About
Who am I? I'm Tobbii Karlsson. I grew up with videogames, whether it was text-based James Bond adventures made for DOS or kicking ass on Bomberman's multiplayer I was there and had a good time. I consider myself an anti-fanboy as I don't take the side of any console manufacturer, but rather play on whatever I can get my hands on, does that mean I don't have systems I prefer? Of course not, but I don't like a system just because it's a certain logo slapped on it.

I'm also an amateur film-maker trying to get some projects going, I have a blog where I do a bunch of stupid things (Let's Plays, Humour Reviews, Vlogs and whatever) and a secondary blog where I'm more serious and do things about gaming (Podcasts, Actual Reviews, Serious Articles and such). I'm mostly known at Destructoid for my sucki-- I mean, my tributes to various writers. Whether it's the Destructoid Gingerbread Show, the Talking to Women about Videogames cover or me having sex with a cookie shaped like Jim Sterling on his birthday. Yeah, I did that.

New Captivate 2012 Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4VJljsHgSo

Resident Evil 6 is probably the worst piece of shit Capcom has pulled on the fans of Resident Evil by the looks of this. It's obvious the "It's Raccoon City all over again" thing was only a fake-out for the beginning of the game and that it will not represent what we were seemingly promised.

Am I glad that Sherry is back? Yeah, if this wasn't the third time she was supposed to come back, I'd be glad. But I can't say I care any more.

Albert Wesker had a son? Really? Why even bring up the Wesker Children in LiN if you're going to trade it off for this!? The Wesker Children was the concept of several children kidnapped and experimented upon, born from different mothers but for a equal goal. Albert Wesker was the 13th child, Alex Wesker was the 12th. The common theory was that this mercenary was Alex Wesker. But I guess not.

Because now Wesker apparently had a kid somewhere before the Raccoon City incident. It must have been that early seeing as how he's far older than 15 years. And it can't be Alex Wesker since ALEX WESKER WAS FUCKING BORN BEFORE ALBERT WESKER.

I normally don't write blogposts when I'm angry, because I tend to not make very well made points and come off as rambling, but Resident Evil is just too close to my heart for me to let this sink in and have me calm down. Normally I'd watch the trailer at least twice to revisit it knowing what's coming, but I can't. This has hurt me as bad as the Paul W.S. Anderson films did, if not possibly worse since this is canon.

I was hopeful after Revelations, maybe Capcom did understand what I wanted for the franchise, but I guess not. I'm happy for anyone who thinks the game looks fine, but I can not bring myself to agreeing. This is the first time I've ever wished for the prototype of Resident Evil 4 to be true for the sole reason of ending the franchise before it went this way.

I've cancelled my pre-order of Resident Evil 6.
I will not be buying Resident Evil 6.
I will not continue my 16th Anniversary playthrough of the series.

My copy of Dragon's Dogma still comes with a free demo so I might try the game just to give it a last chance, but I'm not even sure I will do that any more. I've played my way through too many shitty Resident Evil games to do this again. Hell, even if the demo is awesome I want to try it more before I'm sure, and with the new release date I won't be able to preview it at GAMEX before release so I guess that's out of the picture.

Sorry, I had to get this out.

Nothing is worse than Resident Evil 5.
Wait, you're upset because some plot points in a RE game don't make sense?
@Steven Hansen
Watch this trailer and read Capcoms comments on the game. This is far worse.

@Wrenchfarm
With Resident Evil 4, 5 and the Chronicles games Capcom has went out of their way to pull the storyline together. The plot was fine as it was and actually made a whole lot of sense going by the in-game science of the series.

So yes, I'm 'upset' because of plot points not making sense, along with the game simply looking terrible.
Story wise, RE6 may have inconsistencies galore, but I don't care as long as the gameplay is fun - I suppose we'll find out come July with the demo. I must admit I have embraced the campiness of Wesker Jr., so I'm not as pissed off as you, but it's easily understandable as a fan.

Also, I will defend Resident Evil 5 to the death. Solo AI issues aside, the game was incredibly fun with a real life friend, and it provided the best Mercenaries variant to date (and outside of the 3DS game, still the only one with online play).

