wong bathtub" on youtube lol. It's an 8 second video
06:16 I don't know why but the RE2 Leon bathtub skit makes me laugh every time I see it.
me too bro
That's Fucking SPOT ON what Leon would say ! HAHAHA!!! Wait was that an Unlocked Deleted Scene ? From Res2 Remake ?? I'm still trying to get through that Game on Hardcore Mode.
There's an alternate universe where that's the last scene in the game.
The extended version is unlocked at the end of No Hope mode.
This is such a small thing, but I need to say this:
That transition Matt uses of all those blue skulls falling into a pile like marbles or whatever? I love that.
“Chris!?”
“Leon?!”
“Spongebob!”
Awesome 😂
The exciting conclusion to RE’s midlife crisis phase
This is a perfect description 😂😂😂
lol, to ture.
@Cpt Dinosaur But it didn't flop alot of people bought it and was the highest selling Capcom game before MH World.
@@tmerchead1 Except it was a flop because it didn't meet Capcom's sales expectations. RE5 was also their highest selling game for a long period of time.
@Ryan Stewart Personally I'm with you on that, but I know that's a beloved game to many.
4:50 "So how do we make it so we can sell it to people adverse to horror ?"
Oh I don't know DINO CRISIS, if only you had an IP similar DINO CRISIS without the horror DINO CRISIS, that would be DINO CRISIS nice, huh ?
I feel like your trying to say something, but I can’t tell what it is.
@@PunkRockMohawk something crisis? or dino something?? it's on the tip of my tongue but....
I mean, they seriously painted themselves into a wall, story wise, when it came to Dino Crisis.
@@limmynade pretty sure you're thinking about Resident Evil. I mean it didn't have any zombies. Just some kind of weird plant monsters.
Are you thinking of Crino Disis?
The Ada/Leon "bathtub" reference slayed me dude. Some good laughs in this video.
Can we just talk about how awesome and fun Jake's hand to hand combat is?
And how good of a character he is as well?
They need to leave the traditional survivor horror with puzzles to the mainline games. And the spin-offs can be the co-op action ones.
Not a bad idea.
Seems like a sound idea.
This is a good idea. I would love for Capcom to try to do RE4 again, that would be great! I just don’t want that in the mainline series. Maybe in the spin off games, they can make the stories intentionally silly and shit. Like maybe Wesker comes back as Robo-Wesker.
Peppino Touchdown I agree with every thing but the remaster of RE4 I think the controls are only good with the thought of it belonging to the 6th generation but the game wouldn’t work the same way without them to... same goes to RE5 unless it’s to fix the Sheva’s AI
You could also do co-op horror. Just because a game is co-op doesn't mean you can't do horror.
You just have to make sure the players feel vulnerable. If you give them massive machine guns with essentially unlimited ammo, no amount of horror imagery is going to scare them.
"Making a RE game for people who don't like RE games" sounds pretty much like what they did with DmC.
An RE game for people who don't like RE.
So...Dead Rising?
Capcom's weird
@@qeridexis8604 The specific decisions in each game are definetly different, but it sounds like both directions come from the same general politics that Capcom had at the moment
That's extremely accurate!
@@MegaManXPoweredUp no. Resident Evil 4.
Honestly, I found this game to be rather enjoyable. I remember being surprised by a AAA game having that much content that wasn't just something like the Ubisoft open world checklist.
I would play a successor to RE6 gameplay with vanquish elements thrown in and probablly like it a lot(less or no QTEs though). But imo RE6 clearly wasn't what I wanted from that franchise specifically.
I also had lots of fun with it, playing it mostly co-op with my niece.
The game still sells today.
@@Rogerioapsandrade It's such a good co-op game. I keep replaying it with various people online. Even the "competetive" gamemodes are pretty fun, especially agent hunt & letting other players invade your campaign. Definitely spices things up!
If RE6 wasn't an RE game and was an intentionally stupid over the top action shooter that was an original IP I think it would have gone down well. Especially if the QTEs were removed.
@@abletothink Exactly, more gameplay and less movies.
1-3: old school era
4-6: action era
7-8(maybe 9): First Person Horror era
Making games to appeal to *"EVERYONE"*
Now that's a bad decision..
I remember on the very first day of my business course, the teacher drilled into our heads: Know yyour key demographic. It can't be everyone, because your product or business will never appeal to everyone. So target the people who WILL be interested in what you're selling".
