Positives- Leon and Chris FINALLY in a game together. Zombies and classic BOWs return. And the dark settings of of the city return.
Negatives- Looks to much like RE5 and looks far to flashy and "actiony" for a Resident evil title. needs alot more horror rather than action.
And thats all I have to say...
Yea I noticed that Chris's part looked ALOT more action oriented while Leon's looks more akin to RE2 (which is great). The mystery guys's story seems to be trying to reach a "middle ground between the two I suppose. I guess I am just going to have to dread playing Chris's side of the story. Its going to be such a slap in the face to go from horror to a freaken action movie in a Resident Evil game. Chris is fighting Mercenaries, has a entire team with him, and has a FREAKEN TANK! Definitely going to hate his side of the game if its all about action.
Why the hell couldn't Capcom just make a game for "action" with Chris as the star and Leon the star of the horror one? That would be alot better than forcing the "new fans" who love the new style of Resident evl games to play through Leon's part of the game (horror) and force classic fans of the survival horror Resident Evil games to suffer through Chris's action packed adventure.

And on another note.
I think the mystery guy is Steve Burnside. Look at his hand during the trailer. It looks exactly like Steve's when he mutates in RECV. And he looks to be around the same age Steve would be around that time and he even has the same hair color.
If it's multiple stories (a la Resident Evil 2), then just don't play the story you don't want to play. Besides, Chris is a member of a military. It kinda makes sense he'd have people with him. Besides, he said: "How many of my men died because of that BITCH?!?!?!" which probably means that his men are going to... well, die.
I think what the RE team is trying to do is not be like Dead Rising, and release multiple games just cuz someone wants to play as a certain character (DR2 for Chuck, and DR2:OtR for Frank). It's a waste to make two separate games for the characters when it's just as easy to put them in the same. Their stories intertwine in some way anyway.
Capcom's trying to cater to A) the fans of the classic games (RE1-3 and CV), and B) the fans of the action games (RE4 and 5). I honestly like both sides, so I ain't complainin'.
And on that, it was already confirmed there will be several characters, as well as co-op. Leon has his partner Helena, Chris has Beards, and Starkiller has "Ashley". Ada was confirmed to be playable later on. It was said there will be more characters.
As for Starkiller, I thought it was possible that it was Steve. That'd be nice, but I don't think it's likely.
Leon's part looks sweet, like Resident Evil's 1 through 4 good. Something tells me that his segments will be the best parts of the game.
Chris's part reminds me of RE5, not a good sign.
Mystery dude(Alex Wesker?) part I am mixed on.
Until I see more I will remain cautionly optomistic cause RE5 really burned me, though RE Revelations does seem like a glimmer of hope that Capcom can still do it.
1.You obviously missed my point. i was not simply saying Capcom should just make a game for separate characters. They should make a game for separate GAMEPLAY ASPECTS. Its obvious they are aiming for 2 different types of gameplay appeal in one game. Why make it a hassle for players to play though a part of the story they do not want to?Pffttt...
Pffttt...
Capcom trying to cater to both parts of the fanbase at the same time, instead of making just another action game in vein of RE5, and people complain about that?!
It seems the soul of the "fan" is a mistery afterall. Mistery that mostly doesn't make sense.
Oh, and IGN also said the blonde girl in the trailer was Sherry Birkin.
Where does IGN say this?
Can you post a link?
And was it confirmed by Capcom? or did they say it was from one of their "sources" or some BS like that?
Sorry but I don't trust IGN for shit lol.
Sure, http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1216937p1.html (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1216937p1.html)
If you don't trust IGN than this doesn't matter anyway, though. They've been wrong before, but the writer sounded pretty confident about this.
ecuted and can't get into them. There are people who don't mind what they do with the game, and as long as its fun they'll play it.
@DarkPrinceAlucard
I looked at the video at the part where it shows his hand, like you said, and uh...
Well, he's wearing a glove. How did you analyze his hand?
Uhhh
Did you really look at the video and his hand?
He clearly was not wearing a glove when he injected himself with something.
As you said: "Did you really look at the video and his hand?"

