Resident Evil 6 - Watch 20 minutes of new Leon gameplay

Though it'd had some closed door showings, Resident Evil 6 had its big playable debut at E3 2012 this year. As we detailed in our E3 preview (Resident Evil 6 Hands-on preview – Three times the tension) Capcom had three separate demos on hand, one starring each of the three stars and their co-op partner. Capcom is still keeping the Chris Redfield and Wesker Jr scenes to themselves, but today they did release a video of the entire Leon demo that was on the show floor. As you'll see below, the Leon section was the most retro flavored portion of the demos, with dark corridors, hostages to save and shambling undead lurking in the shadows. The gameplay is a slow burn, but definitely worth watching. Check it out...

Recently the Resident Evil 6 release date moved up a month earlier to October 2, making it one of the first big releases of an incredibly packed month of major games.
