From what I remember, there was a fair bit of running around the streets, from location to location. Don't get me wrong, I think it'll still be a GOOD game and I'm looking forward to it, but I can't see it being quite as special as 2.

It looks like there will be more of a focus on exploration this time around, from what I've heard, the areas are more open in how you approach objectives which is interesting.

It does seem like they're taking a more action fuelled approach but then again RE3 was far more action heavy than it's predecessors so it fits.

I think as long as it plays close to RE2 while forging it's own identity, it'll be pretty damn great. RE2's remake was damn close to being a perfect game to me.
