Trailer looks great but i have my reservations.

November sounds like a good month to release this. It'll only be up against Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty and who knows what else.

[TGO]

Was hoping for Claire Redfield, oh well

[TekkenLord]

this R6 better scare the living shite out of me.

[daLa]

Hopefully if they do reveal the game on No Hope Left, it has zombies in it.

[Dave-The-Rave]

I think zombies are gone for good in RE..probably just going to be the stupid parasite again.

Leon and Chris?

Zombies of old? Looking promising..

[daLa]

Zombies are finally back yay! but so is the action & adventure kinda gameplay so it kinda ruins it for me but I'll wait.

[itachi73378]

OMG...got the blood really pumping. And Ashely is back?!

[Blacksite]

Wow, that was a sick trailer.

It looks promising. Some cool set pieces and lots of scary-looking zombies.

[Phaded]

Well she was the president's daughter, looking older now though, hopefully not as annoying

[daLa]

She still looks annoying and her voice also lol.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Looks more funny than scary..burst out laughing at zombie president and all the melodrama.

[btbam]

10 bucks says Leon is boning Ashley. I love Resident Evil. No matter how convoluted the plot gets i still love me some RE. I just don't want to swap between a bunch of characters. Looks like we will be playin as Chris, Leon, and a third dude. I'd rather stick with just Leon. Also, Chris' arm isn't larger than his head now lol.

[The Black Wolf]

Aw man, with zombies it might be TOO scary for me. We'll see.

[$Greatness$]

Aw man, with zombies it might be TOO scary for me. We'll see.

Say what?! That's the whole point! Scare the fraudulence out of ya! lol

But RE isn't a game I play personally. I just like to watch my cousin run through it.

[1261shaun]

i hope there's a merceneries mode.

[Cloudie]

I'm impressed. The gameplay looks pretty good.

[Bravo9zero]

I dunno how I feel.
The trailer started off well, Raccoon City, Zombies, going back too its roots Etc

Then came the COD Spec ops...

We're never going to get a proper RE game again, are we?

Reminds me of Gears of War.

[ddPLaNeT]

There's a good mix of influences in this game, there's the fast action of COD games, cover mecanics of gears and probably more but you know what, the game looks amazing ! I think the serie needed to evolve somehow and keep up with the times... there seems to be some sick spooky moments witch would make me adore the game even more + the fact that there's zombies and the Resident Evil 2 atmosphere, i'm damn sold !

This is a major teaser, i already want to play this bad boy !

Well, this is another title to add to my 2012 library !

[Mael Duin]

Was much better than what I expected. And seems to have three different stories in three different places.
We got the best character in RE-series Leon, rock punching Chris and a guy made for "I wanna play as Wesker" people.

And no, at least the main series is not even going back to your old clunky RE horror style. Just stop hoping for it.
Spinoff, maybe.

[SchaffinOSX]

Meh. I don't think we have enough information about the game to start making these assumptions. I think this game has a chance to be an excellent Resident Evil title.

thats how i feel. The trailer started off really good with Leon and zombies but then it went all bro shooter once the other guy hit the scene.

This...I really hope there are 3 modes a la Uncharted 2 and 3.

Single Player (Leon- RE4 mechanics with improvement)

Co-Op mode (Chris and Team- Gears of War type style of gameplay)

Mercenaries (New Guy- Vanquish type gameplay)
