I'm glad to see some new media on RE5.

I'm also glad to see that Chris is as cockdiesel as ever still...:lol:

[VG Aficionado]

Very nice :)

[cliffbo]

if this is anything like 4 i'm in!

Old thread had expired/had been locked.

15 New screenshots and what could possibly be a playable female character?

Threads merged :cowboy:

Damn you and your Clint Eastwood act :cowboy:

[chrismt]

Pretty realistic in some pics, wonder if it's in-game.

[Transcend]

I can easily envision this new female character having a fate similar to Luis Serra.

Jill needs to return!

[chartwel]

the new trailer is almost upon us. cant wait to see how they have tailored things since we last saw the game. i have no doubts its made huge advancements.

[GTShotoKen]

I still wanna know what that new play mechanic is supposed to be. I'm guessing it's gonna have something to do with crowd control?

[chartwel]

I still wanna know what that new play mechanic is supposed to be. I'm guessing it's gonna have something to due with crowd control?

well they have said they are adding a sort of hand to hand combat system that is much more diverse than RE4, not to mention how entering dark rooms will be used in terms of getting attacked. i think this will generally be a scarier game than the last because of how they are saying they are using light in that aspect. this one is gonna have action and scares.

[hybridofsteel]

Wow, this is easily the best looking game after Crysis. Real Magicians at Capcom.

I can only hope now that this won't be an all out action fest and still retain some survival horror aspects.

[Passive]

Oh my bad, didnt see yoshaws thread. Sorry.

[Gummy]

he's so fucking buff.

ahh creepy zombies

[dork]

are they zombies or creepy nutcases like in RE4?

Resident Evil 5 Trailer to debut on GameTrailers TV
by Steve Wysowski May 15th 2008 4:01 PM EDT0 Comments

Following up last weekend's Gears of War 2 gameplay debut, GameTrailersTV will be showcasing a brand new Resident Evil 5 trailer this Friday Night (or Saturday if you live out on the West Coast). Not much is known concerning the amount of of footage that will be released or what we'll actually be seeing. I personally doubt any gameplay will be shown; I'm pretty sure that Capcom has something like that lined up for E3.

So circle this date on your calendar: Friday, May 30th at 1AM ET/PT. There will be punch and pie.

[GTShotoKen]

I hope it's a 30 minute vid of Chris pumping iron and injecting steroids directly into his biceps.

The video should then end with Capcom revealing that the new gameplay mechanic/horror focus of franchise is watching Chris get more and more cockdiesel as the game progresses.

Capcom will have to drop the mixed herb mechanic with live babies to sustain Chris' muscular physic!!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/tuzi04.gif

[VG Aficionado]

If only it meant it'll be released this year. Hopefully next year.

[Segitz]

Well, RE4 didn't have too many trailers either, before its release... maybe Capcom will follow the same concept again (as RE4 sold quite well).

I also think, RE5 is QUITE far into its development (thinking it started right after RE4 was finished on the NGC (the PS2 port was pisspoor, so I doubt the core Capcom devs did it...). RE4 was released early 2005, which would give them 3.5 year, if they released RE5 this winter. (wiki states Jun Takeuchi as producer, who also produced Lost Planet... this would cut RE5s development short, BUT since I think RE5 will use the same engine, it was basically what Table Tennis was to GTA4...)

The trailer at E3 '07 showed the game already in a quite advanced state, so a 2008 release isn't completely out of line... (a must buy for me, actually... since there's not too much after MGS4 this year for me... remember, not much of a fps gamer here... LBP maybe)

Co-op included:

If it wasn’t for the new features the game would read like a massive re-skinning job, but thanks to the inclusion of God Hand’s dodging abilities and a fully integrated online co-op story there’s enough on the new features front to avoid those damning accusations of cashing in on the same idea.

Or should we say maternal? It all depends on whether you’re Player Two or not. Joining Chris’ fight is a new female character. Now that Chris has a partner he needs to keep in constant touch. He has both a Bluetooth headset (and phone) and a walkie-talkie; one is for chatting with the female mercenary and the other for speaking to the outside BSAA contact, Metal Gear Solid codec style. Currently nameless, the mercenary’s inclusion means that, for the first time, you’ll be able to tackle a true Resident Evil game co-operatively online. Like Gears, the entirety of Resident Evil 5 features jump in/jump out gameplay with the AI taking over the reigns of our mysterious female mercenary when you’re playing alone.http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/resident-evil-5/preview/resident-evil-5/a-20080521155013307049/g-2005138888000000020757

[Z]

this game looks too good to be true. I don't care what it does or doesn't, something that pretty can flow on looks alone.

[GTShotoKen]

The extreme lighting and texture work combined with some interesting motion blur really gives the impression of a painting in still shots.

Edit: God Hand Dodging Mechanic and online co-op!!!! woot woot!!!

[Hisham]

If it hits stores in 2008, it may be my GOTY for this year. This game is probably my most anticipated single player game so far, this gen.

[Gummy]

Holy shit... sweet chainsaw.

REALLY??

I beg to differ^^ MGS4 says so (well, MGO "is" a different game^^) :D

[Leedogg]

RE 5 is lookin awesome, that pic with the guy's eyes sticking out is freaky

[GTShotoKen]

I think that was done on purpose...:lol:

[Hisham]

REALLY??

I beg to differ^^ MGS4 says so (well, MGO "is" a different game^^) :D

While story in MGS games are always great, gameplay doesn't always follow suit IMO. RE5 will probably be more fun to play, atleast from what I have played from previous MGS games vs. RE4. They always have top of the line story telling, but you can tell sometimes the gameplay isn't up to snuff. Again, this is my opinion tho, so no need to jump on me.

However this is just an educated guess because the MGS4 is looking to be the best game in the series, both story and gameplay wise, so I am not saying anything certain. Just from what I have seen before, I am pretty sure I will have more fun playing RE5, and spend more time on the story of MGS4... In the end, my GOTY is about the game I had the most fun with, and that will probably be RE5.

