Chances are i wont even get the game if leon is the main character. I didnt like RE4, and I dont like Leon. Ada wong was a ok character, but leon (f$gg haircut,wtf). I would like to see entirely new characters with there own stories. if claire was in the next game i would still play it. I dont want to see chris, Jill, or Sheva as main characters. Maybe have Chris play as a josh stone like character (non-playable bot). But otherwise I want to see new characters.

I want to see the t-virus again with suspense and horror please. There should be a bad-ass male character like chris, like a magnum toting all speciality gunslinger. the other player chould be a female demolitions and sniper specialist(would be pretty cool if you have to play as the second character).

Would be cool if the gameplay and controls was more like cod-mw2 third person gameplay (i know the game sucks now, but the third person was fun and fast action, would make it a lot easier to turn around and shoot while running).

Mix would be the best.

Damn, your serious even though this was talked about in other threads, that would push Resident Evil so far away survival horror it would probably be unrecognizable.

Definitely agreeing with what CVX said. No more Leon/Claire, Leon/Ada Chris/Jill or Chris/Claire.
I would like to see some serious mix-ups - Claire & Jill, Jill & Ada, Leon/Jill Leon/Chris, Chris/Ada...

I'd like a whole new cast of characters, since Chris' story is complete now that RE5 has ended. Every game comes back to Chris and Wesker, either directly or indirectly, and now that the story has been resolved, there's nothing new that can be done with it, from an arc progression point of view (which is integral to storytelling). I'd like a return to the horror roots; and the best way of doing so is to introduce something new, happening to new people. It would allow us to connect with the characters and follow along into the unknown and once again be scared of what we find out. Obvious tie-ins can be made, maybe even cameos, but the meat of it should be something new and to be honest, I think we can safely 'retire' the original group of main characters, to make way for new blood.

I say Leon/Jill/Claire in a game. Chris is boring. Kill Ada off; force Leon to kill her in a situation where he has no other choice. It'll give his character far more depth. No more Sheva, either; her story is done. Introducing new characters is fine, but make them have mostly side roles (e.g. Luis, Krauser); don't make them playable (e.g. Sheva). I don't know about you guys, but I want to play as classic characters, not "character-of-the-game" characters.

A mix would be nice. But as long as it is a great game with a good story i'll get it no matter who's in it.

And if it sucks....chances are i still may get it.

Oh yeah, online co-op play is a plus.

As long as it's not for the main story and limited to bonus games, fine by me. It ruined RE5 for me...

I think a mix would be good for players like me who have only done the 5th game.As long as they keep the characteristics of the old school cast.

I say to hell with all the established characters, have RE6 start with brand new characters and have the old ones die off. There needs to be a good shake-up ... So says Mr. Stewart

I know it would never happen, but I think it would be cool if they reintroduced some of the Outbreak cast. I think all eight of those characters had a lot of depth (some even more than the main characters), and it would be interesting to know what happened to them after the Raccoon incident. I think Capcom had a lot of potential with some of those characters, and they wasted it by not continuing the series.

One thing is for sure - if the series continues down the BSAA path, say goodbye to RE as we know it. The BSAA is an organization armed to the teeth with all sorts of weapons, meaning "survival horror" will no longer exist. It didn't in RE5, that's for sure. The series will turn into COD, where Chris, Jill, and other random BSAA members will be involved in massive shootouts with the next flavor of Plaga-infected enemies wielding assault rifles. Do any of us want that?

Besides, isn't anyone sick to death of Chris and even Jill already?! They already ruined Jill's character with the damn space suit and Chris has always been pretty boring. If I had to pick a reasonable character who I would want to see as RE6's protagonist, it'd have to be Claire. For the action junkies, she's already proven she could kick ass in Code Veronica...
