Rather than the path of the original REmake, this appears to take the game to the over-the-shoulder perspective of RE4, though there will also apparently be options for a classic fixed camera mode.
And while I got many chuckles out of the overblown brouhaha that was "THAT'S NOT THE REAL CHRIS" in RE7, young Leon does look a little bit... weird. Maybe just because it's tough to take the bishie pretty boy and roll him back to an approximation of his PS1 look.