Just saying.

[Jay Gee]

Gotta disagree with this one, Hisham. Leon still handled like a tank in RE4. The over the shoulder camera made things better, without a doubt, but he stilled moved fairly slowly. This was a hindrance during some of the boss battles, and whenever you got surrounded by too many enemies. Chris doesn't seem to move any faster, so I'm expecting more of the same in RE5.

Well, no hard feelings^^ It's (as always) a matter of taste, and I always preferred MGS to RE (although I liked all canon (and CVX) RE games pretty much).

But Goty will surely go to GTA4 and we are both f*cked with our predictions^^

[yoshaw]

RE and MGS are both great games in their own respective universes. Comparing them is to generate only a moot point IMO. Not that it's not viable in the context of Hisham's opinion. Just saying that both are world's apart in terms of story and delivering gameplay. Both are epic experiences nonetheless!

[Jay Gee]

GTAIV doesn't deserve GOTY. It just doesn't. San Andreas using the Table Tennis engine would've suited me better than what I got. Hell, I can't even like Niko anymore because the actor who did the voice work and mo-cap is all butthurt because the game did well and he only got 100k for the whole affair.

This is true. They will both be excellent games regardless of personal preference.

The roody poo jabrony trying to make an apples to apples comparison between RE and MGS is gonna get rock-bottomed.

Maybe he thought he was Niko, cuz you know how niko likes heavy cash.


I think the guy deserved more than 100k man, seriously.

[Hisham]

Hey, I just said this game is probably gonna be my GOTY (single player wise). Segitz is the one who said MGS4 is probably gonna be his.

And discussion is great. Although comparing them was going of on a bit of a tangent.

[Jay Gee]

He should've done his homework on the GTA franchise before settling for a measly 100k.

[Z]

Capcom just released a list of their best sellers (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10630&Itemid=2). I always thought megaman or SF would be their biggest seller, but it actually turned out to be the RE series! wow!

[yoshaw]

^Ofcourse It was RE. I bought 200,000 copies of those when I was a millionaire but then I went broke shortly afterwards. Something had happened wrong with my account. Apparently, my bank statement had an item that I didn't need as much. I still wonder what it was hmmmm.

[Z]

lol, talk about a game so awesome you had to buy two of. but this ij just not healthy. lol

[Segitz]

The new Website of RE5 went up...

http://residentevil.com/

The countdown ends in ~21:11hrs (by now tomorrow)... If this game gets released in '08, I am... overly impressed :D I'd like to see a new RE canon game!

[VG Aficionado]

That would be the surprise of the year. Even the developers themselves commented that they weren't in a hurry at all, and that they would delay it as much as they could to do it right.

[Z]

didn't Capcom's Japanese financial report, or something, show RE5 being listed for this year?

I think the official site's countdown is for the launchof the site itself. we may get new pics and what not though, though honestly, I don't care and I won't watch anything new from that game anymore. they got me at TGS 06. enough said.

[tolkyn]

My guess for the countdown

New Resident Evil 5 trailer soon, says Famitsu
May 14th, 2008 @ 15:02


The latest issue of Famitsu has promised a new trailer of Resident Evil 5 “in the very near future,” according to this NeoGaf post. Apparently the art posted earlier today is from the first part of the video. No specific timing’s been given.

http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/14/new-resident-evil-5-trailer-soon-says-famitsu/

I wouldn't mind seeing a giant boss. that and I am a huge Whisker fan! show him doing something awesome like what he did in Code veronica!

Although, I REALLY preferred Hunk and Krauser in Mercenaries... I really loved Hunk... Grenades and MP for the win!!

Those capcom disney games sold well... I wonder why capcom hasn't made any more Aladdin games or something. It could work sorta like Prince of Persia haha.

lol. burning eyes from lack of sleep + typing real fast in the dark = clumsy spelling. ;p
Those capcom disney games sold well... I wonder why capcom hasn't made any more Aladdin games or something. It could work sorta like Prince of Persia haha.

maybe they lost licensing? but I don't think Disney gives one license to all it's properties. does anyone know of another jap dev that makes Disney games other than SE with kingdom hearts?

[the boney king of nowhere.]

so that countdown amounted to nothing, but i found this on another forum. apparently it's some code from the server running the page.

<config>
<endDate>2008/05/31</endDate>
<endTime>21:30:00</endTime>
<startDate>2008/05/24</startDate>
<startTime>17:30:00</startTime>

so, may 31st, 21:30 GMT?

Trailer Debut on the 30th!

RESIDENT EVIL 5 WORLD PREMIERE on GTTV!

A few weeks ago I hinted about a major exclusive set for GTTV in between Gears of War (which aired last week) and Resistance 2 on June 13. Now I can let the cat out of the bag: The new trailer for RESIDENT EVIL 5 will exclusively premiere on the May 30th episode of GameTrailers TV. While you’ve seen quick glimpses of the game before, including a great trailer for E3 2007 (incidentally one of the most downloaded trailers ever on GT), this is your first chance to see the gameplay in an extensive trailer that will blow you away. Also look out for some major hints about the story. RE5 is one of the most anticipated games of all time and we’re proud to be working with Capcom to globally debut this trailer in high-definition. This is an episode you can’t afford to miss!

In the meantime make sure to watch this Friday’s show for another massive exclusive – the world premiere of the first trailer for RED ALERT 3 from our friends at Electronic Arts We’re also world premiering brand new gameplay from DEAD SPACE, one of the most promising games in EA’s lineup.

Now that we’ve announced Gears, Resistance and RE5 world exclusives, which other games would you like to see premiere on the show? Let me know. We have a lot of great things planned between now and E3!http://geoffmk.gametrailers.com/game...blog&id=297968

Resident Evil 5 dated
Amazon.com has announced a release date for Resident Evil 5, the latest in Capcom’s popular survival horror series, . Resident Evil 5 has us once again suiting up as Chris Redfield, the protagonist from Resident Evil 1 and Code Veronica. Taking place in Africa, RE5 marks the first entry in the series that will feature a cooperative story mode, as well as a revamped cover and dodge system, amongst other innovations.

