This does look fairly interesting. What has Slant Six made before?

I hope you can. Not because I want to, but just to have a wacky alternate timeline.
Also, zombies.

You totally will be able to. And I'd want to just for the sake of him being such an annoying turd in everything POST Resident Evil 2.

Well that trailer showed nothing. Still mildly interested in the game though, but that trailer really did nothing for me.
 
And the Slant Six logo is atrocious.

I don't want to be negative, but what looked like gameplay footage in this trailer looked like a Left 4 Dead 1 mod.
 
Dark and rainy and foggy nights in a city map with a gas station. Where have I seen that before, I wonder.

for whatever reason i think it looks like a duel stick shooter. i know it says squad witch would imply 1st (L4D) or 3rd person (RE:5ish?)  but the splats of zombies being shot looks exaggerated and character movement looks duel stickie.

He appears in the first few seconds of the trailer for quite literally a split-second.

Leon owned in RE4. So hilariously wacky.
 
Though I echo his sentiments at the end of that teaser. "What the hell is going on here" indeed.

Even though I'm a die hard RE fanboy, this looks very interesting to me. A L4D style of gameplay could work well with RE2 and 3 stuff, considering those games had quite their fair share of crazy weird B.O.W.'s(By the way guys, thats not something they made up for the press release for this game, that term's been mentioned multiple times in the main RE games).

Well it certainly looks a lot like Left 4 Dead. I'm interested to see what they're adding to the concept... I hope it's something good because I'm still playing L4D.

So take Left 4 Dead, remove fluid first person control, add last generation 3rd person controls.

After finally finishing Resident Evil Outbreak 1 and 2 last year, I'm still looking forward to visting Raccoon City again.  Anything Resident Evil and I'm there.  Except RE4.  Which should never have been called the 4th Resident Evil game.  Good game though...just not very Resident Evil for my tastes...

I always felt like The Raccoon City stuff was long done and that they had to move on, but I guess this is would have to be an appropriate setting for this kind of game?

Right right of course. It's factually correct that Leon wasn't an annoying one-liner spouting douchebag. Me and my pesky opinions!

Mostly I'm just super bummed out that this is what we're getting instead of a hypothetical Outbreak File #3. 
 
Outbreak would be amazing with today's online capabilities. Generic squad-based shooter n+1 strikes me as significantly less interesting. 
 
Doesn't mean I won't get it, or that I'm not super stoked for more RE as a whole, but... I dunno. Outbreak's probably one of my favorite things ever made, and I prefer classic RE over RE4-5 gameplay, so it's hard to be excited when they choose this over all the wonderful possibilities.

Eeeeeeeh....
When I heard about the game, I was all "sweet, maybe it'll be really cool," but now I'm worried for the game. I only say that based off a very scant amount of information, so who knows, but what was shown isn't doing much for my hopes.

But therein lies the charm of Leon, and pretty much anything made after Capcom realized they couldn't just get a bunch of English speaking guys from finance to do the dialogue.
 
I'll take the intentionally weird characterization of the 00s to the B-movie quality characterization of the 90s.

Also, I'd rather they continued the Plagas than go back to T-Virus zombies.  Plagas guys were interesting to fight, zombies are zombies.  I think Plagas guys saved that damn franchise as much as over-the-shoulder perspectives did.

hahaha nice one :)
 
I was excited about this game until I saw the trailer. This a) looks too fast paced to me and b), the characters move in a very weird way, it's like they're hovering above the ground and glide instead of walk and run around.
 
Going by this teaser/trailer whatever, this looks like a random zombie shooter.

He was so much more interesting as a character in RE2. He was a generic good guy on the surface, but did have a few layers, more so than most of the other characters at the time as well. He was much more naive, gullible, and had a lot of conflicts with trust concerning Ada. Naturally some character development of him gaining confidence in his abilities ect. would make sense as well, buy RE4 took it completely overboard.
 
Through RE4 they turned him into a dudebrofist super hero who makes such memorable and characteristic one liners as ''Where's everyone going? bingo?'' It speaks for the obvious change in style between the generations of RE games, and while Leon may of fitted it well enough, it didn't make him any less unbearable at spots.

Too close to Left 4 Dead but without the character - joining the party way after the boomer has burst.
