Today on Headline RePLAY: Resident
Evil 6 is announced and Pac-Man in Street
Fighter X Tekken?!
Earlier
this week, Capcom released a viral website that hinted at the next Resident Evil game. Today, Resident Evil 6 was revealed by a
GameStop promotional display. And tonight, Capcom has officially announced the
next entry of the series, which is to be produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, the
producer of Resident Evil 4.
According
to the trailer, the game will involve Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield. Capcom
describes the story as follows: “It has
been ten years since the incident at Raccoon City and the President of the
United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place. Raccoon
City survivor and personal friend of the President, Leon S. Kennedy, arrives to
find the President transformed beyond recognition by a bioterrorist attack. Leon
is forced to make the hardest decision he has ever made.
At the same, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance Member, Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack.”

Resident Evil 6 is coming out on November 20th to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with a PC version slated for release later.

Roster
reveals in upcoming fighting games are pretty clockwork, some characters are
expected and others fall under the “meh” or “WTF” categories. In this trailer
of Street Fighter X Tekken, we get to
see a slew of new characters like Juri, Paul, Law, Vega, Balrog, Xiaoyu and…
Pac-Man?
And Pac-Man
definitely falls under the “WTF” category.
Apparently,
Street Fighter X Tekken is throwing
out the crossover rulebook and featuring characters not even included in the
two franchises. Although, to be fair, a precedent already existed when Capcom
announced that Cole from the inFAMOUS
series is going to be included for the PlayStation 3 and Vita versions.
Pac-Man
is a PlayStation Vita exclusive character in addition to another silhouette
that suspiciously looks like Frank West from Dead Rising in a Mega Man outfit.
But seriously, Pac-Man? Really?
