Images shared by the magazine were taken from a two minute high definition video clip in which the game's main character finds himself in the alleys of a desert city, being chased by a mysterious group of enemies. In describing the setting and content of the game, Takeuchi recalls 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.

I must see that video

he enemy are meant to come after you in great numbers, conveying the sense of insanity of hoards of natives that Takeuchi took away from Black Hawk Down.

I guess RE is going to follow the same thing of 100's of objects on screen. Sounds damn cool though.

I am not surprised this thread failed to deliver.

I think I speak for Amir0x when I say "NOT NEW INFO".

Bitch.

i hope like in Black Hawk Down, Chris Redfield (?) can switch weapons on the fly quickly without going through the damn menu

 

[imastalker co.]

well, assuming the new team doesn't fuck up, i like this direction.

i mean, it's an action game, and if they're just using Black Hawk Down as inspiration as far as the enviroment goes, well, that's fine. if everything is super destrucable, well, that's just a great enviroment to be in a tight situation if you ask me.

oh, and i mean great as far as atmosphere goes. obviously i'd rather but fucked around the corner than some RE5 world.

 

[Timen]

the trailer is still nowhere to be found i'm sure?

 

[fugimax]

Anyone worried that RE5 could turn into SmashTV?

Hundreds of zombies/whatevers storming at you...you'd have to have a big gun and they'd have to go down in 1 shot.

Suddenly RE sucks because its on the 360 ?

RE4 was the game of this generation, if RE5 is only half as good its still going to be a great game.

no one is saying that the game sucks because it's on 360 as well.

although we do have reason to be cautious about it since it's not being made by the RE4 team.

What team IS it being developed by? The original team?

What? Don't be silly. It sucks because it isn't on a Nintendo system.

Honestly, I think it looks fantastic and sounds very interesting. But I have many reservations. RE4 was an outstanding success. But I've never much liked the series otherwise. I actually sort of hope that the new team (comprised of who?) forsakes great ambition and largely copies the RE4 formula.

Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it yet.

yep. i'm expecting to see some "RE4 wasn't that great" threads around this November as the complete version is released.

I was actually kidding. Obviously Nintendo fans are going to be reluctant to be positive, as with any similar situation (ie, RE from PSX to GC), but "sucks"? No.

And no one's going to change their mind on RE.... but some WILL incessantly point out the PS2 version's shortcomings, meanwhile downplaying the additions (such as, 16 weapons instead of 15).

 

[Wario64]

wait for the inferior Revolution port!!

 

[TheDiave]

The whole bit about the game supposedly having a part in a desert, and there also seems to be a city part; Those were two of the environments in the fourth RE novel, "underworld." That'd be awesome if RE5 had a similar plot.

BTW, the book is a great read if you're an RE fan and haven't ever read it.
