9. Character Continuation
Something strange and wonderful happens when youve been following a franchise like Resident Evil for as long as I and countless others have. The memories youve made stick with you, they intermingle with your memories of reality, and suddenly, they feel like they really happened and like you, in some strange way were part of them. And characters you met along the way can sometimes feel real; like they actually exist somewhere within your recall. For me, playing the Resident Evil 6 demo was like catching up with old friends, seeing where theyd gotten themselves to over the years I hadnt been with them. Sure, I wasnt overly bowled over by what they actually did while I was playing, but, as always, more will be revealed when the full game is released next month. And Ill be there, eager to experience the full arcs of these characters that I know and love. And if youre a fan of the series, of these tried and tested characters, why wouldnt you give them the benefit of the doubt?
