The trailer actually looked better than I thought. It seemed to be offering up the play style of 4 for Leon's levels, something closer to 5 meets Gears with Chris' levels, and who know's what's going on with the new guy aside from the Ashley like chick. Also the classic shambling zombie seemed to be present in some scenes, which is pretty much what I want to see more or.
Honestly I'm only really excited about how Leon's game looked as well, but so long as they don't force a retarded AI partner and give me back the suitcase of 4 then I'll probably be up for this game, however if I find out that's not the case I will rapidly loose interest.
You know, ever since they released 4, which I bought at launch and have repurchased many times (I'd love to buy it on PSN, but until they add the all too obvious Move support I'm going to boycott it, as I'm a Move owner who feels like I shouldn't have bought what they're clearly turning into a short-lived gimmick), I've wanted them to create a branch off series that plays like the old school games only with clever updates. While I love 4 and it's system, I really miss the cinematic camera angles, tight corridors, and shambling, relentless, corpses of the old school games.
Instead we get a series of on-rail shooters...
Basically: the original Evil took a lot of influence from Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, which was great, I mean they still remain the best Zombie films of all time for a reason... I feel like modern Evil is taking it's cues from the Resident Evil movies, which is just fucking stupid as those movies suck. Like really really suck. If you disagree, then clearly didn't play Resident Evil 3, let me tell you it took a lot more than a supermodel to take out Nemesis, and the only reason Alice is so important in the movies is she's fucking the director, which by the way is how she gets most of her staring roles, including the Fifth Element...
Basically: I used to love this series, and it reached a beautiful peak on the Gamecube with REmake and 4, but now it's sort of just embarrassing to call myself a Resident Evil fan...
