New trailer on PSN today

http://blog.us.playstation.com/

Yep, it's already on the UK Store.

Holy moly!

Watch this asap. Lots of what appears to be gameplay footage near the end of this rather lengthy trailer. It looks absolutely incredible. Very similar to RE4 which I just picked up for my Wii. This could be one of the best games of 2008 after watching that.

The video looks great - very bright glare though. I'm not too happy with the character mod to Chris - I could see the evolution of Leon from RE2 to RE4 but Chris from REmake/CV to 5.... my wife thinks he already has the T-Virus :O

Gameplay looks great, more RE4-style action. Also appears we'll be facing off against purely human opponents for awhile, with some crowd dynamics thrown in.

sigh...

capcom's ruined RE... guess it's silent hill from here on out....

seems leik a lot of it is him fighting out of a crowd of 20 zombies? doenst sound liek fun to me. more of a PITA

heh I guess you never played RE4

Looked like a lot of fun to me. I love how they made bright and sunny scary. I'm sick of dark games.

To me, it currently looks like RE 4 in Africa.

In other words, new environmental model, new character models, same gameplay.

Which isn't a bad thing as RE4 has a great boost in the gameplay department from the previous installments.

nah, it was a huge step back copying several games that already do it better. plus they turned RE into just another run and gun action game...

i want my survival horror back!

Eh I welcomed the non tank like controls as did the gamins press. I love the RE series, bought the original the day it was released, but the controls needed to be changed. I still had puzzels, files to be read, keys to find to unlock doors, etc. Just faster moving and more enemies at once.

I see what you are saying though. I want regular zombies back and would like the previous survival horror atmosphere as well. Still won't stop me from picking this one up though.

Thought this one was delayed until 2009 now...

Ya I would probly pick this game up, but probly 360 version since the trend now is just to port over to the ps3 with a slower framerate *cough*EA*cough*.

Yeah, but my point is that there's other games out there that do this gameplay better. All they did was turn it into a cross of tomb raider, syphon filter and doom. The puzzles in RE4 we basically, bring key from this room to that. At least in the previous games some of the puzzles had you thinking and toying around (I love games with puzzles like silent hill, making you think to get past a certain area).

Also, you don't think the game got repetitive once you killed your 1000th gando? I just hated the run and gun gameplay, and hoards of similar enemies. One thing I loved about the originals is that you needed to think very hard of what you needed to have on you, ration health and ammo, and decide if it was wise to fight, or run. It was a very strategic game and very much life like. Tons of other small quirks too, like the purchase system, a random guy that sells you **** that makes no sense in the RE universe, and enemies dropping items...

Don't get me started about the story, or rather the lack of. There was nothing there, no background information on the characters other then small blurbs, and the top story was incredibly cliché.

Controls were never that bad, and the static cameras were a really nice touch, never letting you see what might pop up next.

Have you tried outbreak? The added controls made the game much more fun, and the ability to strafe, walk and gun, and shoulder doors really added something. RE5 would do much better if they got back to the basics of a good, enticing story, rag tag items, good puzzles and limited supplies.

As of now it look like a carbon copy of RE4.

Many times I would find myself having to juggle ammo vs enemies in RE4. Story was silly I'll grant you that. The purchase system was kind of neat IMO, how best to spend your money on upgrades and what not.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but I really enjoyed RE4.

Outbreak had soo much potential, but capcom had to stick to their guns about no voice chat and that ruined it IMO.

Which is why I'm very excited for it :) Heck I'd drop $50 for a remake of RE4 in 1080p with updated textures and LPCM.

I love when people say this! The controls were exactly the same in RE4, except for the ability to aim your gun. It was the camera angle that changed. Go back and play it and you'll see what I mean.

Well the camera angle plays a huge part in making it feel different as it is locked behind you even though you are correct.

Yeah it's fine, i'm just a talker and a 10 year RE fan/vet, so i feel the need to vent.

I played RE4 much like I did every other game, and ended the game with 2 rocket launchers, tons of health and enough ammo for a small army. I didn't find it challenging at all. The merchant just seemed like a cop-out to me, as they couldn't figure out another way to make it work. When an entire towns after Mr Kennedy, why would he trust some shady guy hiding in the shadows...

Let's hope RE5 has gone back to it's story telling routes. It's going to be a wait and see rent for me.

I think the lack of voice in outbreak was fine (not a big fan of listening to kiddys ruining a game, although if they had a mute option that would be fine. Funnily my biggest problem with outbreak is that they broke up a story they had planned for RE:online and the "episodes" didn't make much sense or have much continuity. Also not happy they closed the OB2 servers. Capcom really needs to give a a true RE: Raccoon City MMO game. Fuse Dead rising, with outbreaks style, and maybe mission sorta like WWII:Online, all in raccoon city. Now were talking survival horror!

wow this game looks frickin awesome!

It's now moved to my top three "can't wait" titles.

Defintely awaiting this one.

Which is why I'm very excited for it :) Heck I'd drop $50 for a remake of RE4 in 1080p with updated textures and LPCM.

