Put on your Speculation Spectacles, folks! Resident Evil 6 has popped up in a couple of different places in the past day or so, and the latest appearance seems to point to a China setting for Capcom's upcoming sequel.
Chinese voice actress Wendy Mok last played an islander in Dead Island, but her latest gig listed is from Resident Evil 6; she played a Chinese villager/zombie. Wait, zombies talk?
It's far from confirmation, but why else would they cast a Chinese villager? Chinatown in San Francisco? Nah.
Yesterday voice actor Joe Cappelletti had Resident Evil 6 listed in his resume. It's gone now, of course.

Resident Evil 4 had a good exotic location because it didn't exploit it. Resident Evil 5 tried to be soo exotic it never let you roam through a single, consistent place
Better yet, will there be B.O.W.s that look like big fuzzy Chinese dragons?
Regardless, this is Resident Evil so it will be just cheesier than a DiGiorno's.
Oh wait, no one complained about re4 and all the spanish zombies. Its only black people that aren't allowed to be villians
But somehow thata not racist
RACIST!
Who is the Chinese equivalent of N'Gai Croal? He needs to know about this ASAP!
Now imagine zombie apocalypse there.
We're fucked.
(hope he cloned himself or something)
LOL
Also, this game is racist because the zombies aren't white /truth
Resident Evil 6 is going to star Ada Wong. We are going to find out more about the other organization she was working for - the one against Umbrella - as it spans over her life and fills in the holes of what the hell she has been doing behind the scenes while being behind the scene.
Assassin's Creed, RE6, _____
Wow.
get it? math?
I would love to see suburbia zombified again without retconning Umbrella operatives with psychic powers into the mix.
Exactly my point.
Wouldn't be against China being the setting though, if Capcom has the werewolf nards to do that, but I'd also except eastern Europe or Russia as other places (that goes for New Assassin's creeds too.. A Russian Assassin's creed, being all jumpy jump all over the Kremlin would be awesome.)