Despite recent rumors that RE5 could be out as early as November, it has been tentatively dated for March 10, 2009, available for the PS3 and XBox 360. Expect more information this week, following the release of a new trailer on the 31.

[dnpmakkah]

Looks really really fun doesn't it?

[TheGreenElf]

Looks like crap.
















No honestly, it looks good, and although I loved RE4, it looks like it hasn't changed much aside from the graphics. The movement and control style, the enemies and their movements (hell the way some of them 'slid' across the ground after an explosion, that is still present), the head that changes into a parasite, the chainsaw dude with a bag on his head...I hope we aren't just getting some character and location swaps and calling it a sequel.

[dnpmakkah]

^ I agree that they use the same formula, but look how long it took them to come up with something new for RE4. It's a long hard process to re-invent but in the meantime I hope this turns out good.

[NickSCFC]

WOW!

Games > Movies

[Passive]

Man that looked really intense. So can't wait for this =D

[yoshaw]

Aside from the mega-awesome trailer. That chick in the end is hot!!

[Sephiroth_VII]

Wow, they went with Africa after all... Can't wait for this now :hugegrin:

[Z]

I loved how you were fending off a guy then a freaking octopus think comes out of his mouth and french-kisses you! it reminds me of when my mother-in-law comes to visit.


awesome shit! ...the game I mean, not my mother-in-law visits.

[VG Aficionado]

^=-o

Awesome trailer. It got me actually excited, but I still need a release date.

[hybridofsteel]

Incredible. Capcom are magicians. They should seriously teach Microsoft and Sony's studios a thing or two about making games for their own systems. RE5 literally puts every first party title to shame.

[Kiosko]

I loved the new trailer and contrary to belief(gamefaqs post) the new Character DOESN'T look like Rihanna. To me she looks more like Jada Pinkett Smith. The new virus looks intense. I love how they just open and close up anytime on the face instead of you shooting their head off then them popping off. And did you see those dogs! Very realistic and very scary. The new chainsaw guy is tight. He sawed through that metal gate!! And I like the new characters voice. Very natural. "Welcome to Africa." Lets hope we don't have to wait too long!

[Z]

Sony has some of the best tech in the industry, but capcom has some of the best gameplay. if only those two can spend a night together!

[Nameless]

It will be interesting to see how much they actually evolve the gameplay, because currently it's looks very similiar to RE4 from a gameplay perspective...
Since we have seen very little this could be a poor assumption, but I hope they evolve the gameplay.

BTW the new female character is very sexy and a welcomed addition to the title. The little girl in RE4 made you feel like a pervert if you looked too hard... LOL!

[Z]

by the way, the punches in this game has to be one of the most satisfying in gaming! I love how they are done. :)

[Z]

sometimes the success of a previous game actually halts how much you can evolve it the next time around in fear of turning off your new fan addition. but we'll see. we all like to see more, but even when sticking with the RE4 formula, that doesn't actually mean a bad thing either. ;)

[Segitz]

Did anybody else get the slight feeling, they were inspired by Blade 2 with their monster design?

[OG_Monkey]

Just seen that new trailer, OMFG! Game of the year? Man!

[GodMachine_Iridius_Dio]

Asploding hedz and the chainsaw dude with a bag on his head...I hope we aren't just getting some character and location swaps and calling it a sequel.

First part is understandable - The organisms afflicting these people are obviously the same type as the ones afflicting the populace in RE4, or at the very least, very closely related to them.

As for "Chainsaw Man", I kind of always figured he was probably in an incredibly advanced state of mutation (horribly disfigured due to the parasite), ultra-sensitive to light (because the parasite was probably already exploding from the insides of his skull) so he ramains masked and fully covered constantly... He's probably in a great deal of pain, possibly losing his humanity (maybe already lost it), possibly becoming little more than a soulless, hungry abomination - Probably very ferral. Probably not very bright, single-minded, goal-driven... smart enough to know he wants to consume you if it means ripping you apart to quell his booming pain and guttless hunger, and probably smart enough to hold a deadly item long enough to do it. A chainsaw is a mighty damned fine weapon for kicking ass and taking names, so the choice is obvious, but the question here is where'd he get it? Bet they chop down lots of trees in Sub-Saharran Africa, so this part's still a mystery to me. But as to durability (bastard was tough!!) he's probably either in too great a state of shock for it to matter much any more, in too much pain already, or so strong due to the mutation that it only serves to really piss him off - Possibly even both.

Did anybody else get the slight feeling, they were inspired by Blade 2 with their monster design?

I have to wonder if they were both a little inspired by John Carpenter's "The Thing". The whole "multi-mandible" idea seems derived from the eating habbits of octopus, squid, and the mandibular/proboscis structures of various insects, leaches and other parasites.

Incredible. Capcom are magicians. They should seriously teach Microsoft and Sony's studios a thing or two about making games for their own systems. RE5 literally puts every first party title to shame.

I think that's taking it a bit far...yeah it'll be good, but so far, nothing is really known from the gameplay other than it's going to be very similar to RE4...which put everything else to shame in 2004, but not so much nowadays. Hopefully they can further tweak it and perfect it considering all the time they spend on it.

[Hisham]

I don't think any first party title right now looks better than this game after seeing that trailer. Maybe KZ2 (it is first party right?), but we'll wait and see when it comes out.

And I've heard they are include a God Hand esque dodge mechanic, which will probably make the character way more maneuverable then in RE4.

[GTShotoKen]

This game really look unbelieveable in its current state.

I'm definitely counting on that God-Hand mechanic because the number of people you are gonna have to face at one time is looking very ridiculous.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Hisham it does look sick but I don't think it outclasses KZ2. Not even kidding.

