Now Capcom is doing some soul searching in regards to the future of the series. “Sales of the major new title Resident Evil 6 were initially strong, but subsequently weakened,” lamented Capcom in December at a moment when sales should have been surging during the holiday. A critical failure isn’t always a commercial one, but players were less than pleased when the game released in October. With a Metacritic score of 67, well below the 86 average for Resident Evil 5 and barely in the same league as the 96 average for Resident Evil 4, critics were obviously less than taken with Capcom’s latest survival horror sequel.

Resident Evil 6 was not the game people were hoping for.
