Resident Evil 5 - Alternative E3 trailer

Published 8 August, 2008 Duration 2:12

This is the secondary trailer from E3, featuring some chap in a spooky raven mask which owes more than a little to doctor's outfit during the Black Death, as well as flawed diamond Pathologic. The other outfit on show is not nearly so practical.

    What's a Balck mask?

  • Crovax20 #2 4 years ago

    meh

  • mikew1985 #3 4 years ago

    looks super-b, looking forward to it.

    But is it just me or did it look like there were a *few* too many explosions for an RE game?

    Anyway regardless looks excellent.

  • t8yman #4 4 years ago

    hmmmmmmmmm, sideboobs.

  • Turambar #5 4 years ago

    Looks like theres a Nemesis/Pyramid Head style recurring monster dude.

  • bad09 #6 4 years ago

    I'm sure it will be an excellent arcade shooter, and of course I'm still getting it, but after seeing it play at E3 I'm not that excited anymore. More excited about the new CGI movie with (gasp) ZOMBIES!!!

    / goes back to playing Resi 2

  • DUFFMAN5 #7 4 years ago

    Looking good. I have said it before but for 6 can we please revisit Raccoon city, just update Resi2.

  • penhalion #8 4 years ago

    Wasn't the black masked thing a woman?
    Why was the other (side boob) woman injecting herself with the virus?
    Will batman escape the clutches of the evil Joker?

    Tune in next time...same bat time...same bat channel....er hang on a sec....

  • bad09 #9 4 years ago

    DUFFMAN5 I think we should get a petition going for HD updates of 1-3 on PSN (and Live if MS will drop the size limit)

  • illusiondance #10 4 years ago

    if it werent for the odd zombie in that trailer i could have mistaken it for MGS footage, the art direction is precisely the same. Has kojima secretly been working for capcom?
    Its also nice to see a left handed game character for possibly the first time in history (though i hasen to add im not one of those wrong hand freaks!)

  • Zomoniac #11 4 years ago

    Nice sideboobs. That dude in the mask gives it a bit of an Eyes Wide Shut vibe. Maybe the chick'll get her kit off in some kind of orgy?

    It looks absolutely phenomenal. Probably better than Gears 2. But it'll be shite, just like RE4 was.

    But please Capcom, if you're not going to redo the lip-synching for the English version, have the option for Jap voices. That scene at the start looks fucking stupid.

  • RESIDENT_nEVILe #12 4 years ago

    screw the sideboobs, where's the frontbottom?

  • Zomoniac #13 4 years ago

    Its also nice to see a left handed game character for possibly the first time in history

    Link is left-handed in all but the Wii version of TP.

  • Goodfella #14 4 years ago

    But it'll be shite, just like RE4 was.

    Tell me that was a joke?

    If not...burn the heretic!

  • Inquisitor #15 4 years ago

    It's Altair.

  • illusiondance #16 4 years ago

    damn that Altair, so sneaky

  • agparrot #17 4 years ago

    Really does look very impressive.

    The violence looks great. Not sure if I'm too old or too jaded, but the continuous inclusion of female characters depicted for the predeliction of teenage boys is getting a bit old, too.

    Why the fuck should I care about 'sideboobs' or any other pre-pubescent fantasies in a game about zombie-killing. Or any other fucking game. When big names like Capcom stoop to this level, it is a wonder that female games journalists aren't going off their rockers having to pander to this churlish male demographic.

    Oh, wait.

  • Quint2020 #18 4 years ago

    Would.

  • Physically_Insane #19 4 years ago

    This isn't new. I seen this on Gametrailers about a month ago.

  • Quint2020 #20 4 years ago

    In other news the game looks really good.

  • J.C #21 4 years ago

    And todays retard award goes to Zomoniac.

  • GrandTheftApu #22 4 years ago

    Awesomer

  • mattigan #23 4 years ago

    It's the Mos Eisley spy from Star Wars!!!!

