I wonder if this will be the return to RE roots game Cashcom has been promising. I refrain from any hope until I play it. But hey Evil Within is coming out soon. and that boys and girls I am excited for.

Revelations was pretty fun but Capcom has shown that they don't like Resident Evil anymore so I worry about this one.

I loved the environment and pacing of RE:Revelations and wish that continues to the sequel. Also bummed about the lack of Wii U support as the scanner would have been awesome if enhanced for motion and more detailed like having data entries a la Metroid Prime.

Much as I did enjoy it as a standalone release, it's also been an end-game add-on in many of the games. Better it stay that way then getting charged full game price for something using all the assets of the series just slightly rearranged.

Good point. I think I have a soft spot for RE Mercs 3D because there was a time in the early life of the 3DS where that was pretty much all I was playing...which kinda made me look past whether the content was really worth $40 at the time

Cool looking teaser, like a page out of Deep Silver's book. I enjoyed the first one (pacing, character design, environments...but story was kind of a mess), in fact certain aspects of it felt more like the original RE, including genuinely tense moments. To that end, I'm pretty excited to get the e-capcom Biohazard HD Remaster coming out in November. I recently felt like playing the remake on GC again, and then found out about the Remaster in 1080P with re-tooled assets. Anyway, there's some good looking RE games on the horizon!

Revelations was pretty good for what it was but I still liked RE5 and RE6 WAY more.
Hopefully Revelations 2 plays more like RE6.

Resident Evil.
Story.
Come on, dude.
Also, I don't want Revelations 2 to play like 6. It was the perfect evolution of the 4 engine, and was all the series ever needed,.
I'll be happy to play Resident Evil 7 with an enhanced 6 engine, but let Revelations continue to utilize the engine it already has.
Another thing: I think this is a return to Survival Horror for the series.
Releasing an enhanced port of REmake on major platforms, and now this game being a sequel to a Survivor Horror game rather than a pure action title indicate to me that Capcom is content to let Dead Rising be their action zombie franchise.

I'm hoping they go back to Survival Horror. Revelations was good but not great. It had a lot of room for improvement. I felt all the B.O.W.s were to similar. I want that old RE2 era feel. Not necessarily that game play but that atmosphere. And please god no more quickly cobbled together way too easy puzzles.

Actually looking forward to this... albeit tentatively. I still feel robbed of trust with Capcom following RE6, I'm afraid.
I liked Revelations, it was good, but not great. I'd put it on a par with RE5, and obviously streets head of RE6. I've always said RE5 could have been an awesome game if it had not been for the enforced co-op play/Shevas piss poor AI.
I sincerely hope Capcom decide to abandon main game Co-op for RE:R2... Tank controls and one player goodness ftw!!!

I thought the story for the first few games was interesting, especially when going through the Wesker report/files. The lore that was created for the series was dark, mysterious, and - at least for me - had me wanting to find out what was going on beyond just surviving. So, ya, the story is a pretty big motivator on whether or not more RE games are worth playing.

RE1 and RE2 stories were good as they were in their games IMO (especially for their time), but all references and revisiting in later games that tried to elaborate more on the events were terrible (again, IMO).
One thing I miss in the new games is the lack of elaboration on the backgrounds. In the first 2 or 3 games, you could press the action button on almost anything and read a description of the scene from the character's point of view. Revelations did a decent job in that regard.
I also once read someone replying to an RE6 article saying "less monsters in screen, make each encounter memorable". I agree with that.
PS: One of the games that carried the tradition of detailed backgrounds and implemented it heavily was Parasite Eve 2.

Seriously. Also,

That game is a ton of fun. So long as you understand you're buying "Minigame: The Game" you're golden. Also, I'm pretty sure it's on sale (Along with Revelations) for 8 bucks right now on the eShop, for those who don't have em.

My exact thoughts in one sentence. Unfortunately Capcom is too busy making money off of DLC to spend the time to make a legit RE how it should be.