Seems like Capcom never learned that lesson...
@@handsdowntoo7150
Same thing is happening to the USA's movie industry.
@@handsdowntoo7150 Fortunately with RE2 and RE7 it looks like Capcom did learn their lesson :)
@@YukitoOnline Not really, just depends on what movies you're actually paying attention to.
@@stevenedenfield7978 don't agree with with RE7, the gameplay is okay i guess if you like that kinda thing, the story was absolute shit. Filled with plot holes.
I actually loved how the campaigns overlapped at certain points, but agree that a single, more focused campaign with all the characters showing up as supporting figures in the story would’ve probably worked much better.
@@ClaireZhasa nah I always hated the controls and ui the most. The nonstop action and so many plotlines isn't as bad imo. It's the whole feel of the game that sucks.
@@Walamonga1313 I agree. Idk what it is but something about the game just doesn’t feel right when you play it. The controls just don’t feel good. I don’t hate it but it’s my least favorite resident evil forsure
@@ClaireZhasa i enjoyed many aspects of it, but maybe it should have been three smaller re revelations type games. They could have kept an action based re game, that added more back story. While then focusing on survival horror for the main line games
That's actually the only aspect of the game I thought was cool. Too bad I tried it 8 years too late and didn't get to overlap with anybody.
@@Walamonga1313 i agree .. the controls are bad, UI is not good, skill upgrade (tryin add some RPG mechanism here ?), too many QTE, and others aspect that i don't feel this is a Resident Evil games i know. I played this for 4 hours and doesn't had the thrill, fun or enjoying the Resident Evil games i used to know.
“It’s so dense. Every single frame has something going on in it.” - Capcom exec
This was kinda my guilty pleasure...i just loved the way they even changed the hud's in every story. It also had a genius co-op system with branching paths and players coming together at some points...sometimes up to 4 players at once over multiple campaigns.
I really liked that if you played in a 4 person group, 2 would play as Sherry and Jake, and the other 2 as Chris and Piers, along with the game sticking with the chronological order of each mission, instead of the normal order.
LAME GAME
I loved that mechanic and hope other games incorporate that idea too
Clowns farting in the basement is a nice touch. Honestly Matt, you are killing it with your recent output, quality videos on a super regular basis.
Can't have enough of those Clowns farting in the basement
I can never look at the cover without noticing the giraffe getting blown.

@Darth Kennedy one man's revelation
RE6 holds a special place in my heart, I remember playing it with a friend on no hope difficulty as our first run. It's a survival horror alright, you don't have any ammo and have to rely on wonky melee system to pull through - Chris' campaign was hell on earth. But it was still genuinely fun, even if it's the exact opposite of the classic RE formula.
Aside from that, I felt really entertained by the sheer insanity and cheesiness of the plot and setpieces, lightspeed pacing and over the top voice acting and dialogue in cutscenes. It has this sort of unique charm to it that is hard to explain, and, while I might catch flak for that, RE series to me was always cheesy, be it in form of Barry "You Were Almost A Jill Sandwich" Burton, giant secret laboratories built under mansions/railway stations/cathedrals/etc, generic doomsday plots or virus strain of the week with increasingly convoluted effects.
I've always loved this about the series and have grown to expect that sort of charm from future RE titles.
Re6 has the best Mercenaries
@@solidsnake4236RE4 Remake Mercenaries: hold my beer
@@jonahbrown5669 Laugh in 5.
I played the entire story with my cousin and it was a blast. Not necessarily a good game, but a great time.
I agree the game is fun but I feel that it missed its mark greatly and steer away too far into unknown territory and I blame the game industry not necessarily the industry but what is popular doesn't always mean it's going to be good by adding it into something that's not necessarily what it is.
Worst game ever
There was also numerous changes to the stories of RE6 and it does show as well, take a look at Chris's campaign it was hyping up Chris's death at numerous points through out the campaign and that's because he was originally gonna die in RE6 but due to story changes instead of Chris dying it was Pierce who unlike Chris was introduced to the RE series via a comic book so this character appearing in a video game wouldn't have had a huge impact compared to Chris who has been in numerous entries for the series. Speaking of story changes Jake wasn't even originally gonna be considered Wesker's son in fact he was probably not even gonna be in RE6 but would have been replaced with Wesker himself as Wesker was considered by the team to be brought back after RE5 (which likely would have fed right into the original story arch for Chris's campaign before the change), even Helena was a replacement for another character as originally Claire was gonna be Leon's partner but since she was reserved for Revelations 2 at the time they couldn't have her in RE6.
