It's Ashley. Yep. Naturally, IGN is wrong about it being Sherry.
Hm.. Rewatching the trailer, its a shame they got rid of Paul Mercier as Leon's voice. If its the same as the ORC VA, then its essentially Dave Wittenberg doing his best Paul Mercier impression.
With that said, I will miss the dead-pan, yet sarcastic delivery of Leon's lines like in RE4 and Darkside.

Let me just say that this gif is basically what I wanted out of RE6:
So, at least I'm getting that much. The rest of the game is up in the air though.
Leon's segment in the trailer got me so excited, that I just kinda ignored Chris' dudebro part.
Rewatching it, my expectations are now in check. But at the very least, I'm hoping Leon's story is very horror centric. If the Revelations demo was anything to judge by, Capcom can still do it, they just choose not to with RE5, and Chris' RE6 story.
Looks great!
I really like the Leon scenes, it almost looks like the open world RE 2 city survival I always hoped for.
And the Chris sections look decent, I always wanted to see a local set in China or HK. I wonder if it'll lead to an outcry?
I enjoyed RE5 somewhat, the thing that made it very un RE was that you felt like a walking powerhouse. In RE - RE CV you felt desperate to find weapons and ammo. Without them, you were running, dodging and weaving like a running back while scavenging for bullets and herbs. In RE5, it felt like you really didn't have to evade anyone (unless it was a boss fight), you could just mow people down and keep moving. I swear, playing with Chris made me feel like an albino silver back gorilla with bazookas on his shoulders. It's not that the game had too much action, Chris just felt nearly unstoppable, and it killed the tension.
By comparison, in RE4, you build Leon into a hardened killer with upgrades... but due to the location and feeling like a stranger in a village out to get you, there's tension and an ominous feeling that stays with you. In RE5 you just feel like a walking badass tourist with an annoying partner.

Pretty much. RE4's story had 80s action movie flair. Leon was straight-up Jack Burton tossing a knife at the baby napoleon monster's hand. And Luis!
RE5 was boring D-rate anime. The main Resident Evil story went off he deep end. Josh was the only good part of RE5's story. I still like RE5 as a game a lot, but the story was so dull.

Because they want to troll and can't find a decent reason.
And / or maybe didn't played all the previous RE games to know they influenced these games, instead of being influenced by these games.
And well, considering that a lot of complainers have Nintendo avatars, I assume that a WiiU version would have halved the complains.
I don't get it, he didn't do anything but press some control pads and drive a boat.
This looks awesome! It'll be nice when the 100 or so people stuck in the past are drowned out by the millions and millions of others who will buy and love this bad boy.
T-Virus zombies, dogs and fatty zombies? Check. Sinewy, scythe-armed mutants, skinless behemoths and tentacle-armed cover-killers? Check. The best-looking Nemesis yet? Check.
A straight-up undead apocalypse in a town burning to the ground? Check. A chilly daytime setting full of Eastern European doom and gloom? Check. A glitzy, neon-lit cityscape at night where you're right in the thick of the public's panic? Check. Moody atmosphere? Check. Horrors stalking you in shadowy subways? Check. Overwhelming odds? Check. More ways to kill but more things to kill you? Check.
A high-stakes sense of escalation, of things coming to a head, of a global crisis creating an epic backdrop to more intimate horrors in dark blood-splattered places where the dead have already risen to eat the living? CHECK.
Single-player? Check. Co-op? Check. Multiple playable characters and campaigns, overlapping and entwining? Check. Chris and Leon in the same game? Check. A new character with a sharp wit and what looks like a dynamic new way of fighting? Check.
This is just the beginning. I can't wait to see what else they will show us. In the meanwhile, I wonder: Is Ryan Seacrest the co-op partner for Chris? (See 2:40 in the trailer for celebrity look-alike lols)

Your gif is missing how the fat zombie goes for a scoop slam.

Gonna take a guess and say it's Ashley.
The merc is probably dealing with her since she's the one (probably) who has the most money.

Nothing new but biohazard 6 site is online with the trailer http://www.capcom.co.jp/bio6/
Will be disappointed if this isn't a launch window Wii U game. I would normally just pick it up on the PS3 but I played RE4 on the GameCube and again on the Wii. Leon and Ashley in an RE game that isn't on my Nintendo platform of choice would be a bummer. I wouldn't be shocked if it is announced at a later date.

It's probably gonna be a separate 60 dollar game. 😞

I don't get why people act as if RE5 was the source of all of this. RE:CV story-wise was even worse than RE5. However, gameplay wise it was better received.

I admit that Leon's scenes in the trailer appear to be somewhat more humble than Chris' scenes. It is almost like they're keeping Leon in the RE2/RE4 universe, and letting Chris have his fun with all the crazy-shit-is-going-on-explosions-take-my-hand-hurry. Optimally they'll ship this on two discs so I can simply play Leon's chapter and never touch that goddamned Chris-disc.
Oh right, Hunnigan. Not hannigan. Well whatever, she rocks.
Leon/Josh Holloway needs a shave.

The voice sounds close enough but it does sound slightly different. Kinda like the VA sucked in a little helium before speaking, JMO. Voice sounds like Ashley but it could be Sherry. I don't really care because either one could be interesting. I think Slant Six and IGN are on about equal standing when it comes to reliability. I figure we'll find more out come E3.

The president and Leon seem to be friends, I imagine he wouldn't make jokes about having to kill him because he became a zombie.
But I do hope we have some other antagonists that Leon can play off of. Most of his humor comes from his conversations with Saddler or that creepy elf guy.

That was so random.
I remember how back then people theorized that Hunnigan is Ada in disguise (and because Ada lost her glasses, then so did Hunnigan)
.I'm sure Leon will crack a few jokes in RE6. He HAS to.

I hope they can find back to the fun campiness, RE5 went all serious and was worse off for it. :/

i agree except for the roundhouse kicking zombies is a bit ridiculous.

leon aimed his lightning gun and zapped the zombie president, leaving the poor undead commander in chief crackling with electricity

Dude, it's a video game about zombies. Suspend your disbelief for a moment, and just pretend that special trained agents have martial arts training. It's not like any ridiculous stuff happened in the old RE games.

Leon roundhouse kicks things. That's what he does. It's not ridiculous, it's Leon S. Fucking Kennedy
Resident Evil is much better for his mind-blowing moves
