Trivia / Resident Evil 6

• Acting for Two: Ada and Carla are voiced by Courtenay Taylor. Which is justified, since Carla is actually a doppelganger of the real Ada.
• The Cast Showoff: Troy Baker, Jake's voice actor, sings the song that plays during the credits to Jake and Sherry's campaign.
• Creator Backlash: In the Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Document File, Capcom stated that, while this game sold well, its poor reception by critics and longtime fans was the moment when they realized that the series had fallen into a creative ditch and couldn't keep going the way it was if they wanted it to remain popular and successful. A lot of the back-to-basics, horror-focused approach that the developers took with RE7 was driven by a sense that, if they made another main-series title like RE6, it would probably be a Franchise Killer.
• Defictionalization: Most of the tactical gear used by the BSAA, including their soft shell jackets were released by Capcom.
• Milestone Celebration: This game marks the fifteenth anniversary of the franchise; as a special treat, gamers were able to purchase the first four mainline PlayStation games from the Japanese PlayStation Store for 3,000 yen through the end of March 2012.
• Promoted Fanboy: Matthew Mercer, Leon's voice actor, has been a long running fan of the series, with Leon being his favorite character.
• Recycled Script:
  • Most of Leon's campaign uses settings and plot elements very familiar to longtime fans of the franchise. Among other things, he ends up in a city filled with zombies, to the point where he even meets a cop on his first day and goes to a gunshop to stay safe, and ends up in a mansion with its own dark secrets. Said mansion features several underground catacombs.
  • The same can be said of the other campaigns, to a degree. The game recycles the angry, brooding, vengeance-driven Chris from Resident Evil 5 during the majority of his chapters. Jake and Sherry's campaign can be seen as a retake on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (with Ustanak filling in for Nemesis). Ada's campaign is much like her Resident Evil 4 campaign, as she tails the rest of the cast and fills in details as she goes along.
• Shoot the Money: Resident Evil 6 has the highest budget of any in the franchise, possibly a greater budget than any Capcom game made previously, and we get to see all of that in the ridiculously amazing visuals.
• Urban Legend of Zelda: Rumors circulated of an Updated Re-release known as Resident Evil 6: Final Hope, which would have brought the game to Wii U as well as include an additional campaign for Claire.
• Viral Marketing:
  • A pop-up shop called the "Wesker & Son Human Butchery" appeared in Smithfield's, East London's famous meat market. It served herbs and edible meat that was designed to appear "human".
  • Around the same time, food futurologist Dr. Morgaine Gaye and virologist Professor John Oxford gave lectures about topics related to the games at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Pathology Museum.
  • No Hope Left, an alternate reality game involving cryptic images and videos posted to a website, most of which involving graffiti from different parts of the world that reads, "No Hope Left".
• What Could Have Been: Christian Lanz would have reprised his role from Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City as Leon had it not been for scheduling conflicts.
