I agree.

3 did have a great idea.For me RE:3 still ranks as one of the scarier RE games.He’s so fast it’s like Super Turbo Akuma.

[R.P.D_rookie]

Never played Outbreak but I had fun watching some Youtube moments, particularly the cinema scenes from Below Freezing Point and Decisions Decisions. I forgot how cool Nicolai was until I saw that scene where he’s trying to get “blood” from Thanatos tyrant.

I sure do miss Raccoon City drama.:sad:

Poor stupid Umbrella personel:

UBCS#1"These 9mm rounds aren’t having any affect!"

UBCS#2"Don’t give up!"

**ME: **“Man, fuck you guys, I’m hittin that back alley running as fast I can towards Kendo Gun shop.”

His being saying that since he started posting here at first I thought it was a typo but after 10 times I figured he actually meant to type that.

Heat:

did nothing revolutionary at all?

Can you name me another game from that time and even now where you have a relentless enemy hunting you through out the game?

He wasnt just a boss, that guy chased you down non stop like the Terminator.

clocktower…

plus some dude chasing you down isnt exactly something “revolutionary” in gaming…interesting concept but nothing that would set any benchmarks…and i think clocktower might have come out before 3…

im outi

[doujinshi_2001]

and technically if you think about it, re2 did that before re3…its just that not the whole game was dedicated to you being chased down just the “B” scenarios

Neither is a guy who throws pitchforks at you.

jill FTW!

i wanna know wen that annoying kid from code veronica is gonna show his ugly mug, he snuck onto weskers boat… oh maybe hes dead now

btw yes wester has been comfirmed!

[System_1]

You gotta a good point.

I have to ask though have you played the game on Professional mode cause it ALMOST gives you that whole feeling of “being attacked by a shitload of monsters with limited ammo” feel. To me this mainly came from the castle area and the prison island areas though.

Yeah, there is one section right around the two El Gigante fight where I always find myself with no ammo but I feel it’d be cool if they just added in a mode where you could only pick it up like the old-school games. They’d need to put more ammo at those places, but I would’ve liked to actually have more options like avoiding them when you run out of ammo or knifing them in desperation in the face or parts which would slow them down. Something that made more gritty and screwed up…

Xero Kaiser - I didn’t particularly reference Zombies, Zombies with the exception of RE1 and REmake and poss Outbreak have never been particularly threatening, I mention in the quote that the no zombies isn’t a problem. But Zombies, while being the poster boys for the classics never really show up too much anyway. 1 has them all replaced by Hunters in the mansion in the second half, 2 had Lickers doing most of the work by midway with only small amounts of zombies showing up after the Police Station. 3 had variable enemies every room, but you were still getting Brain Eaters and Dogs pretty early and evil Hunters. CV is the only zombie-centric game I can think of.

RE loses its scare as soon as you can play it comfortably, but that’s the same with most horror games and worse with others. Silent Hill has almost zero tangible fear, because none of the common enemies do enough damage on Normal and it’s just frustrating on Hard.

btw yes wester has been comfirmed!

wester? It’s WESKER!!one!, son!:lol:

Anyway, one thing I’ve always wondered is that, what ever happened to Sherry Birkin after RE2? Did she die, did she help bring down Umbrella by testifying against them, lived a normal life, what?

[AlphaDragoon]

RE3 kinda sucked IMO. The best part of the whole thing was The Mercenaries…which doesn’t mean much anymore since RE4’s version blows it away. Then again, RE4 blew RE3 away if you ask me. It was the only game besides RE2 that I could play over and over again.

Nope, Sherry apparently lives with Leon (as stated by one of the endings in RE3, I believe). Guess that’s one of the reasons he didn’t take Ashley up on the “overtime” offer, he’s got a “daughter” that’s almost the same age as her.

IIRC, Sherry was taken by “government officals” from Leon right after RE2 ended. Wesker in his reports has stated that he has Sherry in his possession, don’t know what he intends to do with her though.

New RE5 info from IGN.com

July 18, 2007 - Being able to see new footage of Resident Evil 5 was one of our E3 highlights, even though the new trailer didn’t really tell us too much about the game. Enter the latest issue of Famitsu, which is home to an interview in which producer Jun Takeuchi shared some of the details we were looking for.

Takeuchi only provided vague hints about the storyline. As many have guessed from the insignia that appears in the footage, main character Chris Redfield is a member of a group called BSAA. According to Takeuchi, something has happened in the desert area that serves as the game’s setting, and BSAA has dispatched Chris to investigate.

