Re: RE4 Preview
I actually don't think ditching zombies is that big a deal... Obviously these guys are sorta like zombies, but since they're not real undead zombies they can bend the rules a bit (kinda like how in 28 days later, they weren't really zombies, they were infected with RAGE)... Making them stronger, smarter, faster, etc...
And although the basis of RE's storyline had to do with viruses that turned people into zombies, the zombies were really the least of your worries in the game... not much of a threat unless you were surrounded or out of ammo...
And I'm kinda steal this from IGN, but what sounds more scary to you, lightning flashing and seeing 1 or 2 zombies off in the distance, or seeing a couple torches heading towards you, then lightning flashing and revealing that there is a nice-sized group of weird-azz villagers heading (faster than zombies would be) towards you with knives and crap...
Though one thing I think is stupid in the trailer is when a villager grabs Leon and shakes him... What the hell is that gonna do?
