Or if you're like most people playing the game, you'll need her nearby to revive you. ^_^ But yeah, someone with your rank on the leaderboards probably does all the saving. You are a Mercs god! Anymore videos coming up? They always drive home how this game has some of the best combat around.
I've uploaded some new versus mode videos recently:

Got 3 other ones I'm uploading right now. All these are of team slayer or team survivor (all from the PS3 version... since the 360 hates me). I should try to record from mercs videos again soon. I've had a lot of practice in versus mode to quickly aim, do quick turns and quickly juggling my inventory around, so all of that should help me in mercs mode too.

[lots of screengrabs from trailer]
Nice pictures. I personally think most of those scenes were specifically created for the trailer though. I imagine they loaded specific levels from the game without any enemies, spawned a few enemies around and then start to record for the trailer. It is a shame to see some of those scenes though, we never really got anything which looked like that really dark open area with enemies all around.

Hopefully they'll add new content for the PC version.

Gah, if I could I would do so. *kicks 360* Hopefully I'll have a working 360 in a few weeks I can record from.

Thanks for re-uploading those pictures by the way.

Blasphemy! Jill is easily the best looking character in the game.

I do prefer her BSAA outfit though, but zerosuit Samus... erm, I mean battlesuit Jill looks pretty nice too. And damn you all, I think her nose looks cute :p

And for the heck of it. Here's a few comparison pictures of Jill in REmake and RE5.

I would have compared with her BSAA outfit but I didn't find any good screenshots which worked well with the comparison. But well, you can see she looks very very similar. She definitely looks better in RE5, especially with the much improved lighting.

I could try to make comparison screenshots of Chris in in STARS uniform from REmake and RE5. Although I got a feeling that would just be pure comedy. He's been spending way too much time at the gym since REmake.

Sectus didn't give me any Tribal Sheva shots
Oh yeah? ;P Check your PM thingies!

Just after my 360 refused to keep working I decided stepframe through some of the footage I still had on my capture card harddrive raid to see if I could get some nice screenshots. So here's a few random screenshots from the versus mode...

This is something hilarious I only noticed when stepframing through one of the videos. I was shooting a rocket at someone standing still and picking up items from a safe, what I didn't notice when playing is that a licker was jumping at that player, and the rocket actually ended up hitting the licker instead of the player. So it looks like the licker was actually jumping in front of the player to save him. :lol

Speaking of which, explosions in the game looks amazing. Capcom did a great job in Lost Planet making explosions seem absolutely insane. Even when you're not directly looking at them it'll cause motion blur on the entire screen, add a visceral postprocessing filter and shake the camera. If you looked directly at an explosion, it would pretty much fill the entire screen for a split second. They used very similar techniques for RE5 which still looks extremely cool.

In one of the recent videos I had a moment where I was trying to snipe an enemy but I got grabbed just as I was going to shoot, but that incidentally gave me a cool look of my partner shooting a rocket launcher at an enemy. I couldn't take any nice screenshots due to the crappy quality I get with component captures from the PS3, but it works pretty nicely as an animated gif.
Also, this is the first animated gif I've made and it's probably way too big than it should be. Like this entire post actually.

4-1

GO GO GO
i do 4-1 for nice monies and some exchange points but if i want quick cash i do
5-2 from the start and when i get to "licker alley" i kill off the group for 5 red lion hearts and quit before leaving that room. from the "play" menu continue and you start at the beginning of the U-shaped hallway again. 12,500 per quick run at that point.

if you don't have unlimited ammo or a good weapon buy proximity mines, they're cheap and take out the lickers well.

I didn't think it was goofy at all. He was sick of the senseless delusional crap and just wanted to kill Wesker. Sheva asked a pointless question. It's like saying, "I wonder which genus and species this version of Uroburos is" while you're in a tanker trying to hit one of its ten flailing arms with the hammer of dawn.

I thought it was pretty goofy. Totally dismissive in an "anything I don't understand is unAmerican and therefore terrorism." When I heard that line, it sounded slightly like RE4 Leon's quote about terrorism. To be perfectly honest, I was hoping for more dialogue of that caliber. :lol

That makes two of us. This game will never get old for me at the rate I'm switching between single-player story, solo Mercs, co-op story, Duo Mercs, splitscreen story, splitscreen Mercs, Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers and Team Survivors. Not to mention perusing the Library and Leaderboards and mixing things up with Special Features in-between rounds.

Also good to see the consistency in Jill's look, I recognized her immediately.
For reals. Why are people acting like her nose changed? If anything it was bigger in REmake!

Jill is so HOT. I bet Sectus' 360 RROD'd because of it. And speaking of the good man:

Hay guys, if you're interested in playing some RE5 with Capcom folks (Seth & Kramer), hop into PlayStation Home tonight. We're having a game launching event in the Resident Evil space from 3PM to 7PM PST. It's very much a social event, so this will be a good time to make friends and find some Versus opposition.

Though I do have a quick question: do both players have to have completed the game in order to play The Mercenaries online? I had to start a new game this week (I played it on 360 originally, lawl), but I'd like to try it out tonight :(

Also: Tribal Sheva while hot is totally NSFW. I've never scrolled so fast :lol

Nono, Mercenaries, the co-op game you unlock after completing the game. Versus is the DLC you pay for to shoot each other in the face. I'm wondering if it'd let me play a game of Mercenaries with someone who has already completed it, so long as someone else is hosting.

