INTRODUCTION

· What is GOBLIN6?

GOBLIN6 is a Resident Evil [BIOHAZARD] fan site. This site aims to become a fan favorite BIOHAZARD destination on the web.

· GOBLIN What?

The name comes from the greatest character in the BIOHAZARD universe, HUNK’s teammate, GOBLIN6, who met her demise in the sewers of Raccoon City.

· Why create a BIOHAZARD fan site after 20 years?

BIOHAZARD has been my favorite Video-Game series since I first played BIOHAZARD 2 on the Sony PlayStation back in the early 2000s.

The idea for a BIOHAZARD website came to me around 2002. Unfortunately, the possibility to create and launch a website was far beyond my capabilities at the time.

Today, I have finally been able to create my personal tribute to my favorite Video-Game Series with this site. BIOHAZARD has given me so much, this website is my way of saying “Thank You” to each and every single person that has contributed to the BIOHAZARD series, developers and fans alike.

· Who am I?

I do have a name yes, but this website is not about me.

This website is about the love for the BIOHAZARD Series, with that in mind you can call me hobbes_182 [I frequent many BIOHAZARD fan sites with this same name].

Those BIOHAZARD fan sites also played a huge part in my decision to create GOBLIN6. I would like to thank all of those sites as they lay the groundwork and continue to move the BIOHAZARD community forward. Here is the list of those awesome pioneers which have given us so much:

INFORMATION

As you have seen above, the site will be referring to each game in the series as BIOHAZARD instead of the North American title RESIDENT EVIL.

This is due to the fact that BIOHAZARD is the original name for the series. Plus, the series has expanded so much in the last few years that I feel that BIOHAZARD fully encompasses what the series is today.

MEDIA

All images will use the same size in terms of dimensions, this is simply a formatting choice. This was done to keep all Media streamlined in terms of presentation.

None of the images will be watermarked as I do not own any of the images, they were all created by the amazingly talented Artists that have worked on the BIOHAZARD series.

The Games section will feature trailers for each respective title, these videos are linked directly from Official CAPCOM YouTube channels. Unfortunately, a lot of the older titles are not featured on CAPCOM’s official channels. Those titles will instead feature videos celebrating BIOHAZARD’s 20th anniversary, again, from CAPCOM’s official channels.

Games with missing trailers will be updated once GOBLIN6 acquires the footage in the highest quality currently available for online streaming.

Game profiles will also feature character renders pertaining to that specific title [if available]. Older titles such as BIOHAZARD 2 & 3 will feature renders from their respective characters as shown in the most recent title they were featured in. Such examples as Leon and Claire from The Darkside Chronicles in their BIOHAZARD 2 attire.

NEWS & UPDATES

I will report on all news pertaining to the BIOHAZARD universe as it becomes available. Usually, there is always a drought of BIOHAZARD news, for example, the next official entry in the series, the latest spinoff, or the latest animated feature.

To make up for this downtime, I will also be posting about the latest endeavors from the key creators throughout the series. Such as Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks or Hideki Kamiya’s Platinum Games.

I believe that it is of great importance to expose BIOHAZARD fans to the great number of avenues which the series has created.

GOBLIN6 FOCUS

At GOBLIN6 I will delve deeply into the development tools which have helped create the BIOHAZARD series. When I first discovered the series my main question was:

“How the fuck was this created?!”

Hopefully, there are fans which have asked themselves that same question. I will be creating features on the tools and technology behind the series.

All in-game files are presented in their official North American Localization, as many fans are aware, these translations are erroneous.

Currently Japanese is out of my skill set, for an in-depth library of translated files feel free to visit the BIOHAZARD Lore wizards over at Project Umbrella.

FORUM

This site will offer a Forum with the appropriate categories for BIOHAZARD discussion. As with many Online Forums, there will be a set of rules that will be listed to facilitate the most streamlined discussion possible.

However, the most important rule for the Forum will be:

Please do not be afraid of posting your topic.

For example, perhaps you have a question about a particular game in the series. Maybe you have looked up the topic and have found it on another BIOHAZARD forum. Many years have passed and most of those threads are either dead and/or gone.

Today, perhaps the community has more insight on that topic which was not available back then.

Remember “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I highly encourage you to post pictures pertaining to the topic if they are available. Images surpassing 600px in width will be automatically resized.

FORUM RULES

The Forum will be heavily moderated to prevent spam posts. There will be countermeasures in place to prevent spam bots from defacing the Forums.

Again, do not be afraid to post. If your topic was posted in the wrong section of the Forum do not worry, it will be moved to the appropriate area with pleasure.

With these points in mind, here are the general rules and guidelines:

PLEASE DO NOT

  • Be rude or disrespectful to members of the Forum [including staff].
  • Use one worded replies.
  • Create Religious or Political topics.
  • Make Sexist, Racist or Offensive remarks.
  • Use any Sexist, Racist or Offensive images in posts, avatars and signatures.
  • Post game downloads [.roms, .isos, .bins, etc].
  • Request any downloads of any type [copywrited material].

The only download links permitted are OPEN SOURCE tools and utilities for BIOHAZARD game modifications.

These should be placed in the WESKER server, under the appropriate category: Progenitor or Uroboros.

Steam Mod links are permitted for Modern BIOHAZARD titles.
Memory Card save links is permitted for Classic BIOHAZARD titles.

PLEASE DO

  • Have fun!
  • Engage with members of the community.
  • Create meaningful post titles.
  • Use the search bar before posting.
  • Keep private matters private. Use Private Messages when needed.

If you are a “spam poster” [someone who deliberately joins the forum in order to post sales links] you will be immediately banned without warning.

I know you get paid for it, but these Forums will not tolerate that kind of behavior.
