The distinct lack of a certain obscure Gas Masked Character is a disappointment, but at least everyone has alternate costumes. And yes, they should have online co-op.

(Waits for RE5 haters to appear and derail thread by complaining about controls)

Too bad there isn't any Ada or Leon. Still, this game is looking good...I hope.

no hunk my hopes are lost

Can not wait for blond Sheva !!!

Oh cool. you can go through the game without Sheva? That could offset some of the frustration I've been hearing.

It kind of sucks that Leon isn't in that picture...I'm guessing they'll charge for him in upcoming DLC (big surprise). I'm actually more interested in what you said about not having to play through the SP with a partner...That could make this game much, much better for me. I found the A.I. to be rather annoying in the demo. It doesn't really matter since I'm going to be getting this game whether I want it or not :P

no HUNK
-1 COOL POINT.

So has anyone unlocked a character ? The mercenaries mode seems somewhat challenging .

I unlocked Wesker in his S.T.A.R.S. Uniform while playing with a friend, as well as Jill in her BSAA uniform.

The controls still suck.
