Sounds like they (and the Tomb Raider developers) could very well drop the ball this time... actually they dropped the ball last time, but not from the grand canyon like this.
Uhh... something about "the ability to run" DLC being on the disc. "Moving and shooting" DLC is a preorder bonus.

I want to see the full 10 minutes of terror.
Maybe in the right environment and under the effects of the right substances and illusions, the slow and awkward non-gameplay builds tension and atmosphere? And it will just serve to make the well-designed action gameplay segments even more awesome by comparison?

Wow, I found myself switching to other tabs up in my browser, only amused at hearing Jonathan and Tony speak. That gameplay was pretty snooze-fest. If there was suppose to be any suspense, it sure did not convey it.
Sounds like a poor section of the game to demo, but the fact that there is 10m of nothing much has Me ropeful. Was it suspenseful?
I'm going to assume that put in the context of the game this is going to build tension, still though, terrible thing to demo.
@Jak
Not necessarily, but where is the horror in what was shown? For a demo, you generally what to show off the really suspenseful parts of your game and not just the go from point A to point B and we will tell you some story stuff that won't matter til you actually play the game.
I mean look back at Resident Evil games there was always highly suspenseful moments, even with its slower paced nature.
The camera angles greatly played into this suspense because you had to watch as the zombies slowly shambled onto the screen with their god awful moans. Nothing in this demo invoked that same, "Oh boy, that looks outright suspenseful".

I never realized how handsome Tony was until this video. Is it like a requirement that you have to be lethally sexy to be on the Dtoid staff?
Bwahahaha, there's a don't get lost button, yea good feature, lord knows its hard to find your way in those straight corridors.
I am very afraid of RE6. It's the first time this die hard fan of the series is seriously questioning if it's finally completely jumped the shark.
Oh well.
Oh well.
The run button doesn't always work for suspense. And being led around a boring cooridor is sure to create tension. Coupled with the lack of zombies (they could be anywhere!) and Capcom has clearly mastered the survival horror genre.
"Oh, fans of the older games will love Leon's scenario!"
From what I've seen, no. No I fucking wont.
And I still hate that FPS style "HEY! OBJECTIVES OVER HERE!" symbol.

But Holmes, by wasting your time, they make you more aware of its passage along with the inexorable creep towards that moment where all of your time runs out forever. Those boring moments are the ones in which one is most likely contemplate death because there is nothing else with which to occupy one's mind.
It's rather brilliant, isn't it?

Resident Evil 6 Demo successfully emulates on thing from Hollywood.
"Is it safe?""Yes,it's safe. It's very safe. It's so safe you wouldn't believe it!"
Not only is there no danger present, it looks about as fun as having one's teeth pulled.

No hope left.
Never has a marketing slogan been so apt for a franchise. I think I'll go on pretending the series ended after RE4.

"... and she finished it off for you, just to maximise how little you're involved with this game."
Sums up everything I feared RE6 would be. So we've got Chris in a run-and-gun squad shooter against soldiers on rooftops, we've got the new guy and Sherry riding around on motorcycles shooting exploding barrels and Leon just gets to walk from quicktime event to quicktime event.
I've been playing the series since the first game and the only games in the series I've missed so far have been the Wii-exclusive ones. Hell, I still have my copy of Survivor 2; most people forgot that game existed two weeks after its release. I've got all the RE figures, I even quite enjoy the films. It would be fair to say I am unhealthily invested in Resident Evil. But I can safely say that I will not be buying RE6 and I shall not be playing it unless free copies rain down from the sky. We've seen each of the three sections of it now and no part of it, either in concept or apparent execution, sparks my interest. Capcom has actually managed to come up with a way to completely turn me off, which is quite, quite amazing.

That looked like a very poor choice in demo material. If your going to do a demo, you do it with action packed content. No one is going to try a demo for a game that features 10 minutes of walking and then at the end see a single enemy that you dont even get the satisfaction of killing. Fail Capcom, fail.
I thought it looked great, in terms of atmosphere and pacing.
Some of you guys are being too anal.... GRRRAAAAHHH HUUURRR DUUURRR WEN DOO I GIT 2 KIILL STUUUFFFF!!!!!!

Damn. I had my hopes highest for the Leon segment, not it's looking like Jake is the one. I'm no longer sure on this being an instant buy...
Holmes, in all fairness, you ran past/completely ignored a jump scare or two.
Although I do agree it's a horrible thing to demo. It does give me hope that Leon's sections will be overall not too action-y, but if this is what I'll be demo'ing with my copy of Dragon's Dogma, I'm not totally looking forward to it.

