I saw an interesting picture of what the "6" is a possible silhouette of.

The Beast of Darkness said:Does it involve a giraffe and a woman? I think we saw the same picture...
Viral Harvest said:YES!
Best interpretation of a Resident Evil logo ever, I'd say haha
The publisher says that the third playable character is a mercenary, and that his sections of the game will be set during a bloody conflict in Eastern Europe, where infected mutants run wild. Meanwhile, Chris's part of the narrative will take place in the fictional Chinese village of Lanshiang, where he is apparently recovering from a "personal trauma."
Capcom also said that Leon's new partner is Helena Harper, a government agent tasked with protecting the President.
A new mutation of zombie, known as J'avo, has also been detailed. Described as "incredibly aggressive," the new monster will be able to regenerate. If it sustains serious damage, it is able to mutate the damaged limb into "a number of varied forms," forcing the player to rethink their approach.
A revised control system has also been confirmed by Capcom. Players will now be able to shoot while moving, as well as take cover, slide to cover, and roll. Melee will also be significantly expanded upon.
It's also been announced that the game takes place in 2013, a full 15 years after the events in the original Resident Evil.
Original story follows:
New Resident Evil 6 information has emerged out of Japan.
According to Japanese magazine Famitsu, the President of the United States seen in the game's debut trailer is not the father of Resident Evil 4 character Ashley Graham, but is instead the President that takes office after Graham.
This fits with information we've previously reported, as our sources tell us that the blonde woman in the trailer many people assume is Ashley Graham is actually Sherry Birkin, daughter of Resident Evil 2's villain, William Birkin.

Griffith said:Yeah right, people have been guessing at that payoff since Code Veronica, but it always turns out to be something stupid (most egregiously a bleached Jill)
Capcom's revealed an exclusive online multiplayer mode for Operation Raccoon City, where players will control Nemesis. The mode will only be availabe for Xbox 360 as launch DLC costing 320 MS points.
Here are a few bits about Resident Evil 6 from this week's famitsu.
- The game is 50% complete.
- While they're aiming to bring back the feeling of horror with the game, this isn't an attempt to return the series back to it's origins.
- They're aiming for the greatest volume in series history.
- The game's third main character is meant to be someone young people can relate to.
- The President shown in the trailer - the one who attacks Leon - is the president who followed Ashley's dad.
- The zombies in the game did not become zombies due to the T-Virus.
- They're aiming to make it a Resident Evil that is enjoyable to control, with a revamped control scheme. You'll be able to move slowly left and right while holding your gun, and perform such moves as 180 degree turn, quick front/back/side evade, covering and so forth.
Capcom has released more info through their unity blog. They confirm that the game takes place in 2013 and that Chris' scenario takes place in Lanshiang, a fictional Chinese coastal town.
More info about the characters and BOW's
Leon S. Kennedy After the Raccoon City Incident, Leon was recruited into government service by one Adam Benford, who would go on to become the current in-game President of the United States. Helena Harper is one of the President’s personal bodyguards and admits to Leon she is responsible for the incident in Resident Evil 6. Ingrid Hunnigan is a field operations support specialist who has worked with Leon before.
Chris Redfield, leader of the BSAA, faced personal trauma six months before the events in Resident Evil 6. He meets his team in China to investigate a bioterrorist attack. Chris, Leon, and a mysterious third protagonist are playable characters. The man with the shaven head is a mercenary engaged in a conflict in Eastern Europe where B.O.W.s are being used. Someone tells him he’s the man to save the world and instead of heroically stepping up to the plate he thinks about how much the job will pad his wallet.
Zombies return in Resident Evil 6 and this time they’re smart enough to use weapons. Instead of staggering towards players they will run and jump at you. J’avo are a new B.O.W. found in Eastern Europe six months before the events in Resident Evil 6. These creatures still understand human speech and will work together with other J’avos as a group. J’avo can regenerate and if heavily damaged mutate body parts into different forms.
Resident Evil 6 will have a new control scheme that lets players shoot while moving and take cover. You will be able to evade attacks by rolling or sliding in any direction and strike back with melee attacks.
The game's third main character is meant to be someone young people can relate to.
Yeah that didn't stick with me well either.Griffith said:I don't know, sounds like more of the same with some pretty unappealing decisions and half-measures. Like the zombies that aren't any more less zombies than the previous non-zombie zombies, or overall the non-return to form return to form they're sort of selling, but not really. Worst of all though...
Come on, he'll be so relatable!
Yeah, maybe they used all their good ideas on Revelations.

Aazealh said:That raises a good question: is it the same team working on RE6 than did RE: Rev? I would imagine not if the game is already 50% complete... Regrettable.
Death May Die said:I guess to have done that, they had to kill off Wesker. The person they been building for over half the damn series. Now we get his test tube side project.
Death May Die said:Is it me or do the graphics look like a down grade from previous installments? Whats up with that? Leon looks insanely different from RE4 to me.
Death May Die said:I never figured Ada for a villain, more so a double agent for a greater cause.
Nomad said:I've forgotten Sherry existed. So, if my memory doesn't fail me... Wasn't she immune to the G Virus?
Aazealh said:Captivate trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8XYIVFptU
Aazealh said:So... The C-Virus (like CHINA, you know)
Griffith said:I think we should start taking bets on who Capcom has up for the next Resident Evil; Koreans, Chinese...?

Walter said:Leon vs Chris stuff is just cheesy enough to keep me interested!
Aazealh said:Wesker was a cancer for the series. His death is the best thing that could have happened to it. Wesker Jr. is just a funny reminder that Capcom's plots will always be ridiculous.
Aazealh said:Oh don't worry, I'm sure she won't really be completely evil. You know, same old story.
Griffith said:Seriously though, I think Leon had to tone down the emo and man up if he's going to believably go toe to toe with Creatine Redfield.
Griffith said:It's the final brodown! Will Leon win it for the dudes, and hoes (Ada), or will Chris score a decisive knockout for bros, and muscles, everywhere.
Griffith said:I actually like this character now, one hand washes the other in a sense (his Weskerness makes up for his newness and vice versa), and he even has a little Jesse Pinkman in him, crossed with Jeremy Renner. Anyway, he has the potential to be intriguing and edgy in ways Wesker hasn't been in a decade. Viva la Wesker Jr!
Griffith said:In other words, it'll be as nonsensical as ever. Still, what if Leon ultimately has to... *gasp* kill Ada?
Ooooh, the tragedy of these star-crossed lovers is Shakespearean!
Aazealh said:Indeed. Chris is basically the übermensch at this point. My dream for RE6 is to have him kill a tyrant bare-handed.
Aazealh said:Just wait till Jill jumps out of a vat and starts bitchslapping Ada around!
Aazealh said:Don't forget that he bangs Sherry too. Their offspring would be the Kwisatz Haderach or something.
Aazealh said:The absolute best would be for her to be a true villainess because of some misguided goals/ideals, but to have her ultimately sacrifice herself to save Leon, finding redemption as she lay dying in his arms.
Griffith said:I didn't know that actually, but I kind of like its almost incestuous grossness.
