Resident Evil: Attracting CoD fans 'the dream,' says Capcom. 'Action route makes sense'

It "makes sense" for Capcom to explore action "more fully" with Resident Evil, the publisher's said.

Capcom UK's head of marketing, Dave Turner, pointed out to MCV ahead of the Resident Evil 6 reveal that action-focused Resident Evil 5 is in fact the series' biggest seller, and even revealed aspirations to attract Call of Duty players.

Asked why the series has taken a more action-focussed stance - specifically with Operation Raccoon City - Turner said:

"We've seen the popularity of Resident Evil increase massively as the series became more action oriented - Resident Evil 5 is the biggest seller in the series. So, it makes sense for us to follow this action area more fully."

He added of Operation Raccoon City: "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."

For those who don't do gaming news past 10pm, Capcom released the first Resident Evil 6 trailer late last night, and initial feedback from readers has certainly been mixed.

Some CVG forum goers called the reveal "actually amazing," while others hit the comments section to express their disappointment that Resi 6 looks to be "a full on action game now".

The trailer looked pretty good, there are some things I'm not happy with though. I'll definitely buy it, I'm just not sure if it will be day 1. I'll probably get it on PS3.

Resident Evil 6: Capcom Confirms The Demo - Here's How And When You Can Play It.

As we all gear up for another horrifying adventure with Capcom’s next inclusion into the long running Resident Evil franchise, the multifaceted developer/publisher revealed today the existence of a Resident Evil 6 Demo. Resident Evil 6 was recently announced only a few weeks ago, as the days approach more content and news is getting revealed. Today, by way of the press release for Dragons Dogma, Capcom confirmed rumors that Resident Evil 6 will in fact receive a playable demo. To get your hands on the demo you only need to purchase Dragons Dogma when it releases on May 22nd. Here’s how the demo distribution will work.

“Retail versions of Dragon’s Dogma will contain a redeemable token that will allow owners to download the Resident Evil 6 demo. Purchasers of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon’s Dogma will be able to redeem this token and download the Resident Evil 6 demo globally on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360 60 days earlier than any other platform starting on July 3. The demo for owners of the PlayStation®3 system version of Dragon’s Dogma will go live on the PlayStation®Store on Sept. 4 in North America and Japan and Sept. 5 in Europe.

Haha, an official thread already, Millenium?

Anyway, if the game doesn´t force co-op in single player mode, then I guess I´ll get it.I hate how RE5 forces Sheva down your throat even if you want to play solo.
