Resident Evil 5
Source The big news from Inafune's page-long interview concerns Resident Evil 5. He reveals that Capcom is planning on developing the Resident Evil series on a multiplatform basis, and would thus like to release both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the RE5 simultaneously. He won't get into specifics, citing the mysteries surrounding the PS3 launch. Inafune also mentions that Capcom is planning on giving RE5 Online elements. Again, details will have to wait. No! Not another online game! :shock: I guess this would be a good place to discuss what you think RE5 will be like. I've read that it's going to be a direct sequel to RE4, but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Do you think Leon will return as the main character? And if not, who would you like to see them bring back? Discuss! :P

I hope the online elements are few and optional. If I wanted interaction with other humans then I wouldn't be playing video games in the first place.

Ha ha. Amen to that! I'm with cowboy on that one, the online elements being few. I got the first outbreak game and i didnt like it at all and didnt even get the second one. As for charachters i know it might be out of the question but maybe jill or claire. Id like to see jill back in action. However seem as though its going to be a male charachter then chris i suppose, leon needs a break i think after all that action. Does anyone know weather its the same virus or are the zombies makin a comeback special?

Personally kinda off the subject, I would like to see hunk in his own game. And I think Carlos from Nemesis should have a go at some RE5 action.

maybe the online is co-op?

Yeah that automatic was music to my ears :twisted:

has anyone seen the trailer yet? http://www.resevil.com/main/mediafiles.html First one, anyways, I was looking at a comparison picture of Chris from RE1:Remake and that guy in the trailer awhile back when the news was new.... That's GOT to be Chris. Only difference is that he's gained a bit of weight on the cheeks.

Yeah, outbreak REALLY sucked. And, if 5 is ANYTHING like 4, it will definately kill. It would also be cool if HUNK made an appearance as well. He's my favourite character from "The Mercenaries" (neckbreaker!!). That probably is Chris in the trailer. I mean, who else could it be?

THose speedy zombos are Freaky!

I'm 90% sure RE5 will prove to be everything RE4 wasn't. With all the hype and controversy surrounding RE4, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Plus, it wasn't very scary in my opinion. If it is a survival horror game I seek, I expect bigger scares and less ammo to go around. RE4 did not have these qualities. Thus, I do not welcome the new changes. :(

I copied this from the front page of the main site. In an IGN interview, Takeuchi, a spokesperson for Capcom, had this to say concerning the gameplay in RE5: 1. Enemies that overwhelm in hoards ("...a scene from the film Black Hawk Down, when a US chopper crashes to the ground and is swarmed by natives. The theme of getting out of a tight corner is a staple of the original Resident Evil, and is something that the development staff wants to work on with RE5.") 2. "This time, we can also expect wider, brighter environments, including scenes of intense sunlight." 3. "RE5 runs in high definition, and one of the things the development staff wanted to do was use the new visual power at its hands to communicate the sense of atmosphere to the player." 4. "...heat is a central theme to the game, with Takeuchi suggesting that when it's particularly hot, you'll want to cool down in a cave."
