code veronica?
It's been known for a while. There was even some concept art of him in one of the side game book manuals. He's also older than Wesker.

Right, like I said it's more or less going to come down to semantics. While I agree with your assessments, the fact remains that RE4 was wildly different from the earlier games and much more action oriented. It gave enemies a plethora of weapons, something that traditional zombies would never use or even be able to use. The way I see it, the earlier titles while by no means realistic were at least grounded by the makeup of a traditional zombie style story. But RE4 took that really far with infected monks with crossbows and macho zombies with massive guns.
That's why I say that RE4 doesn't feel like Resident Evil to me. I base it on all the games up to Code Veronica because up until then they were all the same style and their stories worked together. RE4 nearly obliterated all of that, not just with the gameplay adjustments, but with the type of enemies you expect to encounter as well as the story.
And now, people are complaining that RE6 isn't like RE, when RE "hasn't been like RE" for 11 years now but they're perfectly fine with RE4. And that's understandable, it's a fantastic game, but RE stopped being "like RE" after Code Veronica. One can argue that at least RE4 had a good horror atmosphere, and I agree with that, but I do not think that it's anything like the first four games and it certainly laid the foundation for the series to become more action oriented.

I've been mancrushing on him since I was but a wee lad. You could probably put his voice inside of [insert horrible person here] and I'd still be attracted to it.

Really impressive looking.
Also, looks like Chris eased up on the bicep curls.

Man, WTF happened to the franchise. Dudebros, cover mechanics, guy who's jumping around fast like a super saiyan punching, kicking, and throwing infected people.......UGH.
The beginning of the trailer with Leon walking through a tunnel looked great, though, and that was it. I thought this game was going to take similar route like in RE2/RE3. Now we fucking tanks and shit.

Loved the trailer, I don't know if they are trying too much with some many "gameplay styles" but loved it.
All this talk about Ashley and Becca, it's like people claiming that the blonde girl in a red dress from early RE5 trailers was Sherry....lol

It sounds 99% like Ashley to me, but that particular shot looks like Rebecca.

This looks about as scary as Gears of War.
Which is disheartening.

I like the footage shown for Leon. Not so much for the one shown for Chris, though.

You mean this horror reboot?
I'm actually pretty interested in playing that. It looks like it'll end up being a pretty decent co-op shooter. And now that RE6 exists, there's no reason to shake your fist at this game anymore.

Looks like it is taking a Revelations approach: certain parts will be scarier/slower; others, not so much.
In any case, the new character looks awesome.
Playing second string to Alice in the new RE movie.
I take it that the virus in the game is that Urobouros thing Wesker made in RE5? It would explain why the blood of the bald guy with super power is important. From what I recall of 5, most people were not tolerant to the virus and ended up mutating or dying while very few gained super magical power like Wesker. I guess it could explain why the guy's blood is important if he's immune to its negative effect.

Leon looks kind of manly now. I hope he gets a lot of cheesy lines.
Wait, this is Resident Evil, of course he will.

Sounds like Ashley + since everyone has aged, it's safe to assume Ashley's diff looking when older?

Will wait on more news before passing judgement. As usual some Gaffers think they've played the entire game based on a 3 minute trailer and write off Revelations because it's on a handheld despite being exactly what they asked for.
As others have said it seems like this will be a big anniversary kind of game like Sonic Generations. It seems to have all different kind of viruses roaming about. It also has different play styles from different RE games. Also like the Game A, B, and C scenario with Ada having her own mission. I hope it's all interconnected as well as RE2 and RE4's scenarios were.
So far Leon's scenario looks awesome. His redesign looks good in some ways and terrible in others. I suspect his partner will be brand new but if she is a returning character it has to be Manuela. Only thing that tipped me off to that possibility is when she says it's all my fault and the camera flips to someones blood combusting as well as it looking somewhat similar.
Chris' scenario looks nauseating so far. However, the G virus infected creature does give me hope.
As for mystery guy, I'm agreeing with speculation and that this is likely one of those Wesker clones. His blood seems to be very important to the world and he also has superhuman abilities similar looking to Wesker. His partner is also probably new but it could be Ashley or Sherry. I need more info to assess how his storyline will be like.
If I had to guess it seems like Leon will be more RE4 style. Chris' looks like full out Operation Raccoon City stuff. Mystery Guy looks like sci-fi, action-adventure game instead of an actual horror. Here's to hoping Ada has a more classic RE style gameplay.
There better be an RE7 starring Jill, Claire, and Rebecca with Barry playable after completing their storyline.

I love that it wasnt just a teaser but a full-blown trailer that would be more in line with some launch day trailer or something.
This is what I was leaning towards. It also makes sense with the president being involved again.
Agreed. The trailer has many gameplay, and it's only a announcement trailer. Unlike Square-Enix with their Final Fantasy trailers... >=((
Weskier was doing this for the past couple games.

That and most of the RE characters undergo makeovers and voice changes that not even hollywood plastic surgeons could accomplish.
Hasn't it been confirmed that it's the VA behind re4 ashley voicing this ?
Not sure.
And to add to her being ashley: The mercenary tells her his payment method. She must have a lot of money and she hires someone -> connection to the president's daughter.
Like how leon was a bodyguard for her in the re4 story.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
WTF? No, it's not. That came and went like a year ago.
He looked manly in RE 4 as well, unless your definition of manly requires short hair.

im still in shock from seeing all the dudebro flipping gun spraying shit. this is capcom literally emptying the entire RE bin. there's really nowhere to go after this- at least with any dignity.
i can only hope that every second of it was cutscenes and there will be none of the vanquish (loved the game but it's a different genre) bullshit when it comes down to actual gameplay mechanics.
so far the only thing i saw that came off as being survival horror was the shadows of zombies in that tunnel.

It's almost as if Capcom always wanted to do this but couldn't or something.

Oh, come on... The zombie president part was practically a remake of the first RE zombie reveal.
