Today, we had a sit down with Yoshiaki Hirabashi in a group presentation among various media outlets. In the this setting I was able to ask a question that I felt many fans of the franchise would want to know. What will happen the upgrade system from RE4 and RE5? Well, it was confirmed today that there will be no purchasing weapons before a level and that the upgrade system would also be getting a revamp.

“For the first time ever there will be no purchasing weapons before a level or from a merchant. As for weapons, you will find more weapons as you progress through the game. Most characters will use all of the same weapons” It was also announced that there will be skill points that you can find to use on your character to level them up. How in-depth it will be wasn’t discussed but we can assume there will be a lot of new skills to learned for characters.

I really miss the merchant from RE 4 and the RE5 system but with all great things comes to an end. Well, what do you all think? Post your thoughts below!

Good, just like in the old games!

Oh no, that sucks! Sure its more like the classics, but the Buying System was one of the features that made me play RE 4 and 5 many times. For me this is a Big Con for RE 6. Hm, will thee be still an Upgrade System? I mean, can you take your Weapons and upgrade them? And btw. can you take more Weapons? Like in RE 4 with the Case or in RE 5? Or will it have a fucking shitty 2 Weapon-System like every generic Shooter?
Well atleast maybe we can hope that the Leon Campaign will be atleast scary and be survival Horror.

  Re6 inventory system is like a combination of silent hills and re5 systems, you carry stuff like you do in silent hill but you can fast scroll your weapons and other inventory with your dpad

  you can find weapons through out the areas, much like in the classic resident evils, and sad to say in re 4 and 5 if you wasted the money buying the weapons you weren’t looking hard enough only the special unlockable guns had to be purchased, if you didn’t take the time to find the weapons in 4 and 5 then you probably won’t find them in 6 either

    Ya but look at the gun list… There is like 8 findable guns in the whole game… what a joke.
    - Psychoframe
      
      There are 20 standard in game weapons revealed so far not including the grenades and other explosives, which is the same number RE5 had prior to unlockable weapons and explosives. RE6 will also have unlockable weapons which adds more to the weapon list.

RE6 is bringin the games back to the classic style in a sense they are keeping the play style of 4 and 5 but you cannot run and gun in this, guns have to be found and ammo is scarce so much like the originals you HAVE to be smart with your ammo and utilize CQC and objects found around the area

Wow what the fuck is wrong with them for not putting a buying system those fucken idiots
Logan

Was so excited before finding this out, Now I don’t even want the game.
Why do modern game devs feel the need to fix what is not broken.
Res 4 had a good system.

Well.. why does it have to come to an end though?
