Resident Evil 5 - official thread

[VG Aficionado]

Since E3 is over and there will be an extended RE5 trailer next week, I thought I'd create a RE5 thread here to discuss RE5 until the next big event and beyond:

New Resident Evil 5 Details (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/805/805931p1.html)
Producer Jun Takeuchi shares some info in the latest Famitsu.
by IGN Staff

July 18, 2007 - Being able to see new footage of Resident Evil 5 was one of our E3 highlights, even though the new trailer didn't really tell us too much about the game. Enter the latest issue of Famitsu, which is home to an interview in which producer Jun Takeuchi shared some of the details we were looking for.

Takeuchi only provided vague hints about the storyline. As many have guessed from the insignia that appears in the footage, main character Chris Redfield is a member of a group called BSAA. According to Takeuchi, something has happened in the desert area that serves as the game's setting, and BSAA has dispatched Chris to investigate.

Once on the scene, Chris encounters a new form of enemy. Takeuchi described the game's enemies as something of human form that has intelligence. However, the foes are neither zombie nor ganado (in reference to the creatures from RE4).

In addition to the new enemy, a certain girl will make an appearance in the game. She's someone whom fans of the series will recognize. In the full version of the E3 trailer (which will be distributed on Xbox Live and PSN later this month), she appears just briefly, but Takeuchi expects her to have a more significant role in the next trailer (no ETA given on that, unfortunately). In the game proper, she will have a big part both in the story and as part of the gameplay.

On the topic of gameplay systems, Takeuchi admitted to the magazine that the hardest part of development so far has been in mixing new elements with part 4's basic gameplay. For the most part, RE5 will be played from a perspective similar to that of part 4, with Chris appearing on the left side of the screen. However, Takeuchi also promised a big surprise addition that he believes is an obvious evolution for the gameplay.

According to Takeuchi, if, after seeing the E3 trailer, you feel RE5 looks like RE4 now, you'll be left with a completely different impression following the next trailer.

Previously, Takeuchi has spoken about the importance of light in the game. In this latest interview, he offered an example of how light will play a role. Say Chris enters a doorless building. The surroundings are bright and the interior is dark, so it takes Chris a few moments to adapt before he can see. The game will replicate this, along with the opposite effect of going into a bright area after being in the dark for an extended period. This is where you can expect to encounter some of the series' trademark fear, this time from the inability to aim or see.

Takeuchi wouldn't provide a solid release date for RE5, but there seemed to be some consensus of it appearing some time before 2010. It will be a long wait, but then again so was the wait for RE4, and that one turned out pretty good.

Sooo.... 2009...

[yoshaw]

Omg Omg, RE5 news!!

2009?!!? Man, I'd not be surprised if they scrap the whole game and re-make it just like they did with RE4. lol

j/k btw.

Certain Gurrl??!!

Would it be Claire? or Jill? Maybe Rebecca? :S

I'm hyp3d!!

According to Takeuchi, if, after seeing the E3 trailer, you feel RE5 looks like RE4 now, you'll be left with a completely different impression following the next trailer.


Hmm, I wonder how big of a difference would it be in the upcoming trailer. I'm guessing they'll show the light/darkness blinding gameplay that might wow us to no end. I'm calling 'wait n see' on this one.

[chartwel]

please add the horror element back. please, please, please.

[makeitlookreal]

This is great news!

By the way, the footage we have already seen will probably be improved upon tremendously by the day it launches.

[curryking1]

Come on Jill Valentine in provocative clothing! Tight leather skirt and tight blue tube top ftw! *shakes magic eight ball*

[TEEDA]

Release date 2009.

I LOVE IT that part of this game will be in BROAD DAY LIGHT!

[TEEDA]

LoL the last trailer made me think of the level in Splinter Cell: Double agent.

[Shadow Voa]

I think Ive had my fair share of discussing this in the E3 thread so I will wait before getting into gear and taking over this thread with rabid speculation.

Until then, thanks Yoshaw for the pictures that is rep worthy my friend!

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I forget who said, 'why can't DMC4 look like this' but my guess is (and it's just a guess) it could have something to do with DMC4 running at a constant 60fps. I'd guess RE5 is running at 30. A resident evil game wouldn't need to run at 60.

[chartwel]

i just want to see some gameplay................hopefully the first trailer will show a little. the video we have already seen is clearly not gameplay.

[Shadow Voa]

That Famitsu scan with Chris aiming is as good an indicator of gameplay screen as anything youre going to get. Since I dont expect the 26th trailer to reveal anything super new besides the like 3 seconds of either Jill, Claire, or Rebecca.

Besides at least 2 mins of said new trailer is parts from the 360 and PS3 trailer so the new stuff will most likely be not much if I had to guess.

Here's hoping for a nice 4-5 min trailer though!! :thumbr:

[yoshaw]

i just want to see some gameplay................hopefully the first trailer will show a little. the video we have already seen is clearly not gameplay.

Err, I'd suggest you watch the trailer again and then go play RE4. That's as close to getting the feel of RE5 gameplay, I assure ya. Rest is upto you to do it or not. :thumbl:

Besides at least 2 mins of said new trailer is parts from the 360 and PS3 trailer so the new stuff will most likely be not much if I had to guess.

How can you tell? I mean seriously, the framework engine is like the same for both PS3/360. You can't tell smack of the differences and Capcom doesn't want it either. So don't be assuming it'll be part 360/ part PS3. It'll be what both consoles be seeing, looking exactly the same to naked eye. In the end, shouldn't matter to a RE fan.

Or does it? lol :)

[GTShotoKen]

Hey Yoshaw, I believe he means that the next trailer won't show much new (or be too much longer either)....http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/tuzi04.gif

Edit: Cool, I didn't notice I had a full rep bar now! This calls for a....http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/punch.gif...http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/goodjob.gif...http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/hero.gif!!!

[Shadow Voa]

Well met GG, that is precisely what I was trying to say... didnt come off that way it seems. At least its confirmed as Chris finally... may all the Hunk, Billy and Ark character theories die in peace. Hehe.

But now the mysterious girl theories are out there, from Jill, Claire, Rebecca, Ada, Sherry... hell even Ashley again!! ARGH! <_<

Edit: Wow I must be tired or something Guru, lol sorry bout that.

[yoshaw]

My bad, I thought you was talking of differences between the 2 platforms. My bad! >_<

[GTShotoKen]

Well met Z, that is precisely what I was trying to say... didnt come off that way it seems. At least its confirmed as Chris finally... may all the Hunk, Billy and Ark character theories die in peace. Hehe.


