One thing I noticed while watching the subway demo is that they've now separated item pickups from context sensitive actions on the controller. At least when you have two in close proximity, anyway.

In Resident Evil 4 and 5, if there was an item right next to, say, a ladder, you would have to pick up the item before you could climb the ladder (unless you somehow managed to finagle your way in between the two and change the button prompt). Now, you pick up the item with the Square button (presumably X on the 360 controller), and press the X button (A on 360) to perform the context sensitive action.

You see this when Leon is by the ledge next to the train car. There's a box of ammo lying next to the ledge, and when Leon approaches it, he can pick it up with Square or climb the ledge with X.

While smooth, I'll take i-frames over differentiation. Both would be best.
