There is one new, exclusive mode for PC called Mercenaries: No Mercy, but it is really only an extension of the regular Mercenaries mode with added enemies. To compensate, Resident Evil 6 on PC is priced lower (starting out at $39.99), but let’s be honest, finding the console version at a discount isn’t difficult. Instead, it is available for purchase on day one meaning Onslaught and Siege mode are still behind a paywall. Even though it arrives six months after the other versions, the additional content available on consoles is not included. Everything else though looks fantastic, including a superb frame rate and lighting effects that vibrantly pop off the screen.Īnyone looking for a pack of new features, or added DLC, will come away disappointed. Even with a powerful machine running the action, the claustrophobic environments and abysmal level design of some of the areas aren’t improved, though. Water effects are amazing, and the new texture work is, at times, stunning. Resident Evil 6 continues that trend by really bringing out just how good segments of this title look. Capcom has an excellent track record recently with their PC ports. The visuals have also been greatly improved. This makes Chris’ section significantly better, as slamming into cover no longer causes the view to become problematic. Options include the ability to pull it back from the action for a better view of the surroundings. The other major addition is the fix for the camera system. This allows players to go back to previous sections to earn higher scores or collect emblems (the game’s collectible). These include being able to select acts, as well as chapters within them, as they are completed. One of the first things to note about this version is that it has all the patches gamers may have missed since the original release. If you want a full rundown of the original game, you can read our full review of the console release here. This review will be covering the differences in the PC version. This release contains all the patches trickled down to the console versions over that time, as well as boasting polished visuals, but this is still the same Resident Evil 6 that hit 360 and PS3 back in October. Now, roughly six months later, the experience has been made available to a new audience with the PC version. The series has been on a slow path away from the traditional horror mechanic for three titles now, and the latest entry took it even further with more action, more button-pressing mini-games and bigger action sequences. It seems like only yesterday that Resident Evil 6 finally arrived on consoles. Evil returns in a much higher resolution.