What...Z hasn't even posted in this thread yet?!

Edit: Nevermind on the full rep bar...I still need one more box...http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/noooo.gif

[Shadow Voa]

Lol I edited that GG, sorry about that man for some reason I thought you were Z. It must be the avy's that tripped me up damn your Killzone 2 looking somewhat similar to his Vamp one!

[GTShotoKen]

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/grin.gif...http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/lols.gif

Oh it's fine ShadowVoa......................................... ...........................http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/63d4808b.gif

Anyways, I hope we never see hunk again. Boy oh boy did he suck in Mercenaries mode. He definitely made me quit on the hand cannon goal a couple of times.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if Ada made an appearance in this title. It would definitely make sense now.

I'm rooting for Claire though. ;)

[Shadow Voa]

Jill is my vote for the return of the girl, after all the RE1 team is working on this so I can see a return pairing of one of the girls from that game. But if I had to choose the one I'd want, it would be Rebecca.

As for Hunk sucking, are you kidding me? Hunk is one of the best, not only can he repel the chainsawer's but one proper shot followed by a neckbreaker is an insta kill and combos amazingly well. Im sure he will make an appearance in RE5, after all he is the mini games expert in the RE universe. :)

If anything Krauser sucked the big one even though I got the Hand Cannon he was the biggest pain in the ass for me at least.

[chartwel]

Err, I'd suggest you watch the trailer again and then go play RE4. That's as close to getting the feel of RE5 gameplay, I assure ya. Rest is upto you to do it or not. :thumbl:

Krauser was actually my second favorite next to Wesker (cheap beyond all reason).

Seeing Jill in this game would actually be surprising to me after her ordeal in RE3. I think she wouldn't have anything to do with mutagenic viruses after being chased around by Nemesis and and nearly being turned into a monster herself (though she does vow to stop umbrella like everyone else).

Edit: Rebecca would be an interesting choice though. I haven't actually played RE0 so I don't have much of an attachment to her as a character.

[yoshaw]

like i said, i want to see gameplay. i dont want to go watch RE4, i want to see RE5 gameplay................nothing more than a trailer with no gameplay.

Alrite then, if you can wait, sure. Wait for it. Back there seemed like you really wanna know whats it gonna be like. Not that RE5 gameplay is gonna be any different from RE4. Says there in the opening post too.

Anyways, the word you're looking for is, wait4it. :thumbl:

well, actually the new info says there will be a difference and gameplay, and that will be quite apparent when the second trailer gets released. they should have made that one the first one :)

[Segitz]

I need to tell ya,

Hunk was my first char that made the 5 star ranking on all levels (I really rock with him)^^, after that Krauser and Wesker. Now, after more than 100hrs of gameplay (we three, I, my brother and his gf (seriously!)), we have played thru EVERY BIT of the game (even on professional^^).

I hope, there'll be another one (but more horror, please!) like that one, especially the Mercenaries stuff (which was cut from the german versions, gladly, my PS2 is region free)

[Smokey]

2009 Wtf :(

[VG Aficionado]

I remember some fellows saying back when RE5 was unveiled in July 2005 that it was likely we wouldn't see it before 2009 considering how long it took them to release RE4. They also joked that it was likely as well that some fans wouldn't survive the release date either.

I guess they were more right that I wish they were :( 4 years is just too much time.

[makeitlookreal]

4 years is not too long in my opinion if it means the game is going to be absolute top notch.

[TEEDA]

I wonder if they will continue the series of Resident Evil : Outbreak. Never tried one, but I heard it was enjoyable and a good online experience.

[VG Aficionado]

I prefer Capcom not to release any other RE spinoffs and let them focus on the canonical games. But they will just develop whatever they want.

[makeitlookreal]

This game could be very interesting. Apparently, there is another infection on the loose other than the T virus and the parasites from RE4. However, just imagine if the parasites from RE4 and T virus zombies show up even just for a little while or in a couple levels!

This could be one really exciting game. There are countless possibilities.

[yoshaw]

Thank for the enlighting speech, captain obvious! :nervous:

[GTShotoKen]

Professional mode on RE4 was a joke. I was hoping for something a little more challenging. I couldn't really tell the difference between the two modes.

Anyways, as a side note from the past RE games we already know that Wesker threw away his humanity in order to get revenge over Chris Redfield (and not to die). Now in RE2, Ada blatantly dies after her and Leon have a moment, but her shadowy figure mysteriously shows up to toss you a rocket launcher when fighting the new tyrant as Leon.

What's weird about this is that we have no idea what exactly Wesker used to become inhuman and what Ada used (after dieing :lol:) to come back to life. I wonder if she's the same as Wesker, but that seems unlikely since she doesn't posses inhuman speed or strength.

I'm personally confused as to how Wesker can retain his human appearance even though he's a monster. The T-virus, G-virus, nor T-Veronica virus could do that (Alexia had to turn into a monster to actually use her powers).

Also, what's confusing is why Wesker wants to revive umbrella so bad. He did tell Chris that he ruined his original plans with umbrella so he had to sell his soul to a new employer. Wesker obviously seems to be going behind the back of his new employeer if he wants to revive umbrella since he original was out to steel umbrella's research and destroy the company during Code Veronica (although the government themselves ended up ruining the company after the Raccoon City incident).

Yo, ShadowVoa...any thoughts?

[Segitz]

Professional mode on RE4 was a joke. I was hoping for something a little more challenging. I couldn't really tell the difference between the two modes.


Did you play it on the GC or the PS2?

Imho, on the PS2, the game is MUCH easier. I actually made it to Krauser (sadly, the german GC version I have is "cut", ie no additional stuff beside the main game), where you battle on top of the tower. Man, I could NOT beat him...

On the PS2, I needed about 10 to 15 tries (had nearly no Magnum ammo) till it worked. The rest of the game was a breeze though.

I prefer challenging games to "unfair hard games" (like Mortal Kombat 2). When one is able to play it, without memorizing stuff like hell, this suits my taste more.

[GTShotoKen]

I bought the game when it first came out on GameCube. I've played it to death (I still play it actually) and got everything. I got really damn good at the game from playing Mercenaries mode though before I went to professional so I thought professional mode was very easy (I also play shooters all the time so I wasn't that bad at the game when I first played it either).

[Z]

I cannot get hyped for any game releasing two years from now. I am only looking at 08 at the farthest. by this time next year, I can begin to start looking to next year's offerings, but certainly not now.

