The New Resident Evil 6 Demo Made Us Do a Double-Take

Posted: 14 Jul 2012 02:04 PM PDT

When I saw Resident Evil 6 at Capcom's annual Captivate event a few months back, I thought that this might actually be the game that finally gets me into the series -- something even the universally beloved Resident Evil 4 couldn't manage. But then I played the game's E3 demo and all but hated it. And I wasn't the only one; even 1UP's resident Resident Evil superfan Jose Otero echoed my own concerns -- and those in turn found parallels with others' commentary all around the web.

Clearly stung by the blowback, Capcom decided to do right by bringing a completely new version of the game to San Diego Comic-Con. This turned out to be a pretty good move, since this new build plays far better than the last.

Metal Gear Rising Hints at Better Things to Come

Despite developer Platinum's reputation for world-beating creativity, Revengeance runs the risk of feeling just a touch mundane despite its insane swordplay mechanics.
