 At E3 2006 , Origins was announced as in development by Climax Studios , instead of by Konami 's Team Silent who had developed previous installments . The first previews of the game featured a departure from the third @-@ person view typical of the series to a Resident Evil 4 @-@ style camera angle , and an emphasis on action and combat to a greater degree than the previous installments in the series . In the previews , Travis had six weapons , divided equally between melee weapons and firearms . Additional changes included a laser sight for his pistol and an option for the player to barricade areas . At the time , the game was expected to be released in late 2006 .
