Resident Evil 5 - The next awesome game of amazing goodness?

[makeitlookreal]

More than any other game I'm excited about Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was an absolutely fantastic game. It had AMAZING graphics, good game play, and a great story.

I am hoping that we will see some new footage of Resident Evil 5 for the PS3.

[CreativeWriter]

I don't know MILR, is PS3 even the lead platform for RE5? It's early enough in the dev cycle that they could announce a Wii version, and with Capcom's multiplat engine, I'm not sure we'll get graphics any more impressive than DMC4. Hope I'm wrong, though.

Yay for uber graphics being the only concern!

As long as this game rivals the gameplay and atmosphere of RE4, im on board.

For the first time ever I get to say something like this... I hope youre wrong. I actually want your hopes not to come true. Do no optimize it for the PS3, and have a RE5 port to Wii with the old RE4 engine. That way I can enjoy RE5 on my Wii as well as tons of other fans who dont want a PS3 or 360 to enjoy that game.

[Viper]

Wii is getting an exclusive RE game so I don't feel too bad about losing RE5 though I too would like to play it on Wii.

Maybe like the RE4 timed exclusive port to PS2 issue, Wii will get a version down the road.

For now let's see how it turns out on X360/PS3.

:spit:

:thumbl: How about option #3, PS3 gets optimized code and Wii gets RE5: Code Ver-Wii-ica? 360 users cry... Really, though, I'm all for Wii getting a separate port made by a separate team to take advantage of the Wii's capabilities. I still say unmodified multiplat code = bad news for PS3 and Wii fans.

[masonite]

^exactly. by having 2 games, PS/XBOX owers don't cry about non-utilisation or any of that crap, and Wii owners dont cry about being forgotten, etc.

i really can't understand how anyone can complain about any console getting an exclusive game...

[makeitlookreal]

I have no problem if they port it to the Wii or 360 as long as they optimize it for the PS3. I think if they are willing to spend the money they are able to optimize it for all systems.

[curryking1]

We will see.

What do I see as the next games of amazing goodness right now? A game like GTA IV, or FF XIII, or MGS4. RE5, to me, is not something I will expect to reach that a plateau that other games may, although I'm willing to be suprised.

I was suprised with RE4 and what they did last gen, but I don't see RE5 making as nearly big as a splash on next gen consoles, disregarding whatever splash there was for RE4 for it's new control scheme and dynamics. RE4's splash to me was because it was simply a great package and was fun and looked good, not so much because it changed, just because what it was.

[gibmonster]

Hmm. Judging by their PC ports, I wouldn't get my hopes up. The wii version (if there is one) won't look as good as 360 or ps3. And the 360 and PS3 versions probably won't look different at all.

Note: Before somebody starts to cry or slit their wrists or something. The gameplay could still be good. But I do want something MORE than RE4 with better graphics and tacked on Wii controls and you should, too.

[Blaksmoke]

I have to admit I was pretty bummed when I heard that RE 5 probably wasn't coming to the Wii. And I really couldn't care less about the rail shooter that the Wii is getting. I still don't plan on getting a PS3, but I hope RE 5 turns out to be a kickass game.

[makeitlookreal]

gibmonster,

The last thing I could care about are six axis controls. I'm hoping that they optimize the PS3 version to for example allow the CELL to help with graphics, allow streaming textures from he HDD, utilize the awesome shading power of the RSX, etc.

RE5 trailer

http://gametrailers.com/player/21466.html

its the short trailer shown at Microsoft press conference.

[Z]

the mood looks on the spot. but is that in-game?

as for Rev, I think it'll get a version of RE5 on top of the exclusive one, but only a bit later.

PS. if the exclusive Rev one is the guncon one then ouch.

Of course they are in-game. Look at the characters, you can see polygons edges. The main character has a higher polygon count..but thats to be expected.

[makeitlookreal]

This game looks great.

[Shadow Voa]

If my theme didnt give it away, this is my game of the show. I got a small teaser on it and you know what? Im fuckin grateful since I cannot describe in words how excited I am for Resident Evil 5!!

