Resident Evil 6: 10 Reasons It’s The Death of the Franchise

5. The Game Churn

Despite boasting a much longer campaign than Resident Evil 5, I€™m still sceptical that Resi 6 will yield that much longer a gameplay experience after you put the campaigns to bed. The Resident Evil franchise has never been one to properly remedy the Game Churn (that important period after a game€™s campaign is over where a player decides whether they will venture into online modes, or trade the game in for something else) and I€™m not convinced that 6 will see much change in that. Ok so there are online modes (that sort of feel tacked on if I€™m honest), and admittedly you can play through the entire franchise with a co-op partner, but with so much competition out there for the series €“ any recent Rockstar game or any of the current gen Call of Duty€™s or Battlefield€™s for example €“ is there really that much hope that you€™ll still be playing Resi 6 after you€™ve clocked the main story? These days, half the focus in a video game is usually dedicated to online multiplayer, and with a title as story oriented as Resident Evil, I just can€™t see Capcom managing to ever cut the mustard.
