Resident Evil 5 follows series alum Chris Redfield as he journeys into West Africa with his new partner, Sheva Alomar, fighting Las Plagas-infested enemies called the Majini.
holy shit, new trailer!
Still looks amazing, the intro is a bit similar to the RE4's. Woot Wesker's back and better than ever ^_^
"Woot Wesker's back and better than ever ^_^"I love it when trailers spoil plot points like this. I mean, I knew Wesker would be involved directly, but I wish Capcom would have kept him in the dark. Would make his in-game appearance all the more engaging.
But now, they've telegraphed the son of a bitch.
Best trailer I have seen in a long while. The music at the end is intense and the cinematic direction is amazing.
"They're like those Ganado's from the Kennedy report!"
EDIT: Am I right in presuming Sheva is British too?
"Best trailer I have seen in a long while. The music at the end is intense and the cinematic direction is amazing.She sounded African to me. At least, that's what people from Africa sound like when they speak English... from the few people from Africa I've heard speak English.

Urgh I don't know. More info please Capcom?!
"Cool trailer. The sound wasn't that good but it was better on the other one. Anyway, it is cool that Wesker is there and now all we need it is Ada Wong to make it awesome. "I want Jill to be in it. So much. But like with logical reason. Not just shoehorned in there.
Environments look really good. Perhaps there will be more horror elements in this than RE4. Ooh, reference to Leon, awesome. :D Looks like there may be a few collision detection issues with Sheva, but not too bad. New chainsaw guy looks like he has worse aim than the one in RE4... But it looks like his head got cut off, why didn't they show any blood? That's totally lame. If Leon had his head chainsawed off, blood went everywhere. Hopefully that was just the position of the camera at the particular location. No blood spewing when getting chainsawed would be uber lame.
Jun Takeuchi has gained more respect for me as her referenced both Kamiya and Mikami in his interview with EGM. <3 Also, is it just me or does Wesker look like kinda weird in high def?
"Mehh.. been there done that in 1000 other different games, but i m still getting it."You're so hard to please.
EDIT: The explosions in the chainsaw video were amazing.
"clubsandwich said:Yeah they better show us and explain us how she died, or else, this will probably be the biggest disappointment in video games history for me."what really get's me sad is that Jill could be dead. :("Ugh. Maybe Capcom is just trying to pull a Kojima on us. If she is dead, I want many details, because she survived both the Tyrant and the Nemesis, what could possibly have killed her?!"
This makes me wonder if Code: Veronica X is canon. Wesker mentions about his last encounter with Chris being at the Spencer Incident, but the Spencer Mansion was Resident Evil 1 and Wesker fought Chris in Antarctica in CVX. Unless Spencer owned that facility too and the Ashfords were just in charge of it.

Just add it to the list of "Resident Evil plot holes". It's not like it would be the first time.
"HandsomeDead said:As much as I liked Code Veronica, I never assumed it was canon. Even as its own entity, it just didn't seem to fit in line with the rest of the mythos. It just crams new material into the backstory that we, as the audience, have to reconcile on our own."This makes me wonder if Code: Veronica X is canon.

The Main Trailer and the Alternate trailer are both stunning. Wesker is all Dante-like! There's so many new characters. This game might top Resident Evil 4.
"zitosilva said:I always assumed it was canon, but I agree that it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. I recently got done re-playing all the RE games and in many ways CVX just feels like it has aged the worst."HandsomeDead said:As much as I liked Code Veronica, I never assumed it was canon.

As far as Jill goes though I hope she's still alive, she's my fav along with Leon. They have said there'll be playable flashbacks in the game so if she, indeed, is dead maybe that's how we'll find out. I believe I did see a translation where the date on the tombstone is 2006. I've also heard some people speculate that the cloaked horn-masked figure in the trailer may infact be Jill. Who knows.