Is it a sequel to 4? Are we back on track with the main story? Is that Chris? There's a R.P.D patch on his shirt, if not Chris who is it? What is Wesker's involvment? Will Ada make an appearance? What about Leon, Barry, Jill, Rebecca? So many questions, too many... 2008 release date couldnt be any farther then it was after I saw that trailer.

lol. well, conrary to what you want, most of us here want every game to be optimized for our system of choice. another thing to keep in mind is that I don't think it is possible to direct port any PS2/X2 game to Rev. and since the game will probably have most of it built from the scratch for the Rev, I don't see the notion of 'porting' to be as what traditionally is thought out to be.

having the Rev with such a simple design and similarities with Cube, I think they can optimize the games for it pretty well and faster than traditional new hardware. that, and as long as you get a 'Rev level' of impressment, then that is all that you may want.

kicking things back on PS3; this is a prime IP with a long history and competition challenging it as fierce as ever. I think it is only expected from every RE fan out there to want this game to kick ass and give the competition a run for their money. after all, it isn't every year that we see a main offering. ;)


as for the trailer, it looks really good and promising. I am loving the new 'faster and more aggressive' Zombies and it is about time they updates the idiotic, laughable zombie versions of the past. watching the movie 28 Days Later (and soon 28 Weeks Later) and also playing RE4 to an extent made the notion of going back the Snailville zombie typs unacceptable. at least for me.

[Z]

wow, that is in-game and it looks impressive. with sucj details, RE might just get that horror factor back. :)

[VG Aficionado]

It looks awesome. I guess that's real time cutscenes and definately not gameplay, but it still looks fantastic.

[Z]

imagine what the bosses must look like.

[VG Aficionado]

Are you trying to make me poop in my pants?

[makeitlookreal]

I'm so hyped up about the future of the PS3! This game looks so awesome! I was worried about it being downgraded, but it actually looks BETTER.

[woundingchaney]

This "downgraded" and "optimized" nonsense regarding titles for multiplat is a bit ridiculous. None of us would know either way if a title was optimized unless we are told so and even then when it is optimized its not as if it is a dramatic difference in comparison (infact the difference nearly all the time is extremely minimal). Many of these superior ports on either side of the fence simply focuses on what cnosole recieves what and is only a half story. The impression Im getting from devs is that a title is what it is and much of the cross plat. mythos and optimization statements is ultimately nonsense to try to play upon trivial differences in version either way.


RE5 footage is extremely hard to come by, outside of the initial conferences there hasnt been any media on it in booths or the floor. Capcom is focusing more on their fall lineup than any media outside of it (of course so is everyone else).

I guess this would be right, but

more often than not, higher profile games that are exclusive, look vastly better than a high profile multiplat game. I cant tell any comparison right now (a bit tired^^) but you know what I mean.

[Kiosko]

The Framework engine is evolving nicely. Can't wait to see if Wesker shows up.

[Fazares]

so the old trailer was real time as well....chris looks just the same as his e3 2005 counterpart.....

See, why can't DMC4 looks this good?

[Z]

The Framework engine is evolving nicely. Can't wait to see if Wesker shows up.
well, for what it's worth, he has been in every main RE game to date, AFAIK.

[Shadow Voa]

Z as an true RE fan I want nothing more then for as many people possible to play this game, hence why an RE5 game for the Wii would be nice.

In the end if they dont get one no big deal, Im all set and really thats what counts. So can we start some awesome speculation yet? Im dying to analyze the photo's and videos with other people.

Also, closer inspection indicates the patch on his arm isnt the R.P.D one. So it either means "Chris" here is in a new organization or maybe it isnt even Chris at all. Though I do believe it is him, can we get a Jill return as well now? At least wearing the skirt in this hot climate (heat and temperature are now factors in the game) would be more appropriate. :thumbr:

[yoshaw]

I liked the Chris they showed in the TGS2005 CG trailer. He had a more sqaure jaw line and a much better heroic look. This in-game Chris is more like .... meh. Not Chris enough I'd say. Change please!

PS: They can do that btw, as the guy from Dead Rising got a major overhaul in the final game compared to initial screens.

[Shadow Voa]

Anyway on an important matter, the patch under very close observation has the initial B. S. A. A. and behind it seems to be the Earth/globe.

What does it stand for? Who knows... but it seems to me that "Chris" is crashing the party since in the video the villagers dont seem to want to harm him. But after he is on the same stage as the man being hung, they dont really seem so peaceful.

[GTShotoKen]

I don't think there is much at all to speculate about in this iteration of RE currently.

RE4 definitely didn't leave much to the imaginaton, but:

1. Las Plagas might surface again.

2. Wesker's alive, kickin, and wants to restart Umbrella.

3. We have no earthly idea how Ada survived after RE2 (I'm drawing a blank on Code Veronica so if something happened there please enlighten me :)).

4. WHY THE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

[Shadow Voa]

Then dont speculate I will... and anyone else who wants to as well.

