That was real-time. Oh my god, that was real-time footage, wasn't it?


Xiphias - 2007-07-26

There's a high-res version of this on IGN or 1UP or something, and yeah, this is all totally in-game.


Testicles of Doom - 2007-07-26

when? When?! Oh Dear God, WHEN?!


Dr. Lobotomy - 2007-07-26

...2009 according to the producer. And knowing from RE1.5 and RE4, there's certainly a chance a lot of the game might get changed before it comes out.

On the up side, for me at least, by the time it comes out the PS3 and 360 will probably have gone through several price drops.

And is it just me or does the voice actor sound a lot like the guy who did Chris in the cheesy 1996 original?


Caminante Nocturno - 2007-07-26

I am already frightened.


sosage - 2007-07-26

Thanks game industry. Something finally worth being excited over.


ztc - 2007-07-26

This is going to be the most hilarious game ever.


Millard - 2007-07-26

Good thing a white guy's around to save the day. By punching negroes right in the fucking face.


yeahjim - 2007-07-26

Not to mention -- what are the odds that Chris is infected with HIV by the end of the game? I'm not sure the game designers really thought this setting through.


Aernaroth2 - 2007-07-26

Man, zombies aren't racist. They know that black or white, we're all the same inside: delicious.


Ryo-Cokey - 2007-07-26

There's probably an "infant" power-up to remove the AIDS.


13.5 - 2007-07-26

Punches a Latino at :42 for variety? I might bet on a commentary track or something somewhere that includes, "The virus, of course, is a metaphor for AIDS."


Emcee - 2007-07-26

Chris drops in on a homoerotic zombie infection! Who do you people think the mystery broad at the end is?


Frank Rizzo - 2007-07-26

this game fucking rules I bet.


StanleyPain - 2007-07-26

I'm going to assume it's realtime since most of the footage uses the same over-the-shoulder angle as RE4. They probably just didn't implement a HUD.


Angel Carver - 2007-07-26

Ooh, those people are so scary! And also, they're zombies!


ramshackle - 2007-07-26

:/


garcet71283 - 2007-07-26

Countdown till some whiney civil rights activist makes this the new cause of the anti-video-game movement...


ramshackle - 2007-07-26

what?


RomancingTrain - 2007-07-26

At least they weren't chucking spears.


PegLegPete - 2007-07-26

Been a fan of the whole series/concept since I was a kid. The fourth one really redeemed the dying franchise (in my opinion) and looks like it's only going to get better. But hopefully they can add a few more bells and whistles (aside from the obvious graphical ones).


Sudan no1 - 2007-07-26

Africans invented the zombie.

RESPEK


mr666 - 2007-07-27

Atually, zombies were invented in the Carribean.


Xiphias - 2007-07-27

Aactually, Mr666, the concept of the walking dead is a near-universal element in folklore, from Japan to Europe. The term "zombie", however, traces its origins to Afro-Caribbean cultures, who, of course, trace their beliefs back to Africa. So you're both right, in a way!

THE MORE YOU KNOW


Sudan no1 - 2007-08-02

Exactly. Invented in the Carribean... by Africans.


FeeFiFoFoTheFifeFifeBrown - 2007-07-26

Just please tell me I get to play as Michael Richards in Mercenaries mode.


Afgh - 2007-07-27

If you've never played RE4, you can really only enjoy this trailer half as much as someone who has.

Now the zombies have grappling hooks? Ohhh shiiit


Zhou Fang - 2007-07-27

Hopefully by 2009 they will have Xbox 360s that don't spontaneously break.


Afgh - 2007-07-27

On the other hand, if you buy an Xbox360 today it will still be under warranty in 2010. And you'll get to play GTA4, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, etc.

MS paid me 100 dollars to say this, but it's still true.


Adramelech - 2007-07-27

Yeah, this is pretty much going to define the third-person action game of this generation.


Xenocide - 2007-07-27

Because Africa wasn't already enough of a hellhole.


Quad9Damage - 2007-07-27

2009, huh? Wonderful. This trailer makes me want to go play Resident Evil 4 again.


StanleyPain - 2007-07-27

This is up on Xbox Live in high-res.


bakune young - 2007-07-27

PSN as well. BONERS.


Operation Cornflakes - 2007-07-27

Me want.


bopeton - 2007-07-29

It might be Haiti, not Africa.


EvilHomer - 2007-08-02

What's this? Oh, another Resident Evil, eh? In-game footage, PS3, yaddayadda, OK, I'll give it a watch for old time's sake. I haven't been worked up about a REvil title since I was fourteen, probably more of the sa-

Oh my holy fuck and sweet zombie baby Jesus! Video games are AWESOME. Also, BLACK PEOPLE! Man oh man, at least I know there's something to look forward to after Fallout 3.


Quad9Damage - 2007-08-11

Never mind interpretations of racism--- I want to know who is in that tank.


plaid_knight - 2007-08-12

As for who's in the tank, it's most likely Sherry Birkin. Remember how Wesker said he'd never underestimate her father, and that there was something about that little girl?


plaid_knight - 2007-08-12

You can see what I'm talking about here:

Princess v2.1 - 2007-10-06

I think it's Alice (Milla)


Mayberry Pancakes - 2008-01-23

They've confirmed Sherry is the main character of RE5, so...


nubilus - 2007-08-14

COT DAMN


IrishWhiskey - 2007-08-18

If its anything like the the other RE games, it will be one level of village mob rush, and ten of haunted mines, booby trapped castles, mine cart rides, and needlessly complicated statue puzzles.


Still awesome as hell.


Harveyjames - 2007-09-18

I'd think it looked awesome too if your first paragraph wasn't so true.

The setting aside, I get the sensation that I've already played this game and it was pretty retarded then.


Camonk - 2007-09-02

I'll tell you all this much: if wanting to shoot those zombies makes me racist, then klan me up! Cause I'm gonna play the fuck out of this game.


fluffy - 2007-11-08

The irony is that this is the first next-gen title featuring ultra-detailed humans which DON'T look like soulless zombies.


themilkshark - 2007-12-14

I hope I own a 360 by the time this is out. I know, I'll sell my Wii to a soccer mom at Christmas!


Spastic Avenger - 2008-02-18

it looks good, but why couldnt they just have an african .S.T.A.R.S operative? Do capcom think that it isn't possible to empathise with a black African (i say african because having an american lead would be just as dodgy) main character?


HarveyTibbar - 2008-12-18

Take a look at 90% of all the protagonists in American Media.

It's a precedence, if nothing else.


Nominal - 2019-01-09

What a letdown this game turned out to be. On the surface, it seems just more of the same, but RE4 was constantly changing it up throwing new and fun stuff at you along with little reminders that they know it's cheesy and ridiculous.

RE5 felt like they handed over the engine and formula to the Call of Duty people. It felt so rote, repetitive, and joyless.
