This is the new, extended trailer from E3. Looks like they improved and went with the control scheme like RE 4.

Alright! I always wanted to kill some black devils Twisted Evil

I hope that was Steve waking up at the end.

So basically they took everything awesome about RE4, but made it bigger and better. Looks fucking awesome. Story? Plot? Why we keep fighting? Fuck all that. I want to shoot some people in the face, and it looks like this game delivers.

They do need to get their asses some new shoting animations though, those are clearly the exact same ones from RE4.

That game looks like the freaking balls. I'm not even sure if I used that expression correctly. Seriously, I mean, that's one of those special game trailers that just, like... makes my heart leap.

I actually started with the Resident Evil franchise with RE4. So I'm happy to see the fifth one keep RE4's control scheme or be built on its engine or whatever.

It's only going to X360 and PS3, though, last I heard, so... that's kind of a barrier to me actually getting the game.

That's exactly why I wasn't excited by the trailer. Confused

RE4 was super weak in the plot department as well. I think they're just using this as an excuse to throw you into more encounters with awesome gameplay, not so much tell you anything about umbrella. There will probably be a bunch of highly skippable dialogue scenes interspersed between heated bouts of action. Which I guess sucks in one regard, but in terms of how awesome the gameplay will be, I'm at least excited about that.

I hope we get upgradeable melee weapons in this game. The knife is cool, but being able to pick up a baseball bat and use it instead would be cooler.

The Resident Evil series has never been big on plot. Look at the first game, the official ending can't be achieved in any version of it.

Posted: Jul 27 2007 01:36 pm

And why is that getting you guys all excited? Three minutes of Redfield fighting "regular" (by that I mean not obvious zombie/parasite/etc) people? I mean the graphics are awesome and I'm sure it will be a boatload of fun, but that trailer's not really exciting...

Lead Designer: All right everyone, I want to make an awesome, action-packed game. But the thing is, I don't... really want to have to do a lot of work.
Designer: How about we just take RE4's skeleton and work off there? No one's going to notice things like biped movements.
Lead Designer: And that is exactly the kind of thinking that gets people promotions.

When I first watched the trailer, I thought (after my initial "this is awesome" stuff) that Chris sounded very similar to Leon. Surely they're not reusing voice actors...

I also felt like a couple of the little "fighting" grunts and zombie noises sounded the same from RE4. The fact that I could recognize a GRUNT either means that Capcom is reusing a lot of old stuff, or else I'm a gigantic nerd. Probably both. This is the company that brought us MegaMan, though, so these guys know how to reuse things.

They're probably just reusing animations and sound effects for the trailer in order to get some footage out there. Chris appears to have a new action command at least (he PUNCHED A GUY IN THE FACE OH MAN).

Alas, Umbrella is no more. The way it ended with RE4 was bullshit... I have serious doubts about The Umbrella Chronicles, but I hear the Wesker vs. Red Queen portion of the game will answer all unresolved questions about its downfall.

True, most of the major developments happen between games.

When they did the REmake for the GCN, they should have fixed it so that Jill can rescue Chris AND Rebecca from the jail cell while Chris can rescue Jill AND Barry. I mean, how hard would that have been?

That still wouldn't have allowed you to play through the actual canon scenario of what went down in the mansion, but that's probably as close as we could ever hope for.

The Umbrella Chronicles will retcon the latter.

And Wesker lives in the REmake, that's as much effort as they were going to give that.

I agree with Syd, and in that regard I say in today's day and age of quantity over quality, I'm willing to sacrifice story for a fun game, I guess. Ideally though it would have both, but, uh, yeah. I dunno where I'm going with this.

umm...

never played the RE series. at first this didnt really look all too special, but towards the end it seemed pretty fun. it looks like the kind of game that would get your heart pumping. i might have to check it out, provided its not exclusive to PS3 or 360.

Posted: Jul 27 2007 04:32 pm

What do you mean, exclusive to one of those respective systems, or only on both of them?

Posted: Jul 27 2007 04:37 pm

It'll probably release on both.

Posted: Jul 27 2007 05:05 pm

It will.

Man, this game is racist! Laughing

Posted: Jul 27 2007 05:17 pm

You didn't pipe up when RE4 was filled with Mexican-capping mayhem.

This Is A Joke

well, im most likely getting a wii and im definately not getting a PS3 or 360. so i guess what i meant is that its probably not coming out on the wii or it will be exclusive to one of those two systems.

Posted: Jul 27 2007 06:57 pm

CAPCOM's been saying for sometime that RE 5 wouldn't be going on the Wii; that Umbrella Chronicles would fill in as Nintendo's next-gen Resident Evil game.

Posted: Jul 27 2007 07:23 pm

I think we'll eventually see RE5 on the Wii, probably 8-12 months after the PS3/XBox release and probably with a bunch of extra shit. You know, like when they suddenly decided to release Viewtiful Joe and RE4 on the PS2.

There's really no excuse for them not to release RE5 on the Wii. I mean, they released RE4 for it in a pathetic attempt to milk some more money out of it, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with RE5.
