Capcom has fully detailed the latest title update now available for Resident Evil 6, which brings a host of fan-requested features to the game, including an adjusted camera and other tweaks as follows:

  • Gamers will be able to adjust the camera to give a greater field of view as best suits their play style. The camera screenshot pairs show the minimum and maximum range of the new camera setting. Please note that this feature is still in development and may change without further notice before the title update is released
  • Ada Wong's campaign will be unlocked from the start and have an optional player-controlled co-op partner added. It was previously necessary to complete all three other campaigns in order to unlock Ada's story
  • 'No Hope' difficulty level will be added above the existing levels, for players who want an extreme challenge

Here's the full patch notes for the second update for Resident Evil 6 due 22nd January, which includes the ability to select individual stages within chapters upon completion, as well as the option to turn on QTE assist on any difficulty level rather than just Amateur difficulty.:

Agent Hunt Mode
  • Available without having to complete a campaign
  • Selectable criteria for joining a session
o   Stage selection
o   Region selection
o   Players can determine whether to join a session based on campaign player’s settings such as infinite ammo or friendly fire setting
Stage Selection
  • Individual stages within chapters can be accessed at any time once completed
General
  • QTE assist
o   QTE assist is currently part of the Amateur difficulty level, and automatically completes QTEs for the player. With this update, players can optionally activate QTE assist on any difficulty level.
  • Adjustments
o   Some sections of the game have had their difficulty adjusted to provide an improved experience


As well as today's update, tomorrow sees three new packs - Onslaught, Survivors and Predator - releasing for Resident Evil 6 adding 15 new achievements exclusively on Xbox 360.

  • yippee
  • I've seen pics of the FOV changes and they're incredible. Excited to get this patch and try them out for myself.
  • Erm, having Ada's campaign from the start is a bad idea. People starting out really should play the others first since Ada's campaign doesn't really have a story of its own - it just ties up the rest.
  • the QTE's were what made the game halfway difficult in the first place. no hope will be a joke once you can turn the assist on to help you
  • nOObs will be happy to get Ada without doing all the work to unlock her nOObs . Humbug
  • Gonna lose my 100% with the new DLC coming but that is fine. It was nice being number 1 on something though. Anyway I think that the chapter select add on is great news because going back for those serpents where annoying without a stage select for each chapter. While some might think that it's cheating to use the QTE assist for any difficulty, I welcome it as this game had way to many QTE moments for no reason and I hated them. People should still play ADA's campaign last though as it makes no sense to start with it. Camera change is a nice touch too.
  • My friend just sent me this game in the mail. Right on time with all of these additions!
  • @4 QTEs should not be hard at all ever. End of story. There are plenty much better ways to increase difficulty.
  • Does anyone know who Ada's co-op partner is?
  • @ 9 Knowing Capcom it's going to either be a faceless soldier or a duplicate Ada.
  • @10 and lo and behold, its a faceless soldier!
  • Loving the anti-QTE addition and the sub-chapter select, even though I won't get any real use out of the sub-chapter selection, having all story achievements. Still nice for if I just want to do something specific, and for new players. Also loving the Agent Hunt improvements, though good luck to anyone who wants a game without infinite ammo... Also still hate the Ada campaign being available at the start. It's kind of like a big "Ok so here are the things that aren't really explained in this movie. Now, go watch the movie for the first time." type deal. Makes no sense. I GUESS it kind of helps someone who doesn't give a rats ass about the story and just wants Ada for mercs though.
  • @ 4 And QTE's are exactly what ruined the game for alot of people. Hell before I knew it helped to rotate both analog sticks, I couldn't even pull that stick out of that giant's back in Jakes campaign! Any QTE that asks us to rotate the analog sticks and near impossible super human speeds or constantly tap a button at super human speeds needs to be addressed. I can't even imagine how difficult the QTE's would have been on Proffessional, much more the new difficluty. Thank god if there is one for the QTE assist and finally pulling that camera back! Thank you capcom!
  • Good touch .getts effing stressful them stupid qte bits an the camera angles thats always welcome.
  • Was I the only one who found the QTE's to be no issue? I think I failed like.... 4 across the entire 4 campaigns.
  • @15 No you weren't this entire game was easy man. I'm actually getting sick of the cry baby gamers out there that force developers to change there game because they can't do it or have the mental capacity to do what the game asks! Every game seems to get ruined by cry baby gamers, and to all you people that do complain... DID YOU PLAY GAMES IN THE 90's AND EARLY 2000's before patches and game altering endings (Mass Effect)? For gods sake this crying effected Dark Souls which was perfect difficulty wise out of the box.
  • Oh man, there goes my 100% completion status :(
  • @17 Same here... Good thing is i can borrow it from my brother!
  • Ada's boobs
  • A shitload of multiplayer achievments, I'm sure this is exactly what hardcore Resident Evil fans wanted. Go Capcom!
  • Where do you find the QTE Assist option?
  • Nevermind, this isn't available until January 22.
  • @16 QTEs shouldn't have been in there in the first place so no ones bothered. Unless you enjoy QuickTime events...if that's the case well then you're weird. If anything they're making it harder with No hope Left. Pressing my finger on a button super fast is not my idea of "hard"
  • honestly, RE6 needs to refresh the whole game... I did not like at all :(
  • no achievements? No buy! XD
  • @#23 - QTEs were actually implemented in games a lot because when they first happened, everyone shat bricks that it was the coolest thing ever. They started out with, I think Shenmue, and it was all "WHOA, NOT SAFE IN CUTSCENES!" and it was cool because the action didn't stop, you would be able to do stuff in cutscenes as well. Somewhere down the line, someone missed the point and decided regular gameplay needed QTEs, and lots of them, which doesn't make sense. I guess it is for cinematic feel, but it generally comes off as "what?" And I'm not sure who it was that decided to make boss fights in games into QTE-fests.
  • new chieves :D
  • Glad for all of those. Fuck the haters, this just made the game so much better. Better view around you (which was my main complaint), ability to turn off QTE (my second biggest complaint) and co-op for Ada campaign. And all free! That's pretty awesome, if I might say so myself=)
