given, undoubtedly to be distributed as we inch closer to the release date.

title a lot because it’s a fantastic product that the team has been working for

fabulous.”

Like an incoming wave
of zombies, Capcom is handing out Resident
Evil 6 details en masse today via this week’s Famitsu. Are you prepared for
the incoming horde of information?

- Aiming to be the best entry to the series.

- Also will have an unrevealed partner character.
- The President in the trailer is not Ashley’s dad, but rather his predecessor.
- Zombies are not creations of the T-Virus
- Can now wield weapons, run and jump.
- Introduction of new “J’avo” enemies.
- Exhibits certain human qualities like the ability to understand speech, work as a group and use weapons.
- J’avos can regenerate damage via mutations into varied forms to promote unpredictability and player adaptability.

ArenaNet publicly
flirted with the idea of Guild Wars 2
on consoles before, but never hinted at any serious consideration of it. According
to Guild Wars Insider, Guild Wars 2
coming on consoles has abruptly become an actual possibility via details
gathered from a conference call.
“When it [console]
comes to Guild Wars 2 as we have announced already, we are in the preparation
stage. For other titles we are looking at various options as we speak. So once
again, nothing has been finalized yet for me to make specific comments now.”
After this made the
rounds on the internet, ArenaNet has stepped in to clarify. “I think ‘stay
calm, don’t panic’ will become my new mantra,” said ArenaNet’s Martin Kerstein.
“We stated multiple times in public that we have a small team working on a
console version, but we are fully dedicated to make the most kickass game for
PC.”
