Insect enemies? I love when I find out about those before playing a game like this - now I don't even need to consider playing it. 
Yes, I know I should have expected insect enemies in a RE game by default, but you can't blame a guy for hoping!

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
How many people do you genuinely think read the manual and constantly inspected every item? Not the average gamer man. And the point still stands in that RE puzzles in back in the day were really convoluted.

Hahah man, that'd be a nice little treat.

Most RE puzzles are actually, really, really basic and easy to solve. There's maybe one or two per game that might give someone a bit of trouble.

So when is Wesker going to be thrown in randomly!!!
They weren't convoluted at all. You would find an item, look at it and if it wasn't immediately apparent what it was for you would know that at some point it would serve a purpose. RE has been extremely straight forward and logical - up until this demo. I don't think puzzles like the one to get the coin will be in the main game. I hope not anyhow.
I don't think so. I think it's really just something the devs did because we made such a big deal about the dummy finger.
They were able to string us along from E3 until a month from release with the different versions. We are all the hype machine, and I'm pretty damn hyped.
I'm sure most of the main game puzzles will be more grounded in REality though. Challenging and cryptic, but solvable eventually.
Exactly my thoughts. We haven't seen shit yet. Not necessarily a red herring, but the Bakers and every person shown is just a cog in the wheel. How it all unfolds and why is still a mystery. Who is on the phone is explained by the time we get to chapter 3, and we have no idea who it really is. So many questions.
Does anyone else think Capcom are keeping things so close to their chest that even the Bakers/House are going to be a small part/or something like a quarter of the game ? Maybe it's just me but I just feel that their has to be a lab in their somewhere and that someone is up to no good.

One can hope, I guess... That'd work too.
Hailin' all the way from the Old World, continuing to arm the good fight.
Yeah, like the car denying me a pistol cause I'm a few coins short.

We'll go to the town/city of Dulvey, an industrial plant that I suspect used to be owned by Umbrella, and a lab. There's also some sort of highway segment and a ship that has run aground. We may also go to a church and hospital (where I suspect that lab is) if the docs are any indication.
The Dulvey Plantation where you start out at seems to at least be 5-6 hours of a suspected 14 hour game.
For gamers now days yeah, back then there wasn't a lot of hand holding so it was pretty natural to inspect and explore stuff.
Wesker's virus infused Pet cat Whisker is back and out for revenge.
I'm rather surprised by the lack of talk about the shop.
Why does it exist in the context of the game? Is this plantation as isolated as the village/castle in RE4 where monsters roaming around (without the rest of Louisiana/America/World noticing) is enough for some dude to make a killing off of selling guns? Actually, why would Ethan not go to the authorities after escaping the Bakers?

Maybe that's where the cop shows up in the game, as seen in the reveal trailer.

There's a popular theory right now the local police may be working in tangent with the Bakers or something. In the True Ending of the Beginning Hour demo the guy you play as escapes and informs the police, they investigate the Baker Plantation, but they 'find nothing' (which doesn't make sense as there's literal monsters and all sorts of crazy shit happening there, how the fuck did they find 'nothing'), and then conveniently find LSD on his person and pass it off as nothing. Then in RE7 there's a cop character you meet early in apparently, but he draws the gun on you (before getting killed by Jack Baker). They've also been apparently ignoring missing person reports of over 30 people piling up over the last few years, in the Beginning Hour final update demo there are police-issued documents and missing posters relocated inside the house, and in the RE series we already had the Raccoon City police peeps working with Umbrella. It's not set in stone, but on-top of this they talk about church corruption in Dulvey, Louisiana from this new batch of info, maybe it's not just the church?
Uh, I mean, exploring and inspecting items was, like, a big part of the game's design and progression. If you wanted to beat the games you had to explore and check stuff. From RE2 onwards, the games included an in game manual so there's not really much excuse to avoid reading it, and it always beats you over the head with how important checking items is. As long as you're thorough, like I said, there's really nothing very complicated in any of the games (although I will admit that the water sample puzzle in RE3 is random BS, but that's about it).
It's a game
........................some motherfucker(s) are turning this small town into their own experimental playground......Jesus...
Thank you. Also, yeah, I really don't we're getting anything like the coin puzzle in the main game. Capcom ain't Kojima. I'd go as far as to say that I don't think we would've even gotten something that complicated if it wasn't for FingerGaf and the rest of the RE community obsessing over the demo.
Yeah, I think we're looking at something way bigger than the Baker's, and I'm super happy about that. Ever since RE5 and the tragic death of

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's gonna be a Hot Fuzz situation where everyone is in on it except for the outsider hero character, isn't it ?
Police may not be acting in unison with the Bakers, but it could be a case of "turning a bling eye." We don't fuck with them they don't fuck with us.
The police have to know what's going on with the missing people. Or like you said the whole town is in on it.
I have to think there is a lab somewhere because you have to wonder how these people are infected. This is after RE6 so this is a world with BOW's.

