So, I’ve got a serious confession to make. I’m simultaneously excited and terrified at the idea of Resident Evil 6. Capcom officially announced it the other day and showed off a pretty flashy trailer. (It even included in game footage!) The internet is abuzz talking about it today. Reading Twitter this morning was even more of a headache than usual.
There were articles breaking the trailer down frame by frame.
There were articles attacking it for being all “Gears of War.”
At the same time, there were articles defending it for being a glimpse at something awesome.
I don’t know folks. I watched the trailer. I saw what looked like a pretty promising action game. But, it came at a price. I saw zombies. Flesh eating… moaning… groaning… zombies.
I know. I know. It’s a Resident Evil game. I shouldn’t expect anything else, and I really don’t. But, everyone has that thing that scares them that makes no real sense. Zombies are that thing for me. I’ve tried to play Resident Evil games in the past. I always start off strong, but I always chicken out half way through and never finish.
It’s a difficult situation too. Resident Evil 5 looked like an awesome game. I was excited to play it. I even had it in my hand at my local GameStop. But, then I put it back because I didn’t want to face those zombies again.
I can’t be the only one with this issue. Is there anyone else out there with an irrational fear that prevents them from enjoying a popular game?
