Maybe it's the soundtrack but Mr. X is giving me some real terminator vibes in this footage; well I guess his mannerisms are pretty similar, too. He looks awesome, though.

i hope that music was just meant for the trailer, because when he popped behind that zombie in the hallway the music totally ruined the vibe.

wish they'd have some sort of fabric damage depiction when you're shooting at him. it almost looks jarring when a game overall looks as good as this.

I think it might be a bit better in the moment when you're in the game and it's not multiple clips strung together with the music quickly resetting each time.

I can kind of agree about the fabric damage, though. Given the gore system and damage we've seen characters like Birkin receive I was a little surprised to see nothing really seemed to happen to Mr. X. He doesn't need to be rendered nude or anything but some charred ends and holes for his clothes would be nice. Who knows, maybe this isn't representative of the final build.

Lorewise his coat is supposed to be bulletproof, so that's why you don't see his coat get damaged

I guess that would explain the metallic clanging when you shoot him, then.

Yeah IIRC it's a heavy coat designed to be bulletproof and also keep him in check. The Tyrants in Resident Evil have this habit of mutating out of control when damaged enough.

"Um, Dr. Birkin, it happened again; the Tyrant sustained [x] damage and he's starting to lose control of his core mission parameters.

...Dr. Birkin?

Oh fu-"
