Honestly at this point I'm up for whatever. I liked the first handful of Resident Evils, but I couldn't even finish 6 with how ridiculous it was. Would be cool to have a handful of smaller titles in the universe exploring different things. And with Allison Road canceled this might fill the hole for me.
6's combat was actually good
sold very well
and they made two really good RE's after that
When I can lay myself on the floor and roll through a ton of the levels knifing zombies in the legs, or just kicking them, I don't think the combat is well-designed.
And didn't the game fall short of their expectations and previous RE's?
Revelations 2 was fine. Heck I would love it if they went back to more survival horror routes. But this looks fine too, because it looks tense and atmospheric which I'd prefer to "Oh look this mineshaft is collapsing lets barely escape while killing a million zombies and some random phoenix girl."
