The Button Presser

Today marks the release of Resident Evil 6 and NBA 2K13, out now for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. RE6 has been receiving a mixture of positive and negative reviews, so check out the demo of the game and the reviews if you're still unsure about picking it up. 2K games are the undisputed kings of current basketball games, and more so this year as EA has canceled their NBA Live 2013 and hope to have the game return in 2013.

Other notable releases this week include Sonic Adventure 2 HD and NiGHTS into Dreams HD for Xbox Live Arcade. Both games will be coming out Friday, so for the first time in a while, there will be no XBLA Wednesday. Both of those titles will be $10 (800 MSP).

Last, but not least is the US demo for Silent Hill: Book of Memories for Vita, as well as the release of 40 more PS1 games available for direct download to the portable console.

Have a great week of gaming!

Development on Resident 6 is completely done and copies are now being made to ship out all over the world for October 2nd, and Capcom is releasing a public demo before then so that players on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 can get a taste of the upcoming game. Capcom has stated that this demo will differ from the exclusive demo that players with Dragon's Dogma had access too, and will feature solo and online play.

The demo will also give players a taste of each campaign, allowing you to see how each scenario of characters could play out and differ.

Be sure to download the demo on the 18th!



From Capcom:

"Capcom is pleased to confirm that from September 18, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will be able to download a new Resident Evil 6 demo from Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Store. The new demo features completely different content to that contained in the previously released Resident Evil 6 demo exclusive to owners of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon's Dogma.

Players will be able to dive into content from Resident Evil 6's three main campaigns, either solo or partnering up via online co-op, and experience firsthand why it is one of this year's most hotly anticipated titles.

Play as either Leon S. Kennedy or Helena Harper and further explore the dark corridors and moonlit grounds of Ivy University, swarming with the victims of the latest bioterrorist attack.

The action in Jake's mission switches to the neon-lit streets of Lanshiang as he and Sherry Berkin fight off the J'avo, including their fully mutated forms. Be sure to check out Jake's special hand-to- hand combat moves and Sherry's stun baton as you struggle to stay alive.

Showcasing Resident Evil 6's global setting, Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans head with fellow BSAA team members to the war-ravaged streets of Edonia. The amassed J'avo forces provide a stiff enough challenge, but that's before the 3-story high B.O.W. Ogroman crashes the party. Select Piers for a slightly different weapons loadout than Chris including a sniper rifle with thermal scope.

In addition, for those owners of the PlayStation 3 version of Dragon's Dogma, the exclusive demo previously only available for Xbox 360 owners will be available from September 5 to download via token redemption on the PlayStation Store.

Resident Evil 6 will release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 across Europe and North America on October 2. A PC version will follow soon."

Xbox 360 owners of Capcom's Action-Rpg game Dragon's Dogma can now download a demo of Resident Evil 6 via the game's menu. The demo allows you to play as Chris, Leon, and Jack, giving you a taste of each character's story mode.

Come September 4th and 5th, everyone else will be able to check out the demo from the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Resident Evil 6 will be available on October 2nd, 2012.

Resident Evil 6 will be released on October 2nd, Capcom announced at Captivate 2012. They must be making excellent progress since the game was first announced to be coming November of this year, but the new date is fine with me. RE6 will include three playable stories, Co-op play, and the popular mode Mercenaries – which will be unlocked from the beginning.

If you plan on checking out Dragon's Dogma next month, don't forget that you'll have early access to the Resident Evil 6 demo when it becomes available.

Below is a trailer for Resident Evil 6 and the newly announced Lost Planet 3!

Capcom is enticing people to check out Dragon's Dogma when it releases May 22nd as it will include a one-time use code for the Resident Evil 6 demo. The code will give you the demo for 360 & PS3, with the demo itself coming out July 6th for 360, and September 4th for PS3. There wasn't much of an explanation on the delay for PS3, but there may be some sort of time-exclusivity between Microsoft & Capcom.

Dragon's Dogma looks like a really cool game. From what I know so far, you'll be tasked with downing some enormous creatures either alone or with friends. Sounds a bit like Shadow of the Colossus to me, so I'll definitely try to check it out.


Look for Dragon's Dogma on May 22nd!

Set to arrive sometime this November, Resident Evil 6 features longtime protagonists Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield. This three-minute long trailer has all kinds of cool details, so watch it below!
