I'm an old school fan of the Tomb Raider series, I remember pestering my Dad to try the demo in the summer of 96, and in the end he bought the game, and we played it together mostly. I have very fond memories of the original 3 games, even if 2+3 weren't as good as the original [in my opinion anyway]
The games afterwards got progressively bland though, you just felt like you were going through the same motions after a while. I wasn't a fan of The Last Revelation either to be honest. A couple of times I got so far, realised I'd missed a key item somewhere along the lines, and couldn't retrace my steps due to areas becoming impassible, and not having a save game going back as far as I needed to go.
Angel of Darkness was just dire. Less said about it the better.
As for Anniversary, Legend and Underworld, I enjoyed the new gameplay, but didn't think too highly of the plotline. As Susan touched on it, the stuff about dead mothers was kinda meh. Didn't do it for me. I prefered the original canon. Henceforth, I think the movies are crap too >_>
But I'm definately getting this. It looks like wicked fun, and when the online co-op gets added I'll be playing that with one of my best mates!

Also I've always liked the so called 'bad controls', I mean resi don't change there tank system and I'm really glad, the controls give the game character and also make it that tad side more difficult and in consequence add to the tension of the game.
I love the Resident Evil control style, it was another game I played with my father when I was a kid. To this day I still enjoy playing the originals on my PSX. Although I am a general die hard Resident Evil fan anyway heh.
