IGN's recent article "The Secrets of Resident Evil 6" reveals a new character's name: Derek Simmons. He is a National Security Advisor pursuing multiple agents. Throughout the game, he'll interact with all of the major players, including recruiting Sherry Birkin and tracking Leon Kennedy.

I was so all over this like 12 minutes before Vito, I posted in the Bio 6 thread though lol!!!

I am glad however that we have confirmation on Derek Simmons. Also, this just throws more mystery onto the character thought to be Ada. I'm sure this woman has some tie to Ada, be it physical or through other means. Personally I'm hoping they keep a lid on this until the game releases, more suspense equals more fun.

Okay thats it im out, going black time. Capcom doesnt know how to keep a lid on things.

It wasn't Capcom who shared this info, however. IGN has inside sources that tell them this stuff (they said Chris, Leon, Ada and Sherry were in the game before it was officially unveiled). I guess we'll have to stay away from IGN haha

Attack of the Adas! (You all have Ada as avatar, probably just ruined it. :/)

Guess the clone thing was true. ;)

Regardless, Resident evil 6 seems to already be a leaky boat...Resident Evil 5 and revelations by the end were shown inside and out, and even though that wont ruin an experience I would love for once to be somewhat surprised by the game in terms of story, settings, character revelations and the such.

I mean i'm not alone here right? who here agrees Re 5's trailers gave a huge amount and left alotttt less for us to discover in game, and revelations even more so. Capcom even introduces characters of name importance in a trailer, and then kills them in the next trailerr.

I already know of 'Carla' and now Derek simmons, who knows what will fall into place next....I seriously want to see clone cyborg ninja marine wesker in surprising cutscene fashion and not on a forum aaa thank you very much.

No more Re 6 news for me, no trailers, no gameplay. Im buying the game for sure, ill give it a go because its looking fantastic, but I wnat to be legitmately surprised too.

I agree with you ^.

I'm going blackout on anything but gameplay vids. Capcom doesn't know how to keep their game's info under wraps. I felt that Naughty Dog did the same thing with Uncharted 3. They showed WAY too much before the game's release and ruined it for me as nothing was unexpected or a suprise.

I don't want the same thing to happen with RE6, so i'm going to hide in the corner. Anyone else want to join me?

I successfully avoided the big spoiler trailers for Rev so my playthrough was more enjoyable.

Though I think it will be harder to avoid them with RE6. But here's to hoping.

Ughhh UC3 again I agree.

Ya I want a pure playthrough, I think ill even avoid the gameplay entirely, itll be interesting to see it so fresh and new when i put it in the tray.