[TheGreenElf]

I don't know, I mean, I'm not going to tell you that it doesn't look better than any game, because it looks excellent. Just not seeing enough yet to drop my jaw. I'll definitely preorder this though at first chance though. The girl looks like Michelle Rodriguez from the first RE movie though...

[Z]

I think the chainsaw character was brought bakc due to popular demand. also, why do people refer to him as if he was supposed to be only one character? I look at him as another manifestation condition. by that, multiple ones can exist.
LOL Dude, I seriously hope your wife/fiance don't read this forum. You're dead meat otherwise or be sleeping on the couch for a loooong time. haha :cheers: to the mother in law woes.

[chartwel]

i would feel a little more comfortable if i had seen some video of a ps3 version..........

[NickSCFC]

With graphics like that, would anyone be bothered about a PS4?

[NickSCFC]

PS, can someone make me a GIF of that guy being beaten on the floor after Chris says "I knew it from the moment I arrived"

[Passive]

why did you ps? :P click edit post next time. saves the double post.

and yeah those visuals are pretty swish but the gameplay seems the same. =[

[GTShotoKen]

After watching the video interview on Gametrailers, I'm guessing the advanced dodging mechanics are only a rumor.

I'm pretty happy though that alot of the story introduced throughout the games will be wrapped up in this one.

[Jay Gee]

Hisham it does look sick but I don't think it outclasses KZ2. Not even kidding.
Agreed. And we've still yet to see anything from the new KZ2 trailer in direct feed. But make no mistake, Resident Evil 5 looks fucking SICK. The best looking 3rd party game so far. COD4, take a fucking hike.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

:laugh: hahahahaha man that was harsh/hilarious :laugh:
I agree with you though. :thumbl:

[KRA]

animations aren't that great in new trailer.
i don't know why everyone goes crazy about animation/graphics
i didn't lose my jaw. although it will be nice to play in re4 with better graphics.
i don't like animation system it looks not so good.
for example at 1.13 in the trailer chris is shooting with machine gun and no one really reacts.
animation...colison bullet detection looks so old gen. hope i am wrong.
but i think that in many ways it will be not so fresh game.
the greaphics looks fine but better than killzone2 ?
i think many of you are decived by very nice art style :)

[Red_Eyes]

Texture resolution isn't so high. It looks good because of the art style and the shaders.

[cliffbo]

this game looks as good as MGS! i'm hoping they go for multi disks on the 360 version because i would hate it to have repeated textures and be very short

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Texture resolution isn't so high. It looks good because of the art style and the shaders.

Yeah I noticed that, although I don't think 'shaders' applies here.(?) But the high contrast lighting and filters on the visuals have a lot to do with it for sure.

[masteratt]

It's the geometry of the triangles and the shading of the processing of the light that makes it look nice.

[Hisham]

The character models are great though.

[jaxmkii]

wouldn't have anything to do with DVD-9?... would it?

[Segitz]

wouldn't have anything to do with DVD-9?... would it?

I doubt that... at least to some degree... It's rather the mere 512MB of RAM both "next-gen" consoles have, when my PC had 2GB a year earlier... (this still pisses me off... Sony should have at least doubled the RAM!!! SUCKERS :D)

[Sephiroth_VII]

I would gladly accept that argument if I hadn't played Uncharted.

[OmniCloud]

I think that's taking it a bit far...yeah it'll be good, but so far, nothing is really known from the gameplay other than it's going to be very similar to RE4...which put everything else to shame in 2004, but not so much nowadays. Hopefully they can further tweak it and perfect it considering all the time they spend on it.I must concur...

It's ok to be excited about one of your favorite games though;) I feel you...

On a serious note, RE5 looks awesome, not revolutionary...

I think something like God of War/Team Ico will have a better shot at really doing some amazing things in the graphical department personally...

When is Re5 coming out anyway? Definitely is a buy...

[jaxmkii]

I would gladly accept that argument if I hadn't played Uncharted.

well, you know they wont so, meh

[jaxmkii]

RE4 + multiplatform = Meh

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Man Resident Evil hasn't been single platform since the PSone. Get with it.

[The Wolf 07]

yea lol i was about to say RE4 was on the cube and ps2

[Segitz]

Well, RE4 on the GC was multidisc... so, we "could" get one here too... I doubt it, but Capcom is willing to go the distance

And correct, not a single RE game was ever exclusive... all PS1 ones came to the PC shortly after...

[LaLiLuLeLo]

PC doesn't count. :P

[Segitz]

PC doesn't count. :P

That's what Microsoft wants you to think...

But it just isn't true... In Countries like Germany, PC gaming is still king...

Well, afaik RE1 was never (except on the PC) ported to anything... but 2-CVX all hit the GC nearly unaltered. Some went to the N64 (dunno if Nemisis did) etc...

RE0 was never ported to anything else too, afaik. But I don't consider that one "canon". (same with the PS2 Outbreaks... which pissed me off actually, because except for RE4 in the PS2s later years, there was no RE game...)

[Hisham]

RE0 is canon though. Well, canon to the numerical RE games (with the inclusion of Code Veronica).

The events that take place there have no direct contradiction anywhere else, and from what has been told, it is a pretty good telling of those events.

And it was a great game too. If you haven't played it, you should.

[Segitz]

My brother has it, but I haven't played it yet completely (only the very beginning)... dunno if I can or want to play it nowadays... I still didn't finish CVX, although I bought it... 6 years ago :D

[Hisham]

Haha, it took me awhile to play though all the RE games before 4 (but 6 years, seriously.)

Anyways, the official word on the storyline is, RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3, RECVX, and RE4 (following Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon and Wesker basically). There is also an overlap concerning RE3 because it starts off taking place before RE2, and while Jill is knocked out for a couple of days, that is when RE2 happens.

