I've never played a RE game but I was very close to buying RE4 but chose not to because I figured the ****ty controls might just ruin the entire game for me. This game didn't really seem to have much, if any story that other RE games have - such as Umbrella Corps or anything like that. Looked like some side story that mattered none to the overall plot of RE but was still in the RE universe. It looks like a good game but I'm bitch when it comes to horror games so I'm not getting it, especially if it doesn't have the story that intrigued me in RE with umbrella corps and all that. I got Outlast for free on XB1, I started playing it and ended up quitting after about 20 minutes cause it was too ****ing dark and scary.
