Platforms: PS3, 360

Using a more advanced graphics engine than Resident Evil 5, this game looks gorgeous. Having not yet broken the seal on the first one, I can't say much comparatively from it, but this game looks good. One of the biggest new features that Capcom is touting is the ability to play four-player co-op online. This can be extremely helpful when you're fighting one of the massive bosses which they showed off, who towers five stories above the size of your character. They even showed how you can get inside the boss, and I mean that literally, in order to hurt them from inside of them. Another thing I noticed during the quick demo that they showed was the wonderful shots of the water. The game's water effects looked beautiful, especially when a giant four-legged salamander was walking through it. This game will also continue to support 16-player multiplayer so that you will be able to kill your friends online. So far there hasn't been an announcement for a PC version, but they haven't denied it happening. This game looks good, and I'm on the fence if I really want to get this game or not, as it just looks like another sci-fi third-person shooter still.
