I don't know if I like this. Part of the tension of RE is that you're somewhat vulnerable while shooting. I appreciate the huge leaps they made in gameplay with 4 but going to a Gears-style cover system doesn't seem right for the franchise.
On the other hand, it's nice to see Japanese developers finally embrace the vastly superior control systems from Western-developed games (MGS4, RE4) and realizing that to make a game intense, you don't need to force an archaic control scheme on the player that makes them want to throw their controller.
