Interesting is not the word i would use for that trailer.....

Then what. It looks pretty gruesome to me.

Where's my zombies? :mad:

Looks like more crazed villagers.

As good as they were, Zombies > Villagers.

B O R I N G

Not exactly much happening is there. atmospheric music, nice looking visuals.....and that's it. That hasn't got me interested one little bit.

2 new screens I found. Wow.

Do Nintendo still have that exclusive deal with Capcom? Or is this one going 360/PS3 route?

The teaser above was debuted during Microsoft's time at E3, so it's probably safe to assume multi-platform

PS3 and 360. Not Wii

Wii is getting Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

It's just like House of the Dead. A first person shooter where the game itself moves you around.

Oooooh

Hence the Zapper then yeah?

It probably was uninteresting because:

1. They didn't show any actual gameplay footage, just a prerendered movie that didn't use the hardwares.

2. It wasn't that long.

3. It was a 360 E3 trailer, which, with all fanboyism aside, many felt Microsoft didn't do too well in showing off anything very appealing (even the Halo 3 trailer looked like shit according to the G4 people). To be fair, the PS3 trailer from the same game didn't show too much more, but it was more than what we saw here.

So long as the game is as good as RE4 I'm good.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...a63b18d8_o.jpg

Yeah but look how many enemys are on the screen at one time. Damn.

And they are all BLACK

Unless that's just a movie sequence.

And that would be the point where I realize that I only have about two bullets left...and wish there was the suicide option.

frag em

My God, this game is going to be epic.

Seriously hope the rumors are true about Wesker bringing back Umbrella....To me, that was the BEST thing about the past REs and for them to dissolve Umbrella like they did in 4, and go to something completely different is asinine to me.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Las Plagas thing. It's creepy as shit. But nothing beats old school RE plots.

http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/7...80/vids_1.html

HOLY SHIT

Check out the new extended E3 trailer. Shows actual gameplay. Trailer is also up on XBL Marketplace.

The new trailer proves otherwise!

I think I filled the cup. :drool:


It looks like Las Plagas are back, judging from the actions of the enemies. But they can't drop the T/G thing so easily. I'm hoping for a mixture of the two that doesn't come off as being horribly cliche.

I really think this one is gonna be shit...
Watched the trailer on my 360 and it was just stupid.
Since when do zombies spear and rugby tackle people and chuck axes?

its got nothing on the ammount of zombies on screen for dead rising lol
http://www.zombieculture.com/img/DR360_01.jpg

They're not zombies.

After watching the gameplay footage for RE5 and the 15 min demo of MGS4, I have the incredible urge to run out and buy a PS3 :|


Also, Chris Redfield is horrendously misproportioned :lol:

Saw it the other day, totally awesome.

Fucking awesome. Who the fuck was that chick.

fuk if this retains the same fast pacing, story and camera angle of RE4, this is gonna be amazing.

Digging the new chick's design.

fuck yeah @ new trailer

And to the person who prefers Umbrella... I KINDA agree but I feel the series needs to evolve. I am sure Umbrella is somehow connected anyway.

Wow.

I can not wait for this, seriously. Awesome.

Are they the same things from resi 4?

Looks like it, only they're black people. :shifty:

Plagas were pretty cool be interesting to see their role in 5 however I swear to god if one of those fucking Spider ones jumps out of someones head in this game I will shove the disc up whoever's idea that was.

Normal spiders are fucking bad enough. Spiders that jump out of someones head after it explodes can go fuck themselves.

I just pray that there are no snakes in the crates.

Creeped me out every single time.

The African chick's name is Sheva, and someone you know will be able to play her in a co-op mode, giving you the ability to use co-op moves.

The game looks awesome, but it didn't look much different than Resident Evil 4 to me.

You still had your same basic enemies. You had the evil worm-lookin' things busting out of people's heads, the guys with the chainsaw, and the same basic zombies.

Regardless, I'll probably pick this up as soon as I can afford to take out a mortgage on a Playstation 3!

More of the same is fine by me.

If it aint broke don't fix it. Words Capcom knows well. (Of course they tend to not fix it even when it is broke.)