Its funny how the developers of RE thought that theyr game was good because it was slow .Its the oposite . The zombies were coming at you and you had to be fast to survive . Here its just slow pace bore .
Leon's scenario interests me the least, but i'm still very excited for 6.
thanks for this summary of the demo. it's kinda hard to find fair and unbiased articles on RE6, since most people on the internet want to fling poop at the series with it's new changes, but i can tell you're not a hater.

@ ithink therefore iamAWESOME- Great name! Trust me though, it's not that I have the need to kill stuff. In fact, I most often get bagged on for liking games where I DON'T kill stuff.
I just want something to happen in a videogame that I am playing. This demo did not provide that service.
@ Jakkser- No, slow paced survival-horror is still awesome. That's why I loved the RE:Revelations demo from last year so much.

Long were the days when I gave a fuck about what people say about games. Say all you want but Leon's campaign is suppose to have suspense and balance out the other two campaign's action.
C'mon Jon!
Get serious!
Japan plots are more interesting than western plots because they have charm. It says right on your profile that you like Resident Evil! You're not some kind of cutscene-skipper are you?!

Most eastern plots have gone from being charming to being convoluted and nonsensical for a while now. Hence ff13 and the like.
@ v8fusion- What is the point in announcing to us that you don't care about anyone's opinion but your own. It's like walking into a crowded room and screaming "I AM EXCITED TO NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH ANY OF YOU!" Doesn't seem like a very productive attitude.
And yes, Leon's campaign is supposed to provide suspense. This demo did not provide suspense. It provided boredom and a sense of disconnection to the game's events. That's the opposite of suspense.
@ Darkbeat- I love the plots and storytelling techniques of the classic Resident Evil games. Starting with RE5, they've gone in a bad direction. RE6 seems to be even worse. Apoligizing to the president after you've just killed him is past the "charm" line and into the "why am I even watching this?" line of stupidity.

I was afraid RE6 would be just over-the-top non-stop action. This is the other extreme. The game needs to have quiet, eerie moments that hint at impending danger but this was anything but. Even some simple puzzles like the ones from RE4 would have been a nice distraction. What a shame.
Don't video game makers know?
You can't have a demo at E3 with actual suspense and atmosphere (unless the atmosphere is an EXPLOSION) people want huge set pieces. Also, apparently female nudity is a good thing (Far Cry 3).
That's ALL you need to get a good rating from these....people.

Ive never seen Jonathan Holmes openly rip on a game before and I am gladdened to finally see it--maybe i dont go on this site enough...
@Jon, I didn't mean to be rude but honestly, everyone's bashing RE6 like no other. The demo has no suspense? Well it seems apparent that what they're trying to do is weave the story with gameplay. You shouldn't judge it by a demo. I mean, isn't that the purpose of a demo? To introduce the concept, characters, and such? Not provide you with the full product. It just gets me to see that every other article on RE6 has some sort of negative agenda to it. My opinion is people should be wary that the franchise is evolving and must compete in these high standards for games nowadays.
These are probably the two worst people possible to take opinions from on games that don't have 2D sprites or rainbows in them. There are clearly too many buttons on that controller for ol' Holmes.
And God forbid there be any OTE's in the game... stick waggling was never performed in any games until they got all "Hollywood" on us... oh wait, like a million arcade games from the 90's used this method of shaking things off of your character... but somehow that's ok I suppose.

I was waiting for Jonathan to blame the ability to move and aim for all the very obvious and completely unrelated problems with this game after that little fanboy rant he had about it a few weeks back.
Then he didn't. Good job. Keep it up.

I've been playing Resident Evil games since I could pick up a controller. Probably wasn't very good, I mean, back then those pixelated graphics managed to scare me enough to actually stop playing. Res, along side Tombraider, will forever be my favourite games in history.
Here's what I don't get, for both of them. They are recently the target for anyone and everyone's bad opinion- Rarely anything good is ever heard. That's because the people reviewing these games, Resident Evil especially, have opinions that completely glorify the game going in a different direction. For you to say this game has no mystery in a way that sounds like you're complaining, and then for you to say you love the cod-based style of Chris's campaign, is completely contradictory! There is nothing mysterious about that, yet it's people like you who keep this game going the way it's going!
I don't watch many reviews on games, but out of the few I have watched, I have never heard a grown man complain so much! People need to respect that if they made the game so great before, then you need to have a little more faith and trust in the series. Zombies have finally made a reappearance in Resident Evil after a few dormant years, the last thing this franchise needs to get back to it's original glory is idiot opinions saying the army style gun-on-gun combat is as good as you make it out to be.