It's the very definition of terrorism, though, and there's nothing vague about what Wesker's intentions are. What do you think he should to, have a summit with Wesker?

Not quite. Remember, terrorism is using scare tactics to coerce change. Wesker's plan was to "come like a thief in the night" and evolve everyone into Uroboros before they knew what hit them. In Wesker's plan, there's no scaring people to change their ways; he'll just straight-up change them.

Saddler, on the other hand, was a proper terrorist. He was holding Ashley ransom, threatening her safety to coerce the U.S. into paying up. Then there was the bit about sending her back home infected, presumably so she'd become a monster and instill greater fear of Los Illuminados in the populace. The "terrorist" label is more apt there.

The whole topic of terrorism is an interesting one. For instance, a lot of people like to say one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, when in reality a "freedom fighter" is just a terrorist you agree with. :D

Wesker's intentions are incredibly vague at the time Chris says the line. That's why his explanation is vague to Sheva- because he doesn't understand. In fact, it's at that point where Excella reveals she's not selling the virus to terrorists... so it's not clear at all what her motive is.

"Something about the philosopher's stone and harvesting DNA.... it doesn't matter WHAT she says, she's just a terrorist, end of story."

The point is, the line is just an example of a dismissive American stereotype, which is perfectly fine. It's obviously what Capcom is going for and it works. The same sort of dialogue can be seen in RE4.

Speaking of the "dismissive American stereotype," it's interesting how Capcom goes for it at the start of 5-2 but tries to invert it at the start of 1-1. If you stick around Civilian Checkpoint long enough (the part at the start with all the Majini staring at you), Chris will start complaining about capitalism, how the rich gain at the expense of the poor. Whereas most of the world thinks every American is a dog-eat-dog might-makes-right capitalist, here we have Chris depicted as a more socialist-minded bleeding-heart. America has a rich array of worldviews and it's nice to see that reflected.

I love Chris.

They gave Chris fewer dumb lines than Leon, and for that I'm torn. I really did enjoy hearing the crap that came out of Leon's mouth, as they were generally forehead slapping bad.

I guess they wanted to give Chris a little more brains and a lot more brawns. I never stayed in the Civilian Checkpoint long enough to hear that dialogue spoken.

I liked that piece of discussion, wasn't expecting it at all. Also made Chris look a little more smarter too.

But that shitty line following Uroboros II just made me realise he's just another American.

You should boot up 1-1 and do a couple things. First, as soon as you start the level, run immediately down the first alley on the right. You'll see a creepy cutscene many people miss. Then, stick around the area and DON'T advance to the next cutscene (the one where everyone disappears). Eventually Chris will start complaining about capitalism and how the poor always lose out and how many aren't cut out for that sort of cruelty, and Sheva will remark he's unlike any American she's ever met before, underscoring the whole notion of the world's view of Americans versus the wide range of philosophies Americans actually have.

I agree. Someone on GAF described him as "an invincible cartoon character" and I find that to be a very appropriate synopsis. Leon gave the feeling that he had no clue what the hell was going on, but he didn't care because he had a job to do.

One reason why I figured that Chris was going to follow suit was that line in the trailer:
"I do know one thing. I've got a job to do, and I'm going to see it through."

Thought some people might be interested in this interactive map I now have on my site. It covers every single map in the game.

At the moment, it doesn't have too much content because of how long it takes to find everything and then put it on the map (come on Capcom, randomized and semi-random ammo? That kills me), but it is fully community-based and interactive. Hopefully, it'll soon list all the treasure and BSAA emblem locations. Assuming I don't start coughing up blood because I've spent hours listing every handgun ammo in the game. Ugh.

Judging from how Leon turns down jailbait Ashley and Chris speaks of Jill as a mere coworker (Sheva: "You two must've been close." Chris: *dumb silence* "She was my partner), I wouldn't be surprised if a Leon-Chris team-up was rife with sexual underpinnings.

Capcom would then shoehorn in awkward appearances by lovely ladies to defuse the gayness (ala RE4's Hunnigan epilogue). They'd fail and the gayness would prevail. :lol

Look at the big picture. Wesker wouldn't have caused so much trouble if he didn't have poverty-stricken Africa to exploit. As Chris says in the beginning, the BSAA's concerns were that terrorists would destabilize the poor areas of the world, areas that are poor because of exploitation by capitalist "core" countries to the west. It's the economic inequities of Global North vs. Global South, rife with opportunities for Wesker to plunge the world into chaos.

Although, it's not as though Capcom has any problems fabricating remote islands for testing/infecting/terrorism purposes a la RE4.

Since Capcom wanted to bring the story full-circle by going to Africa where Umbrella began, it's not surprising they played up the link between terrorism and poverty-stricken countries. I thought they did a rather good job at it, too. Examples that come to mind are Sheva revealing how Umbrella got away using Africa as a testbed for its experiments, and the various files talking about how the terrorists tricked the Ndipaya tribe and exploited them, much like colonialists did when first "civilizing" Africa. It resonates in a way because real-life Africa is a flashpoint for crisis that too many states are ignoring, and much of the problem stems from its abject poverty.

EDIT: This page is a little bit deeper than the last page.

Jeez. hahaha... I was just about to say I think Capcom, after seeing all the gay jokes aimed at Leon for turning down Ashley, pretty much stripped RE5 of any romantic(?) subtext. It was really disappointing (to me, at least) that

Heh, I guess you could always argue "he didn't have time," as they needed to save the world from complete, global saturation. The whole story was a rollercoaster for him from that point forward.
