Resident Evil Gets a Complete Reboot With RE6 - Image 1

Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) may mark the end of an era. In an interview with 1UP, Producer Jun Takeuchi says that we'll be seeing a reboot when the next game comes out. Here's an introduction to the interview by James Mielke:

In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game's producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable Resident Evil 6.

That's not to suggest that there's anything wrong with the evil at hand. Quite the opposite; it's awesome fun, and we've beaten the game from beginning to end, and have a week's worth of detailed, insider info for you to enjoy.

"The last of its kind"? "A reboot is in order"? Are we in for completely new gameplay, or a completely new RE universe? Will we at least finally be able to shoot while mobile? We'll know by tomorrow, when 1UP releases the full interview with Takeuchi.

I highly doubt we'll ever see another RE similar to RE1 through 0. A reboot could mean a genre change, but we don't need another F.E.A.R.-like FPS. Plus, RE is popular enough in America so there's no need for that.

A reboot in the story could be a good thing. With the same characters and personalities and just do things differently. As long as they don't try to follow the movie's storyline. I'm thinking something similar to a Casino Royale type reboot.

Unfortunately I'm expecting something along the lines of the Outbreak series or expanding with the co-op idea in RE5. Probably leeching off Left 4 Dead's success.

i was hopin they'd stick to the re4 gameplay for a while longer, i love the over the shoulder view.

I agree too, I also like not moving and shooting, I don't want this to become too main stream...

o man...I pray that capcom stops selling out and goes back to the way resident evil is supposed be...actually scary and includes more ZOMBIES..and less useless explosions..I mean I dont hate the new over the shoulder ACTION! packed shooter gameplay but that wasnt why i started liking resident evil, I just think games like re4 and re5 should have just been side projects like resident evil outbreak or dead aim..

I think it would be fantastic if they went back to the old scheme, even if only for a single game. i loved 1 through 3 and Code Veronica even more than 4!

they're gonna start again at the beginning with the mansion.

got to admit, the games have become a little confusing due to straying off with different infectons etc!

I personally would think it would be soo cool if they redid the first one again for this gen, but I wouldn't bet on it!!

I could imagine how much sucking you do already.......

# LOL — SKUD 2009-03-03 02:31

Suckety Suck Suck.........KA-CHING! Get real man RE is a classic.........I think RE was the first game I played so long ago that was so scary fun! That and Silent Hill. Lol play THAT alone in a big house in the dark after watching a holloween marathon!

I'm guessing what they mean is that they will remove any bit of survival horror they managed to leave intact and turn the series into a full blown action game. Nice job Crapcom, lets see how many more franchises you manage to ***** up.

# Storyline — RE1beatsAll 2010-08-09 03:01

The story line of 1 /2 was brill, despite voice overs lol but they were vague and chilling, with an indepth conspiricy involved... 3 got a little cheesey with that bellend in the green outfit being such a dumbass. carlos thats it! and 4/5 soo disgustingly cheesey you had to ignor the trash story line... wtf happened! the disturbing tale of umbrella turned into a bit of a joke. codeVX - didnt you just wana punch steve right in the face! ahh w/e my point is -

GET GEORGE O ROMEO or someone like that to invent the RE/Make story line, not an over paid 12 year old kid with an unpronounceable name!
