Impressions:
*Resident Evil 4-5 meets Gears of War.
*Ashley returns with shorter hair.
*Leon returns with a double chin.
*Chris returns to realistic proportions.
Leon's 3rd Game, Chris' 3rd Game, but they're gonna have to dig up a new villain since Wesker bit it in RE5. Perhaps the fabled return of Steve Burnside from Code Veronica?
Also, Capcom went out of their way to write up the "global anti-bioterrorism / BSAA" storyline, but so far we've only seen the Leon/Ada and Chris/Jill matchups from RE History. You'd think they'd at least show us what Rebecca Chambers, Claire Redfield, or even Barry Burton have been up to (are they supporting the BSAA? Raising kids at home? Dead?)
For those keeping score at home, as far as I know, the official canon is:
Resident Evil 0: Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen survive.
Resident Evil 1: Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers, Brad Vickers, and Albert Wesker survive.
Resident Evil 2: Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, and Sherry Birkin survive. Brad Vickers dies.
Resident Evil 3: Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira survive. Barry Burton rescues them.
Resident Evil CV: Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Albert Wesker survive. Steve Burnside dies?
Resident Evil 4: Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, and Ashley Graham survive.
Resident Evil 5: Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Sheva Alomar survive. Albert Wesker dies.
Resident Evil 6: Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, and Ashley Graham return.
