Oh, and I forgot, those nasty villagers are speaking spanish!
Well, in fact, the game takes place in an small village of Spain: They're speaking spanish in a "remote european village", the policeman that says the "it's freezing" thing wears exactly the (spanish) National Police uniform, and if there were any other doubts... There's a screenshot showing a found item: "you got coins worth 300 pesetas", and the peseta was, until the Euro came, the official spanish money.
I'm eager to see the zombie of Franco as the final boss!

Well, I saw it and...
As the "poli" says: ¡Coño!, this really is Spain! Cool! They even have "lolailo" music in the car! 
But I guess they didn't do much research. How could I say it, it doesn't give me the impression of it being your typical Spanish village, probably because of the houses:
The way they're placed resembles more your typical Western movie village, with houses here and there and a lot of space between them, whereas here in Spain all the classic old villages (AFAIK) are clearly organized in streets and some squares, one house next to the other. And they're narrow streets, normally.
Plus, while many of the buildings that are shown are made with stones and concrete, as the typical Spanish ol' houses are, still too many of 'em are made of wood, which is quite a rare view here, IIRC.
Another little thing about this, that picky me has seen, is about that pseudo-zombie chief saying ¡Vayan por detrás!... Because, unless all those... somethings don't know or have too much respect for each other (doubtful), in Spain we'd say ¡Id por detrás!. The other form is more formal, more polite, here in Spain, and, AFAIK, it's more common/informal in South America, so it sounds weird.
BTW, TM, where's that screenshot you mention?
Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.

I haven't followed everything, so maybe everybody already saw the E3 trailer of Bio 4, but if you haven't, it's on the
official page now.
The game still looks too disturbing for me.
This one's looking good! The early stuff sounded promising, and it's living up to my expectations so far. It's coming across as Capcom's answer to SH and MGS, which isn't a bad thing. I still think SH is not beatable by any RE game, but that's not to say RE4 isn't looking good. I like the idea of free camera movement, and free shooting a lot. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is babysitting that girl... I have a feeling she'll be irritating to have around (babysitting/ escorting is NEVER fun in my opinion... it becomes a chore in most cases). The graphics are looking good, the gameplay sounds solid, and the story and monsters look good, too.
As for the villagers, I still vote on "early stages of T-virus infection," although there may be a new version of the virus in some kind of testing phase or something like that. They might not be zombies NOW, but they're definitely headed in that direction. Only other possibility I can come up with right now is possession (connected to the Druids), but I like the disease angle a bit more (plus, that relates to the other games... possession doesn't).

I heard at one point a church bell rings and the villigers stop attacking and go back to their everyday business. They might be a new kind of bioweapon that has the endurance of a zombie, the intelligence of a human, but are controllible through hypnosis of sorts.
Either way I really want to play this and find out what's going on.
Also is the girl "the President's daughter" like early press releases infered or is it Sherry? The ending for Resident Evil 3 mentioned that Leon was looking for her, but they may have abandoned that plot thread.

Well, they say the village is located in Spain, but that doesn't mean the villagers are spaniards...
Maybe the village is an isolated place where americans live and practice whatever kind of cult they're performing on the game.
Could be, but definitely weird it sounds.

And about the voices thing, I would really surprised if they hired spanish dubbers: they're way more expensive to hire than south american dubbers, and are less. And since a Japanese person won't probably know that there's a significant difference in both kinds of spanish, they'll go with the obvious choice.
I know, and that's what I was criticising, how they don't care about it. They probably thought "looks Western, sounds Spanish -> good enough". And that's all.
Hope I was wrong though. Of course, it doesn't matter that much anyway, as long as the game is good.

Well, look at it this way- America in the RE series didn't look very American, but it was close enough. I don't know if they're not doing enough research on these locations, or if they just wanted it to be more compatible with the Japanese audience. Either way, it was still fun blowing up zombies and rotten dogs, so I didn't care that Raccoon City didn't look 100% American. It sort of looked like it could be American, so it was good enough in my mind. You get my point.