  • mkreku #24 4 years ago

    I like sideboobs. I wish there were more sideboobs in my life.

  • Zomoniac #25 4 years ago

    Why am I the retard? You all complain a LOT that RE 1/2/3/0/VC have a terrible control scheme. Then RE4 comes out and has EXACTLY the same archaic, shite, clunky control scheme, with the same turning mechanic that takes an hour to go 90 degrees in either direction, only now with a more restricted field of vision, not ideal when you're surrounded. They didn't actually fix ANYTHING, they just shifted the viewpoint to make it less obvious and added a clunky aiming shooty thing that inexplicably can't be used whilst moving. And then you lot all sing its praises to the high heavens, for being everything you hated but with a fixed camera angle??

    I'm afraid I don't buy into the 'let's make it scary by making it restrictive to control' idea. You make the game scary with things that are scary, not by making you panic because you can't get away from a monster when your character has the turning speed of a beached whale.

    Which is a shame, because so much about RE4 is great. But it's so horrible to play. If it played like a slowed down version of Gears it would be a hundredfold improvement.

  • nedgip #26 4 years ago

    Brilliant trailer. Great tits.

  • Ares #27 4 years ago

    Great rant Zomoniac! :D

  • Feanor #28 4 years ago

    You can go 90 degress instantly by using the C-stick in combination with the R button. The rest of your rant is rubbish, too, because Leon's regular turning speed is not that slow, and being able to see everything directly in front of you and a little bit behind you is a lot better & more natural than a fixed camera angle that often obscured enemies and made manual aiming a crapshoot rather than the pixel perfect shooting that's possible in RE 4.

  • actionfitz #29 4 years ago

    Hurrah for Sideboob.

  • eggis #30 4 years ago

    finally a cg post-op lady

    i reckon this series is less residential, more industrial

    industry evil... wait, that sounds like a documentary

  • Riggers #31 4 years ago

    Apart from the dodgy camera angles on the side-boobage, it's looking great. The only thing that I worry about is whether Resident Evil loses a bit of its charm in big open spaces, rather than having the 'trapped' feeling of being in a mansion/police station/underground lab.

    And did I spy a minecart?

  • Feanor #32 4 years ago

    Yeah, I noticed that too. The minecart bit in Resi 4 was great, even if it was only slightly less cliched than lava & ice levels.

  • VMerken #34 4 years ago

    Did someone stitch Steve (or Leonardo diCaprio) back together?Either way, this looks good and now I think I know where Sherry is.

    Oh, and Zomoniac: you might want to read RE4's instruction manual a little more in-depth. If not, I have a nice FAQ you can peruse.

    Deagle: I share your sentiment, but also have to admit that this trailer showed enough new material which may just earn the game a true "5" moniker rather than "4.5". Let's just wait...

    Bad09 and similars: while the days of backtracking, hex and square cranks, valve handles, emblems, medals and plugs were great, the new facelift really isn't that bad. This time, YOU get to choose when to backtrack (for extra ammo and weapons) and the puzzles are clever and don't require you to go back ten areas because you forgot to pick up a crucial item. Horror moments are fewer, but have more impact. Plus, being attacked by multiple, dangerous enemies in small areas does create a new, interesting type of tension I never experienced in the older REs. In my opinion, what was gained by the franchise outweighs what was lost.

    If the gameplay matches the visuals, this game is mine! (ahh who am I kidding I want my collection complete anyways :)

  • bad09 #35 4 years ago

    "In my opinion, what was gained by the franchise outweighs what was lost. "

    The fact I still play the old Resi games and 4 is gathering dust tells me different VMerken ;)

    Don't get me wrong RE4 was a really good game, but as I've said before, It just wasn't a very good Resi game......

  • megamixer #36 4 years ago

    This is Resident evil 5 not some two bit nipple peep show in Rio de Janeiro.

    "Looks like a less agile Gears of War, I want to be frightened in the dark. not bothered in the sun. "

    Rent a place in Hackney, then.

  • BlackKraken #39 4 years ago