Cursed Hawkins I’m a bad for thinking killing of Chris would have made a bigger impact? Like I love Chris but if one core character were to die I think it would make the most sense to be Chris or Jill.
@@magita1991 A lot of people (maybe even yourself Magita) grew up with the original trilogy of RE so they "bonded" with Chris and Jill as they were growing up so for Capcom to kill one of these characters off would have had a massive impact on the fan base because they grew up with this character. Its like that scene (spoilers by the way but the movie's been out a while now) in Toy Story 3 I think it was where everyone just waited to be incinerated because they knew they couldn't out run the belt.
Leon and Claire making quips to each other every 5 minutes would have deffinatky made the campaign better
I probably would have liked Leon's campaign a little more if it were Leon and Claire snarking at each other the entire game, honestly.
@@Penncentral-vr6mg Well the reason to why she wasn't included in 6 apart from her being used for Revelations 2 was also because since you encounter Sherry literally twice during Leon's campaign the interaction between the two wouldn't have been very long.
RE5 Barrels : **Just ignites and blows up normally.**
RE6 Barrels : **A freaking Nuke goes off infront of you.**
It's like in some old American movies where whole screen engulfed in flames.
At least its not a JPEG like some games (looks at Sonic adventure 2)
@@maegnificant Really? In RE5 they just spill over and ignite. Even RE4 had more "impactful" barrels than that.
He didn't compare the same type of barrels.The one he shows from RE6 is your classic video game red barrel. The barrels he shows from RE5 are smaller, have yellow bands/black X's on them, and there are a few of them grouped together. They are for spreading fire on the oil spills, not exploding in a plume of fire. The comparison would still hold up if these were the only barrels in RE5, but they are not. You can find your classic red barrel elsewhere in the game, pretty easily in mercenaries mode. These are the barrels he should be comparing, and when you do, the explosions aren't much different.
Sorry for posting a "Well Actually," comment.
The classic exploding barrels of RE5 and RE6 I think are identical, the flame effect on the RE6 barrels just last longer.
I really loved this game as it's really funny at some moments. The slow af but ridiculously huge explosion wave at the start of the game was especially just amazing
Why cant games be created without the idea that every single person considered the "general public" has to be pandered to? Why cant games exist that appeal to specific genres and dominate in the field rather than creating a grey muddied boring mess.
money. money. we greedy. we like money precious.
Since AAA games are so expensive to make nowadays that if you want to make a profit it's incredibly difficult unless you try to appeal to everyone rather than a small niche.
Everyone said it already.. It's Money.. To make a game st this scope. There's alot to consider aside from making the game's Engine/assets/plot.. You stll have Budget/Estimated time to finish/Target Market because that will project profit because as you know.. Capcom is a Company owned by Shareholders (A bunch of dude who group up together to earn more money)..
So you need to make the project Feasible enough that your shareholders will willingly bet their money in your game to be profitable.. Because without their money you won't be able to make the game at all.
@Surf Surfing Trash game flops and makes no money. When you grow up you'll understand.
@@vivid8979 Shareholders are greedy idiots with heads up their asses so I'm glad that justifys bad games getting made. Go captialism!
"Horror Entertainment" seems to be basically the same thing as WWE calling wrestling "Sports Entertainment". It shows that they don't understand what their fans want.
Not to mention it implicitly says that the thing isn't actually "entertainment". As if they're ashamed to be what they really are
I can tell what they meant, though. The vast majority of horror fans are not actually scared by horror anymore. They just want entertainment that has the surface elements of horror which they identify with. That's why horror comedies are so prevalent. Evil Dead, Dead Alive, and most horror sequels after the second or third entry are all horror seen from the point of view of someone who has seen so much horror that it's lost all meaning and become funny.
@@billvolk4236 In a way, that's how I feel about horror stuff. I don't exactly enjoy being relentlessly scared so something like the Castlevania show is great cause it's like an action show in a horror world with horror monsters but it's also fun.