Apperantly the survivor and outbreak games are canon too, but they have no bearing over the storyline set in the rest of the games (mainly because none of the main chracters make an appearance), so you don't have to play them because the story will probably stay seperated from the main storyline.

[Segitz]

Man, RE3 was soooo bad, it took me months to bring myself to finish it...

I was nearly thru CVX, but my memory card formatted itself (or rather needed to be formatted, because the PS2 couldn't read it anymore), and I had to start over, which I wasn't willing to do at the time.

The biggest problem is, that all RE games except CVX and 4 are "banned" in Germany, and thus very hard to get (they cannot be sold on Ebay and the like and a normal Gamestop usually doesn't care those games either). I still have 1 and 2 for the PC though.

And with canon, I meant what you said (following Chris' et al stories).


JILL SANDWICH!!

[MasaC]

You guys have seen the new trailer of RE5 on the Japanese Playstation Store?

[Jay Gee]

Man, what the hell is up with Capcom making these chicks with noasitol? I mean, that's even flatter for your standard Japanese woman, and they have a gross lack of posterior. But this...this is on a whole nother level of bleh. The worst part about it, they might even have a scene where she walks away and they use the camera to place emphasis on her non-existant ass. I can't believe these guys went to Africa and didn't catch a single glimpse of motherland booty.

*smh* @ Capcom. Not a good way to follow up after Trish, Lady, and Gloria.

[Media]

It's probably because at some point characters are supposed to be characters, and not eye-candy.

[Hisham]

Plus, they have there artist who likes thick women working on SF4.

[Z]

no, he simply said the original artist drew Chun Li with big legs to compensate her being a women and therefore weaker than a male. she was also the only female in the game. keep in mind this is the old days of gaming art. when the stupid American interviewer asked the new guy, he said he didn't want to make any drastic changes and thus kept true to all the original designs and concepts. the ignorant yank even asked him if he knew the other ignorant yank that has a fetish with fat chicks. the ST guy simply said; I am not familiar with that name.
fucking idiot interviewer; he bloody said he was keeping with the traditional design and the idiot yank still went with the questions. sheesh! sometimes I want to just knock on these people's doors and when they answer I give them the worst sucker punch they ever had. it'll be worse than all the wedgies they got in highschool. fucking idiots!

[Z]

I wish more games did that. one of the few examples out there is the Silent Hill series. you feel the characters are real and not all supermodels or bald space marines with steroids blowing out their asses- that's before some amateur yank idiot studio took over it and made all the nurses into DDD porn stars that the player won't be scared of the as he should. rather, he'll chance them down and hump them till he gets killed- over and over and over again. fucking disgraceful.

RE5 will still have that for the main characters, sadly. but at least the 'infected' won't tempt you to hump them.

I am not talking about Akiman (orignal artist for Street Fighter II)... I am talking about Ikeno... He is the one who orginally designed the 3rd Strike Chun Li to be a lot thicker than the orginal SFII Chun Li.

He is the character designer in SF4 too.

Whether or not he has a fetish for it, I don't know, but he is the one who orginally made Chun Li, go from this:

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CAPPOD/SF006~Street-Fighter-Chun-Li-Posters.jpg
And this:
http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/sf-chunliold.gif

To this:

http://capcom-town.es/__oneclick_uploads/2008/04/0422chunli1.jpg
And this:
http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/chn3.gif

Now from the sprites, I hope you can see the difference, but in the picture it should be easy to see. I can't find any SFIII artwork by Ikeno, (google turns up all SF4 artwork by him), but I imagine being art director on SFIII was also a reason for Chun's thighs being bigger.

Seriously though, I have just freaked myself out while typing this... Why the fuck do I know so much about this topic haha.

I can see it now. All those peoples going to complain about how much more racist RE5 has become.

Before:
White man comes to Africa, see that Africa is having a big problem, notice that every man has become "savage" with no "humanity", and promptly solve the problem by blowing them all to pieces.

After Capcom attempted to fix the racism by introducing an African woman as one of the main character:
White man comes to Africa, see that Africa is having a big problem, notice that every man has become "savage" with no "humanity", promptly solve the problem by blowing them all to pieces, AND TAKING THEIR BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

LOL.

Elaborate for me.

[Jay Gee]

Why have a woman pose with her backside exposed if she has none? It's obvious that sex appeal has something to do with it, otherwise we'd get pictures that didn't mean to accentuate her form.

Basically, if you're gonna give me a back shot, make sure there's something back there to begin with.

[OG_Monkey]

this man speaks the truth.

[Sephiroth_VII]

Jesus, is this the same bunch of people who were complaining that SC4 was too much? I, personally, far prefer this kind of lass to the completely unrealistic women usually in videogames.

[Jay Gee]

Uhh, nope. I have no problem with the Soul Calibur chicks, tbh. However, this female really has no ass. There is literally nothing there. So I can't fathom why there would be any shots of her ass when there isn't one to see. It really doesn't make sense to design a female character like that with no ass at all. Especially if there is emphasis in screenshots on that particular area.

[GTShotoKen]

Isn't your groundless conjecture a form of this.

I always wonder myself if it truly takes racism to know racism. I mean, isn't it funny that we get angry at the people who use conjecture to call racism when we use the very same conjecture to form the conclusion that these people based their accusations on racially charged preconceptions?

At the end of the day, someone's has to be a racist it seems...or at least more racist than the other guy.

A front and back view of the character is given. That's all. If you saw a front/back model sheet of Snake, would you say sex appeal has something to do with it?

Depending on how Snake is posed, it can be interpreted as such. Snake's masculinity can also be interpreted in the same fashion. This isn't about what's good for the goose being good for the gander, it's about this chick having a washboard for an ass when there's no real reason for there be. I'm not saying they need to up it 20 levels, but at least give her something to work with.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Hey, for every white girl with a fat booty, there's a black girl with a small or flat one. I see 'em every where. It's the "balance."

