I'm going to give two disclaimers at the beginning of this review. One is that I've only ever played the PS1 Resident Evil game before this game. The other is that I spent little time at all with this version of the game. Taking into account these two facts, I'm not really fit to review these version as a game, but rather as a port, which is what this review entails. Resident Evil 6 originally came out in 2012, and coming from the divisive Resident Evil 5 it was under heavy scrutiny, and was trashed as a result. The core gameplay from that version is mostly unchanged here except for one aspect I'll cover soon, so if you hated it back then this version won't change your opinion. What it does change, however, is that the game is in 1080p at 60 frames per second. I'll explain what this means for those less technologically engaged. 1080p refers to resolution or amount of pixels on the screen, which is 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels, compared to the original 1280 pixels x 720 pixels is ran at, which is about 2.25 times more detail, and looks much cleaner. 60 frames per second refers to the amount of times the game takes in input per second and refreshes the screen, which is twice as much as the originals 30 frames per second. This actually has a huge effect on the responsiveness of the game, the only real change in gameplay. These two factors make the game look pretty darn great compared to the originals release, and while doesn't look better than native PS4 games, is pretty darn good looking. In addition, this version includes all the DLC, which includes single player and multiplayer, as well as the old mercenaries mode, the original campaign, and local and online co-op, although you can only play with other PS4 owners, so your friends would need to upgrade two. In conclusion, this port looks good, feels good, and is a great value compared to the old release, and would recommend it wholeheartedly to fans of Resident Evil 6, and would encourage fans of 3rd person shooters to give this definitive and cheap edition a try.

Fun Co-Op Game Remastered for an Unbeatable Price

Many long time fans of the Resident Evil game series were disappointed with the original release of this game for PS3 and Xbox 360, but don't let this sway you from giving it a play. Resident Evil 6 is fantastically remastered in its clarity and impressive 60 frames per second. The game plays very well for originally coming out in 2012. It tackles 4 different and fittingly long story lines. Each have unique gameplay experiences. Individual campaign stories interweave with one another, being led by new and veteran characters from the series. The campaign is fun and even (YES) creepy and frightening at times (especially Leon's story). Grab a friend and play co-op from beginning to end, it's even more fun! I've had a great time playing this game. For being a well-remastered edition costing only $15 - $20, you can't go wrong!

Fun local co-op

Resident Evil 6 offers a fun local/multiplayer co-op experience. There is four campaigns which can all be played with a friend. The story is straight forward and will not leave you in awe honestly.
Pros: Coop/multiplayer. Very few game supports local coop which is why I got this game. The price, affordable/cheap. Includes all the DLC. Fun MP/local gamemodes. Graphics is good and the voice acting brings the classic voices from character we like playing (Leon from RE4, Ada Wong, Chris Redfield etc).
Cons: Resolution when playing local coop has black boarders and limits your view. Makes it very difficult playing from a distance. The campaign story is quite weak, especially when compared to the story/plot twist/moments from the old Resident Evil games. You won't find that true RE story experience we all love.

there are many people who do not like this game and i can understand why. i was one of those people. i been playing RE games since the original RE game released back in 1995. i been a long time fan ever since. i only finished RE5 and RE 6 just recently and it's 2019. when RE6 released, i passed on it, mainly b/c of the bad reviews it got. now that it goes for only $20, i figured it won't hurt me to give the game a chance. for all you original RE fans out there, you will be somewhat disappointed b/c this game IS NOT a survival horror game, it's an action game. if you go into this game knowing that it's an action RE game and not expect it to be a survival horror game, you will enjoy this game. if you are a fan of RE, i recommend you play this game! it's not perfect, but it does a good job adding to the lore of RE. imo, it's not as good as RE4 or Revelations 2. i still HATE the partner system. i don't know why capcom insist on having a partner follow you around every sec in this game. it is not as bad as RE5, but still annoying. imo, i rather play as one character, ALONE, w/NO backup. this would make the game more scary b/c you are alone and isolated. having another character backing me up robs me of this sensation. if you look at the original RE games, you are isolated and alone, no one there to help you. it's just you and the monsters, which makes the experience very scary. besides the stupid partnering system, this game is very good. great boss fights, great action, great story. WARNING: you will be frustrated playing this game b/c some parts of the game is tough, but in a good way. i love how the chapters intertwine w/each other. you'll get to see the story from different perspective depending on what chapters you choose. the controls are good as well. going forward, i hope capcom takes this franchise back to it's roots. DO NOT pull a RE7 again, but that is another review i need to do :)