@DejaVoodooDoll Precisely why I lost interest years ago in thier shows, but not in wrestling itself which is why I'm currently in *love* with AEW right now. They do storylines better and have more unique and interesting wrestlers. They know how to better incorporate the story within the actual wrestling and not 20 minute monlogues.
I would disagree its an accurate term to describe pro wrestling.
Man, only thing I remember from this game was that stupid "Leon getting hit by train bunch of times" section. And I have to admit, it was funny actually.
Especially if you imagine Chris punching the train into Leon for not continuing the Redfield Bloodline.
I don't think, on my run-through, Leon got hit by the train much. I had to think which section you meant.
What I remember clearest is having to scramble him up that damn tower with those horrible controls. Never again. NEVER again.
Delta Spark NO THANKS BRO
RE6, also known as the absolute best mercenaries game that sadly cost a ton of money
Huh?
To this day it is still the only game that perfected the mercenaries experience due to it's surprisingly diverse gameplay controls.
That's part of the reason I say re 6 was a proper conclusion. Everything built since 4 came to a head both narratively and mechanically. Mercenaries is by far my favorite game mode and 6 was the best, plus l4d characters on steam. As much as people hate 6 a lot was taken from it to make the REmakes. Love it or hate it there will never be another game quite like re6
Playing it again right now and enjoying the hell out of it. As long as you don't expect a survival horror game and take it for what it is, it delivers IMO.
it’s literally a survival horror tho☠️there are still some scary things in the game which is why i never understood why ppl always say this
@@dantestryder scary things in a game doesnt automatically make it a horror game. And its not really a ''Survival'' game if you effortlesy kill everything that moves
The best thing about RE6, characters meet ups, reunions, Sherry post RE2, and the who's who of current voice work (Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Roger Craig Smith, Courtenay Taylor, Yuri Lowenthal, Eden Riegel and Troy Baker)
That being said, if this was a success, we would've NEVER got the phoenix rising moment we have now with Resident Evil, it's a blessing really.
what is really weird is that RE6 was actually a success! Today it is the second Capcom best seller game and no subsequent RE game surpassed its sales.
@@Rogerioapsandrade It wasn't really a success. Capcom was expecting it to sell well in excess of what it's even currently sold (remember that Capcom expected the game to sell 7 million copies just during the launch period, not throughout its life), and lost millions of dollars in development costs that they could not recoup in any way, shape, or form.
@@Jose-se9pu But if it cost a shitload of money whats the use? You can sell more but that doesnt make it a succes.
Honestly I'm not a big fan of were Resident Evil's going with the hole first person thing. The last RE that I played and liked was 4.
@@Jose-se9pu it's not a success , this is n ot some DMC4 situation , RE6 essentially made 3-4 games into one and sell for $60.
They even had 600 employees!
When you have the development cost been the same as two RE5 , with a sales number the same as RE5 , it IS a failure than over-expactation.
I enjoyed 6. Mostly cause my buddy and I couldn't stop laughing and making fun of the Chris campaign. An anti-material rifle? And he hip fires it?!
I made an entire character build around quick-shots with the anti-material rifle just because they're so fucking dumb to look at.
Ronin Martinez He isn’t the one who gets the Anti-Material rifle though. It’s his second-in-command that actually looks human as far as muscle mass goes.
@@fenrirsrage4609 But Chris wasn't the one holding the using the rifle, it was Piers (an assuredly normal human and not a boulder punching god-man)
Yo, are you me? I had the same exact experience.
@@tiraelrosenburg345 Possibly. My buddy and I loved 6 because it was just so goofy. 5 was fun too. We still find ourselves yelling, "Sheva! Hurry!" whenever we find a "co-op door" in a video game.
i remember being in highschool and all of my friends and i bought one copy of the game and laughing our asses off with the over the top michel bay tier action, good times.
Even Revelations 2 had a heavy emphasis on survival horror, with most of the super action stuff being involved with enemies rather than super cgi spectacles. Actually got the shit scared out of me at times
@@paulakroy2635 Compared to 6 ? Nah it was god send.
I got to playing it after all those years, and it was a breath of fresh air after i played 5-6... It is clunky, and the ttalent system is dogshit, but ambiance is at least cool ...
Revelations 2 is great. Don't care about the graphics, they are good enough. Better than 6, 7 and RE3 Remake.