[GTShotoKen]

That's very true, but that doesn't mean that black women don't tip the scale in the fat booty sector. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/shmookins/emos/goodjob.gif

[Passive]

Jesus, is this the same bunch of people who were complaining that SC4 was too much? I, personally, far prefer this kind of lass to the completely unrealistic women usually in videogames.

I'm right there with you. Alot of developers are claiming that games are getting more realistic but i don't see it each time i see a generic girl with a big chest and "perfect" ass. It annoys me. Just another reason MGS kicks ass, the women in that actully look real :P if it was any other developer Meryl would have bigger tits, Emma would have been better looking, Rose would have dressed different. Games are still stuck in the 90s film era with big muscle guys with busty "hot" chicks.

She looks mixed at the very least, she obviously stands out compared to the zombified black characters. She's shades lighter then most

[CreativeWriter]

They should have just made the main character be from Africa. Rather than the preponderance of "savage" enemies being black, I'd say the largest sign of racism is the obligatory white, "Eurocentric" protagonist, as if white America needs some avatar, some familiar face amidst the "African wilds." Not having played the game, I suspect cultural imperialism is a larger danger than general racism. Redfield's voice over doesn't help matters, defining the place as devoid of humanity. I wonder if the game's writers have read Conrad or Faulkner. Seems like they should.

Plus, going with a new main character would have saved us from Redfield's bulging arms.

[Passive]

They should have given the main character a south african accent. same continent would lessing the racism hit.

This is very true. Many American's still only picture Africa as a savage land with little civilized society. I have a Nigerian friend who has been asked on more than one occasion if he used to live in a tree as an honest to goodness question. There are also many people here who still see Africa as a third world country (see anything wrong with what I just said...).

These sentiments could also exist in Japan's population as well since the game is being developed over there, if you look at it from a certain viewpoint.

This is all beside the main point of discussion though, does anyone think Claire will make a cameo? Code Veronica has shown that the brother and sister are never too far apart.

[Hisham]

I think it is more likely Ada or Wesker will make an apperance... or maybe perhaps Jill. She hasn't appeared since RE3.

Claire got sucked into all this because she was looking for Chris in RE2. And if I remember correctly, CVX had Chris saving Claire after finding her location, and making his way to where she was.

[KRA]

That's just weird...

Anyways, I don't know of any survival horror game that could give me even a slight spook after a successive replay. I would love co-op when I replay the title.

RE4 was an extremely fun action fest after successive replay's and I still play it to this day because of it's ridiculously good, action focused gameplay. Having a friend to come along on the ride wouldn't be that bad I'm sure.

Besides, I know that it would be fun to see how many ways you can die in a co-op situation. I had two playthroughs of RE4 where I literally found everyway conceivable to die in that game (there are alot of way too).

Thats definitley a great idea for the future but the problem with Capcom doing that at this point in time is the xenophobic attacks happening in South Africa ( Black on Black violence ). It would probably be considered insensitive to do so at this point in time.

Im in agreement with you also about the bulging arms. Especially hating the new street fighter charachter models.

[dnpmakkah]

I want Capcom to give us another (more improved) version of Outbreak.

[VG Aficionado]

Some new info from this week's Famitsu (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=326242):

- Sheva's last name is Alomar.

- BSAA stands for Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance

- She is from the same organization as Chris, and hails from the West African branch while Chris comes from the North American one. Their logos are very similar, with different coloring.

- Chris and Sheva are seen working together in the battlefield, fighting back to back in one image (imageboard) and even jumping into a hole one right after the other.

- Two new monsters are seen. One is the creature alluded to in previous coverage of the game, a bulky creature wearing a dark outfit a little similar to the RE4 merchant's, wielding a giant axe going after Chris and Sheva.

- The other creature wears a cape and a solid mask with red eye covers. It's in another image, driving an unidentified, mysterious (hint: evil looking, not Wesker) Caucasian man in a car.

[Segitz]

Whoa... a RE game, were you have actually a competent accomplice? That can't be right... I mean, were are the moronic girls that rather run into enemies than to you? (that is what I always hated about the RE series...)

[GTShotoKen]

Well, if she gets in the way then you can always tell her to go hide in a trash can (well, if it's like RE4).

I know, this is mostly done for "the girls" watching it... but show me a girl playing games like RE^^ There just isn't one (well, my brothers GF played RE4 like there was no tomorrow, but she is an exception... she seems to be more of a man^^ but he seems happy with her... dumbass^^)

It looks like the release date has been announced, which would be March 13, 2009. On both PS3 and 360 at the same time.

still no Wii version? *hopes there's an announcement tomorrow*

it's too hard to save up for a PS3 (maybe a 360 but i'd prefer PS3) and even looks like i wont have enough by that date.

cmon Capcom. stop making me a sad panda.

[Segitz]

Online Coop sounds nice... although I am not completely sure about this game...

It looks like it plays exactly like RE4... RE4 wasn't bad, but we've seen, what TPS can do... I just hope, there'll be new things!

[dnpmakkah]

I need to see direct feed footage of this. Co-op sounds nice and the graphics look good but damn from what I saw on Gametrailers it looked like a downgrade in visuals.

I think they'll make a totally different RE game for it. wait for E3 dust to clear out before brushing off anything.

nevermind what I said earlier. This game looks good :)

Stolen from NeoGAF:

Updated the www.biohaze.com thread with more details and videos. Sharing with you guys what I found.

Info from videos and interviews:


Chris is tracing the origins of the T-virus and he has traced it all the way back to Africa.

HUH? Guy from Capcom on GT says 2 players can play on a single unit??

Villagers are host to a mutating parasitic virus. Much like the one in RE4. According to a dev.

Flying enemies come out of ganado.

Goal of team is to make single-player co-op feel like multiplayer co-op.

If you explode a barrel near a parnter the partner could die.

