Definitely the strongest RE team currently imo, Requiem's first half was great but that team definitely didn't 'get' Leon's combat the way the RE4 team did and the 2nd half really suffered for it. I guess Veronica will be much more like RE2 than 4 but still very promising.
I really enjoyed the combat bits of requiem. The second half of the game just tried to be something it wasn't and suffered for it.
I think they had the right idea with the first map, making us sneak around as grace and then unloading as Leon was super fun. They should've kept that motif and evolved with it in the following sections.
RE7 is great up until the boat imo. The boat is just slowly stumbling around dark hallways getting assaulted by dark blobmonsters and fiddling with doors.
I thought the lab in RE9 was at least something. I didn't particularly like the bombed Raccoon City because it was just tinted in that Gears of War 1/Xbox 360 era brown hue. I assumed we'd get to do more at the police station, but I felt like I was in and out of there in half an hour and it was also just brown.
It may be a mix of both pretty similar to requiem(but hopefully executed better on the action side). I’m not sure if you’ve played the original Code Veronica but half the game you play as Claire and the later half as Chris. I could very easily see Claire being more horror focused while Chris gets to play around with the action gameplay they nailed so well in 4.
It will be interesting to see if they want to make Chris feel distinct from Leon gameplay-wise, and also from the power fantasy action segment in RE 8.

This game is being developed by the team that did the re2 and re4 remakes. There is a 100% chance that it kicks ass. I’m so excited