@@captainredfield1179 They're definitely not better than 7 /remake. Better than 6, but that's all.
Game is good, but it's not visually better than the most recent entries.
@@crysosisback7115 I didn't mean it was visually better than the recent ones. I meant I liked it more than 6,7 and the 3 Remake. I have to admit, that this wasn't clear.
@@captainredfield1179 Oh well
Well then i'd say i prefer 2remake over it, but it's better than 3remake and 6 (especially 6, even if in coop it's "a decent game", it's still a shit resident evil overall)
"Capcom lacked many big hits in the 7th generation, outside of a few exceptions" (Throws up image of Dead Rising, a shlocky B-movie styled horror game)
Capcom: We can't POSSIBLY just make Resident Evil 6 a shlocky B-movie styled horror game! That would never sell in today's market!
well they managed to kill that series too
Would've been cool if they outright connected the Dead Rising series to RE though.
RE4 was kind of a shlocky B-movie affair, and that was fucking incredible.
My favorite part about RE6 comes right at the beginning in Leon's tutorial.
As you're running across the roofs of cars to get to a helicopter as huge explosions pop off behind you, this guy jumps out of the chopper to provide you 'covering fire'...
AND MAKES NO EFFORT TO GET BACK ON. HE JUST LETS HIMSELF DIE. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO STAY. HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN RESIDENT EVIL 6 ANY MORE THAN WE DID.

Haha Leon is not a part of the system 😎
Man, I don't know how you crank out quality info-tainment like this on such a consistent schedule, but this is some of my favorite stuff on RUclips lately
The RE 6 combat system had way more depth than alot of people realize or give it credit for. If it were in a proper action game, not supposed to be horror like RE? Would've been cool.
This video is very well made and hugely cathartic. Well done, man! If anything, at least we have an RE game where we can do an entire ground roll run through.
When I saw this in my recommended I literally exclaimed with joy. One of my favorite channels, ironically covering one of my favorite games. Thank you so much Matt.
I LOVE WH too. If I can’t sleep or something I just binge-watch What Happened. It’s fascinating, funny, clever, and just a fun watch. There is so much potential too. So many games that deserve the WH treatment. My personal hope is for episode Indiana Jones And The Staff of Kings someday.
I stopped playing Resident Evil 6 for this.
No, seriously. I'm going through all the RE games and I'm currently at RE6.
@Paul Jakens Yes!
@@rayd3657 7's amazing.
Who do I believe?
RE6 has a good design of combat, even though the game lacks alot in story department, it is a very fun action game all things considered, finished story mode campaigns twice and played tons of mercenaries, mercenaries no mercy and DLC gamemodes (Onslaught, Siege and Survivors). 273 hours in total. Very fun action game, mediocre Resident Evil game.
@@katytis2012 lol

That idea of different characters with different play styles is kinda cool.

@Esben M he meant its just as shit
@@georgedudleysashtray3860 *Team Fortress 2
woolie: JAKE IS COOL THO
If the gameplay didn't feel so bad, it would've been properly fun. Its just so imprecise and clunky. It's not stiff (well, restrictive is a better word) and smooth like other REs, but it just feels so loose. The ui and inventory are terrible too. Then you've the completely unnecessary focus on melee moves that just look dumb...
When I saw my first suplex being casually thrown out in RE4, I knew this wrestling fest was going to be the final destination.
Of course that's what the most replayed part of this video is.
I want Lost Planet back!
Oh god yes remember what they did to the third one?
Lost Planet RP:
1. Get hit
2. Sit through a 15 second long animation of your character getting back up - whilst getting hit some more
3. Get back up
4. Get hit
5. Sit through a 15 second long animation of your character stumbling
6. Get back up
7. Get hit
8. Sit through a 25 second animation of a boss doing some sort of unavoidable damage to you
9. Scream loudly
10. Keep playing with a red face
You and me both, man. You and me both.
man I love RE6, it's not a great RE game, but a really fun action and coop game, always get back to it after some time, also great merc mode.
I also kind of liked RE6. I was a massive RE4 fan. Sure, 6 is a bad RE game but I enjoyed it.
Hopefully another big budget action horror game gets made by SOMEONE because I loced that shit. Even Dead Space 3 had its moments.