Well... Capcom did a very poor case of showing what RE elements the game has.
I mean, for a strange reason, they thought it was a good idea to avoid showing them and make the game look like a generic "Hide and run" horror game.
Nah. It's actually painfully average and Raid is a dumb mode.

Both of the Revelations games are average if you ask me.
Neither focuses on horror or action, so you get this weird middle ground that isn't satisfying at all. I'd rather have what RE7 doing than half measures.

This is going to be a celebration of the franchise isn't.
That's gonna be great, I wonder who is going to get the honor of getting a cameo, I really want Wesker even though he is KIA.

He's done isnt he?
His sister on the other hand....
Yep, it felt like they were trying to return to horror, but on the way they lost the confidence to step away from the foundation of RE5-6.
Outbreak is just a collection of stories that happened during the Raccoon Outbreak, so whether it was canon or not wasn't a big deal. I always assumed it was. Even which of the playable characters survived was never revealed, as they could die or not die depending on which endings you got.
Alyssa was the best though, so glad to see she's still around.

So what exactly is this game about I honestly can't tell from all the trailers and stuff.
Jawmuncher

On the base surface. If you aren't following the game. Right now the marketing is more or less selling
"Being stuck in a mansion with monsters and crazy people". Which from what we know isn't that far from the truth, though I'm sure the areas open up and there's quite a few surprises in store.
But more or less it is that on the basic level, and gameplay wise being a call back to older RE while still being it's own thing.

Frontrunner is Rebecca Chambers, as she is supposedly appearing in the CGI film releasing around that time.
I expect we'll see more BSAA members as well.
Ethan travels to Dulvey to find his missing wife, Mia. While investigating a residence that turns out to be the Baker's, he is captured. Ethan must escape the Bakers and find out the fate of his wife, all while unraveling the events unfolding in Dulvey.

I think the two Revelations games are worth playing if you're a series fan, but my opinion likes:
Revelations 1: It's okay. Its handheld origins show strongly, it's kind of dull in some parts but does have some stand-out moments I felt. It's lower on my personal ranking of the series, but I do admit I still enjoyed it, and also found Raid Mode to be fun.
Revelations 2: I much prefer it over the original. I'm in the group that loved revelations 2, not my favorite or anything but I consider it a good entry in the franchise. It has some roughness around it as it obviously had a lower budget, but I really liked what they did with it, I liked the story a lot more than I expected, I liked the setting a lot, I liked a number of moments and the boss encounters, and enjoyed the increased survival aspect.

Outbreak is canon. Capcom definitely seems to consider it canon, on account Outbreak has now officially been referenced in both of their most recent 'canon' entries to the series (RE7 & the Heavenly Island manga in Japan (which is canon)).

When you see how the shooting mechanics work, as well as some of the non-Baker family enemies, it starts to look a lot more like RE. The environments alone have a very REmake and RE0 vibe, only in real time, not pre-rendered. Everyone is just getting hung up on the part of the game where you evade the Bakers, which at a glance looks similar to evading enemies like the ones in Outlast. But that's only a small part of the game, and even that part feels similar to past RE games (being pursued at any time by a much stronger monster is similar to going up against Mr. X and Nemesis). Later on, when you acquire pistols, shotguns and flamethrowers and whatnot, the game will have combat. Only it happens to be in first person. But it isn't a FPS at all. Seems like a more apt comparison is Super Metroid going to Metroid Prime and going from classic Silent Hill to PT (which oddly far less people complained about compared to RE7). RE7 will still be a horror adventure game where you solve puzzles and unlock doors while exploring a spooky giant, derelict house, and that's more than you can say about RE5 and 6. I'm happy with the direction they are going. First person perspective is always more effective at being scary to me compared to third person (Outlast and PT are the scariest games I've played) and it's also more compatible with VR, which will be a terrific, possibly even ideal, way to play horror games from here on out.

gonna best honest...as cool as wesker was...bringing him back:
Game is looking... or sounding more and more better on paper. I need to see or better yet feel the game. So far no marketing vids have convinced but these reports are glowing. Really like the map updates from Silent Hil...
Wesker mode unlocks when you complete the game

Haha, kinda true. Remember that it took me almost a year to complete the original RE because I could not figure out the riddle with the books close to the end. You know, the one where you had to examine the books and turn them sideways so you could open them and get the emblems.
Oh... the days before the internet... Wonder how many people actually finished their games back then.