So I guess that chicks name is Sheva.

christ the driving had better not be co-op

Shit this game looks hot. Wesker's back in a big way. This looks more connected to the mythology than part 4.

RIP Jill Valentine.

Holy shit, I wonder where that one is heading. So pumped for this.

And Wesker looks amazing as always.

What? When did this happen?

I guess they'll explain it in the game.

Awesome trailer, cant wait for it.

Downloaded the demo from Demonoid and burnt it to a cdr and it works. :cool: It's all in English too. and HOLY SHIT it's fucking hard. One stage you have to deal with a shitload of villagers and the Executioner with his giant Axe at the same time. I died. Definately some frustrating moments in this game.

I was thinking today, the villagers are cool and all but they should have added zombies too. Have like a stage of villagers and a stage of zombies and then both at the same time and shit.

Cannot fucking wait. I hope it isn't mostly in daylight like the trailer is. I want to bring the scary back. :(

Fucking awesome. Never was a resident evil fan, til I played 4. That game was immense. It was really fulfilling too, as it was MUCH longer than I originaly thought it would be. Like, when I fought the village chief, I was like "Alright, final boss, here we go."

Wrong, Fignuts. Wrong.

Hopefully this one follows suit.

To be fair, only like, two of the original RE games were actually worth a shit anyway. The series was definitely starting to drown in its own regurgitated vomit by the time 4 rolled around, so it was not only totally awesome in its own right, but it was also a breath of fresh air.

And it really kicked off Capcom's "Eat It Motherfuckers, We Kick Ass" tour. Seriously, so much of my fucking money is going to Capcom right now, it's preposterous.

I'm playing the demo and YOU'RE NOT!

Yes I am. I even played online before it blocked non-Japanese people

Oh and split screen co-op is in, but it's only full screen in SD. Here is what it looks like in HD

http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/11630...52-noscale.jpg

What about Live co op? :(

That will be full screen, natch

I'm asking is it in the game?

Yes

The cpu AI on Sheva is kinda iffy. Sometimes she just stands there and gets grabbed. Hope they fix that.

Does anyone have any information on a Limited Edition? I just checked and it says there is one but no info. The only info is for a Japanese LE but I doubt we would get the same as Japan.

Demo hits Marketplace next week I think.

Nice. I'm a sucker for Limited Edition anything. I have the LE Mass Effect (Which, looking back, wasn't worth it but it was very cheap) and I've pre ordered the LE Street Fighter IV. Providing it's price isn't too high, I'll get the RE5 LE. Though, I have a friends birthday in March so I may have to stick to the standard edition.

The latest trailer for download on the 360 says the 26th of January. So, just 3 days away. A section on UK 360s called "SentUAMessage" says the demo will have some co-op to try out.

$79.99


Way too much, IMO.

Ars Technica have a 360 mole, who's previously been fairly solid, so we'll run with this: Capcom and Microsoft have teamed up to offer a special edition Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360. And that console will come as part of a larger bundle, a bundle that includes:
* Red 360
* Red control pad
* Resident Evil 5
* Resident Evil 5 NXE theme
* Download coupon for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD
The mole had no word on price or availability, nor any official pics, so we'll have to wait for the anti-climactic press release announcement for those.

I love my 360. I really do. And I may go for this one, since I need a new one anyways.

But half of me wonders how many jokes we'll see about MS making the console red in order to hide the RROD. :shifty:

I downloaded the demo today but I haven't really played it yet. I played about 2 minutes of it before I had to stop to do other stuff. I played RE4 on the Wii so I'm a bit surprised at how slowly aiming is done without a Wii Remote. It takes away from the sense of urgency when an enemy is approaching. Then again, I don't think I've played enough to make a definite decision. It also doesn't feel as satisfying gunning down these enemies as it did for the RE4 enemies.

I'm pretty tired after a busy day so I'm putting my first impressions of RE5 down to being too tired to appreciate and enjoy the demo. I'll try again tomorrow, probably.

Is the demo up on Live?

It went up for download in the UK at midday.

Also in the US. I am just now putting it on my queue from Xbox.com and I guess I'll start downloading whenever I sign on the 'Box later. Can't wait, but I got some serious homework for the day.