James Downs re 5 and 6 are amazing co-op games, any re fan who says it isn’t is just salty. It’s just not a good Re game so of course the fans were gonna be mad
What an exciting video. It is fascinating to see what happened on the production of this big messy game. I love it to death and it made me a big fan of the series.
The timing on that RE2 joke was absolutely goddamn flawless, I wheezed out loud when he finally said "... GOOD!"
I just loved all of the Resident Evils
I see you everywhere 😅
You are giving me so much closure it's therapeutic.
Man, I can hardly wait to see you do a "Wha Happun?" video on the Resident Evil 3 remake.
I love Resi 6. No matter what anyone says, the game feels really good to play because of its mechanics, the story is serviceable but I liked the interaction between the mainstays of the series.
It suprises me that they had over 600 people working on this game. When it first came out I remember talking with friends thinking that it was rushed out and then many of us just thought that it didnt have the polish that RE 5 had.
I have played through the game and yet it's the only game in the franchise I've never played again. Soooo, I dont know if that means anything or not, but there it is.
It's a decent action shooty game, but campaign's plot is not the greatest. Feels rather inconsistent and too bombastic and cliche'd. Still, you can get tons of replayability from extra gamemodes (mercenaries, agent hunt) and from DLC PVP gamemodes (if you have a friend that can also buy those DLC gamemodes, since DLC gamemodes are tumbleweed town - nobody plays them). Fun action game, bad RE game. All things considered, a solid 8/10 game but could have been better IMO
It had a massive amount of people, but those people all that deal with too much. That said I actually like it because of it's stupidity, I just don't want every RE game afterward to follow it. There's lots of completely serious but extremely dumb action games and while Resident Evil 6 is one of if not THE most entertaining, there's far fewer horror games, let alone good horror games.
At least go back for Mercenaries, it's by far the best in the entire franchise.
Don't blame you, it's crap
Hey Matt/Matt's editor! The sound effect you added for when the little matt heads cover the screen is a great addition. Glad you added it! The videos are dope as always
It may have lost the survival horror element, but it is most bang for your buck. It is one of the longest play time in all RE franchise, most playable characters and diverse locations and enemies. I wish they could remake this and add horror elements on Jake and Ada campaign and specifically on leon campaign.
We went from punching a Boulder to zombies with guns. It was time for a do over
Most of my initial enjoyment of RE6 was nostalgia. "WOAH all my favorite characters and i can play as Sherry hell yeah." Called up a friend and played split screen. It also has the best version of Mercenaries. But..... it doesn't balance the action and horror as well as 4 and felt a little old. RE4 was so amazing because it was a departure from traditional RE formula while retaining the tone and tension. RE needs to continually make drastic gameplay changes like 4 and 7 did to stay fresh. 6 failed to really do this but its still a very enjoyable game.
I love episodes where you get into how some of these games may not be considered awful or something, but may still have interesting development cycles or surprising fallout from their release
I recently went back to replay this.
I liked the plot and concept of playing story mode with a buddy, but it could've been handled so much better...Yet I still had some fun.
Well, Resident Evil 6 is still one of my favorites in the franchise. I found it better than 5. It's not really a horror game, but as an action game, it is amazing.
RE6 is a couch co-op masterpiece
RE has been a long running victim of 'We need to go bigger' with every instalment. I've never found the global scope settings to be as effective as 'here's a claustrophobic building with lots of secrets in the middle of nowhere, go and explore.' Less is more as they say, and RE6 very much became a victim of its own stupid scale.
I wouldn't even rate RE5 that highly were it not for Wesker being the main villain. That character literally carried what was otherwise a mediocre game reliant on clumsy AI support.
David Bates exactly! Going bigger isn’t always better, especially for a franchise like RE. I mean I think the smaller more claustrophobic setting is one of the things that made RE7 really good imo.
@@jeremyroberts8822 RE7 is so overrated it's crazy. Lol Atleast RE6 had replayability.. RE7 is BORING AF on your 2nd or 3rd playthrough.
I never played RE7 so can't really comment, but the top RE experiences for me were definitely the mansion, the island in Code Veronica, RE4's castle etc etc. But I've always been a bit more of a puzzle and exploration gamer.
I think that's why I'm a bit more into Silent Hill even though the gameplay has always been a rung below RE's. Having a static map and opening areas up I find far more interesting than running down the static corridor with an open world background taking potshots at the things moving on the side.