You know you can't resist RE. It calls for your fanboyism and feeds off of it

[Applefiend]

All in favor of people taking years between sequels, worst thing is the Splinter Cell school of gaming where they keep banging out a new game every year. One every 3 years is a good gap.

RE5 is an instant buy, no reviews needed.

[Z]

okay, I admit it! I want this now! okay, I said it. happy now? now can you please give me back my precious emos?

that can actually be solved by 'multi-dev' a project. best example would be the FF games (yes, the main ones. side crap doesn't count anywhere) and worst example would be Call of Duty.

but yes, I love to see a sequel that could push the franchise forward and give fans a whole new ride that is worth the wait. :)

Every other developer is lazy in comparison... apart from Geurilla! I can wait for 2009, this looks REAL NEXT-GEN!!!

since the game is an 09 release, I think those are really in game. :)

Pic won't show

[Lucid Delusion]

That girl almost reminds me of the Ashford girl from Code Veronica.

[GTShotoKen]

I wonder if Steve will make a return since Wesker has him?

I don't think that could be Alexia since she seemed to be very dead after being blown to bits by that energy rifle shot from Chris.

[Lucid Delusion]

Yeah that is an unresolved issues. I had almost forgotten that Wesker makes away with Steve's body. Personally I'd like to see the story delve a little deeper into exactly what Wesker has been up to since the events of Code Veronica. We know he was basically behind the scenes during RE4 but there's quite a few unknown factors. Hopefully they clear it up a bit more.

[GTShotoKen]

RE4 made it seem like Wesker broke away from his new employer as he wanted to resurrect Umbrella, which is clearly not what the other mysterious faction wanted.

[Nameless]

The African setting is still bothering me for some reason...
The main character looks very impressive, but the NPC (Africans) do not look that detailed or impressive. *Hopefully we will see different shades and features and not the sterotypical tar black African character model...* I thought the NPCs in RE4 looked better at this point, but the game is still early and I'm sure the main character is one of the primary points of focus. I'm very interested in the game and curious how they will handle the story and setting. I think we all know the setting will be somewhat controversial for numerous reasons. If the story is done correctly a lot of social issues could be indirectly addressed in the game and could create a very compelling story. If the story is done incorrectly this title and setting could be a PR disaster... Only time will tell.

[Shadow Voa]

People who want to make it a racist issue are the ones with the problem. It's a video game, this is no different then killing in GTA... no one goes on about how you kill a black man on the street, or Chinese.

RE5 I believe will be fine with no stupid garbage about racism or anything to hold it back.

On a good note, the images are pure gold. They show me that the shit TMP has been scrapped with the M4 Rifle thing in its place. Mint!

The girl.... Rebecca is my guess or hope I should say, Claire has had 2 games, Jill 2, and Rebecca has had one so Im thinking they are going to give her some spotlight. 75% chance its Jill for the fact her and Chris are pretty much connected emotionally to one another.

[dnpmakkah]

Damn if these are real gameplay footage then **wow** it looks very close to the target video. Another PS3 title I'm so desperatly looking forward to. Obviously these aren't the best of quality but still impressive.

[makeitlookreal]

I don't think the setting is going to cause any kind of PR problems. Did the setting of Resident Evil 4 cause problems because so many of the characters were European?

By the way, in some areas of Africa the people are tar black. In other areas they are not. We don't know what area of Africa this game is in.

[dnpmakkah]

It probably will cause a stir only because there is always somebody bitching about something. You can bet there will be a group of people who will say Capcom is 'hurting' the black race and this 'exploits' the racial divide the world has against the black race...etc. Not everyone but there will be a group it never fails. It happened with GTA and the Hatians/Cubans.

I'm sure if instead of black people you were killing Jewish people it too would cause an up roar. I can see both sides of the arguement so I'm neutral. I understand why people get offended but I also understand its just a game too.

[Shadow Voa]

It's just a chance to sue someone for any reason, its the get rich quick scheme, its sickening.

[Viper]

Wait, people are making this a racist issue?

WTF? Those calling it racist are the only one actually being racist.

[Nameless]

People who want to make it a racist issue are the ones with the problem. It's a video game, this is no different then killing in GTA... no one goes on about how you kill a black man on the street, or Chinese.

RE5 I believe will be fine with no stupid garbage about racism or anything to hold it back.

On a good note, the images are pure gold. They show me that the shit TMP has been scrapped with the M4 Rifle thing in its place. Mint!

The girl.... Rebecca is my guess or hope I should say, Claire has had 2 games, Jill 2, and Rebecca has had one so Im thinking they are going to give her some spotlight. 75% chance its Jill for the fact her and Chris are pretty much connected emotionally to one another.

I don't care if you want to accept it or not, but America and the World still have a lot of racial issues that need to be addressed. Africa is in a very poor state with civil war, AIDS outbreak & economical issues running rampant. If you take the time to research the subject millions are dying in Africa at an alarming rate. The Continent as a whole is in a very fragile state and the world is basically turning a cold shoulder to the suffering and issues in that part of the world. It's definitely an issue and the timing for the setting could be poor if the story line is not handled correctly IMO. It would be like having a game killing Jews being released right after WWII; the only point I'm trying to make is the story will have to be well done in order to not offend people and create some negative press for the game.

It just pisses me off that people try to pretend racism no longer exist and we all know it does... I can't play one day on Xbox live without hearing someone being call a N!gger or some other racial slur. It's 2007 and we have a very long way to go IMO... :(

PS: I'm not trying to derail the thread, but it would be ignorant to completely ignore this issue. That's the problem in America today; too many people want to pretend all racial issues have been resolved and obviously there's still a lot of progress that needs to be made.

[yoshaw]

You know what I'd love to have in RE5?

A aim while walk mode. That would be a great addition to the game.

Damn if these are real gameplay footage then **wow** it looks very close to the target video. Another PS3 title I'm so desperatly looking forward to. Obviously these aren't the best of quality but still impressive.

we need that and they need to fasten the action a bit. in RE4, it felt like walking on wet cement. I found the controls very bulky and annoying. it's like playing MGS in an shooting action game.

QFT

I personally want to enjoy this as a game, but what you said can't be ignored Nameless.

[LennyNero1972]

Been a long time guys, I had to chime in on this one. First, the screens look great I can't wait for the game to come out, but I do see a potential problem with the setting. As a black man myself it may feel odd using a white character to shoot down other black people especially with such realistic graphics. I have to say that if this game does not spark some controversy then somebody is asleep.

