If you dug all of the connected points and upgrade systems in Resident Evil 5, you might be interested in what Capcom is doing with RE.net, their online service that will be launching alongside Resident Evil 6. Basically, it's like a connected stat-tracking system for the next game that will occasionally award you points that you can redeem for in-game gear for the "Mercenaries" mode while keeping up to date on how many zombies your friends have killed.
Enjoy the overview in the video above or check out a bullet point list of features after the jump.
So what do you think? do the features below add to or detract from what you consider the typical Resident Evil experience? The service launches day and date with RE 6 in October, so you'll have plenty of time to mull it over.
