Well, based off the title, yes, this is a rant thread.
Okay, as much as how amazing the new trailer looked for RE6, and that Chris and Leon would feature as both the heroes in this game along with a new character, I'm really disappointed in a way that they've reused the two characters for for the latest game in the franchise. I mean, Chris was there for RE1, RE:CV, RER and even the more recent (in accordance to game timeline) RE5. Leon was in RE2 and RE4, and also got an additional role for DC with the Operation Javier.
But the big question is, what happened to the others? We haven't heard from Claire since Code Veronica. Rebecca hasn't been heard... AT ALL, since, I think, RE3? Barry. Well, damn. He's missing. Carlos, though apparently not really a major character, missing too. Probably even Billy. Jill is a good candidate to be in the game as well, since the only recent appearance she had is in RER, but they didn't even hint anything at all for her appearance. HUNK also, though not exactly heroic in terms, but at least would make an appearance, story wise.
But anyway, Chris and Leon already had the spotlight too many times. Wouldn't it have been great to have other characters to reprise the roles of the hero/heroine, along with a new character that can be introduced?
I'm not hating on Chris and Leon at all. It's just that... the developers aren't thinking out of the sake of the storyline - they only want to place familiar characters to keep recycling character models and appeal to those who've only been exposed to RE for RE4 and RE5, respectively.
But I guess I can't really do anything about their character selection. I'm just crossing my fingers real hard that many characters would at least make an appearance so we can at least find out what they've been doing these past years.
End of rant. =/
