The Big Cheese.

It’s official: Resident Evil 6 won’t be suffering any last minute delays whatsoever. The game is right on track for release on October 2nd with Capcom confirming today that it’s gone gold. No PC release date was revealed yet. What was revealed, though, is a new video showcasing the game’s robust free online service, Resident Evil.Net.

The new video shows you everything you need to know about the service, which is set to launch on the same day the game does. I think this is a brilliant way of enhancing the game’s replay value, and I can already see myself being being glued to my phone checking for any updates on the service’s mobile app. Things are going to get competitive!

Oh, and it looks like one of the Mercenaries costumes for Leon, that you’ll be able to unlock by exchanging RE.Net points, will be similar to Salazar’s outfit. Hell. Yeah.

I hope they’re not planning on selling this with an online pass. This whole thing just reaks of DLC. It would really suck since I am most definetly buying this used so Capcom doesn’t get a cent of my money with the way they treat their employees.
Dem working conditions, hurgh…

  The only online pass involved is a copy of RE 6 and an internet connection. If you’ve got those, then you’re good.

  80% of companies treat their employees like crap kid. get real. i hope they do put a pass on it. your just supporting the store where you bought it used and they rip off their customers so whats the difference? your trading one wrong for another

    Kid? Wow, you need to learn respect. And 80% percent of compagnies treat their employees like crap? Indeed and everytime I learn things like that I stop supporting them. the nice thing here is I can still buy the game at a local gameshop where a lot of my friends work. They are all treated very well so your argument assumes I intend to buy at Gamestop which I won’t.
    
    Has for me, the number of articles I found on the net are simply too numerous for me to ignore, here are two:

I’m hoping that there is another way to get costumes other than participating in online events. I’m not one for that kinda thing.

All the people saying they r gonna buy it used so “capcom doesnt get their money” r so full of shit. If u were so concerned you wouldnt buy it at all

  Oh I’m very concerned, just can’t help myself and it’s nice their is an option where I can still play the thing without giving money to the abusers.
  Kind of like pirating. Best of both worlds. You are free to think I am an hypocrite tough.

    Its like saying u wont give money to abortion, but u will buy products that give 10% of their profits to abortion. It makes no sense, if u want the company to change then start a trend of “not buying the product ’til they change their ways”. If u buy the product used u r still supporting company. Take bussiness and psychology ull know what im talking about

      I don’t quite understand that, would you mind explaining. Gameshops, to my knowledge, don’t give any of the profits they make on used games. They just resell something that’s already been sold.
      I mean, isn’t that why game company high hats are in a fit over used game sales and fighting a bloody cold war against gameshops?