I totally agree! I'd pay $60 if they did a damn good job with it. That is one of the best games of all time by far. Absolutely fantastic game.

I love when people say this! The controls were exactly the same in RE4, except for the ability to aim your gun. It was the camera angle that changed. Go back and play it and you'll see what I mean.

I think you need to go back and try it yourself. I did and I can't agree with you.

hell, yes...i'd probably even pay full price.

I think you need to go back and try it yourself. I did and I can't agree with you.

But you're wrong, it's the same exact controls with a different camera angle, i.e. over the shoulder.

Swivel left, swivel right, forward, back, action, run, cancel, inventory, raise weapon. and no strafe.

mighta been a few extras, but the control scheme was the same

The camera angle makes all the difference though.

People just love to whine and complain, it never fails.

I too am a 10+ year fan of the series, and I'm looking foward to this.

It's called evolution, everything copies everything and nothing is original blah blah we get it already...sheesh. It's a freaking videogame.

The video footage looks so much cleaner and better than 360s its insane what blu ray can do for a game.....

No one would disagree with you there, but a new camera angle is not a new control scheme.

Well, the aiming controls were new.

what video footage? i dont think Capcom has let anyone know what system this was running on..........

Are they even zombies?

I loved RE4, but as a veteran of the serious I also would like to see a version that was true survival horror. I am asking for two different development teams to make two different games. One Action Horror (RE4) and one Survival horror. Less ammo, limited saves, un dead, dark isolated no where to run locations. They can keep the camera the way it was in 4, just make it Survival horror.

RE5 looks like it is going to be a great evolution of the RE4 formula.

Are they even zombies?
we're not sure yet, but it looks similar to the las plagas type infection/parasite from RE4.

The video footage looks so much cleaner and better than 360s its insane what blu ray can do for a game.....

the video shown is the same for both systems.

I think Capcom is just trying to train me to be a member of some Apartheid faction.

Ignore all of this guy's sarcastic, trolling posts.

whos the troll...go to your BOX system please.....They did not include blu ray capablities in PS3 for nothing all the games from now are going to be blu ray remember RFOM takes up 15gb of memory used on blu ray no BOX can do that holding only puny 9gb of game play...so leave the PS3 forums please... :( :mad: :rolleyes:

Haven't played any of the resident evil games, but this one is now on my list after that video. Pretty slick.

I loved the setting of the footage and the use of sickles and farm tools. Looks downright creepy.

alright let's just stop this garbage, not need to be like 1up.

alright let's just stop this garbage, not need to be like 1up.

Agreed.

I'm not sure which is worse...a troll or a fanboi?

The lighting technique Capgods are using sounds amazing. Just like in real life, if Chris is in a dark room for a long period of time and he goes outside, his vision will be temporarily blind. It could be a cool gameplay effect.

So when is this game supposed to come out? They don't even list the PS3 version on EBgames.com (although the 360 version is dated Jan 2008).

Agreed.

The only difference is which forum the person visits. In one, he (or she) will be a "fanboi", in the other a "troll".

Personally, I prefer "fanbois" over "trolls".

Sounds good as a Rental :)

This is gonna be the best looking RE by far.

The trailer looked alot better on the PS3 than the 360 Imo.

Wow... just finished watching the trailer. I like how Capcom stayed with the RE4 style of gameplay. I'm curious to see what the 'new' features are that I keep hearing about.

Wrong. Both are blinded idiots that do not understand facts or reason.

Yes! But hopefully the "fanboi" will be more respectful and not go treading into other forums where he or she is not wanted! That is the sole purpose of trolls!!!

Well, sometimes fanboys can be trollish when they irrationally attack people (in order to defend their fanboy favorite) who have legitimite hardware or software concerns.

it's sunny

:rolleyes:

it's sunny

:rolleyes:
Well that's actually going to play a part of it.

When entering a building from the harsh sunlight it will take a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the lower light levels. Same for leaving dark areas and entering bright areas.

it's sunny

:rolleyes:

Im confused. Is this a bad thing for you? I love that they are applying a desert oppressive sunny look. I'm sick of horror games that are dark the entire time. If they can successfully make sunny scary, I think it will be awesome.

well its RE. the whole game will not take place in the sun or during the day. especially if they are following the same pattern as RE4.

Not if said person has both formats and points out said fanboi's absolutely absurd "opinion" then he is labeled a troll which is incorrect.

he can claim both formats, but does he have both formats. Awhile back I started a thread on folks who have both formats lets just say very, very, very few responded with pictures of their setup. :rolleyes: i can tell you right now I sold my stupid Wii.

heh seems folks dont like blu ray and PS3... :rolleyes: theres always da BOX forum.

I would have done the same thing if someone made this fanboi comment in the xbox forum since the trailer is exactly the same for both systems.

if you have both systems and both systems are connected to the same TV why are you even talking about it? I found my PS3 looked cleaner on my sony 70XBR2 with HDMI 1080P inputs vs my 360 HDMI output to same TV......