Quick time events can get annoying

I can not believe people say this game is not good because it has too much action. I love the action and the fact that it has four campaigns is awesome. Note that this is not a remastered version. This is simply a ps3 to ps4 port but it has all the DLC and a new mode to play. I love it and have had fun playing with a friend online. The game looks great, not ps4 great but good enough. I highly recommend this to all my ps4 friends. If your looking for a fun co-op game with action through out, here it is.

I am a huge Resident Evil fan. However this one did not entice me very much. This is not survival horror - nor was it meant to be like the first two or three in the series. If you want more action-this is a decent game for $20. It's not a horrible game, but not the Resident Evil I have enjoyed in the past. If you are a collector, pick it up for the price.

Resident Evil 6 PS4

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Resident Evil 6 for the PS4 is basically the same game that released for the PS3 but with better graphics, so if you're expecting something new or different you'll be disappointed.
The graphics are improved, it has a good story and can be fun to play, but the cover system, inventory, and upgrade system can be a chore to use. Also, the game has a strong action focus which will turn off many fans of the older Resident Evil games. If you like action games you should consider picking this up, but if you already have it for an older console there may be little to entice you to buying this.

Great job on this game! Big fan of playing in the dark and immersing myself in the game. It's particularly entertaining when my son / daughter are watching and they get surprised, that seems to make all of us happy.

I really enjoy this game despite its shortcomings. The game seems very unfocused because of the 3 campaigns (4 if you count Ada's). It's almost like the developers tried to please all fans by making each campaign focus on aspects from past games in the series that were popular such as RE3: Nemisis, RE2, and RE5. Leon's campaign focuses on Horror, Chris's focuses on action, and Jake's focuses on survival. While it's awesome that you get to play as 6 characters (8 with Ada's campaign) it makes the game as a whole very inconsistent. It's still a blast to play though. It's much more enjoyable with a friend. I really like the new move sets that each character can perform. You can counter attack, slide, dodge roll, take cover (though it's not very useful except for in Chris' and Jake's campaigns, and the aiming is kinda wonky), shoot while moving, and sneak attack. The weapons aren't upgradable anymore, but you can purchase "Skills" that can increase attacks, defense, ammo drop rates, etc. The bosses are over the top and, for the most part, fun to fight. One boss in Chris' campaign in particular was very awesome. The setting was claustrophobic and it played out like a game of cat and mouse. Overall, I feel this is a great game in the Resident Evil series and worth buying on current gen consoles if you didn't buy it the first time around. Otherwise, I'd say skip if you already own a PS3/Xbox360 version because even though the textures are slightly better, runs at native 1080p and the frame rate is at 60fps, it's still the same game.

I have played Resident Evil on previous consoles, but I am new to PS4, and wanted to jump right in. RE6 is beautiful graphically and easy to jump into. The story is fast and furious, and very entertaining. I highly recommend this chapter of this ongoing series.

It's definitely a notch above Resident Evil 5. It brings more scares, better visuals and very intense storylines to the mix. At the end of it all, it will feel like you've been a part of an intricate action-horror that satisfies your adrenaline needs by the end.

Resident Evil 6 has been ported to the next gen systems but it goes with saying that updates were applied, for the better. 1080P Resolution and 60 Frames per second make this title one of the franchises most action-packed games and slick to boot. The story remains the same, but what you get for a budget priced game is a much smoother playing and graphically superior version than its last gen counterpart. A must for any Resident Evil fan!

RE 6 - Four Stories - 1 Good Action Game

Resident Evil 6 brought something new to the story - a chance to play 4 complete stories that merge into one overall larger story. The play styles between the original 3 campaigns vary differently. The 4th campaign is more puzzle based.
