I don't think the logo tells us much. Capcom seemed done with the RE4/5 engine from how they talked about this. I imagine it'll resemble Revelations on 3DS, back to survival horror with more freedom of movement.
Kinda getting tired of Resident Evil, tbh. It used to be great, but now with so many spinoffs and bullshit plot twists, I find the series to be...well, stale. They need some fresh ideas, and a generous infusion of actual horror. In other words, Dead Space ftw.
Used to be really into the RE series before 4, still havent even played RE5 even though I was lent it by a friend about four months ago so I'm not really as excited by this news as I would like to be

If you really wanna get technical, there's never been zombies in RE. Only a virus that at first corroded their brains and bodies, but through development has advanced them to more intelligent beings. And by intelligent I mean organized. Because clearly Wesker was never able to figure out how to advance the virus to defend against ROCKET LAUNCHERS. FOR EVERY FUCKING GAME!!!! Still, you're not going to nor did you ever get zombies. So just enjoy the most dangerous form of AIDS attacking you in every RE game. I'm kinda anxious myself to see what'll surpass the Super AIDS (Uroboros)
Alot of ppl hate 4 and 5, but I think at the time, RE needed more interactive games. Both 4 and 5 had great stories in them and advanced the gameplay more. Not to mention, gave the franchise a different look and feel.
I do admit I loved the actual zombies and mutated creatures in RE1, RE2, RE3, and RE:Code Veronica. And the puzzles featured in them were awesome.
But what I want is a combination of the two game types. Having elements of all the games would be a perfect game to me. RE6 will definately be on my to watch list for the TGS...
Honestly, unless RE6 introduces new characters the series will never be scary. Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon, Rebecca, Barry, and I guess Sheva are basically superheroes. I don't mind them headlining action games with horror elements.
The co-op feature was a cool addition. Having it improved the gameplay, not hurt it. Maybe with the AI it sucked, but with friends it makes the game more awesome.
Gotta say, I didn't enjoy RE5. It felt like a monotonous chore by the end, the story sucked balls and the atmosphere was lacking.
The series could take some lessons from the original Dead Space (and to a lesser extent, the sequel), which had the perfect amount of tension and suspense for a survival-horror game.
RE is like frollicking in a sunny wheatfield after playing Dead Space. Series needs to really crank up the horror if it wants to be as scary as DS. They are more action games than survival horror at this point.
I think the reason RE has fizzled out is b/c they focus more on story and less on horror. The first game had the perfect balance of the two. Of course, nothing ever lives up to the original. Plus, getting away from the zombies and leaning more for infected villiagers isn't a great idea.
I would still love for them to re-boot RE:1 (again I know!) but as RE:4 gameplay, would love to be back in the mansion with an over the shoulder camera shot

Capcom is claiming RE 6 will be the scariest game in entire the series and possibly the scariest game in the horror/zombie genre for games.
Also someone figured out the coordinates shown means the game takes place in Canada.