Anyway what about the idea that these enemies are a cross between Ganado and zombie? Think about it like this, you're fighting these "smart" Ganado like humans with weapons and ability to communicate. Now you pull out your .45 and take him down with 5 bullets and more of them are coming.

You take em all out, do some searching through buildings as time passes. Then on your way back to the place where you killed them, the bodies stir and relive. No parasites popping out of the head... but the living dead. Enemies you kill and return from the dead, how intense would that be?

I really think that could be something to do with the young black man who was being held down by his comrades and then bleeds out the eyes seemingly dying. Though... he rises again soon after as if transformed. Interesting no?

I'm definitely not saying that you can't speculate, but you will be shooting from the rafters right now. Keep pulling out any interesting little tidbits about the trailer that hints at possible story line if you see them.

Anyways, that's a very cool dynamic. It'll be like the enemy is always on your tail. To be constantly on the run will be very interesting if the game is like that. Downing the enemy only buys you time...now that's cool.

I do wonder if the desert environment will make your enemies hallucinate and become violent to all that surround them?

Oh by the way, if there is always some reoccurring feature about RE is that there is always a large industrial laboratory hidden amongst the normal environment.

If there is one actual gameplay dynamic that I'm very interested in is that the enemies are highly mobile now so does that mean hand to hand encounters will be much more diverse and called upon?

[Shadow Voa]

Well if youre a fan then you know there is another secret company by the name of "S" which is whom Ada works for and not Wesker, whom wants to return Umbrella to its former glory.

I really am curious about what the B.S.A.A stands for... and if there are any other members part of the group like former STARS members. There really is more then you can imagine to speculate.

Also, on another note, there is rumors of a full trailer being released on July 26th. So that means speculating is fine since really we may get more answers if it turns out that the new trailer really does show up.

[Z]

4. WHY THE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

actually, that is very interesting for me. you see, RE4 took us to a new local (out side the US) so a Spanish comunity (or was it Mexican?) with a new threat (La Plagas). this time, they will take us to Africa; a totally new environment and setting. I am sure that the story will begin as most RE and zombie movies do; there is a mysterious epidemic that broke out in a village(s) in Afrika. go investigate.

I say we won't here a think from the La Plagas since that was a totally new story to the series and so will this one be as well.

in any case, I was always looking at Aone in the Dark as the unofficial RE5 since we had nothing on it. now that RE5 brought us new info, I am very excited indeed. the main RE games have always delivered and been exciting. they also developed by time and didn't stay stale like some other franchises. I am of course talking about the main offerings and not the REmakes and side offerings. RE1 was great. RE2 blew that out of the water. RE3 was action packed. Code Veronica was a next- generation offering and RE4 is latest and greatest. from that track record, I think it is a given to say RE5 will officially kick ass. :)

[GTShotoKen]

I think the new setting really opens up a wealth of new possibilites to the RE team.

I do wonder if you will have locations as varied as in RE4 though.

Damn, so many questions. I really want to see Claire return too. The brother sister duo worked out quite well in Code Veronica. Now seeing every protagonist return in this title would be even greater fan service.

[Saibo]

there is rumors of a full trailer being released on July 26th.

Thats not a rumor, it was mention by Peter Moore during the Microsoft Press Conference. :pinky:

Have you noticed how abnormally huge Chris arms are in one of the pics?

[GTShotoKen]

He beefed up like Leon in RE4.

[Saibo]

He beefed up like Leon in RE4.

More like his on some drugs that starts with a "S" also :devious:

well, for what it's worth, he has been in every main RE game to date, AFAIK.

EDIT: nevermind.

[Shadow Voa]

Haha, well my theory is Chris has been working out everyday with a rematch against Wesker on his mind. Afterall, Wesker is a mutated super soldier whom whooped Chris's ass last time they met.

Chris doesnt forgive, this grudge has driven him!!

Bravo Special Assignment Agency

God, what the hell does that B.S.A.A stand for its driving me nuts?!!

[Z]

Any proof to back that up? AFAIK, the FrameWork engine is brand new, it was design from the ground up for next generation console/PC via multi-threading.
what? what are you talking about?


God, what the hell does that B.S.A.A stand for its driving me nuts?!!

I wouldn't think too much about it since it could be a totally new name- just like how I am not thinking too much on who the new main character is. was it confirmed to be Chris? AFAIK it was only speculation from IGN and the likes. in any case, I am expecting new faces, new agencies, new plot, new mutations. sure, nice appearance of fan favorites are welcomed, but I am looking forward to the new stuff they'll bring as well. :)

[Saibo]

what? what are you talking about?



