Wrong.
 
Factually wrong. Leon was hilariously awesome in RE4. Stuff like the lasers makes it automatically the best story in RE history, by being purposefully silly, instead of seriously bad.

@SnakeEyes327:  Seriously you and I both know that any chance of an RE with PS1 era controls is non existant at this point, hence this spin off. And that's a good thing.  What I think he means is an evolution of the Outbreak franchise. It was more about the atmosphere, and the slower pacing made it actually a bit scary I guess. TBH I enjoyed it for what it was, but at the same time felt that it was past its prime. 
The only thing I can't understand is that the 2nd Outbreak let you walk and shoot, why the hell that wasn't in RE4-5 is a lil' bit weird to me.

@Brodehouse:  Not to nitpick too much but Leon, who was in RE2 which was made in the 90's, has had the same VA since then.  Just sayin'

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. "
Yes, who doesn't like arbitrary puzzles, key/card hunting,  bad camera angles and tank controls?What a wonderful world of possibilities they left behind right? All of those not-annoying mechanics that in fact haven't plagued the series and didn't put into a position of being so archaic that the rest of the industry almost stopped caring about the series as a whole. Whatever where they thinking. 
 
Now don't get me wrong, I have a certain love for the older RE games, RE2 and RE:CV respectively, but that gameplay ship has fucking sailed by the time RE3 came out. And even the REmake did little except add a new coatof paint, a new area and self defense items.  
 
With this game, I like that it's gone to an action oriented style. You're playing as the Umbrella team from RE2 and RE3. You're there to clean up the G-Virus outbreak. I would expect it to be closer in terms of style to RE4 and RE5. I'd frankly be disappointed if it wasn't.

This isn't the 3DS game. RE Operation Raccoon City is pegged for a ps3/360/PC release. You're thinking of Resident Evil: Revelations.

I can say I'm not looking forward to this game. Well, i'm interested in learning more, possibly to assuage my fears about it, but...  the game seems like it's mainly going to be humans vs humans, with some monsters in between, and I don't come to Resident Evil to fight other humans! Again, maybe the actual game isn't this, but that's what it seems like so far.
 
I'd rather Capcom just spend their resources remaking RE2. >=[

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

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.
