Leon's one liners are all completely horrible, but they are horrible in an entertaining way. He's just so earnest in his attempts to be a badass action hero.

leon's quips were terrible but that didn't matter thanks to the endless comedy of his daily life. just wrecked vehicles and ada stringing him along all day every day.
I'm so glad someone else has noticed Leon's terrible record with vehicles; planes, trains and automobiles, all get destroyed one way or another once Mr. Scott Kennedy enters the vicinity, whether or not he's at the controls. Ada notices as much in RE4 if you check the destroyed bulldozer during Separate Ways.

I like how Leon's first instinct when initially meeting with Bitores "Big Cheese" Mendez was to try and loving kick him. Sure Leon, go ahead, get into a melee brawl with the unnaturally pale 8ft bald guy. It's not like the last death-toned chrome-headed giant in a longcoat you met wasn't a hulking behemoth of mutated teeth and claws underneath or anything like that.

I'm amazed that Leon even survives his missions with an approach like that, never mind accomplishes them (although it could be argued that Ada is a fairly important factor in the former).

The best part is that Mendez completely thrashes Leon 3 times out of 4 encounters. Storywise he's actually the one who gave Leon the most trouble and came the closest to stopping him.

Not really.

First time -- Nope. Not even plaga'd before this.
Second time -- Yep, but with a warning that next time Leon misbehaves he'll just kill him regardless.
Third time -- Nope, Ada saves him here.
Fourth time -- Well, we all know what happens here.

Mendez is basically the huge henchmen that gets the hero in an inescapable chokehold and just as the hero is about to pass out the bad guy throws him across the room for no or a poor reason, allowing them to fight for real/escape.

Well, the ESRB rating for Resident Evil 7 leaked. I'll link it so you don't get spoilers.
Here you go.

If you were worried about there being no combat it looks like we'll be getting pistols, shotguns, grenades, flamethrower, and a chainsaw. It never really occurred to me they've done three games in a row with chainsaw wielding mid-bosses and never actually made that a weapon available to the player.

But the demo didn't have any of those things! I refuse to believe the full game has combat because a 45 minute long demo didn't. That's just Crapcom blowing smoke up our asses.

Another character? A cutscene from the wife's pov? Maybe a mysterious tape shows up at the husband's and that's how he knows where to look?

I'm not saying buy into hype but come on. Not everything is going to be No Man's Sky.

You can check the ESRB website to see stuff they rated. RE7 isn't there so either it was up or pulled or that is fake.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is real though.

It's a false flag operation. Capcom had them rate a fake game and then after that leaked they resubmitted RE7 with no combat that way people buy it expecting one thing and get another.

It was a 'videotape level' which I'd guess are ones that are just random people in random places trying to survive. I wouldn't be surprised if they focused most of the horror parts into those and the main game was more action-heavy.

Sounds a bit like the memories in janky Euro-FPS Cryostasis, weird visual effects and all. Actually that game was really atmospheric so not a bad source for inspiration.

If the next RE had the melee from 5 and the controls from 6 i'd be happy, though that would make the characters pretty OP.

The station already gets restocked with zombies, though this happens when you're pretty close to being done with RPD anyway.

I wonder if they'll make the BOW gas do anything useful in the remake.

I hope they at least put in a better reward in that laboratory vault that required you to register finger prints for both Clair and Leon to open.

In the original all I think that was in there was a machine gun clip or something equally useless.

Wait, what did 5's melee have that 6's didn't have? Aside from the fact that you're restricted by your stamina, 6's melee is better and more useful in all situations than 5's melee. I especially found myself missing the ability to counter enemy melee attacks when I went back to 5.

RE5's melee was waaay more intuitive and the characters had more attacks, though granted Chris and Sheva had weak movesets overall. The kneecap shots into melee moves, or the shoulder shots into melee are not present in RE6. With 6 it's counterattack or headshot, basically.

They don't have unique animations, but shooting an enemy in the leg can make him kneel for a knockdown attack just like if he's been hit by a flash grenade, and if you shoot a zombie in the arm he'll turn around so you can do the 'stealth' finisher on him. Aside from that, you have the dash attack, the back attack, the slide, multiple contextual melee attacks both when enemies are stunned and when they're not, including being near a ledge and holding weapons/having weapons imbedded in them, variants of these depending on what firearm or melee weapon you're using... I could go on.

EDIT: I'll definitely give you 5's being more intuitive, though.

He makes fun of Jessica a bit in the snow-cave level in Revelations, and he's in a pretty good mood when he finds Claire in CV.
