If you didn't know what game it was.
Code Veronica Claire doesn't look consistent with Degeneration Claire.
I'm all for women in games not having to look like supermodels all the time. RE:R 2's Claire looks like a more down to earth design. Closer to Code Veronica than Degeneration is.

They're establishing Revelations as their flexible, chronology-interrupting timeline-filler, lower-budget stop-gap RE fix, and 'return to classic gameplay' series, which basically means that you can explore a bit and nobody shoots at you. That's really all that differentiates Revelations from 4/5/6. A separate (and much larger) team is no doubt working on RE7 as we speak.
Also, I'd say there was little if anything Revelations did better than RE6 except for its isolated setting. And it certainly sold less than 6 did, so I doubt it's a marketing tactic.
I don't know, there's just so many redheads in Resident Evil.
I mean, there's Claire... and this guy:

No, but that's not a character design problem. That's just an anime problem. Clothes and hair are really all you have to go on.
Nonetheless, we know it's Claire. And she looks good. So it's okay.

So, Revelations series will maintain survival horror experience while main numbered series is more action oriented?

It feels like a natural evolution considering the upgrade in tech, it retains her main features. This looks like an entirely different character.

They want you to think that but anyone with half a brain knows that won't be the case.

Very funny.
If you didn't know what game it is would you look at that pic and say: "that's Claire from RE"?
Really? We're talking about realistic 3D models here. How can you even make the comparison to anime characters, wtf?

Really? People are that attached to a Resident Evil VA? That's kinda funny to me, since the VA in Resident Evil has always been mediocre at worst, terrible at best (yes you read that right xD).
Characters change far more than their faces all the time in video games. I can't imagine why this would be such a huge deal, especially considering she's aged quite a bit from when we last saw her. If anything I prefer this new design, she looks more human and less perfect supermodel porcelain doll.
Joke post, right?
...Right?
I'm not old, damn you.

Let's not kid ourselves. If people aren't able to put together that that's Claire, they probably don't give a shit about it. It looks like her and her name is Claire. No one is going to be confused.

Action game with two nonsexualized female leads who autonomously escape their own abduction?
Positive and progressive!

They could at least Dead Space 3 it and make the second character a non-factor in single player mode.
Though, this game seems to rely on the interaction between the two characters heavily, so perhaps it will work better here if Moira plays more of an Ashley from RE4 role.

Let's hope they don't initially get rescued by a man at the beginning or something...

Jill is around 30 in Revelations 1, 33/34 in RE5.

Claire dresses like an old boring woman, what happened to the over the top RE designs?!
That was one of the biggest complaints about RE6 and RER.
Multiple campaigns?

It's not a matter of being confused, it's a matter of changing characters for no reason. If it's her why change her face like that? It's stupid.

Sorry, can't agree with that at all. Whatever, I'll be playing on PC so there should be mods just like there were for Jill in the first game.

Character changing at certain points in the story, most likely. It's happened in most of the games.

How many people that bought RE5 actually played with another person? During my play through I never even considered it. Resident Evil has always been a solo experience for me. Horror and Survival Horror games have always been that way for me.
If it's drop in/drop out co-op and doesn't effect my solo play, then hey whatever.

I think it'd be neat if the two characters aren't constantly together and often split up, so if you play it one player you have abit more suspense/variety, and if you play it two player you have diverging experiences and certainly a more survival type experience as the flashlight kid.
first time I saw this while playing RER I posted a screenshot to miiverse to make fun of it. I mean, I like fun outfits to a degree... This is just silly.

I'm pretty sure the large majority of people played the game almost exclusively co-op.

I recognize this woman as Claire Redfield a lot more than I recognize RE5's Jill Valentine as Jill Valentine, to be quite honest.
She reminds me a bit of Gillian Anderson. I think it's the mouth and nose.

Uh, me? I actually liked RE5 and don't get why it gets so much hatred, and I'm really guessing that the hate gets from those who played it solo. It was a pretty fun coop game.
Thought the same thing when first seeing it too lol.

Im pretty sure a large amount of the 6 Million + players played coop at some point.
RE4 brought a whole new group of players and fans. So a lot of the audience doesn't even have ties to earlier stuff.
Um wtf, she IS Claire. She's been the one consistent voice actor and it has made it so much more special. God I hate Capcom.

I eagerly await the return of Claire's legendary hometown.

Maybe seeing the game running or pics from different angles will change my mind.
I'll say it again though, this has potential to be good.
Sure you can argue that you'd rather not have co-op since we're already stuck with it in the mainline games but other than that everything sounds very promissing to me.

That's funny considering BIO5's Jill has the same facial model as REmake Jill.

Curious why Coop is in at all though if Moira is nothing but support.
That can't be very fun for your friend. Hey man you can give me Herbs and you can shine a flash light for me!

Yeah, at least keeping the same voice would've helped, new voice combined with how much they seem to have changed her features is a bummer considering how much I wanted the character to return, there's barely anything left of her lol.

Funny thing is that its an homage to Jills RE1 concept.
It's not. Just as Jill's BIO1 concept wasn't a homage to Lunch in Dragon Ball.