Once on the scene, Chris encounters a new form of enemy. Takeuchi described the game’s enemies as something of human form that has intelligence. However, the foes are neither zombie nor ganado (in reference to the creatures from RE4).

In addition to the new enemy, a certain girl will make an appearance in the game. She’s someone whom fans of the series will recognize. In the full version of the E3 trailer (which will be distributed on Xbox Live and PSN later this month), she appears just briefly, but Takeuchi expects her to have a more significant role in the next trailer (no ETA given on that, unfortunately). In the game proper, she will have a big part both in the story and as part of the gameplay.

On the topic of gameplay systems, Takeuchi admitted to the magazine that the hardest part of development so far has been in mixing new elements with part 4’s basic gameplay. For the most part, RE5 will be played from a perspective similar to that of part 4, with Chris appearing on the left side of the screen. However, Takeuchi also promised a big surprise addition that he believes is an obvious evolution for the gameplay.

According to Takeuchi, if, after seeing the E3 trailer, you feel RE5 looks like RE4 now, you’ll be left with a completely different impression following the next trailer.

Previously, Takeuchi has spoken about the importance of light in the game. In this latest interview, he offered an example of how light will play a role. Say Chris enters a doorless building. The surroundings are bright and the interior is dark, so it takes Chris a few moments to adapt before he can see. The game will replicate this, along with the opposite effect of going into a bright area after being in the dark for an extended period. This is where you can expect to encounter some of the series’ trademark fear, this time from the inability to aim or see.

Takeuchi wouldn’t provide a solid release date for RE5, but there seemed to be some consensus of it appearing some time before 2010. It will be a long wait, but then again so was the wait for RE4, and that one turned out pretty good.

Thanks for the info.
I’m guessing it’s Sherry with G-virus powa!

[1]

I thought Sherry at first as well.

But I may be leaning more towards Claire since there’s mention of gameplay with the character.

But it could also be Jill.

We’ll find out next week! I’m really excited to see the new gameplay style and I’m glad we may be getting back to the main storyline.

[1]

oh yea, I forgot about Ada. I’m hoping they bring a female we haven’t seen in a while back. Ada had her time in RE4.

[4Play]

But I may be leaning more towards Claire since there’s mention of gameplay with the character.

True, yet a Chris/Claire game has been done already. I hope it’s someone that has not been in the spotlight much like Sherry or Jill.

[1]

If Jill is back, I can see the BSAA as the new STARS (but international) and hopefully we’ll see a reunion…with Barry perhaps. Chris and him are old partners y’know…am i rite? :lovin:

I have a feeling that after the new trailer next week, we won’t hear from RE5 for another 2 years when it’s almost ready to release.

[System_1]

Nice info 1.

If Chris is there that means Wesker will be, perhaps the final showdown that they hinted at in CV.

I think RE5 will drop late next year.

[1]

Yea, next year probably around the holidays. I just say 2 years so I’ll be pleasantly surprised when it comes out next year. Unless of course this version gets scrapped. But, I don’t think it’ll happen since Mikami isn’t involved as far as I know.

Capcom releasing new trailers like this means the game is probably is pretty far into development. It would be great if we see a firm release date and gameplay around E3 time next year.

I think my official guess for the female in the new trailer is Sherry like 4play said. According to 1up, the game takes place 10 years after RE1. Which would make Sherry 22 right?

Just found this too which is mostly the same with a new piece of info:

The story takes place roughly 10 years after the Raccoon Incident in the first Resident Evil game. The character which we’ve seen in the trailer is confirmed to be former S.T.A.R.S. member Chris Redfield. He now works for an organization called BSAA and was sent to a location (shown in the trailer) to investigate on a special case. Producer Jun Takeuchi comments, “What has happened to Chris during these 10 years? By showing his past, we can begin to unravel things that were not resolved in Resident Evil 4. In fact, Resident Evil 5 will retain most of its gameplay style [from Resident Evil 4] with some new features which I cannot talk about yet at this point.”

The producer did mention though that the game will have more distinction between light and darkness, “For example, as Chris enters a building, his eyes has to gradually adjust to the dark indoors. The same can be said with the opposite where stepping out from a dark place would cause glare to his eyes.”

He also adds, “The enemies this time are not zombies nor are they Los Ganados either, but are quite smart, human-like creatures. One of the main theme in this game is that Chris is fighting for a cause that is not really clear. Is he fighting for good or evil?”

The E3 trailer will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace this July 27 in Japan so expect to see it on North American around the same time as well.