Agreed but I did like 5. It was fun to play and was one single adventure, not like the clusterfuck that was RE6.
As a RE fan, I hate Resident Evil 6 but I find it fascinating to analyse. So I really liked this video. And I also really liked the conclusion about the "necessary evil". I agree. Would The Dark Knight have existed without the disaster of Batman and Robin?
This was my first game into the series. Personally I loved it. I liked the characters and the multiple story's, because each one felt different. I had fun playing 7 but I dunno I just didn't like it as much as 6. It's not because don't like horror games; I love them. I just didn't like it as much
I played every RE game.
RE6 was fun af.
@@eastbayej I've played almost all RE games and I can say that RE6 is one of the most fun specially with a friend, but for a resident evil game it had too much action, but at the same time it really was needed if we wanted to have a masterpiece like RE2 remake, I respect RE6 for what it did and I hope there are more games like it in the future as spinoffs.
1st McMuscles video... won't be my last!! I expected some good humour, hoped for some info and insight.... What i did not anticipate or for was big boy gaming journalism! Glad Matt's still bringing his unique take to the gaming community, he's a treasure
I like the idea of different campaigns that all feel slightly different. The old Sonic Adventure games were pretty interesting when they did that. It didn't always WORK, but it always felt like you had SO much content.
For some reason I always though the rope release sound in the intro was Matt doing a wheezing laugh.
I'm not gonna lie, RE6 is quite possibly my favorite game in the franchise. I played re4, some of re5 and the first re, re darkside chronicles, re revelations... I just had so much fun with it, and I deceloped such a deep affection for all of the characters. Jake and Sherry's dynamic made me audibly chuckle several times, and I was genuinely upset/sad about (spoilers!) Piers' death/self sacrifice. Maybe I'm just biased because I have great, funny memories of playing this with my aunt who introduced me to the franchise, but RE6 just has such a special place in my heart.
Both of the revelation games are really high up there too though, soecifically Revelations 2 for the same reason (playing it and making memories with my aunt)
Re net is still pretty good though, the fact they’re still supporting the old games in the current year is impressive
So we got our RE6 cheesy action-fest, and this convinced Capcom to redo the classic games and stick to the more horror-based elements that made the series so popular to begin with?
This is basically the "having your cake and eating it too" for RE fans.
@Esben M
I'll dig it. I'm a Kingdom Hearts fan AND a college student; time is a theoretical concept to me.
Speaking of Capcom games that were simplified to the point where it turned away it's hardcore fans, Dead Rising 4 when?
Deadass forgot DR4 even existed. That was such a dumpster fire of a game
You got your wish. 🙂
For the record, this was oddly enough the only RE game I ever played so I can't really say whether it's a good or bad RE game, but it's a game I have some of the fondest memories of as it's one of the best COOP games I've ever played. Squirming around on our backs, my best friend bitching that I get an anti-matter rifle and (Spoiler) a fucking lightning arm to fight goop-thulu. It was one of the most fun and engaging games I played in a long time, and I have not found a Co-op game as through as RE6 to date.
That was a very intelligent and insightful video! Well done!
I tell you what happened, I have to play it that's what happened >:(
Sorry to hear :p
Fancy seeing you here Indeimaus. Having fun with Dead Space?
Have fun kings.
i'm still waiting for a RE6 video from you man
@@MattMcMuscles
I've been petitioning for the return of all Silent Hill Games remastered for the X Box One Console.
I'm waiting for Doom Eternal to arrive at Game Stop.
I pre ordered the extra bonus addition of that because Doom is a favorite of mine.
I want to get Dead By Daylight I've seen walk through videos of it.
Friday the Thirteenth Game is pretty good I have this one unfortunately Savini Jason is no longer available to get.
any information on how to open the back door. Where to use the three dimensional glasses.
and what to do with the moon shine jug in virtual cabin would be most helpful. Alain wanna unlock all the passwords in virtual cabin.
I'd like to play as councilors find every Pamela Voorhees tapes.
and yes be able to kill Jason for good in Camp Crystal Lake.
another good thing about the Friday Thriteenrh game is information on the movies.
other info is about the councilors weapons used props and more.
an old game not talked about called Maxwell Manor has potential to return I think so.
and Mortal Kombat games have one that unlocks Freddy Kruger.
something a lot of fans would enjoy seeing the old slashers come back again.