[makeitlookreal]

Nameless,

Would you be concerned if the main character was a black man killing white people in a village of only whites? Quite frankly, I would not be offended at all if the main character was a black man killing white zombies. I'm also not at all offended that a white man is killing black zombies. For goodness sakes, he is not killing "humans." He is killing ZOMBIES or some type of monster!

This game is not being racist. It just happens to be in Africa!

Trust me, if you were being attacked by zombies or other monsters you would fight back regardless of their race or color.

By the way, no nationality or group of people have a monopoly on suffering. Hunger, poverty, and disease is EVERYWHERE. There is not a nation on this planet that has not been afflicted with this problems to some degree and that includes the USA.

Quite frankly, I refuse to be politically correct. People are just people black, white, asian, mexican, or any other race. No race has any special rights over any other even in the name of avoiding racism.

[Nameless]

Once again you are speaking about something you know nothing about...
I suggest we just end this conversation, because obviously no good is going to come from this discussion. Once again MILLIONS of people are dying at an alarming rate in Africa and as a whole the continent is ignored by mainstream media. (100 Million death toll in Africa by 2025) I understand that every nation has problems and suffering, but nothing on level of Africa if you do a little research and not make ignorant statements based on assumptions.

Once again my original statement is being ignored...
I stated if the story is handled correctly the game will be fine, but if handled recklessly it could be a disaster. * I never once stated that RE5 was racist in any way!*This same concern was mentioned regarding GTA San Andreas and I thought Rockstar did a great job with the title and it was refreshing to see a Black protagonist in a high budget videogame...

PS: MILR I don't need you to post a rebuttal to this statement, because I'm sure it will only promote a
(-rep) on my part.

[makeitlookreal]

Nameless,

If you want to neg rep me that is your choice. I'm not trying to be rude to you. We are only having a discussion. If you cannot have a discussion without getting angry or upset then that's not my fault. You're free and welcome to neg rep me.

Quite frankly, I can't see what could happen in this game that could make it even appear to be racist. As long as he is only attacking the zombie/monsters and not actual normal African people I don't see the problem. I don't see any type of problem.

Could you point out a situation that could arise in the game that would offend you? What might happen in the game that could cause a protest?

Quite frankly, I would think the main character would be HELPING the Africans by eliminating the zombie/monster threat.

By the way, I DO know something about Africa. I have been keeping track of the horrible events in Zimbabwae due to their EVIL DICTATOR "Mugabee". He is a monster and has caused massive suffering. The inflation rate goes up each and every week. Prices are going up so high in that nation even basic goods are not affordable. Additionally, the country has went from being part of the breadbasket of Africa to needing food shipped in by the United Nations. In Zimbabwae if you protest against Mugabe you can find your home destroyed or your family members murdered.

I realize things are bad in Africa. I realize things are very bad. But they are bad everywhere. It's all a measure of degrees.

Again, could you give me a sample situation that could come up in the game that might offend people?

By the way, I'm giving you a plus rep for being bold enough to give your opinion.

[GTShotoKen]

Dammit MILR the reason why he would negative rep you is because you have a bad habit of not understanding what the hell you read.

It has nothing to do with racism MILR.

They are African people. There has been much turmoil in Africa for many years, like Nameless said, with war, poverty, disease. Most countries in the world are neglecting to go aid the many natives who are in situations like these.

If you just come out with a piece of entertainment where you just kill a large group of African people it might come off as offensive. You also have to worry about misrepresentation.

Nameless is implying that there must be an engaging story and merit to what is being done in this game in order for it to be received well amongst the majority.

I hate it how people try to bail out of issues of racial and ethnic tension by just saying, "Hey if you call racism you're a racist". That's a bitches way out instead of trying to actually tackle the issue imo.

These are issues that happen and can't be avoided. You can't hide behind the fact that what you are making is entertainment to mask negative intent (if any). I'm not saying that Capcom has anything against Africans, but the issue itself is still sensitive.

Now, if anyone has any thoughts on my questions pertaining to the Resident Evil series a few posts pack then I would love to hear them. :)

Like you, I don't want the whole thread to be derailed by this issue, but I definitely don't want peoples' posts to go unheard.

Now, why in the hell am I so anxious to see more games even after E3? Now my days of relaxation are filled with rabid curiosity because I want to see more of this game. :lol:

I'm still shooting for Claire even after seeing the woman in the picture. Technically, Rebecca did help Chris out in RE1 even though she only played a significant role in RE0. Her role has been quite secretive though and her whereabouts are still shrouded in secret.

[the boney king of nowhere.]

the daily mail is gonna go to town on this game.


anyway, i hope the enemies are like the infected froom the 28 days/weeks later movies. that would be so fucking cool.

[GTShotoKen]

From the original trailer that seems very likely.

I wonder how Capcom will handle this since the controls used in the game don't lend themselves to enemies that are really fast.

I personally believe that the enemies will just behave like smarter versions of the Genados, but there will be scenes where a whole mob is chasing you down and you have no choice, but to run.

[the boney king of nowhere.]

yeah, i hope you can move whilst shooting this time.

i'd probably feel a bit tense in this situation, especially if they move pretty quick.http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1086/856944701_9ca63b18d8_o.jpg

Chris' biceps are ridiculously huge though. He can probably physically beat the hell out of everyone. [insert scene of Chris stomping El Gigante]

[VG Aficionado]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Maybe he got artificially extra tough somehow? :shrug:

There's no point in looking for storylines in RE games that actually make sense though. Good thing the art direction and the gameplay are what make the series so great. And as a matter of fact, the lame storylines actually end up being good excuses for good games in this case.

[SleazyBig slim]

This game will be limited technicaly due to being built on the 360, I think i'll pass. The RE games are usualy in the top 5 of best looking games for the gen there in, that wont be the case this time, bummer. They need to build this sucker on PS3.

I'm sure you can see Gears being severely, technically limited too....? WTF?

It being multiplatform might hurt its chances of looking supremely amazing, but it being on the 360 won't automatically make it ugly.

It looks great, it already looks better than many games out now so chill out.

There's no point in even playing this game if you aren't an actual fan of the RE franchise.

RE4 is still one of the best games ever made. RE5 building off of that game will automatically give it much credit. Visuals didn't make RE4, the most significant gameplay redesign since Metroid moving to First-person made it amazing and better as a game.