Real time inventory shown, game does not pause, its a 3 by 3 grid of items. Size does not matter, back to blocks like old RE games. Like RE Zero or outbreak, your inventory is on the right, partner to the left. Options when clicking on an item are "equip, use, give, move, combine, discard"

When you go over an item you have the option for you to pick it up or command your partner to pick it up.

Partner picks up items on her own.

Partner will call for help when away and in danger, icon will appear on her life bar. A button icon appears as well in certain spots where it seems you call her to you, which takes her out of help mode.

Can command partner to be in "cover", word shown under life bar.

When you are attacked, help appears in your life bar. Blood splatters on life bar when hurt.

The herbs are now in large syringes which spary out. Sheva can use it on Chris when hurt (vice versa).

If you are close to each other and use one herb, the spray will heal you both.

Money appears on screen as a number in a box above the ammo.

"Dying" mode added, when very hurt the screen turns red and is hard to see, Chris wobbles about until... punched by Sheva.

There are two bars in the life bar. One is solid gray and is at the start of the loop, after it is green. I guess when the bar reaches the gray you are in dying mode, which it then turns red.

Chainsaw guy would seem to get stuck and not attack, really weird.

Cutscene shows someone Sheva knows getting beheaded in front of a large crowd. This was the same scene from the old trailers but the executioner and hostage are changed. Plus Sheva is now with Chris.

Poster saying "Be sure to eat your 45/-" can be seen on wall. Looks like a tomato.

You can order your partner to push objects.

Helicopter pilot named Kirk Mathison contacts you in real time during the game. The helicopter provides support in cutscenes. Then gets blown up by flying creatures.

Can shoot down power box from light pole, then shoot it on the ground to make it blow up.

Gameplay Videos:

7 new videos, 5 gameplay videos and 2 interview videos.

If you guys find anything, previews, footage, anything at all let me know cause I am putting all RE5 news in one place. Thanks.

ulgh, this isnt resident evil. Loose the partner crap Capcom. Change is good, but not when its overwhelmingly stupid

[OmniCloud]

ulgh, this isnt resident evil. Loose the partner crap Capcom. Change is good, but not when its overwhelmingly stupidyeah, I was kinda getting a Gears vibe from the trailer/walkthroughs. Not saying it's really bad, and it's obvious Gears took a lot of inspiration from RE4 as well as plenty of other titles. But the series seems to be less scary than before, and now just looks like a slower paced action game:shrug:

I doubt I'll buy it for $60, maybe when it goes on sale a few months down the road of it's release. I liked the old RE better...

It does look good, I dunno, just seems like Re4 a little too much to really be excited about it.

[GTShotoKen]

...RE Zero felt like a Resident Evil to me.

I have no idea what people are complaining about with coop.

First off, you don't have to play with another person. Two, fear doesn't dissipate because there is another person with a gun. Three, why can tense situations only revolve around one person. Four, look at the first point.

Edit: And the only element that really changed between RE4 and the other RE's is that pre-render environments were taken out and you got better control over your character by them just slapping the camera behind you (nothing more...nothing less). The whole fact that RE4 became more action focused was only because the player had a much easier time of taking out their opponents, because it got easier to control your character.

Edit2: I'd personally say RE4 and RE5 are more tense than the previous RE games because you have to stand and reload in-realtime, instead of reloading in the inventory.

Personally, It just doesn't look as fresh as other titles, and I'm just not excited about it:shrug: Maybe others just want a more focused SP game--I mean the devs did say it's designed to be co-op. And you have a freakin partner throughout the whole game if I'm not mistaken. That's kinda different don't you think?

[GTShotoKen]

If you played RE Zero then RE5 will function exactly the same if there is only one person. I mean, that game was entirely and I do mean entirely designed around having two hero characters playing at the same time (not to mention the fact that two actual people can pic up a controller and make it a coop game).

[OmniCloud]

^never played zero, but if you say it's not really a drastic change, i'll take your word for it. I wasn't planning on buying this on day one regardless though, there's just a lot of artsy stuff coming up that's got me pumped.

man, did you see the new PoP?! Looks fantastic!

[GTShotoKen]

If you want to specifically talk about how "fresh" RE is then you'd have to think about what made each RE different over time. The enviroments, scale, and enemies are what really made each RE different form each other and RE5 seems to do it on a completely epic scale.

I definitely would like to see this game use new mechanics, but I don't want it to be completely different as it's trying to tie up the story that's already there.

Edit: And yes, the new PoP looks very impressive in terms of art design. I just hope it will be more puzzle focused like the first PoP on last-gen (Sands of Time).

[Z]

I think there will be some online play. they have those mini-games like for quick scores and such (like in RE4). I think they could make those online. not necessary though, but just a thought.

ulgh, this isnt resident evil. Loose the partner crap Capcom. Change is good, but not when its overwhelmingly stupid
what is wrong with added features (in this case co-op)? you don't have to team up with anyone to play the game.

[OG_Monkey]

I didnt say anything about coop...I said the partner thing. Maybe that partner thing is the coop and there's still regular single player, probably misunderstood. So before I go on, some clarify this for me:

Resident Evil 5 features:
- A alone single player mode
- A single player mode with a AI controlled bot
- Multiplayer coop

That's how it is?

Or just:

- Single player with you and AI partner
- Multiplayer coop

[GTShotoKen]

You missed my point OG. I assume that you were thinking having a partner in the game will ruin the tension in the game, but I was trying to explain that RE: Zero proves the exact opposite.

I believe there are also sections where you are completely alone.

But hey, if capcom can freak out you and a friend at the same time then wouldn't you think they've done a better job than previous titles?

Edit: Now, if you wanna talk about baby sitting your AI partner then I hope Capcom figures out how to remedy such a situation...

[OG_Monkey]

that's exactly what I mean, baby sitting the partner

[Z]

since this partner is a soldier, there won't be any 'baby sitting'. my guess? you'll switch characters. that's good; having new weapons and person to play as.

by the way, this is the RE for me:
RE2
Code Veronica
RE4
RE5

the rest are just reruns. although I have to give props to one of my best characters in gaming: Nemesis!

