Anyway, I wouldn't be so sure if RE 6 is going to be a reboot. Those news were announced last year. Latest news say that the developers are working on it as much as possible because they want to benefit from the huge fan base that was created form RE 5. Why should they reboot it if RE 5 was such a success?
However, Even if right now it is a reboot, you have to take in consideration that the game hasn't even been announced yet! It's in development stage which means that the one day it is a reboot the other the developers change it. I mean look at Resident evil 1.5 and the early version of RE 4.. just because they said it doesn't mean they will keep their words
