Last week, Capcom gave us the skinny on their new free online service put in place to enhance the Resident Evil 6 experience by offering features including stat tracking, Facebook and Twitter integration, an app for smartphones (Android, iOS, Windows), points that can be redeemed towards in-game items, organized events, and more. Now this service has a launch date…
… And the official date is October 2nd, which happens to be the same day the game comes out. The concept behind RE.Net isn’t entirely unique but you have to give Capcom credit for what they’re going for. A game like Resident Evil 6 won’t draw dedicated multiplayer fans to it outside of people looking for a co-op experience, but it could adds considerable depth to a game that might otherwise fall off the radar after a few runs through the campaign.
Sean started playing video games in infancy. He was not given a choice as much as a directive from his parents to be the best gamer on Earth. Sean was subjected to 10-12 hours of rigorous daily gaming throughout his youth, mastering the most complex video games and dominating online competitions. Sean's symbiotic relationship with video games led to writing about them for various gaming websites, and he is currently involved in sales strategy and analytics at one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Sean's mission is simple: Turn 100% of the human population into gamers, willingly or otherwise.
