RE6 Getting too Far From its Roots?

With Jack Bower taking over the role of Leon Kennedy, non stop explosions, the apparent turn towards regenerating health and now a dridder as a boss, Resident Evil 6 seems have strayed far from the beaten path and fallen off of a cliff. Capcom seems to enjoy taking its games and screwing up the working formula. I was never really a Biohazard fan to begin with, so I'd initially thought I'd get this game. But having played RE: Revelations for the 3DS, plus having two friends who've shown me just about all previous RE games, this is starting to look like something I'm going to avoid.
