I honestly enjoyed the demo of RE6, it 's a mix of RE4 and RE5. I am digging the new control mechanics, quick shots, melee, rolling left/right, shooting from the ground ---- this raises the bar for 3rd-person-shooters.
Good article Eric, I feel the same way on alot of your issues, there is an interview with film maker Robert Rodriguez where he states as a creative you want to work at the speed of thought and have the tools to do so.