[yoshaw]

Ya'll have seen the scans on the previous page, yea? Here's translation

PAGE1
Its been 2 years since we last got a news update on Bio5. News for Biohazard 5, the latest entry in the series responsible for coining the term 'survival horror', has been revealed. The main character for the title is Chris Redfield, who is also the main protagonist in the first game. He also made an appearance in Code: Veronica, where he travels to save his younger sister, and is considered the 'main character' for the series. What he's going to face in "5", is a crazed group of people in a desert zone. Right now, we'll shows what Jun Takeuchi have to say about the game, as well as the messages of the previous episodes. This is what the world has been waiting for.

pg2
"5" talks about war. The area seems to have some sort of racial quarrel, and its a bizzare place with no justice nor evil. There's no more S.T.A.R.S, but for some reason Chris still gets involve in the incident. There's a "BSAA" patch on his shoulder, if you are observant enough. Takeuchi stated "Something occurred, and the organisation send him there."

The enemy is neither a zombie nor ganado. Takeuchi described them to be 'human-like with intelligence'. From the shots, we can see a massive amount of enemies on screen. In comparison to '4', the enemies behave closest to the ganado in the village. What is Chris fighting for? Actually, these screens were shown over at the E3 event. In the trailer, Chris mumble to himself 'what am I fighting for?' Maybe his inner thought is one of the things that the game will be portraying.

pg 3
The 'structure' of the game seems simliar to '4', where the game character got shifted to the lower left corner when aiming. However, Jun Takeuchi stated that there's a 'secret weapon' (or maybe just an expression, not literally a weapon) in the beginning of 5. He spoke of the evolution to what is expected for a Biohazard game, and that he's not making the game with the aim of just going back to the root nor fixing what's broken. Its a true evolution.

pg 4
Now we have here is the follow-up interview to what we've heard from Jun Takeuchi 2 years ago. Besides questions concerning the screenshots, the interview will also contain things like the thoughts from the developers, among others. Furthermore, the screenshots that's accompanying this interview are taken from the E3 trailer. The HD version of the trailer will be available on July 27 through XBox Live and PS Network. The trailer IS NOT CG, and they are in real-time. Now go drool over the quality of the screenshots and then return to this interview.

- After 2 years of silence, the breaking of the news surprised us
When we were thinking what to do for a new generation Biohazard game, we always look at Shinji Mikami's '4'. That game is like the peak of the series, that seems like a wall so high that you think it's totally impossible to pass it. When we think of how to 'give birth' to '5', we realised we have to stop having the idea of just following his footsteps. In that case, even if we used '4' game system, we will have the hardship of adding in new elements, which is where we will spend most of our time on. After playing this game, I think everyone will feel as if they have just completed '4' for the first time again.

- Is Chris selected for the game for the sake of making a closure to the series?
Its more of like a summary of the life for Chris in the last 10 years, rather than a closure. Once we tells what he have been doing, the stuffs that weren't shown in '4' will be revealed. I believe after this trailer, everyone will have mixed thoughts and feelings about it. However, we've a very important 'secret weapon' in the game.

- Secret weapon?
Yes. The basic game system is nearly identical to '4', but there's also a new important game element that will be added in '5'.

- The content?
We can't reveal it at the moment, because if we do, there's nothing for us to talk about next year! (laugh)

- We have to wait until next year?
Of course you won't have to wait for another year for the next news update (laugh) anyway please just treat it as a title that succeeded '4' at the moment. However, when we reveal the next trailer, maybe everyone will have a different impression. You'll go 'Oh!? Is this a Biohazard game?'

- There's a strong contrast in the screenshots
Despite a direct opposing of the 'darkness' featured in past Biohazards, if we were to rise it to a certain level, we can achieve the same result. Take for instance, Chris enters a building without a door. Because the surrounding is brighter, the interior will look darker. When you enter the building, your eyes will need some adjustment.

- The game will feature that?
Yes. Similarly, when you exit a dark room to a bright area, you'll see nothing until your eyes gets used to it. This radiates a 'hot', 'bright' feeling to the people. Although it'll be only for a short instance, this is where the annoying part. The difficulty of seeing and aiming during that instance will be the new way of portraying the 'horror' element of the game.

- The secretive female who plays a large role
Actually you'll only see this at the end of the trailer. She'll be the focus for the next trailer. Look out for her in the midst of the next trailer.

- Is she from a previous game?
I've been pretty forgetful lately. I can't recall, sorry (laugh)

- You liar! Will she play an important part in the story?
Her existence, from every angle, plays an important.
That's what I guessed.
Speaking of which, I think any long time gamers of the series will have already made a good guess by now.

- Like say, a character who have been captured but haven't been rescued yet?
She seems to experienced that (laugh) She's actually the thing which will make the gamer goes 'is this really a Biohazard game?' that I said earlier on.

- Relating to the new game element right?
Tied to the new game element and the story. Without her, it'll be impossible to discuss about the content of '5'.

- What's the release date for the game?
I was planning to write the release year at the end of the trailer, but the last two digits kept changing like a flashlight in my mind. It kept jumping between 08 and 09. Heck sometime it jumped to '10' (laugh)

- So the earliest we'll see the game is 2008?
2008 might be a too unrealistic. 2010 will be a wiser guess.

- well...that means good stuffs take time to develop right?
The development is very smooth, and hopefully the next interview we have, we'll be able to talk more about it. Hopefully I'll be able to reveal the release date by then.

- We'll be waiting!

Yes. The basic game system is nearly identical to '4', but there's also a new important game element that will be added in '5'.

I bet you all 20 bucks, the secret weapon they are talking about is the run&gun mechanic in RE5. I have a gut feeling I'm 100% right on this one!! As I see nothing else, that I could think of now, to be a true evolution to the already perfect RE4 control scheme.

[GTShotoKen]

So this title is seriously going to be a 09 game? Damn that's a long time to wait.

I don't recall Rebecca being captured, but I guess it looks like it might be her (the blond hair is really weird though).

It could be a grown up Sheri Berkin? Crap now I have so many questions now.

Mikami being the brain child behind RE has also been the one to call that it needed to change. I hope that the new team will have a fresher mind set like he has.

Crap, now let the speculation begin people!!!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/punch.gif

I was thinking the same exact thing actually.

[makeitlookreal]

I understood what nameless was trying to say, but I just disagreed with him. I don't see anything that could happen in the game that could in anyway whatsoever be made into a racial issue. That is why I asked him to provide specific examples.

Quite frankly, I don't think the game has to be well done or poor to avoid criticism over racism. As long as the main characters don't kill humans and only kill zombie/monsters I don't see what the issue is.

