Like everyone else is saying: Opinions. It does make you wonder though. If you've been a Resi' fan for a while and enjoyed 4 and 5, then this looks like it's going to more of the same :D Got my copy on Saturday and I'm bloody waiting for my weekend (this evening) to start so I can play the damn thing! Roll on 6pm!
I hope it is as good as it looks. The major problem I find when getting excited for a new game is that I over watch videos and info. They do need to pump out as much advertising as possible so to hook in as many as possible, but when you're part of gaming communities and websites, I agree it can feel a bit of a hype-mega-x train pulling into station. Tbh the game looks solid and a whole lot of fun! Surely it's a good thing if they are showing you lots and lots of gameplay so you can actually see what works, and not just showing you CGI... then you know its bargain bin material lol.
You should probably look into the game a little more then just the demo they showed. They're adding a lot of new, pretty interesting stuff to co-op, mp, stuff like that. Yeah the main mechanics are very much the same but if you changed those up too much, it wouldn't be Halo. Your RE4 example doesn't really apply, that was taking a control scheme that most people would agree is pretty dated (yes there are people who prefer the tank controls and thats totally cool) and updating it. There are also people who would argue that the series has started losing a lot of what made it great since that game. Halo still needs to feel like Halo or else you're gonna lose the fan base. They're adding a sprint button, that alone is a huge improvement.