I am completely on your side here^^ RE2 was THE best RE game ever^^

I sooooo hated 3 :D

[Kiosko]

RE2 for life! RE2 and RE4 are my only RE's!!

[Hisham]

They need to release RE1, 2 and 3 on the US PSN store. If that happens, then I can play all of the main RE games (except for Zero) on my PS3.

[Kiosko]

Yeah, I would like to play Re1 and 3.

good memory out of RE3 for me:
I started the game and I called my mother and let hold the controller- she was standing up. I put my hands between her's and the floor like I was trying to catch something falling. she asked what I was doing and i told her to not mind me and focus on the game. then the zombies started to walk towards her. I told her how they will munch her flesh right off her, I got her 'in the zone'. then, when they caught her and started biting her, the controller shook and she got startled she let go of the controller only for me to catch it mid air. she said "what the hell is that?"
I said; "rumble; the next big thing!"

yup, RE3 was the first game I experienced rumble in. :)


I am completely on your side here^^ RE2 was THE best RE game ever^^
just to note, I wasn't comparing them to each other. I was just saying that those are the standout of the series when each felt like the next evolution of the series. :)

for me RE3 was inspirational. i couldn't stop playing it... every time i felt tired i put the controller down with the intention of switching my console off, but then i thought 'just a bit more'. i played like a coward in the village, running around like a frightened little girl, shooting from the rooftops and then jumping down to run away again. i'm glad they stayed with the static firing, it adds a great deal of dread to the game. unfortunately i heard a dev mention they are considering changing that... DON'T

[VG Aficionado]

:dur:

[Media]

RE 2, RE 3, and RE: CV are the best Resident Evils, in no order.

[VG Aficionado]

Nah, RE Dead Aim FTW.

:look:

[GTAce]

Ba dum pshhh

[GTShotoKen]

RE4 for me. It was and is fun as hell. I beat it countless times and I still play it both on the gamecube and on the PC (with visual enhancing mods).

The RE1 remake comes in second place for me then RE2, CV, and the rest in no order.

I've never replayed a game as much as I've replayed RE4 so this one just has to take the top spot. Hopefully, RE5 will pull RE4 down to second place, but the team has alot of work cut out for them.

[frosty]

Or, since this is coming to 360 also, one could expect it won't be filling a BD. so, release a special edition with the entire series on it.

sad thing is, it is not profitable from a business sense. look at how many episode per DVD are releases in complete series packages; only three! I once bought an anime series collection on DVD from China and it had 6 episodes per DVD. so although they can, they have no incentive to do so.

PS. who said the 360 RE5 version will come out on only one DVD? ;)

Well, that REALLY depends on how long or how good quality the episodes shall be. My Lost Season one has also 3-4 episodes per disc, but the dual layer discs are filled to the brim (they have 5 languages^^), so nothing more could've been put onto them (and you could only buy the complete season, no matter what)

But often, it is quite ridiculous how little or how many episodes there are per disc (Married with Children has 3 discs per season in Germany... I dunno how many episodes that makes per disc, but enough^^)

Someone enlighten me as to how this one will be scary.

actually you've touched upon a little concern i have myself. i'd hate them to turn it into more a shooter than a horror game. it's all well and good creating horrific looking monsters but they can only scare you if the pacing is right (just like in a good movie or a novel)... you need lengthy lulls in the action in order to shock or frighten the gamer at certain points

I haven't been scared by RE since RE1. And even then it was surprise scares. Its really difficult to be scared of anything when you play a trained soldier whose arsenal of weapons rivals a small army.

[Kiosko]

Apparently the sun will play a part in the horror element. I remember them saying you will be in a dark area then the next time, you happen to be in a light area, making it unexpected and stuff. But those dogs seem pretty vicious and that Hammer dude scares the pants of of me.

[dnpmakkah]

Although it does look great and I can't wait to get this game can someone explain to me why we don't hear the same complaints against this game that we heard for other titles. Complaints such as "downgrade", "bad A.I.", "generic" (red explosive canisters), "slow" and "nothing new to the table".

[AC!D]

Is it just me feeling annoyed that they kept the exact same shooting/aiming/movement system? I mean recently i went back for another go on Resi 4 and i struggled initially to adapt to the controls after playing games with significant refinements to Resi 4's system like Uncharted and Gears of War. I know the old argument about horror game controls designed that way but i consider this an action horror and like Uncharted when you go up against those zombie creatures the system there still made it feel intense. I hope they change this before release cause Dead Space seems to work fine in the scare department without clunky controls.

[Media]

See: Resident Evil 2

That's what I'm saying, man! The first four Resident Evil games (1, 2, 3, and CV) were awesome. They mastered their craft. Even the 4th game was decent (I know the gameplay was excellent, but that's actually not a huge concern of mine when it comes to games), and it maintained a chilling atmosphere. This game just jacks the gameplay of the 4th game, and shakes off the point of the entire series, it seems.

I just hope I'm wrong, is all.

i'm with you on this one, but we haven't seen anything but demonstrations designed to show off its graphics and animations. i'm hoping... hoping, that the horror element has been hidden away so that it feels fresh when we actually get to play it. i agree though, the aesthetics of the environments don't lend themselves well to what you would ordinarily consider 'horror'. while avoiding the cliché is arguably a good thing, there is a sense (from what i've seen so far) that this could just end up being a shooter. i want moody, slow paced sections that stretch my mind and lull be into a false sense of security, before mayhem ensues... and i don't mean just many enemies attacking me with picks and knives, i mean a pursuing entity that genuinely gives me the creeps

Ok either all Capcom loves to show is "co-op" mode or you really will have her follow you around the entire game (possibly). The B button (xbox 360 video) is devoted just to command her. So i still fear:
