Not linking to the source for the pics because NGG will throw a fit. But anyway, I've followed NewsBot for a few years and this guy knows his stuff; he's got reliable hook ups, regularly does interview with old RE staff and collectively knows more about the franchise than any single person who's ever worked on it.
Anyway, his hints are intriguing:
-Game WILL be at E3
-His winking face at "certain" fans being happy lends me to believe this won't be 20 Michael Bay movies stitched together like RE6 was. Honestly at this point I'll just settle for another thoughtfully produced, fully cohesive game with strong pacing. It doesn't even have to be a full return-to-roots thing (impossible as it is anyway). Also, since it's going to be a subtitled entry instead of a numbered one, I imagine it will follow more closely to Revelations than RE6 anyway.
-Three returning characters, all of whom haven't been seen in a new game in at least ten years or have never actually made an active appearance
