Trailer of Resident Evil 5
2008-05-31 17:12:37 by Snoopers
As promised, Capcom released during its Captivate '08 a brand new trailer of Resident Evil 5. A dark, gloomy and violent video that smells fear and sweating, making the wait for this highly anticipated game even harder than before. We can't wait for a demo.

Is it just the graphics???????????????
In my opinion, the graphics are amazing, as are the animations. What is a little bit frustrating is how they recycled many things from RE4 ; same type of virus-plant thing, africans instead of spanish, chainsaw-wielding man, etc. I mean, it really does look like the developers are creating RE4.5. Which isn't that bad, since it was one of the best games of the last generation.
I really liked the trailer, mainly because we see Chris ALONE and not in co-op, and I hope it will stay that way. The tunnel/mine section with a lantern looked incredible, and the amount of enemies is CRAZY. It looked like Dead Rising! I mean, you probably won't have to kill everyone, rather make your way through the hordes of blacks and whites (yea, they added whites...wow) and I hope they will still limit the ammo so the tension never slows.
So far, it seems the dictator guy will be a vilain. I hope we see Wesker and/or Spencer, Billy and HUNK (at least in Mercenaries). Also, in the bottom of my heart, I wish for either Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine to play a part in the story, though that may be wishful thinking.
It's funny when they say : "I know it from the moment I arrived. There's no reason here. No humanity" ROFL ammo for the racist conspiracies. One of my favorite parts is when Chris snipes an explosive barrel on the bridge, resulting in an OMG explosion of goodness. Also, when he fires at a truck (or is it a bus?) that crashes near him, reminded me of a part in RE4 (yea, again). Oh, and for purists, ZE DOGS ARE BACK!!!
Some gifs for ya ; (ty NEOGAF)

I'm not saying you're childish or trolling as it's obvious you liked what you saw, but seeing the ".5" just irked me a bit :P
I think this looks fucking great, and I can't wait to play it and see what kind of new environments and enemies and stuff the game has in store.

Also, to the people complaining about no zombies in the latest games, have you been paying attention to the story? Around the time of code veronica the T virus became obsolete, at least to Wesker. That's why he's experimenting with this new virus found in RE4 and RE5.

I can't say I'm particularly excited about this game at all, but yeah, the whole .5 thing has been bugging me as well.

My game of the year imo!!!!!
and no more old zombies......there boring(there slow predicteble and are only good for sudden scares)
the shooting feels great(yeah i havent played the game but have played re4)and the graphics are top notch.
and this game is scary ,but in a different way.
first re games where actualy quet cheap in making you scared,the atmosphere was awesome but the real scare where just from sudden hard noises and sudden thing on the screen.
its like that movie http://youtube.com/watch?v=xEIaPSojGFE its cheap but affective.
the new re series(4 is just a hole different game) relies more on the feeling of being trapt and hunted all the time so you never feel save.
and just on feeling haunted,(spoiler)like when you enter the lab in re4 and you have completed the colour puzzle your hear a hard bong and start hearing some hard breathing and its getting harder and closer......that kinda scare.
i proud capcom has choosen to go of the strusted path and did go in a different direction that has so much improven the game.....thanks capcom...thanks for making MY best game ever.

Looks fucking amazing. Also really glad the chainsaw characters are going to be back, they freaked the shit out of me
It makes sense that the zombies aren't back as well. They tried something new in 4 and created a blockbuster so it makes sense they would want to continue that since it's still somewhat new
Even contemporary film doesn't have traditional zombies anymore
As for being glad you didn't bother with 4? Do I even need to address that?

It wasn't directed at Kudgel at all, and I'd hardly say 3 posts is clogging the thread...although it may be a bit much for a single page.
Consider me silenced with regard to the subject then.

Wait...of course it looks better, but I have a feeling it's RE4 with a coat of paint. Maybe the whole 4.5 isn't right, and I think people have made pretty cohesive comments as to why my intervention is wrong. It's just that the animations, settings, ideas, all seems copied over RE4. I KNOW the game will be good, it's just more of the same for all we know RIGHT NOW. I'll gladly eat some crow if some amazing stuff is hidden and will bring forth more crazy gameplay.

A lot of the mechanics are back from 4, but they're all carried out under different circumstances and new levels of difficulty. For example, the crowds are thicker, more combat moves that switches things up, AI will probably be similar since it didn't have a problem in 4 and was really difficult on proper settings.
I also assume SP will be played under another character as well, and there was also mention of co-op in this thread which would be insane.
I can understand making some 4.5 remark if this game had been the same game since RE 1, but it hasn't been. 4 was something new that they weren't sure was going to be successful, and when it was, why not make another iteration making it even better?
That being said, saying something like 4.5 is pretty insulting to a franchise that has been around for over a decade and got much deserved praise (goty I believe) for an iteration which in one swoop revitalized itself in a risk move on the first try.
I expect this game to be an improved RE 4, incredibly refined, and over a single or two disc in length (which is rare) because they can focus more on story.
Hell if they just released 4 with another disc worth of story, I'd gobble it up too

Is the end cut off? or is that how it is supposed to end..?
Trailer wise..wow, can't believe it is actually a game and not some CG movie, graphics look amazing.
The creatures remind me of the reapers from blade 2, the whole mouth opening aspect
looks like the game is going to be intense and frantic, with alot of great action and scripted scenes..this game is going to be epic

I think it's unrealistic to expect every sequel to revolutionize the genre, or even the series, especially when RE4 was damn near perfect. Anyway the game looks amazingly fun. Two disappointments though: no Claire and no strafing.

As a fan of everything Resident Evil (except the movies) this will be my GOTY in whatever year it actually comes out. RE4 is probably my favorite game of all time so this one looks friggin' awesome to me. And I love Chris' super uppercut gif.
