This is still a thing? Capcom trying to be relevant is cute, but also kind of sad. Like a really old dog trying to run around like its still a puppy.

I still think the shooting looks very Socom: Confrontation-y. Might suffice for shooting zombies, but still looks frustrating as hell to shoot other players. Guess we'll see when it comes out.

Say what you will, I think this looks pretty fun.  Like all RE games I'm more interested in the story stuff but I could give this a shot .
 
Still want RE6 more though.

Game looks scary... just kidding..

I enjoyed parts of RE5, but really don't like the series moving away from the atmospheric solo adventure genre. Thought maybe they would return to the old games, but no, their going in the completely opposite direction of mindless action.

Not all those faces seem too familiar. The names? Sure.

The really sad thing is that this is the closest thing to a selling point that it feels like Operation: Raccoon City has.

Of course people will complain, but I'm very interested in it. I'm in. Not to mention, this is the closest we're going to get to some sort of RE2/RE3 remake for who knows how long.

I saw this at NYCC, and it actually looked pretty fun. Not really the direction I want the Resident Evil series to go in, but that's fine.

Also, Carlos looks weird.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on everything Capcom in recent years. (I'm not a fighter guy so SF stuff I don't pay attention to)

Resident Evil needs taking outside and shooting in the head. It's the humane thing to do.

I would still be up for a return to the Resident Evil 1 - Code Veronica days though, they should just restart with new characters and not make them insanely silly like Wesker. I think the series was fairly respectable in the earlier days.

Capcom are relevant, maybe you missed the last few well received games they released, they also made fighting games a thing again.

I'll give it a try. It's mashing up two styles of games I like tactical shooters and survival horror so I can dig it.

Man, back in the day I vowed I'd never play a RE game again after the superb RE2. And I was pretty strict to that vow. RE3 was announced and I couldn't care less about it. Then the new consoles (DreamCast/PS2) came along with the announcements of superb games, including, yep, RE: CV. I saw the screenshots and I was like... Wow! I'm missing out if I don't play this! And it was great. Especially the atmosphere of the 'Dollhouse' I remember fondly. From that moment on I was well and truly hooked to the series again. But still, to this day, I haven't played RE3. Should I pick it up? Or will watching a playthrough on YouTube suffice?

@GunnBjorn: I heard RE experts on the 8-4 play podcast say that 3 wasn't that good compared to the others. I never got around to it myself.

Why don't they just remake RE2 already? I'd rather play that than a multiplayer action shooter...

I haven't played an RE game since the first one on the PSX. I see I haven't missed much. Camera angles look better, though.

That's why I used Socom Confrontation as a reference point. It''s not a surprise but a disappointment. I'm hoping Slant Six learned from their past games and have actually developed decent shooting and moving mechanics. Everything about Confrontation felt awkward and I'm seeing some of that here.

But again, I won't say anything conclusive until the game comes out.

@wizall: Re2 was actually pretty good. Also RE4 isn't that scary, but its kind of crazy and fun. Maybe one of my favorite games. Way different than RE1.

To be fair that's how they spelt his name in RE3... so they're just trying to be consistent, I guess.

Her costume is taken from RE3, if that's what you were referring to. As for her face, it's well known at this point that CAPCOM have a weird habit of changing their character's design with, like, every iteration - Jill especially.

@Psykhophear said:

New character. Guess because they ran out of viable villains to play as set within the Outbreak (why no Brian Irons instead?), they just created some extra, generic USS soldier to take up the spot.

EDIT: Though actually, I think Lone Wolf is meant to be the pilot who evacuates HUNK during the 4th Survivor story-line.

This isn't actually made by Capcom, you know. It's like how Nintendo farm out the Metroid license to other devs and then publish it themselves, or how Capcom have made Zelda games for Nintendo. Also, as much as I dislike how RE4 and RE5 were basically 3rd person shooters rather than atmospheric horror adventure games, this kind of more action-orientated gameplay has always been part of Resident Evil, just usually as a bonus mode rather than a full game.
