By the way, what do you think of the hate that RE6 always receives?
Personally, it's still RE to me. It just has more action. But it's a game that is definitely about biohazards affecting people's lives. In fact, in Japan, RE is called Biohazard. The thing with Chris and co surviving was always going to conclude with a global outbreak on that big of a scale (like what we are going through now for real). But when Capcom finally did a game like that, nobody cared. It's really all down to the people that grew up with RE2 and all that, saying Capcom sold out by making the games become too action-oriented. Although RE4 did arguably ruin the series, it also kind of saved the franchise, following a period where sales began to diminish.
I do not believe RE6 is supposed to be branded as a "survival horror" game. But having at least one epic co-op RE game with tons of action and many returning characters, was bound to happen eventually. It's just strange how the reception for RE6 was so poor.