The game gets hated on way too often due to the fact that it shifted a focus more towards action and off of horror. What I don't get is that RE4 did the same thing, but was celebrated for it. While RE4 had a stronger setting/story, RE5 had more content, coop, and ultimately had longer legs.
@Chris Carter
You know how I feel towards RE5, I like it, it's fun. However, I do think you're wrong in saying RE4 did the same thing, RE4 kept a atmosphere of horror, the spanish woods is one of the scariest environments I know.

And I can not ever embrace something like Wesker Jr. It means that Wesker, a brainwashed being programmed into doing one thing, would somehow have gotten someone pregnant in the years before Raccoon City, in other words, during his Umbrella years, it does not work with his brainwashed state. And then why would Wesker Jr. have special blood? WESKER GOT THE FUCKING POWERS AFTER RESIDENT EVIL 1!

Resident Evil 5s mercenaries sucked though, hated the stages in it. Much preferred RE4s.
i must say that feel that rRE has become less survival horror and more like a beat'em up. i really want that atmosphere to return but if it plays well i'm getting it.
"WESKER GOT THE FUCKING POWERS AFTER RESIDENT EVIL 1!"

Haha agreed. Although one can always retcon in the fact that Wesker had special blood that allowed for the facilitation of the virus. It may even be a sentence spoken in passing by Wesker Jr. in RE6 - predicting it now!
@Chris Carter
If I end up playing it I might break my controller if that would happen. I remember that I almost stopped playing RE5 when they pulled the "Jill Died Sometime Before This Game LOL" card in the opening.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is worse than RE: Outbreak.

I don't care much for RE6, anyway. Code Veronica taught me that character mash-ups turn out to be bitterly disappointing.
@Stevil
Outbreak File #2 was worse. >.<
Eh, they're all just fun games to me.
I'm not surprised. RE5 shat all over the cannon by continuing the Wesker recton festival. The story was already too irrelevant to its original direction by the time RE4 came around. The gamecube game everyone loves should have been a different series. This game needed a reboot a generation ago.
It's not healthy to react to game trailers this way.
I'm not gonna buy RE6 because I'm sick and tired of Capcom's horseshit, they are one of the worst companies on the planet right now, fuck em.

And yea, I'm kind of upset about the possible raccoon city vibe being a fake-out, but seriously to hell with them.
BOLD PLOT TWIST PREDICTION

Wesker Jr is in fact Wesker just reincarnated. I'm going with that idea because Wesker has already "died" like two or three times in the series already, and its shitty and cliche enough for Resident Evil to pull it off since Resident Evil has always had silly B-movie plots.

That and its the stupidest possibility, and Capcom loves making dumb decisions.
criticizing a game that isn't even out yet...class.
@mikewa
Criticizing what Capcom has shown us and stating how it 'looks' to me. Nothing wrong with that...ass.

@SephirothX
He has died two times counting the last time. If they pull that I'll be even more pissed off, but they're not going to, the preview confirmed he as lived his life and has a backstory since before the events of Weskers death.
Having passion for the medium on a website for said medium isn't something to be ashamed about :D
I dunno, I have a feeling that "Wesker Jr." is not a normal born person. He could just have Wesker's DNA in him and they call him Wesker Jr. because he is the closest thing to him alive (hopefully) now. I love RE4 and RE5 so I am going to pick this one up without hesitation.
Sir Tobbii,

As someone who has from time to time read up your write ups of the Resident Evil series, I can feel your pain with Capcom's decision to make this new character Wesker Jr. It's boring, it's overdone and as you said, it's against canon.

After watching this trailer, I'm not really interested in the game either. Not because of the Wesker Jr. revelation, but because there wasn't a single piece of gameplay footage to be found.
Most of my RE "knowledge" comes from the movies. Alice is sooooo hot :)
Man, I can believe! There are a guy who thinks like me! I was play RE6'demo tomorrow and agree completly with you, Tobbii. I will not to buy...surely.
About the movies, try watch my videos:
