Resident Evil 5 Screenies

Bear in mind, of course, that these are only shots of the current work-in-progress - and that, historically, more than one previous Res Evil game has gone back to the drawing board (Res Evil 2 and Res Evil 4 most notably).

Apparently, Resident Evil 5 is planned for release on Playstation 3 and X-Box 360 consoles. No release date is yet known, however.

Thanks alot for the pics Sado. I am just now playing through RE 4 a fourth time. I think it looks fantastic. I have a feeling that it will use cutscenes with the already there graphics like in RE 4 as opposed to the pre rendered stuff of prior games. I have to say that the hero looks like Carlos Olivera. Also he appears to be in either Mexico city or maybe the middle east/somalia type enviornment. It would kinda fit into his whole paramilitary theme for it to take place in the middle east. Once again thanks.
Have a good day (Where did you get the pics?)

[Dead Remains]

Awesome pics! And I agree, he could be Carlos. Where did you get these pics from? This game is going to be unreal, especially with the amazing graphics it will have on the next gen consoles. Too bad we're going to have to wait a while b4 we can play it. But thats ok, i can just play re4 a billion more times while i wait.

[Dead Remains]

i just read from rehorror that it was taken from a trailer, but i can't find the trailer anywhere. I want to see it!!!

[Sadogoat]

From the site they are linked from. Most gaming sites will probably have coverage of some sort in the next 48 hours. I found out through The Horror Channel website.

[Quinn]

Yeah I just checked dread central. I guess it is Chris Redfield from the article I read. Apparenlty the whole RE gang has decided to invest in team shirt without sleeves. Both Leon and Chris suffer from the horrible disease Mysleevesfeeloff. OR possibily they cannot afford them due to all the money invested in zombie fighting world hopping.
Have a good day

Edit: Here is a link to more indepth article about RE 5 including the nature of the enemies, combat, and the use of the sun. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/635/635114p1.html.

[MADMAN]

I'm going to check out the site later. (Thanx for the link, BTW) I have to say, I am most impressed, not by the graphix, as RE has always been gorgeous, but rather, by that sillohuette shot of the zombies (?). That was phenomenal, and I think, a first for the series.

[Chibi]

wow looks excellent, look better on my pc tho :P
thanx for these, i didnt even know a res 5 was in planning

[MADMAN]

I guess they're not going back to the zombies for this one. *sigh* I want zombies back dammit!!!!

I know, the franchise is about bio-weapons, but the whole zombie aspect is what made them so great. (along w/a few other things of course) Honestly, I wasn't too impressed by Dino Crisis. Sure, I thought it was funny when Perry jacked it for her second RE novel, but that doens't mean I liked the game.

Go ahead and take the franchise in a new direction, great. But no zombies and now a sunny desert locale? WTF?!?!?!?!

[SGT. DEATH]

Great pics,I would love to run through the streets of RE2 but with the playing style and graphics of RE4.Im looking foreward to RE5. :drinking:

[Slumlord]

Can't get enough Resident Evil. But I do want the zombies back as I've been told there are none in RE4 :-( But I'll still grab it when it's available, I'll pay full price for that one.

[nirvroxx]

im probably gonna end up buying a next gen console just for this game....thats what i did when nintendo announced resident evil exclusivity on gamecube
looks great....it certianly looks like chris to me...wonder who else will be in it?

[Tainted Love]

Looks sweet. Hope it's fully 3D like RE4 and not a throw back to the previous games.

[Pain]

Those pics do look mighty fine. Whets the appetite already! :)

[Zombie Survivor]

Looks like the T-virus is in the Middle East now... are those shadows from zombies, or from crazed (28DL) villagers like RE4?

[Dead Remains]

hey! the trailer is up! it looks sweet! watch it now! (http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/734/734381/vids_1.html)

[Zombie Survivor]

Wow, It looks really cool and creepy with those shadows...

[Quinn]

Those fellows can run with a quickness.
Have a good day
Quinn

[Dark Prince]

Yes, running zombies!!!!! :pray:

[Divided Soul]

Sweet Stuff there Sado.... Man I need a new fix of RE.... I've played re4 like 5 times now.... heres to the wait :dirnking:

[nirvroxx]

Yes, running zombies!!!!! :pray:

they're probably not zombies, but more along the lines of the enemies from RE4...

[MADMAN]

It certainly gives us a better look at the screen caps that Sado posted, but overall it left me more frustrated than anything. I mean, that was definitley a teaser if I ever saw one, plus, the whole running enemy thing, while terrifying, is just another departure from what made me a fan of this series.

Also, in the article that I read, the guy from Capcom said that they weren't planning on using zombies, so I think Nirvoxx is right and we are looking at something along the lines of 4.

Now, I love 4, I actually broke my own rule and paid more than twenty bucks for it. But I love it for the gorgeous graphics, sweet game play and the fact that I get to play as Leon. It's a good story, but IMO, it ain't a ResEvil story. Now they go and do the same thing with the new one, and on top of that, they set it in a sunny desert. :x

[Darth Erroneous]

Well, we can't say at this point that it's not a Resident Evil. Sure it's set in a desert, but look at RE4. It went from a village to a castle to an island. It would be rather rushed if all of the sudden we have limping zombies in RE again. It would make RE4 seem like Super Mario 2 and we would think, "What the f*ck was that all about?" What I'm guessing we'll see is the reemergance of Umbrella in some form. For all we know it takes place in a third world country where Umbrella was conducting experiments away from the prying eyes of the civilized world. They could be using a hybrid T-Virus/La Plagia virus. It's all up in the air right now and I'm sure it'll make sense when it comes back to earth. And remember, the version of RE4 that we played was actually the forth version.

i think umbrella might actually be in this one...if you all remember in the knife fight between krauser and leon, krauser actually speaks of the "rebirth" of umbrella...which is where i belive wesker will come in. he'll probably be the main antagtonist in part 5, as he was in code veronica.
well thats all speculation of cousrse.

Espcially if it is Chris in this one. (If you notice his bowie is strapped to his back) I really think after all the years since Veronica we need another Redfield/Wesker fight. but I don't know if I could being myself to kill Wesker. He's been a part of the series for so long that it would be like ending the whole thing if he died.

[devourthesun]

looks awesome, Cant wait for this game, and as long as it handles as nicely as RE4, Were good

[Divided Soul]

I would hope that they used the same engeine especially seeing as it was immensly popular

[Darth Erroneous]

I would hope that they used the same engeine especially seeing as it was immensly popular
But let us strafe as well as fire and reload while running!

[nirvroxx]

But let us strafe as well as fire and reload while running!

that would be a true action-horror game...im sure they would think of adding strafing and shooting while running in this version, well with all the fast paced enemys and all.BTW i just saw the teaser trailer, and WOW! I cant wait!

[possessed_cop]

this looks pretty intense. i'll check it out for sure.

[Dead Remains]

this is what has me confused. i know that the rumors say that it is chris redfield but first of all it doesn't look like him, and i've been comparing the pics with billy coen which bares a much closer resemblence. Also Billy had been framed for killing 23 people in Africa....Africa a hot place. I dunno maybe its just a coincidence, but if you think about it why would chris go to africa or mexico or wherever this place is when umbrella's hq was in europe. The only reason why it cant be Billy is his tattoos! They are not there! So I am confused. But seriously, just admit that it doesn't look like chris. I know that interview with the creator hinted that it is chris but that doesn't mean its definite. Just do me a favor and look at the re5 pics and then look at all screenshots that you can find of billy. Compare the eyes, nose, even eyebrows! While your doing that I will try to figure out what the re5 story could possibly be.

[Pain]

Trailer looks very good! Looks like it will be high on everyones Must get list

I will agree with you on this one; he does look a lot like Billy. But if you compare a picture of Leon from RE2 and RE4, they do look different so that could account for the differences. It could just be a new rendering of Chris...of course, they already a good rendering in REmake though... :think:

[Dead Remains]

exactly, chris' whole facial structure looks different from recv to re1 remake but they are remaking his face again? I just don't understand

[Darth Erroneous]

I forget who mentioned it above, but they mentioned that it could be an older Chris. And if you think about it, since RE4 happened six years after the Raccoon city incident, and Code V took place right after that...we can assume that 5 takes place at least 7 years after Veronica which would put Chris at close to Thirty. Just an idea. :)

it really doesnt look like chris...like it was metioned earlier, maybe its carlos from nemesis...or it could be billy, and he just had the tatoos removed, since he is trying to evade the Man and all.

who knows...it could be an entirely new character to us!

[SpaceTurtle]

hmmm I am still puzzles about the running shadows...
either they are a 3rd sort of zombie (IF 1.Progenitor/T-,G-Virus; 2.Las Plagas)
or they are already a combination of the old ones, and i only know 1 guy to accomplish that :p
teh Wesker!!
I really hope that there wont be too many clichées from the last years regarding the middle east setting.
And I bet the guy is Carlos.....just a feeling...cause the Carlos in the Movies, i mean the actor, looks a bit...chubby in the face. Maybe it is a statement. That they inteded Carlos to be a sexeh latin lover. Who knows...

[Dead Remains]

well it could make sense to be carlos cuz if it takes place in south america and you know carlos, latin guy living there....it could work. Billy coen to work too with the story if it was africa, but why the hell would chris need to go to africa or south america?

[Sadogoat]

According to a recent statement by Capcom, they are also looking into the possibility of releasing Resident Evil 5 for the Nintendo Revolution and the PC. Obviously, neither is a definite yet.

Personally, I'd rather see them put Dead Rising on PC. :)

[Chibi]

yeah i wud rather see dead rising on the pc, the resident evils are getting a bit dull IMO

[SpaceTurtle]

@Sadogoat

well this will be exciting till the end cause Capcom loves money...

@Chibi
I got a very bad feeling that Microsoft will pull another "exclusive licensing" stunt with that title (title delayed for >1year for other systems).....i hate them

[Dizasterpiece114]

You can go to www.residentevilfan.com (http://www.residentevilfan.com) for all information and stuff on it.

[warior 13]

I hope its Billy, he was my all time favourite Resident Evil charactor, Resedent Evil 4 was AMAZING in gameplay, just very, very dissapointing without the zombies, I don't know who the idiot is who is responsible for the removal of zombies from a game that is based around them, its just not the same...

Oh well, maybe I could sent alot of emails to Capcom telling them to bring zombies back to the series. Maybe they will change thier minds about RE5...

i really doubt it...it seems like they have their mind set on not having zombies anymore becuase to capcom,the games were getting a bit too "predictable" and well...they really were. i welcome this new style of gameplay and new storyline...its fresh. granted, there arent any zombies, but before playing part 4 I had never experience that kind of action in any RE game; and more action is always good, when it comes to games!

[Darth Erroneous]

Capcom knows that it's fans like zombies. I think with this new path, they are just finding a way to reintroduce the zombie as a more deadly and different enemy to the series.

[warior 13]

They better be planning some way to bring back zombies and make them seem even cooler. These new enemies just don't cut it.

[nirvroxx]

i still dont think these new enemies will be zombies. zombies are done for in capcoms eyes.

You can't make zombies the scapegoat for the predictability of the franchise. The blame for that rests solely on the shoulders of the creators. The innovations in RE4 are in gameplay, not their choice of enemies. I am certain that those same innovations could have been brought to bear on a title that included zombies.

Also, in a sense, these enemies are as much zombies as the ones in Keene's novels. Obviously my preference lies for the more traditional view of zombies, but at least they left it somewhat zombie-esque.

I too would like to see a return to their roots, so to speak. Perhaps Raccoon City is nothing but a radioactive puddle and the Umbrella corporation has found itself in dire straits but that does not preclude the existence of other, now defunct facilities, nor the possibility of an outbreak.

Ultimately, Capcom is going to do whatever the hell they want with the franchise. It is possible that we could organize some sort of email campaign, but I fear that it would come to naught. One can only wait and see.

im not making zombies the scapegoat of capcoms predictability,im just sating this because I read it in EGM when they interviewed some of developers and seen it in "the making of RE4" dvd. and well, zombies were getting predictable. we had 5 big RE titles that all had zombies,and were all pretty much plotted out the same way. all with the big "countdown boss fight before the whole place goes up" setting. im sorry, but that IMO was getting stale...they even used that in RE4!
they could have added zombies to RE4, but in the dvd, they specifically said they wanted to vear away from that since it had been done so many times before. they felt that adding zombies would take away from RE4's new innovattive gameplay.
I did like the fact that they kept the zombie-esque feel, with the new enemies, my preference too would have been for them to keep zombies, but I also feel that would have taken away from the games innovations.
going back to their roots would be taking a step back...doing more of the same 'ol RE. I like the direction th RE franchise is going, and couldn't be more excited about it.

[MADMAN]

I do agree that the third act ticking clock with a boss fight was and is quite stale. I haven't gotten all that far in outbreak, but I like where that series was headed (although the difficulty level on normal is unspeakable). I don't think that going back to their roots would necessarily be a step backwards. RE Redux? That was a phenomenal game that added several excellent new aspects to the series. Frankly, I think that they should take the combat engine they've innovated in RE4 and follow Rockstar's lead. A sandbox style zombie game with several ways to play through it would IMO be jizz-worthy. I understand, can appreciate, and even support a move to take the franchise in new directions, but by their vehement rejection of zombies, I think, in a way, they are rejecting all of those gamers that made RE one of the most successful video game franchises in history.

those are some good points...following a GTA tpye game wouldnt be such a bad idea at all. i was never to fond of outbreak...it seemed to hard, and i didnt like that it wasnt a linnear story and instead was divided into levels. and the AI was dumber than nails....i dont think capcom is necessarily rejecting the fans...but changing before the fans got bored of playing the same thing over and over...I think they got bored of making the same game , so they said "screw it! lets do somethin else." anyway, i'll support capcom in whatever the direction they will take the series in. i really do like that GTA type RE.

[warior 13]

I wouldn't want the GTA graphics or gameplay style (3rd person view, lock-on shooting and such), the RE4 style is by far the best yet, that should stay. But having it non linear like GTA is a great idea.

[FredGavioes]

watch the trailer.. for re5...there will be zombies.... fast ones. they run in the trailer.

Awesome! Fast zombies are WAY better than European guys! :lol:

Fast zombies...uhm well, yeah, they are better than whacked out acid tripping spaniards. But then any zombie is better than that.

[Victor Clark]

I know he looks a bit like Chris Redfield, but I just saw a pic of this dude in EGM, and do any of you guys think he looks suspiciously like the handsome version of Shrek in Shrek 2? Just look at the resemblence!

I was acually talking about when Shrek turned handsome in Shrek 2. Make another one of those things with the pretty Shrek insted to show the uncanny resemblence THEN.