"He clearly was wearing a glove when he injected himself with something." fix'd
I even boxed in the areas showing his fingers for ya.
Herp derp. :P
Acording to IGN, each "story" (Leon, Chris, Etc.) is something you play through entirely from beginning to end without shifting to another. Though you would obviously be missing out on part of the game, it seems quite possible for you to entirely skip Chris's portion of the game if you so choose. But I'm betting you'd feel compelled to play it just because it's there and then say how much you don't like it being there... Essentially giving Capcom no way to win here. ;D
Personally I think it's very smart, they're giving content for all different fans of the series. In theory, it makes a lot of sense at pleasing everyone (or most everyone, you can't ACTUALLY please everyone when there's this many people involved). The only way to know for sure though is when the game gets closer to release and we get a lot more info.
Oh, and IGN also said the blonde girl in the trailer was Sherry Birkin.
My big question for this game though is the timeline. Supposedly it's 10 years after the Raccoon City incident, which would place it at 2008, I believe. RE5 was 2009, so is this game actually before that game? I'm hoping this isn't the case and this gets cleared up later.
AND DAMMIT CAPCOM, GIMME A GOOD GAME WITH BARRY AS THE MAIN GUY ALREADY
Oh yeah, capcom is on the ball!
RE is trying to be the next Megaman.
Only thing is that True fans will only be playing Revelations (because its like, y'know RE).
Does anyone else miss the 90's where games were distinctively different?
Where everything DOESN'T have to be a First or Third person shooter.
Barry? Where's Barry?
Capcom: I'm sorry, but he's probably...
Game looks pretty. I'm kind of sad there isn't a character named Beards, because it'd be a perfect match with all the explosions.
Every other Captivate thing was kind of meh. DmC's trailer was entertaining for keeping the cheese of the other games and not taking itself SUPER CEREAL like I thought it was going to, but I have yet to see any detailed gameplay impressions or videos, which is worrying. It seems like the entirety of its promotion has been empty boasting and chest puffing without any concrete details to back it up.

The healthbar is split in boxes and you only can regenerate the health of that box and its slow enough to not be that relevant. Try again.
regenerating heath no matter how slow and non relevant it may be is just a flat out dumb thing for a game that is "supposedly" a Survival horror or "dramatic horror" as Capcom calls it now.
Its just something that never should have a place in a Resident Evil game if you ask me.
Really does take away the "horror" aspect when you not only have powerful weapons,overpowered melee moves,a partner, and regenerating heath.
Seems like they are purposely trying to make this game as none horror oriented as they possibly can if you ask me.
You have six health boxes, and health only regenerates for one box. It's very slow, and you're highly likely to take more damage in the time it takes for the box to regenerate half-way.
As well, there are several less healing items from what I've played. Same goes for ammo (at least in Leon's part of the demo, but he only fights like... two enemies).
You have pretty standard weapons (mind you, the demo is automatically set at easy difficulty), the melee moves are balanced by a stamina gauge (unlike in ORC), your partner is about as useful as in RE5, and I already talked about the health.
As for the horror orientation, Leon's campaign offered a jump scare or two. Chris' employed the "holy crap, what do I do now?" tactic, and Jake's employed the "holy shit he's after me" tactic.
As I said before, each scenario focuses around a different feel. Leon's around the horror, Chris' around the action, and Jake's around the thrill and tension.
Sorry but NONE of what you said has eased my concerns.
As I said earlier, it does not matter (to me at least) how slow and small the regenerative heath thing is, the fact that its even there in the first place rubs me the wrong way as a longtime Resident Evil fan.
And it really does not matter if the partner is as useful as they where in RE5, having a partner there period really does ease the tension since you have someone there to back you up.
The same thing applied to RE5 and I am sure it will apply here as well.
The only Resident Evil game that pulled the whole partner thing off correctly was RE0 and that was because a lot of times in the game you partner could actually be LEFT behind or you 2 would become separated and you would have to play a good deal of the game yourself.
And the weapons are hardly "standard" during Chris's part of the game.
But whatever, this is all my opinion/concerns on the matter and sadly it will not be changed until I actually get my hands on this game.
Regenerating Health? Really Capcom?

In the end it will be useless. Its useless, its all useless.
Did you start on the hardest difficulty or something? :-\
Its a shame that they still puts DLC in the game disc, DLC doesnt mean Downloaded Content? Where is the "downloaded" part in that?
Stop dressing up exactly like the random enemies in this game and fucking with my aim, Jake.
Stop playing up the whole "Freakishly calm guy in dramatic situations" trope, Jake. Seriously, there's a difference between knowing how to keep your cool and taking it to the point where you display no hint of surprise or worry whatsoever and act in ways no real human being from the planet Earth could ever relate to. That crap always really annoys me because it's basically the author trying to make a character super-popular with 13-year-olds through forced 2edgy4me. Your biggest reaction to your entire mercenary platoon violently transforming into monsters and trying to kill you with knives is "Hmm, well I guess this isn't quite a normal day on the job." Were you expecting that to happen?
Stop lingering in the back shooting at god knows what when I'm trying to get out of the goddamned area, Jake.
Stop getting in the way of my snowmobile, Jake.
Stop being a featured character in a game with clunky vehicle controls when I just finished playing GTA5, Jake. What's the point of putting reverse controls on this thing when I can't turn the camera to actually see what's behind me?
Stop being bald in the snow, Jake. Your ears are going to get frostbite like that.
Stop being useless and help me find more item stuff, Jake.
Stop killing things with that swinging DDT animation, Jake. Wrestling is fake.
Stop trying to turn this campaign into a contrived soap opera, Jake. Sherry's La Femme Nikita / Viper Season 1 thing is doing fine without you.
Stop saying lines that could potentially cause DC Comics to bring a trademark lawsuit against Capcom, Jake.
