Operation Raccoon City Latest screenshots and artwork

I think it seems like Capcom are trying to hard to reach out to the more mainstream audience and are sacrificing alot of what made Resident Evil so great to me :/

I'll reserve judgement until more details are released however.

You summed up my thoughts exactly.
 
Creepiness can be achieved without the camera angles. Dead Space has proven that. We'd have to go back to the old third-person shooter functions for the classic camera angles to work -though they would be nice for a change of pace.
Mainstream prefers the over-the-shoulder, however, and Capcom first and foremost is about the money. Games have become big a way they never anticipated when they made the series. It'll die if it caters to much to hardcore fans such as ourselves. They have to make survival horror appealing to general audiences to go back to what made Resident Evil Resident Evil. Since most of the gamers (let's be realistic) are rambunctious pre-teens who get their parents to unwittingly buy them games they have no business playing -survival horror doesn't appeal to most of them compared to action games like Halo or Left 4 Dead. Aside from that, there's also just an overwhelming amount of gamers who're only interested in shooters and MMORPG's. Not many gamers even play the classic genres anymore. Racing, fighting, RPG's, etc. don't have anywhere near the numbers first-person shooters and action games have now. People played Dead Space 2 for about a month, beat it, and went back to Halo. For whatever reason survival horror just isn't big anymore. Capcom has a big challenge ahead of it if it wants to change that.

I love what you're saying here. But one thing I would like to point out is, hardcore fans of the game(the real ones who are more towards the originals) actually like the over the shoulder shooting. Like me, for example. I've been a fan since I was 3 (I'm 14 now, I started with 3 and CVX) and I really want the new ones to be over the shoulder. I actually think they should remake 2-CVX (reREmake and remake the Outbreaks).

I feel the same way...
 
So long as they KEEP zombies in the series I'm happy. This younger generation of punks can't tell the difference between a zombie or a ganado because they didn't grow up with the orignals. Now that an re with zombies is coming out that might let them know the difference. And the story looks very interesting. Oh and we finally get to see it from Umbrella's point of view we get to see their intents more clearly more on why they did twisted things. i think this will be a great game. Oh and the lickers aren't puny (screw you 5, darkside, and umbrella chronicles) Their lickers were horribly done to small, not aggresive enough. The only RE game that did lickers right was 2. I'm phsycked. I want this game. You think Nemesis will stalk us and Mr X stalk us too? Both are confirmed....... Nemesis back for another try cuz your last try sucked (Umbrella chronicles)

Feel the same. 5 was possibly the most hated RE game. I think 4 was my favorite, but I'm not one of the new gen fans. I literally grew up with this game. I played 1 when I was 3, then CVX when I was 4, 3 when I was 7, and 2 a couple months ago. 4 I played when I was 8, and I'm still playing it. I just hope they bring back zombies. (By the way, doesn't look like that's happening in Revelations :( )

Really? Cuz when I looked at the trailers, the only monster Jill were fighting looked like different B.O.W.'s. But if so, I'm soooo glad! :D (I'm also glad we have another game where Jill is the main, or at least one of the main playable characters)

The trailers have only shown ONE creature dude...you know theres gonna be more than just that lol...what sh-ty RE game would only have ONE BOW lol...na zombies are commin back...
 
It's good to see they brought back the Hunters... Or you could be really old school and call them "Head Hunters" haha Considering that's there signature move, to cut your head off and just stand next to your body.. ..they Purr like cats... I'm quite confused now, Fear you cant forget.. It still sends a chill down my spine thinking about the noises they make...

You would walk through a door.. pause the game turn the volume up and listen.. And whatever you heard, you know that's what's round the corner waiting for ya!! haha.
 
The game looks great so far. I've been playing RE since I was 5 (Well, watching people play it) and I have played almost all of the games. As long as this isn't the new standard gameplay for RE games it's fine. I don't think it will be though, this game isn't meant to be survival horror, I'ts more like socom with zombies added in it. Even then, the emphasis of the game is to fight the US Special services, not zombies.