[GTShotoKen]

You missed the point completely again MILR.

I don't think either me nor Nameless can elaborate more than what our posts already said. You're just gonna have to read them until you get the message.

But on the bright side, there is no public issue now so we can get back to strict RE centric discussion.

Edit: What RE titles have you played MILR? I hope you at least got your hands on RE4.

don't create a mental block for anything with the word 'multiplatform' in it. look at the game itself; is it good? then that's all you need to know whether it is exclusive or not.

I don't mind multiplatform games as long as the studios are willing to spend the MONEY and hire the TALENT it takes to FULLY optimize the game for EACH different console.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

OKAY that's really good to KNOW, I'm glad that we're CLEAR on that I guess it makes SENSE.

[Leedogg]

the only RE game I've played is RE4, but the way you guys are talking I need to play the first three also. So I got a couple questions.

1. With Ashley being the president's daughter, has she be in other RE games? Like to save?

2. Has Leo also been in any other RE game?

[curryking1]

Leon? He was in RE2.

[Z]

you don't really need to play any of the games. most didn't age well. and they have mediocre stories that nobody cares about anyway. with RE, it is all about the game itself. it is one of the pioneering titles that pushed the horror genre back in the day.

if you played RE4, you played RE at its prime. a few years back and I would've told you to play Code Veronica or RE2/3. but that ship has sailed. just look forward to RE5. :)

I'd highly suggest you play RE1 and RE2. Especially RE2, coz it was one of the best games in the RE series with fixed backgrounds. I'd also suggest if you have access to Gamecube, go ahead n get yer hands on RE1-Remake and RE0. RE-remake being the best graphical showpiece from the little ninty cube EVER! I was blown away the first time I saw it. Anyways, RE-3:Nemesis is fast paced and introduced lots of elements including evade. Code Veronica was in a league of its own and fully 3-d compared to previous RE games.

Heck, try em all man. You can get them for dirt cheap if u search for them now. RE series is the main reason I got into console gaming. Before that I got so fed up with home consoles with plumber shit I was like yuck consoles, arcades rock, coz they had the tekkens, the vf's the daytona's, the scud race, time crisis and all. But thank you PS and Resident Evil.

Ok enuff from my memory lane. Go play all RE's, you won't regret it. They mite be a lil awkward to play at this stage of industry progress. But try to go thru it least once. Infact, I'm gonna start playin them myself.

[Z]

I REALLY got depressed when they didn't do a REmake for Nemeses. I really wanted to see one of the best freaks in high-polies. damn you Capcom for getting me excited! guess the REmakes sales were so low they didn't want to bother. serves them right to leave their home turf.

[GTShotoKen]

The only thing Nemesis provided story wise was that the government nuked the city and that umbrella was after every member of the S.T.A.R.S team.

Personally, I would suggest RE1 and Code Verconica if you want to be familiar with story elements that actually carry over to the new games. The G-virus died with RE2 and there isn't much back story for Claire and Leon that needs to be explained for any reason other than curiosity. RE0 as I've heard is only designed for fans in mind to learn the origins of the T virus and not much else.

It's great to play all of them to get a steady time line of things though.

P.S.-Nemesis is a very confusing game to play unless you've played the first two Resident Evil's since it takes place before and after RE2.

[curryking1]

I'm really surprised that RE5 has impressed me graphically, very satisfying visually. Makes me feel super duper. :)

All those crazy zombies-that-aren't-really-zombies chasing you at once! Crazy! XD

This is definitely the pic that convinced me...

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1086/856944701_9ca63b18d8_o.jpg

And ya, if the enemies are a lot quicker than past games, I'd definitely pray for at least some movement while aiming lol. Seems like an obvious evolution or modification from RE4 to 5, have faster, smarter zombies and a more versatile player to manage it :)

[GTShotoKen]

How can you possibly take down a crowd that large? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/donotwant.gif

This game will probably redefine the term "Run & Gun"!!!

[curryking1]

Backpedal.. BACKPEDAL!!! Lol!

You know what though?! I hope it's like that, and like the RE's before the PS2 RE4. I like the awesome action and the killing everything approach, but I'm really wanting a survival horror again! I want to be counting my bullets and debating whether or not to fight or run or how many bullets to spend here and stuff like in RE's 1, 2, 3 and the like.

That feeling that can only be described as the 'O crap! I've just run out of ammo, only 7 bullets left!' feeling is stupidly awesome.

I've been playing RE3 sparingly lately, awesome fun. Squeezing in some FF IX as well :)

frying pan.

[Ice Phoenix]

I'm with Curryking, I like the new run and gun also, but few times have I been scared, worried, creeped out and the like, like in the first ones. I do wish they would put some of the erie paced "O crap I have 7 bullets left." As long as it doesn't turn into a prettier... crap whats that game where you fight all the zombies in the mall, its for the X360. Turn into a prettier one of those with just hordes of mobs coming at you.

[makeitlookreal]

I wonder if Africa will be the main location of the game or if you will be traveling to other locations. It would be interesting to have a game where you are traveling around a lot. For example, lets say he got a sample of genetic material from an infected person in Africa. He may have to rush that sample to a secret lab lets say in a European City which has been overan by creatures infected by the T virus.

[GTShotoKen]

I've never been worried about lack of ammo in any of the resident evil games.

It's just that in the previous ones...you didn't have enough ammo for the gun that made boss fights much easier.

Running out of healing sprays and herbs was common for me in the previous resident evils, which put up the tension alot when you ran out of magnum or shotgun ammo and you had to deal with your weak ass pistol.

Are you sure the G-Virus is gone for good? I could've sworn that in the Wesker Reports, Wesker reveals that his organization somehow got ahold of Sherry Birkin, who as far as I remember had a sample of the G-Virus in her locket.

Sheri dropped the locket and it was taken by Ada in RE2.

She took the G virus sample, but I don't think that it's useful anymore since Wesker is interested in Las Plagas, but I could be wrong.

That could be Sheri Berkin in the pic as far as we know so don't hold me to anything. :)

Edit: I only played the Dreamcast version of Code Veronica so Wesker Reports slipped by me.

In Resident Evil 4 there were a few areas which were tremendously difficult. Other areas seemed a bit too easy. Of course I'm sure it's nice to have a little break now and then I hope RE5 is a little bit more balanced.

