Resident Evil 6/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced:
 * Leon and Chris both playable, with the return of zombies after the mutants of the last two games. In fact, Leon's story features him fighting zombies in America while Chris battles creatures similar to the Majini/Plagas in China.
 * Oh, and the blonde girl with Jake Muller? It's Sherry Birkin!
 * You know that new Badass merc guy with the shaved hair (Jake Muller) seen in the trailer? He's Albert Wesker's son
 * Leon and Chris finally meeting each other, but also fighting one another too. What craziness is this?!
 * Broken Base:
 * Same issue as since Resident Evil 4. A large number of fans are already complaining about the apparently increased action focus and the game retaining the over the shoulder camera of 4 and 5, claiming this is "not survival horror." Either you think it's a good thing to have done away with wonky camera angles and awkward controls at the cost of making the games feel less claustrophobic and scary, or you welcome these things for improving the overall experience and think it's a price worth paying. That being said, steps do appear to have been taken to bring back some of the atmosphere and horror that were lacking in RE4 and RE5 in particular, so Capcom appears to have at least tried to keep both groups happy.
 * It does not help that Capcom admits that they are trying to reach a broader audience. And by broader I mean the Call of Duty audience. This has rubbed a lot of longtime RE fans the wrong way.
 * Capcom announced that "Mercenaries Mode" will have retailer-exclusive preorder DLC. Not only will this split the player base, but people are already seeing it as a repeat of the Street Fighter X Tekken on-disc DLC debacle.
 * Memetic Mutation: Many a commentator notes how the "6" in the title looks like a purple giraffe.
 * Cruder commentators have noted it looks like . And now, you see it too!
 * Narm: "You jarheads look alike" says the bald-shaven man to the two armed soldiers with full heads of hair.
