Resident evil 6 Ada Wong

It's been announced today that Resident Evil 6 will be featuring a 4th Ada Wong campaign on top of campaigns already announced for Leon Kennedy, Jake Muller and Chris Redfield.

Ada Wong was first introduced to the RE series in Resident Evil 2 back in 1998 and has since appeared in multiple iterations of the game, including the recent Operation Raccoon City.

But this isn't the news that has me really excited today. What has my pants in a twist is the announcement of Agent Hunt mode which allows players to invade the game worlds of other players to hunt them down. Very Dark Souls-ish you say? Yes, very...and I love it.

It's looking like multiple players will also be able to invade the world of a single player and coordinate over a voice chat while doing it. And you thought being invaded by one player was bad enough...now you're going to have to deal with multiple  organized foes.

I've said in the past that there is something great about this type of multiplayer experience. An experience that introduces itself  in a much more fluid way by being incorporated into a single player experience rather than shuffling through MP Menu choices. This method is much more immersive and adds an extra level of danger to the world. Something that surely fits in a Resident Evil universe.

You can catch videos of both the Ada Wong campaign and Agent Hunt mode below.

    Idea is interesting, but that looks like a complete clusterfuck, full retard mod in a bad way. Either controls are horrible or people who play are blind because 50% of machete swings go nowhere and slice air. And why are they saying same thing over and over nonstop?

    An Ada campaign as well?

    November can't come soon enough...

    Love the idea of Agent Hunt mode. If it's an option you can turn on and off in the menus, that's staying on in my game!

    Hmmm...A mix of L4D2 and Dark Souls in the Agent Hunt mode. Interesting...

    New R.E., new must buy for me. The only thing i didn't liked since RE5 was the Lost Planet style bosses with glowy parts shouting " HEY, SHOOT ME HERE, OK?".
    Sometimes i miss Tyrant and his bullet-sponge body...

    I'm a bit worried about this feature whilst I think it is incredibly enjoyable in open world rpg games such as Dark Souls I don't see this working well in a linear survival horror shooter, tbh it seems like it will be just plain irritating in this game.

    Agent hunt mode looks like it'd be really fun.

    I really haven't given a shit about RE, but this actually got me interested. I love the idea of actually being able to die in one of these games, and to be able to jump into someone elses game and fuck them up. Hopefully they balance the rewards for defending or attacking correctly.