I feel like i'm at the IGN forums. capcom never said which system the preview was running on. You're effectively basing your opinion on which video encode you think looks better. This post and all of yours after it are pretty laughable.

No, not at all, but you're forgetting this isn't survival horror anymore, it's cut and clean action genre.

My comment was a quimsical pot shot. Capcom usually promises a lot, and promises something new, but it's always just new to the series, not to gaming in general. HDR has been in games for almost 4 years now, the bloom and glare effects really aren't all that groundbreaking.

I will say one thing, if this is in game, the engine's looking pretty good and I do like the animation system. I'm just hoping they add the things missing from the last game, most notably a good plot line, and drop the stuff that sucked. I don't feel it's fun to go around killing the same 12 gando, 2000 times for 12 hours. thats DOOM, and i'd play that if I wanted that.

The RE series is action adventure... what do you suggest the game should do if not allow us to kill a bunch of bad guys, sweet talk them into submission?

my vote's for harsh language with a dash of derision...

Maybe they can figure out a way to turn the 12-Step Program into a bunch of mini-games. Only then can good and evil co-exist in perfect harmony.

I have the 70XBR2 and 60XBR1 and no I don't have a PS3 yet and just like someone stated it is a pretty ignorant comment to make based on the codecs that are used to show on each platform. What the Hell does Blu Ray have to do with a video being downloaded. In addition it isn't even stated which platform the video is from.

I hate to play the race card here, but am I the only person that questions the ethics of this game? ... White protagonist sets out to eliminate African zombies ...

I am black and gotten passed others complaining about "why the black man got to get shot first" type situations.

I just see a good game in a long running series nothing more. It is a video game.


.......Made by Japanese developers :rolleyes:

Were you the same guy that made a thread on this topic at GT?

RE4

White guy, Leon S. Kennedy, kills Spainards and nobody blinks. Uh-oh their African zombies/infected now, let's start to question the morals/ethics.

Ahh who am I kidding this is a clever ploy by Capcom to bring back apartheid.

I'm black and am pleading; please don't turn this into a stupid race debate.

Yeah, my guess is you joining the series with RE4 eh? Resident Evil was never "action adventure" (before RE4).

I've been thinking the same thing, I don't agree with it, but my guess is the NCAAP is going to blow a gasket on this one once they find out about it. Of course it isn't "black people" they're killing, but the mutated/zombie/parasite/possessed bodies of the Africans.

They're still going to make a big deal about I, because that's how they keep getting their paycheck. They're like unions, they used to do good, now they serve their own interests to keep their leaders paid well stirring controversy where there shouldn't be any (Cough, Mr. Vick, Cough).

Anyways, Capcom said they were iffy about putting child zombies in a videogame back in the day, funny how far they've come from that!

I want to kill orphan zombie children with disabilities. When will Capcom add them?

;)

I have to agree with those that think that this is just a game. Not everything has to be a protest march.

As for the game, I cannot contain how excited I am for this one to come out! Is it really set for 2009?!?! Please say it aint so! I absolutely loved RE4. I thought it look great and played great. Yeah sure, the bad guys were a little repetitive, but there was enough variety over all, for me. From what I can tell from the “Heavenly Sword” demo, there’s a lot of copying and pasting there, too, bad-guy wise. Same with RfoM. What differs is the environments and situations in which you face the bad guys. I thought RE4 handled that quite well.

The controls look pretty much the same as they were in RE4. Which is great. I loved how Leon moved around in RE4. The aiming system was fun, too - and it looks the same in RE5. I’m not sure what people are talking about how RE4 was the same as the other RE games, except for camera angles. I HATED that one joystick was to rotate your guy (or girl) and the other to either move forward or back. It was horrible, and it had nothing to do with the camera angle.

Again, I can’t wait for this one to come out. The environments look awesome. I love how they’re able to pull off foreboding and doom in the daylight!

what i love is it looks like they have added a lot more evasive moves, and melee combat techniques. i think that is what the producer meant when he said something along the lines of "when you see the first trailer, you will think it plays pretty much like RE4, when you see the second, you will see something totally different"

they have added a lot more to the combat mechanics in this game, you can bet on that. i hope we get some stuff similar to condemned where you can break necks, and other things once the enemies are stunned.

Apparently some critics are saying the setting of this game is racist

http://gamepolitics.com/2007/08/01/african-womens-blog-critical-of-resident-evil-5-trailer/

Good GAWD! People...it...is....a...GAME! And no one really knows the 'plot' anyway. The Africa part may only be a small section. Oh well, we now return you to your regularly scheduled protest over a game no one knows much about yet...already in progress.

Yes, the nonsense has been spreading through the intarweb pretty quickly. I'm just hoping none of the major media outlets get a hold of it.

Perhaps Sony did a better job on converting/mastering the video, i.e. AVC vs. VC-1 ;)
LOL yeah you can say thats what they wanted you have SONY XBR tv, PS3, sony reciever etc..LOL... :D
