@alcor741:But Resident Evil characters have been around longer than any character from L4D1/2....

I know, right? Given how RE is one of the pioneers for zombie games, I think any insinuations of conceptual plagiarism is unfair. CAPCOM could of never made a cooperative shooter set in their universe without loads of people claiming ''DEY JUS STEALIN FROM LEFT4DEAD!'' because their franchise just happens to feature zombies.

I think I remember seeing one call the Tyrant a Tank in a derogatory manner in one of the videos, implying that CAPCOM are, again, just stealing ideas from L4D. Despite that the ''Mr X'' Tyrant and every other B.O.W. creature in here were conceived long before L4D was even a concept...

The gameplay is more like left 4 dead. If this were a trailer for RE5 you wouldn't have people calling it a ripoff or comparing the two because they include zombies. I'm not saying this game is a clone of L4D, hell I haven't even played any game from either of the series, but this game looks to have more in common with L4D then it does normal RE. Again I must reiterate that I haven't played either game franchise and thus my opinion is invalid...

Dude, totally my first thought when I saw the first footage. RE has gone the way of the SOCOM.

Probably not. Most of my cousins and friends console of choice is 360 most of the time, and we all have mic headsets on there. So it's very unlikely.

ummm.... no its not gonna be like L4D and the characters are awesome, I like Left 4 dead and all, but i dont think the 8 characters in the 2 games can hold a candle to the dozens of characters in tha dozen or so games of the RE series. BUT thats just this old (wait im 26 -_-) mans opinion.

Seriously, they are the worst! I only hope that those are placeholders. Bad gun sounds can ruin everything for me in shooters (or in any game).

The aiming and controls look clunky and bad in an edited trailer. No part of that video looked exciting or fun.

I have been trying to find out if this game will have any decent single player and I keep coming up with nothing except that it will in fact have a single player story mode. Does anyone know anything?

There will be a cooperative based campaign featuring a story (and all the canon-breaking ''choices'' like killing Leon and what have you) with none of the competitive elements, which you can still play solo but judging from what I've seen of the AI isn't recommended.

The shooting and movement still looks too much like their SOCOM games, which I found zero fun. And the guns sound so weak!

If they introduce a third team and I can play as a licker, I'm sold. Otherwise, I'm not paying much attention to this.

I'm a little lost. Is it player Vs player while zombies are about attacking you? That seams a little counter productive.

The game itself looks to be interesting but I dunno.

From the moment I saw the guys with the cool helmets I knew I had to play this game. Haha, all joking aside, I was hoping that this game would turn out to be good. So far it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though.

I don't know what it is about Capcom games lately, specifically the multiplayer stuff, they all remind me of Lost Planet. The rendering, lighting, camera, interface, fonts, it all looks like its in an unfinished debug state. They need that extra coat of polish that UI artist brings.

I've been waiting for this game since I played Resident Evil: Outbreak and Resident Evil Four and realized how awesome that union could be.

PLEASE don't suck.

Also Crimson Heads (I think?) around 1:20. Didn't think I'd see them again. Neat.

The description actually reminded me of something: didn't Raccoon City get blown up at the end of Resident Evil 3 or something? I'm guessing this game takes place somewhere before that, right?

This is at the same time as two and three. So it may be a slight change in story to fit what's going on in this game.