Five Nights At Freddy Games are just alright. I play them every now and then but enjoy the action horror games a lot more.
and there are parody versions of the Five Nights Games. but one a lot of guys will enjoy is the Five Nights in Anime.
hot female animatronics want to kiss and rub their tits all over the new night guard. yeah it's sexy and a horror game which looks more like a comedy porno.
call of Duty Zombies is another one I have. I've also got the game Resident Evil Biohazard.
there is talk of a new Splinter Cell game I don't know when it is coming to game stores.
Quake is a game I'd like to see make another come back.
well I'm getting back to playing more action see ya later.
I'm surprised you did a "What happened" on this game. I loved the hell out of this game.
Sorry, you mean the most divisive mainline title in the series of all time, with some of the lowest review scores to boot?
@@MattMcMuscles then again without this I fear we wouldnt of had re7 or the remakes.
Edit: just got to the part where you said this xD
omg, kudos for all that work!
The john woo gun play with how you can shoot from ground and roll/frantically kick backwards under tables and stuff would have be super cool in resident evil 4 remake💯💯💯💯 i just played RE6 yesterday and spent probably 15 minutes just enjoying that game mechanic alone.
Well said at the end. I'm glad Capcom has been on this path of redemption in this generation.
ngl still a very fun game after all these years but yeah it was also a step down from the prevous series
The biggest problem in terms of enjoyability was that virtually every enemy had attacks that triggered QTE. Get swarmed by basic zombies and you are hammering buttons constantly. The game is way more fun on easy because they are automatic.
Take that away and you've got a pretty decent action game.
@@zeroattentiongaming820 My thoughts exactly
@@DMCMaster550 The difference is that the enemies in RE4 and 5 aren't constantly spamming their grab attacks in huge groups like the ones in 6. 6 might give you more mechanics to deal with it, but that requires a higher skill level just to avoid them than 4 and 5. A baseline skill level to make the game not annoying instead of to meet a challenge.
I loved the John Wu style shooting and diving around. It was also tons of fun using the contextual environmental melee actions- slamming a zombies head into a nearby car and scrabbling around desperately was amazing. Had tons of fun playing this with my brother but maybe it would've been better received if it wasn't called a Resident Evil game.
Oh man, the Sweet Home music. What a great way to tie into the origins of RE!
4:38 I see Matt still has his archenemy.
This game would have been better if i was in it
Honestly it was a chance to get leon/claire and chris/jill teams again. Jake was fine, but introducing 3 new characters in a game doesnt give much time to develop them
Yeah! Where were you and Jill? I'm not mad, just disappointed. Things went decently well, but I'm sure the other guys would've appreciated you being there
Your bro has a steroid problem, get the talking pillow ready coz it's time for an intervention.
@@felixcastro6844
True.
@@felixcastro6844 good point
That song at the ending! XD
second video this week I've seen to have RE: Directors Cut farty OST in the ending. Thank you for bringing this smile back to my face.
RE franchise is amazing in every main line installment from RE1-7. I have to say, RE4-6 were the most fun though. RE 4 and 6 both had arcadey gameplay that kept me coming back for more and RE 5 is probably my favorite co op game of all time. With that said the other RE titles are amazing experiences.
The early 2010's of gaming was really marred by companies trying to apeal to a "general audience". And then you have so many companies doing it that when square releases octopath and bravely default with raging success they say "we were surprised that our customers who got us off the ground by playing our turn based jrpgs, would want to play turn based jrpgs"
"We wanted to make a thing, but we know there are people who don't like thing because reason. We set out to make a thing that would somehow entice people who don't like thing to now start to like thing."
Wha did they think would happun when the people who already liked thing found that new thing was nothing like, or at least quite different, from the thing they used to love?
that "Sweet Home" track playing in the background though 🙌🏼
5:38 that is one sexy-ass transition Matt! A winner is you 💀💀💀💀
Two Wha Happuns in a week?
[Ricky Bobby’s sons:TWO CHRISTMASES!]
Yo love your channel, keep the good work!
I honestly liked how the narratives crossed and some levels would have all the main characters. Completed the campaign with my friend love the addition of splitscreen.
This game was great i thought. Especially after playing 5. I still play it to this day. It wasn’t the best RE but i felt satisfied playing it.