Opps my mistake, i thought you said "framework engine has been used in all of the RE games" I just reread your post, your talking about Wesker(and so was the original poster). My bad!

[Lucid Delusion]

I hope the full trailer at least confirms that the character is indeed Chris. It'd be nice if they put an end to the debate of whether it's Chris or Billy from R30. Personally I don't see Billy being a significant enough character to warrant a game where he's the lead character, especially after the way RE4 unfolded.

[Shadow Voa]

This is Billy:

http://t-virus.blog.jeuxvideo.com/images/mn/1128010407.jpeg

Notice his right arm? I dont think they would go through the trouble to remove his tattoos nor is it accident.

http://www.gametunnel.com/images/editorials/re5.jpg

Our "Chris" here is very much without tattoo's.

[VG Aficionado]

actually, that is very interesting for me. you see, RE4 took us to a new local (out side the US) so a Spanish comunity (or was it Mexican?) with a new threat (La Plagas). It was supposed to be Spanish, but there was nothing Spanish about it at all :shrug:

Anyway, I agree that this game will appear in the tabloids as a racist game, as we have a white guy shooting black people and the newspapers and TV reports just will not pay attention to the game's plot and will just conspire against Capcom and their hate against black people. Funny enough, I don't think it would have nearly the same chances of making it to the sensationalistic press without black people to shoot at.

We've been shot at and killed by white people for so many years...

We can't give them a valid reason to do it now!!! :lol: j/k

It will probably happen, but Rockstar has already proved that negative press will only help your game sell more so I don't think Capcom will be hurting in the pocket after this game is released.

just a quick thought; it would be easier for them not to put tattoos. ;)

who cares about those sources? like it would really make a difference.

and you know what would is ironic? making everyone white in such a setting as Africa. yet something tells me that would go out not being racist at all.
We've been shot at and killed by white people for so many years...
I bet putting a non-white shoting whites would be considered okay- which in effect would make that notion racist as well.

fucked up shit, I know. :whip:

they also demonstrated that too much negative press can harm you. they lost a bit on the recalling and adjusting the rating of the last GTA game. also, Manhunt 2 was slaughtered alive before it even came out. I blame T2 for how they handled the latter.

Maybe it can be an acronym related to a team that deals with biological terrorism, which what Umbrella could have been categorized under.

To throw this out there, is it coincidental that his patch is a globe with the intials B.S.A.A when there is one called the O.S.A.A.

The second stands for, Office of the Special Advisor on Africa. A basic part of the United Nations. Did Chris become some sort of agent looking into some sort of issue (the one we see in the trailer) in a remote location of Africa?

Office of the Special Advisor on Africa.
maybe it's Bravo in place of Office? some games do these twists on real life occurrences.
Did Chris become some sort of agent looking into some sort of issue (the one we see in the trailer) in a remote location of Africa?
I thought that was made very clear in the trailer.

So does Leon's and Chris' position in government tasks forces link together?

Not so, he could be investigating word of Weskers involvement in this area unbeknownst him what is happening in this small village. Much like Leon's surprise when he learned the village was filled with mindless killers. Chris could be walking into the same surprise.

Ex. He walks into the village just fine in the trailer passing the villagers without harm. Also the villagers are either cheering for the hanging white man or revolting against the actions taking place. Chris obviously intervenes and that sets off the villagers whom grab him and knock him down.

I know we have to wait till July 26th anyway but it really is interesting trying to piece together ideas from the 360 and PS3 trailer.

As for the Billy tattoo, they very easily could take it out of both trailers, but I dont think they would go to all that trouble just to keep the character a secret. The not so subtle hints push for it being Chris without saying it, if it were in fact Billy I would assume they would show the tattoo on his right arm.

Besides people are saying it could also be Hunk, Ive read some thing its Bruce McGaven, and also the Ark Thompson. But most fans assume like myself it is Chris until we learn or get some sort of information to state otherwise.

^Lol!! That guy is a little negative though, he should have played the demo more than once.

[Pluto]

yeah but he's being very cynical, that's his schtick, or his act.

[Sephiroth_VII]

I guess so. I would've been more like :rant: if I'd taken him seriously.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

The 'twirling around like clothes hangers in a dryer' bit made me laugh.

I'm glad you posted the vid in an RE5 thread, but this definitely wasn't the thread I had in mind.

Maybe...the official thread?
