Why the hell am I doing this? Most people are loving the remake of the original, and are looking forward in anticipation to RE0. I was also bored. So in case anyone didn't know any of the information here, I thought I'd put it up.
**SPOILERS**
This may contain spoilers, maybe not many, but still some. Not just from RE0, but also some from RE1. You have been warned...
Setting - set just before Resident Evil 1. One day, in fact. The Bravo Team of STARS have been sent in to investigate the strange murders in the area. Perhaps the Official Capcom page can explain it better than I can:
"Something terrible is seeping into the once pristine mountain air. The residents of Raccoon City go about their lives unaware of the dark fate that surrounds them. It’s only the beginning! Sent in to investigate a series of grisly murders in the area, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team scrambles into action. On the way to the scene, Bravo’s helicopter crashes. Although everyone survives, what they discover next is a gruesome site. An overturned military transport truck, riddled with corpses. Rookie member Rebecca Chambers is beginning to wonder what she got herself into. Bravo team is about to discover the evil nightmare that is growing all around them. "
The team get split up and Rebecca finds her way onto the train, known as the "Eclipse Express".
No other story details are certain, although I reckon the end of this game could also tie in with the end of the first game. It would be a bit stupid to end the game before the mansion has been dealt with, don't you think?
Characters:
Rebecca Chambers - STARS Bravo Team member, and medic for the whole crew. She's a young girl (18), fairly new and wet behidn the ears. She is also one of the main characters in this game.
Billy Coen - Another main character, this guy has just escaped from prison for a crime that he may or may not be guilty of. He is a former marine that was convicted of murdering 26 men, and while he was being transported there was an incident with the van, likely to involve zombies.
Mysterious Man - nothing is known about him. He wears a white robe and that's about all we know.
Albert Wesker - smooth talking back stabber from Resident Evil 1. We're not sure how he is involved in the storyline, but he's been working for Umbrella since 1967 (Wesker's Report).
William Birkin - genius scientist, also working for Umbrella since 1967 with Wesker. Injected himself with the G-virus in Resi 2 to stop the SWAT team getting his precious virus.
New features:
Character zapping - the two main characters (Rebecca and Billy) can be swapped between easily by pressing the Z button. There will be some areas that one character can't get to, you'll need to exchange items between the two and puzzles will involve using both characters. When one character is not being used it will be controlled by artificial intelligence, and you'll get a bleep over the radio when they're in danger. If one character dies it's game over. This should make a worthy addition to the series and create even more tension.
Item dropping - the item boxes that for some reason are all connected will be gone, replaced by a system where you just have to drop items on the floor instead. This will make for some easier moments and some harder moments, and will probably mean less running backwards and forwards because you forgot the damn crank.
Enemies:
Zombies - fairly obvious really. It just wouldn't be a Resident Evil without them. You should know what to expect by now; stumbling idiots who can infect you by biting. Some will probably puke acid. Also there are no crimson heads, as they say you won't visit the same areas a lot, and so it would be pointless to have them.
Leeches - little things that grab on and suck your blood. They most probably will have the power to poison. They'll be like the little snakes in all probability.
Dogs - no confirmation as yet, although they'll probably appear in a part of the game set outside.
Crows - you know what these guys are. They're okay for a few seconds, then they try to peck you to death.
Frogs - yes, simply giant frogs. About the size of hunters from the first game. They definitely have a shooting tongue attack, and are likely to have a jumping slap attack. Think a hybrid of hunters and lickers.
Scorpion - one of the known bosses. It's a huge scorpion, filling one of the carriages of the Eclipse Express. It has a huge tail (for a sting attack), and enormous claws (for a deadly slicing attack).
Centipede - another known boss. About the size of YAWN, the giant snake from RE1, although not quite as scary (I mean, a centipede - get a jar). Attacks are likely to be a bite attack and maybe a crush attack. I can't see it being very difficult.
Weapons:
None are confirmed, although there's bound to be a handgun, a knife, a shotgun, and the trademark infinite ammo rocket launcher if you complete it in under a certain time. Probably some extra costumes as well.
Well, that's it. Hope it helped :)

Oh my god, I've just had a great though:
What if, they made a Res Evil game, based on Metal Gear Solids controls, camera angles, etc.
THAT. WOULD. ROCK.
Just think, peeking round the corner in the mansion, to look at a zombie staring blankly at erm...a picture.
That would be great though. Admit it. Or I'll break yo' face ya'll.

If you do get to play as him it'll only be for a short while, but I'm 90% sure this won't happen. Why? Well, he looks like someone who isn't on your side for a start. Second, there isn't one screenshot of him anywhere, only art. Third, there are already two playable characters who can be switched between at any time, so why would a third be necessary? ie, in RE2 Sherry could fit through a hole I think. If one chacater gets into a sticky situation you get the other on to bail them out. If you don't believe me then check out any reputable Res Evil website and see what they say.
Anyhoo, more new areas. Including one that has a rather large device that looks like some kind of telescope or laser. Very interesting, but the others aren't much good. See for yourself:

If your talking about what NGC say, then they definatly mean 'whitey' as the mysterious man who looks like a priest, so If they've said you play as whitey then you do play as him.
It will probably be like in Code Veronica with Steve (I think), he's with Claire for most of the game and you get to control him and have Claire following him for a little while.

yeah but arent the zombies the baddies? maybe he's rebecca's father (just listening to starwarz and it came out for some reason)
Because they've said that the two major characters are Rebecca and Billy. There are millions of screenshots of them, and only art of the other fella. I've seen the inventory screen, and it has only two people on it - Rebecca and Billy. For all I know he might be playable for a small section, like Ada and Sherry from Resi 2, but he definitely isn't a main playable character. And don't you think he looks more like an enemy?