Also, it seems that the demo is exclusive to Gold Members.

Okay just finished downloading. I'll give it a go later on.

Well hard, which isn't a bad thing...but the aiming is to slooooow, suppose you get used to it. I'm used to call of duty and gears of war right now though so.....

What a fucking joke.

Pretty sure I'm never going to play that again.

lol why's that?

The aiming is slow, and I usually like low sensitivity on my aim. Problem is, these... things aren't gonna wait for you to line a shot. Me and my bro were running around like chickens constantly running out of ammo while the smart fuckers were flanking us to high hell. And this is one of the earlier areas?

Well it's a good challenge.

Good challenge? You're set up for failure from the beginning.

wimp

I have found it tedious so far.

Left 4 dead is a phenomenal zombie game and that's what i have been playing a lot of. In comparison resi5 demo sucks. It looks amazing no doubt, but i'm not convinced by the gameplay in the demo...not by a long way.

Sgand and I played through it yesterday and it is terrible. I didn't get through the 2nd level because I had to leave so I might run through it again but I dunno.

The aiming is slow. I get that. I understand that. It's a slower game. Fine. You could even say it's trying to be more tactical. Sure. But it is still balls. I'm not saying slow is bad, but THIS slow is. Haven't all RE games had a slow pace anyway?

So it's slower. I can get over that. As I play though the level a little more I get to a cutscene and then zombies come after. Fine. I shoot a few zombies. Reload. What have you. Nothing out of the normal.

Then suddenly I'm out of ammo. WTF? I ask sgand "Hey you have any ammo?" and no, he's out too. So now we switch to our secondary weapons and blow away a few more. We are scrounging for ammo the entire time but get nothing but herbs and gold and all that. Then the big boss with the ax breaks down the gate. It didn't occur to us to run past him so we unload shotgun/sniper rounds into him and he ends up pounding us to death.

So we reach that point again, and decide to run past him, saving as much ammo as we can. We have to wait for backup to come. Fine. We sprint to the other end of the gate, turn around, and who's behind us? The entire horde and the big slow ax wielding boss. He couldn't get to the fucking gate to break it down for a good 5 mins but now he's going to be on my ass the entire time?

Whatever. I try to headshot some zombies because I'm low on ammo and guess what? It takes 3 shots to the head to bring them down. It also takes 3 shots to the body to take them down. And how many shots do they start me out with? Like 10? How am I supposed to get ahead? I saw some explosive barrels and shot them but it didn't stop the bleeding.

So what do we do now? We're out of ammo, we can't move while knifing(god forbid), and we got angry ass African zombies on our tail the entire time. So our stratagy was to run. That's all. Just run around the entire fucking map.

And guess what, it worked. We survived! And then the demo ends. That was it. That was the level. You get to a cut scene, wait for the boss with the ax to break the gate, and then run around for 10 mins. That's what capcom wanted us to experience.

God it's bad. Just really bad. And then going into inventory is a bitch too. I even practiced that the on 2nd runthrough before we did anything and I still fucked it up.

I will say the graphics are great though. As is the sound.

Other than that...

This is sad news. Never a huge RE fan but they are fun games and 4 was quite good. Ah well.

I played it, I actually really - really enjoyed it. It's hard as all hell, but I love it.

How can you love it?....you're like one of those women who fall in love with serial killers on death row...you FREAK!

I'll say it was a little too action pack for my RE taste. Still looking forward to the whole game.

Dude, it's Rainbow 6 with zombies... how can you not love that?

Dude, it's nothing like Rainbow 6. :wtf:

It's incredibly teamwork oriented, relies on tons of conversation between you and who-ever you're co-oping with. Well placed shots mean more than spraying bullets, there is a huge focus on ammo conservation and the it's a slower pace. That all is Rainbow 6. The inventory system is reminiscent of the the early Rainbow games on top of it all.

Obviously it's not identical, but there are more comparison to be drawn between the two of those then other shooters.

You guys do know it's still a work in progress don't you? I won't judge until I've at least rented the complete game first.

Oh, I thought I downloaded the whole game?

Then they have a loooong way to go. They must be redicoulusly behind sscheduale