Nothing new here, but I thought it would be cool to speculate on what ideas that didn't make it into RE4 that could have been brought over to RE5:

Here's the first ever public showing of RE4 dubbed "The Fog Version":

TjnEkGcvTmA

and here's the one we are used to seeing "The Hooked Man Version":

I know at least Leon's former outfit from the cancelled RE4s was carried over to RE5. Chris' suit is almost a carbon copy of Leon's outfit from the cancelled versions of RE4 except for the Jacket of course.

i have to agree with you. since the game is not coming for some time, i think this is just concept stuff. i guess when we see the full video we will know for sure.

as for the 2 videos above, i wish they would have released the second video version. that was old school resident evil with awesome cinematic presentation. not that i dislike the version we got.

[Nameless]

The 1080P direct feed trailer looks amazing...
It's unfortunate that the game will not be released for until 2009. but the visuals are stunning by today's standards. If the game looks this good on all platforms it makes you wonder why other mutliplatform titles do not look this impressive. *Including DMC4...*

[Z]

color me impressed. very! the crowds are bigger and more ferocious than in RE4.

and I agree with the past notices that Chris's arms look suspiciously bigger wit veins showing in a way that makes me thing he may be mutating or have some special power unlocked later in the game. or maybe he is just a hunk in JPN eyes? lol

[chartwel]

im more gore though............and more anti-aliasing. that said, it does look great. and since the trailer is at 1080p, im guessing that means 1 more 1080p game in the future.

time and getting aquanted with the new tools. DMC4 is releasing in a few months. RE5 won't be out till late next year. that is why it looks on a different level than their previous games.

this game screams new generation. I put it amongst the top titles that define this generation and why we got these new systems. :thumbl:

If the game looks this good on all platforms it makes you wonder why other mutliplatform titles do not look this impressive. *Including DMC4...*To be honest, I think the trailer was not real time footage from either platform, although I'm sure it will end up looking pretty much like that and it surely used in-game assets.

DMC4 has a very different art style and will probably run at twice the frame rate as I don't see RE5 hitting 60 fps looking the way it does. Both games can't look similar.

[Nameless]

^ If the footage from the trailer is not real time that's a damn good job of making the ingame cinemas look just like gameplay moments from RE4. I'm confident a large portion of the footage was actual gameplay if you look at the camera angles and gameplay senarios. It looks like the game will play very similar to RE4 with a few new moves thrown in.

[VG Aficionado]

Well, I really hope it will feature a lot more changes and gameplay additions, because I don't want more of the same no matter how good I think RE4 is. Since it's taking them so long to release it and it definitely has a huge budget, I'd expect Capcom to introduce many innovations in the series just like Kojima Productions is going all out with MGS4. However, I'm afraid the game won't feel too fresh and that the storyline will blow.

Not that I want to judge it before it is released, but that's what I'm expecting. I hope to be wrong.

[chartwel]

if it was real time gameplay then they must have added in the aliasing just to fool people...........................

[VG Aficionado]

I didn't see any aliasing, and I doubt the game will have jaggies in the end as pretty much only the shitty multiplatform games are still jaggy on either platform by now. What makes me suspect it was not real time were the proper soft shadows, something I've got yet to see in either PS3 or 360.

If it really looked like that already, I doubt they wouldn't release it next year.

[Z]

maybe they retouched some of the unfinished aspects to be presentable. in any case, the gameplay shouldn't be noticeably different from the trailer. :)

wow, seriously. man, the jaggies are everywhere. it especially apparent in the 1080p psn video, but the 720p one has them as well. that means gameplay for sure. dont get me wrong though, im loving the way it looks. and over a year left for development.

[VG Aficionado]

Well, some things seemed aliased, but I'm not sure whether I'd call them jaggied and a lossy video isn't the best way to determine whether they're that bad or not. The gameplay itself was jaggies-free, as far as I could see.

[GTShotoKen]

I'm downloading the vid now...oh I can't wait to see the evil that awaits!!!

[yoshaw]

The 1080p version available on PSN is an upscaled 720p video. Those who claim jaggies over it can rest easy knowing that the vid is jaggied ONLY because it got upscaled. 1080p is not The Native res of the game, 720p is. Go for that version.

[GTShotoKen]

Well I still enjoyed the 1080p version. There weren't many jaggies that I could notice.

Man oh man that trailer was amazing!!! The sheer intensity and number of characters onscreen was amazing. Not to mention that it look beautiful too.

I'm starting to think personally that the "new" feature to the RE4 control formula is a dodge and counter mechanic. There was a scene where one of the enemies swung and axe at Chris, but Chris ducked the attack.

The sounds given from the man that was infected made it seem like there was something moving inside of him getting closer to his brain. Could it be a new form of Las Plagas?

Also, I think the mysterious woman in the trailer is either Rebecca or Sheri Berkin. I don't think it could be anyone else.

was rebecca blonde? i cannot remember. i definitely think this will be sherry's reappearance. we know Wesker has her, and Wesker will be in this game. seems to make more sense to me anyways.

[GTShotoKen]

No Rebecca wasn't blond, which really pushed me away from her in the first place, but ShadowVoa believes that it might be Rebecca so I'm not gonna rule her out.

[yoshaw]

I'd say it's Sherry Berkins and given how Capcom producers were like She's the epitome of RE5 story.

I'd say that she's continuing the research from her Parents and took it into Africa. I'd insist that she's one of the bad characters/bosses in the final videogame and behind all the hoopla spreading in Africa where Chris is at.

It's just speculation. But seeing the female behind a glass tube filled with liquid only brings back memories of Tyrants filled up in liquid glass containers to the max. And that only happened in laboratories in previous RE games. I have a hunch that Sherry is followin in her parents footsteps or something and in the process, may have perfected the virus to keep the infected human. As well as, in the end, maybe infect herself too, hence opening eyes in a glass tube.

My 2 cents.

[GTShotoKen]

Don't forget Alexia...she was put herself in a glass tubed, suspended in weird liquid, to help the incubation of the T Veronica virus (she was also blond).

Anyways, I don't really see Sherry Berkins becoming an evil character. I thought in the last interview that the mysterious woman shown would aid Chris?

[Kiosko]

I have a feeling it's Sherry to but after Resident Evil i just wonder why she's doing this.

[GTShotoKen]

Pinch me...

Or at least give me one of those Chris Redfield punches to the face, FUCK YEAH!!!

:lol:

I have to agree. The trailer makes it seem like you will be constantly overwhelmed by these infected populous.

I have to say again though that Chris' arms are huge as FUCK!!! When that one dude got punched he went flying.

