Course it is. if zombies are picking things up they arent zombies. The trailer showed zombies, but if they start picking pipes up im not bothering. I already want to skip this new guy that young people relate to (shouldnt it be someone acting black, listening to rap and trying to stab someone? Thats the youth of today in england put it that way) because im not intrested in any hand to hand combat. fDesnt belong in a survival horror series. Its as bad as Alice boxing with that thing they want to call Nemesis in the abomination of a movie series.
Chris looks ok, but again its cover system and shoot em up. i dont bloody want a half arsed gears of war crap copy. I just want a survival horror game. Leon's looks ace should they not wield axes and crap. But if thats only a 3rd of a game, i aint shifting through 6 hours of crap i dont want from a resi game just for the 3 hours of leon which I want. Ether make a game the same all the way through, or dont bother because if it ends up switching characters, the atmosphere from Leon is gone when im playing Chris or whatevers Gears/Tekken crap.
Capcom dont want to appeal to everyone, they want to sell the game in 3 segments to people who want different things. Theyll sell it to original fans through leon which i bet will be 3 hour max, gears of war/shoot em up crew fir Chris' 3 hours. Im not buying a game for 3 hours of gameplay and atmosphere that I want. Chris' story looks interesting, but its more of the same from RE4 and RE5, and I just dont want that crap.
Revelations was ace bar the Ooze enemies and making hunters invisible, which is just pure stupid and really p*ss poor. Replace em with crimson heads and hunters which can match to their enviroment like chameleons for example and voilla problem solved.
Theres only Dead Space which is survival horror now, that handles action perfectly and still makes it a struggle to survive with brilliant atmosphere and to be honest, a miles better story compared to 4 and 5.
