@Trifork89: i agree. They kept flashing the game's title in it for some reason even though we already know what's it called.

Racoon City is the only RE event I care about.  If every new game in the series just retold RE 2 and 3 somehow, I'd be set.

If I had to guess, I would say it will probably play along the lines of Left 4 Dead. Possibly first person, but more likely it will be a Third Person play.

Slant Six does good work. Confrontation was a good game despite the negative press. I Put over 200 hours into it thats gotta mean something.  
 
I wonder what kind of game this is gonna be. Third Person Shooter I hope. like Socom with Zombies.

I dont like the trailer. The movement of the people felt cheap. So far im just stoked for the HD remakes over this.

I'm part of the few that actually really liked Resident Evil: Outbreak 1 and 2. If it's anything like that I'm sold.

They're not after Leon specifically. They've been sent in as the clean-up crew, to assassinate all survivors and to cover the entire situation up and make sure it can never be revealed as to how it all happened. 
 
This is all completely non-canon anywhoo, so it doesn't really matter.

Hey, Capcom, Konami, how is that overseas outsourcing strategy working out for you again? What is that, like gangrene? Alright, why not let it continue to spread, I am sure it'll get better by itself.

Looks like you'll be able to run and gun in this game. Capcom should of had that in RE5 at least. The whole stop, aim and shot tactic is a bit out of date for video games lol.
 
Is it me or does the music for this trailer sound similar to the sountrack for the first RE movie?

I like me some Resident Evil but... that movement... One thing I have always loved about capcom games is they put so much emphasis on movement. Even if Brad hated it, the deliberate movements made Lost planet 2 for me. The movement and shooting looked a little too arcade-y for me if that makes sense. Though this is a really early trailer... I dunno.

This looks like a graphically sharper version of The Killing Floor. If it has a similar character/class progression, maaaaybe I'll give it a shot.

Oh god, did I really just sigh at a Resident Evil game when I inevitably saw zombies? Oh god, thanks Gaming Industry(tm) for the zombie fatigue.

I had a ton of fun playing RE5 with a friend so I'm looking forward to, what looks to be a co-op focused RE game. Also, Leon Kennedy FTW.

This looks like a true return to the roots of Resident Evil. And by that, I mean it looks like an original Playstation game.

What I would give for a resident evil game that was just single player, had an isometric camera, clever puzzles and some actual scary moments.

I feel bad  for people who think this looks good. You should go an play socom confrontation to see slant sixes work. I was a fan of socom confrontation but that is only because it had the basic socom formula, just filled with horrible bugs.

It makes me sad to see how many people think RE4 is better than the first two games, obviously 90's babies. I see everything Capcom does nowadays as money grab Nos-Con, in saying that this is scratching me right where I itch. Please bring Clare!

I don't think they even got the same voice actor for Leon. The appearance of Mr.X is pretty cool I guess but this doesn't show anything we didn't already know: Raccoon City has a zombie problem.

" 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. "
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. "
Point 1: Outbreak cut out the vast majority of the puzzles and key cards. They still existed, but in sort of the way that they exist in RE4 and 5. "Go here, get a thing, go over there, oh look now it's open." In a multiplayer environment you almost have to do that, and I'm perfectly content not having to deal with backtracking to get a crest to open the door to get a rooster key to go back where I came from and pick up an emblem. Point 2: I personally have never understood how "tank controls" are a terrible thing. RE4 uses the exact same control scheme-- it works fine.
 
I'm not arguing that a more action-oriented style doesn't fit this particular spin on events; I don't expect that the UBCS would be wandering cautiously around corners, conserving ammo, or jumping at every bump in the night. That would be silly, frankly. I'm only saying that the Outbreak games were awesome, and that I like survival horror a lot better than action-horror. I'm sure it'll be fine (at least, I hope it will), it's just not the sort of thing I'm going to jump out of my seat in excitement over. 
 
Granted, the time for survival horror seems to have pretty much passed. You can't please everyone all of the time, is what I suppose it boils down to. I'm just glad RE is still relevant in any way at all.

" 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... "
since you played both games only recently: are they still fun to play since they shut down the online servers? I mean, do they feel like regular RE games in singleplayer mode?
 
if yes, then I think I might hunt down Outbreak File #1 and #2 soon! (I loves me some classic pre-RE4 Resident Evil!)