[Shadow Voa]

Yeah I know, I couldnt stop looking at his arms thinking, "Damn 10 years as been good to Chris".

Ok but down to business...

This trailer does a number of things for me, shows gameplay though this isnt anything new, counterattacks are however new and more then one kind is available to Chris depending on the circumstance it seems.

Also, number of enemies has exceeded my intial expectations. It appears Chris will be overwhelmed at times with over 20+ enemies out to kill him. Very intense! His voice, says more then I think people realize. I had original thoughts the BSAA mightve been under bad control making Chris an enemy. But judging from what he says this isnt the case, which is good to know.

The girl, shes incapsulated. Kinda like Alexia was? Get my drift. Since RE2 and RE5 have a 10 year time lapse between them, makes you wonder what happened to Sherry. After all, the trailer clearly shows a blonde headed young girl. So Jill, Claire and Rebecca dont fit the bill. Doesnt rule them out, but Sherry seems more and more likely. Has she been experimented on?

[GTShotoKen]

If she had been experimented on...do you think they would have used the G-virus?

Alexia was encapsulated in order to incubate the T-veronica virus so it would actually mutate her instead of outright killing her.

If it is sherry and she was infected with something, does her encapsulation and awakening mean the particular virus used has been perfected. Does she have superhuman abilities without losing her humanity?

[chartwel]

alexia is dead. Wesker got a hold of sherry so thats obviously why she is in the tube, if you ask me. i doubt she would start where her parents left off willingly.

[NickSCFC]

How big have Chris Redfield's arms gone!

Have to say the trailer looks stunning, it's all in-game I reckon, notice how the enemies aren't as detailed (like in RE4). This is the best looking next-gen game by far!

[Shadow Voa]

Well considering it took Alexia 10 years to awaken as well. I think we are seeing a common trend from Capcom. Ten years since RE2, ten years for Alexia to wake up.

My thoughts, Sherry was taken against her will and experimented on, possibly with the G-virus, though most assume it died off after RE2. Could be T-Veronica that's being used on Sherry. With no Claire to jump start her memories, Sherry could now be completed and ready for testing...

alexia is dead. Wesker got a hold of sherry so thats obviously why she is in the tube, if you ask me. i doubt she would start where her parents left off willingly.

Ugh yeah... I know Alexia is dead. Also the rest I mentioned above and in my original post. :)

[GTShotoKen]

alexia is dead. Wesker got a hold of sherry so thats obviously why she is in the tube, if you ask me. i doubt she would start where her parents left off willingly.

I never said Alexia was alive did I?

Anyways, there has to be more to this. Wesker isn't just gonna capture Sherry and throw her in a tube for no reason. She's already been cured of the G virus and the virus itself had nothing to do with her DNA. Ada already captured the sample of the virus so they have to ability to use it on anyone they please. I don't see why Sherry holds any significance for being captured or experimented on.

Also, why would they need Las Plagas?

Edit: When it comes to the T-Veronica virus I don't think that it was used on on Sherry because Wesker already deemed it inferior, and Steve already has it so there's no use to use it on Sherry.

The methods Alexia used to incubate the virus for 10 years might have been taken in account for the G-virus to be more effective?

So many questions that have yet to be answered.

Reasons for why they might use the Las Plagas angle (not the parasite itself) is for the simple fact it proved effective. They are basically Berserker zombies with increased intelligence and thought processes, minus the whole need to feed aspect of zombies.

Also, it is to be noted this virus can be spread.
Ex. When Chris enters the room to find the 2 men holding the other down forcing something for his consumption. What is it? We dont know, but it's result is blood exiting from the eyes followed by convulsions and viola... we have a seemingly insane maniac whose sole purpose is to kill anyone not under the influence of this virus.

So you take the G-Virus and mix it or experiment on it with this "Berserker" formula in mind and that would make your "super soliders" a hell of a lot more effective.

Plus, almost forgot to mention, if they can return from the dead as well after being killed in their "1st form" then the ramifications could be intense. These Berserkers are killed much like Crimson Heads... but then they return reanimated and more pissed off. Very interesting!

[TEEDA]

I think they did an amazing job rendering the muscles, it s far the most realistic muscles i' ve seen properly rendered, by far the best since Fight Night IMO.

FALCON...PAAAANCH!!! Show me your moves!

[LiquidEagle]

:lol: I like how that guy's pitchfork suddenly goes into his left hand in that gif

All-in-all the game looks fantastic, but Chris's stubble is no match for Snake's 'stache

[yoshaw]

Resident Evil and MGS are the reasons why I became a videogame enthusiast. My friends, who I got addicted to videogames, their parents still curse me to this day cuz I showed their kids RE1 and MGS1.

LOL :lol:

I have 3 games in the world I can't live without! Now I have 3 reasons to live :laugh:

RE5 , MGS4 and FF-XIII

period

[chartwel]

Well considering it took Alexia 10 years to awaken as well. I think we are seeing a common trend from Capcom. Ten years since RE2, ten years for Alexia to wake up.

My thoughts, Sherry was taken against her will and experimented on, possibly with the G-virus, though most assume it died off after RE2. Could be T-Veronica that's being used on Sherry. With no Claire to jump start her memories, Sherry could now be completed and ready for testing...



Ugh yeah... I know Alexia is dead. Also the rest I mentioned above and in my original post. :)

ugh yeah... i never said you did. same goes to gaming guru. please read my post. just stating my opinion like everybody else.

No one's getting angry at you chartwel.

You can't really blame us when we were talking about Alexia then your next post begins with "alexia is dead." :lol:

I disagree with you Jay Gee...that's more of a Warlock punch to me.

Chris redefines the term "cock-diesel"!!!

Yeah...It's CHRIS REDFIELD BITCH!!!

Edit: Damn, I wish I could somehow make this into a sig....:(

[Shadow Voa]

I love how he not only repels his attacker but has to get his point across, "Get youre damn hands off of me bitch!"

I mean damn, if I was attacking Chris and he damn well knocked my friends head off, Id be jumping off that bridge then messing with his "guns".

[LaLiLuLeLo]

so cool.

the latest blog entry confirms that it was all gameplay, for those thinking otherwise in the earlier pages.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

People thinking otherwise. Pfft. People are just afraid to be impressed by anything these days.

[GTShotoKen]

Even the animations in this game are extremely impressive. That motion blur the framework engine uses really makes everything look very dramatic too.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Yeah, the motion blur it uses is nice. But I think MGS4's is equal or greater than.

[GTShotoKen]

Yeah, the motion blur
