That’s what I thought. Definitely doesn’t look like Claire.
Does anyone know if Hustle Man/Merchant will be returning? It’s hard for me to not imagine him in RE now 
The game takes place in Haiti.
I think it’s been said it’s in Africa now.
Is there an update on the Japanese RE movie yet?
that female sorta looks like Jill.
can’t wait till this game comes out.
ROFL…It’d be criminal not to put him in the game. That guy was everywhere peddling his wares. I wonder if he managed to get off the island before it blew up?
^ hustle man is awesome and yes he did get off the island before it blew up…
strangah…STRRRANGAHH !
Not enough cash…stranger.
NO innough cassh…STRRANNGAH !
haha I wanna play re4 now
Not to hate on chris, but I think leon and Jill are to best RE characters personally. RE3 jill and Leon in 2 and 4 were great characters. Claire seems so bland and so does chris.
Maybe the little white girl is sherry?:rock:
I always thought Chris was pretty badass but i mainly just enjoyed his feud with Wesker. Capcom seriously needs to have a boss battle with Chris fighting Wesker in RE5.
New Resident Evil 5 Info Comes to Light
An old hero, new enemies, and lots more from Famitsu.
If you’ve been wondering why there’s been so little info released for Resident Evil 5, wonder no longer. In the latest issue of Famitsu, producer Jun Takeuchi introduces a seven-page article packed with new information from a brand-new trailer Capcom will be unveiling soon. In addition to some beautiful new screenshots, the article offers up some incredible-looking concept art and a lot of facts.
Chris Redfield
The last we heard from this series protagonist was in the battle with the Umbrella Corporation 10 years ago. At present he belongs to an extralegal organization; the key to their identity seems to lie in the badge on his shoulder that reads “BSAA.” As you might expect (and as the new shots confirm) Chris will be packing quite an arsenal. In addition to his mainstay, the handgun, he is also shown wielding a survival knife and a sniper rifle. Famitsu also points out that Chris carries much of his arsenal on his back – for example, he has what appears to be a large gun strapped behind his right shoulder – and suggests the design might be hinting at a new on-the-fly, single-button weapon switching system in RE5.
The Story and Setting
The article states that the game is centered around an “escape from a predicament.” The contrast between light and dark is a key visual element (as has been discussed previously); the screenshots and artwork both show this off to fantastic effect. Several shots of helicopters steal the show. One narrowly avoids a midair inferno in the sky, while another lies in a flaming wreckage on the ground. Other scenes show brightly-lit streets, a seemingly deserted village, a long metal bridge over a river, and what looks like some kind of cave or mine. Chris carries a light source in the latter.
The Enemy
Famitsu also provides a little more info about the menace Chris is facing in Africa. This time around the baddies are neither zombies nor Ganados – and for those who have been concerned, the enemies shown do appear to represent multiple races now. One enemy is pictured toting a bloody chainsaw. The article mentions that during Famitsu’s hands-on with the game for the special DVD they released in April, they recalled seeing a scene where enemies gurgle and turn to foam when they die. The real story behind these foes has yet to be told and will probably remain mostly a mystery until the game’s release.
New Characters
The trailer shows two women. One is blond, in a long, red dress, and hard to make out in the images; it seems she and Chris will need to escape together, but the article implies a different approach from the Ashley-escorting sections of Resident Evil 4. The other woman is a dark-skinned beauty who is new to the series. She carries nearly as much weaponry as Chris and looks to be another ally.
In one shot we also see an man through the rusted bars of some kind of cell, hunched over with his arm extended limply; he bears a similarity to the Nosferatu in Resident Evil Code: Veronica, or Lisa Trevor from the original game. In other words, whoever he is, he is most certainly going to be powerful, and is probably a big part of the game’s story.
Stay tuned to 1UP and GameVideos to catch the latest Resident Evil 5 trailer as soon as it’s available.
I think Sherry was in the first trailer. She’s the blond at the very end of it.
Agreed.Plus his laser dodging scene was much cooler

And I hadn’t thought about Sherry before you mentioned it,but that would make a lot of sense
New trailer coming up at the end of May IIRC for this game.Can’t fucking wait
New AWESOME details from Game Radar.
What you need to know:
- Direct feed screenshots from the recect Famitsu scans
- Drop in/out Co-op Online gameplay (story mode)
- Mercenaries mini-game is back.
Sorry, I’m dumb and somehow had the wrong link there :-(. Fixed.
GODDAMMIT! I can’t view video at work anymore. What am I missing besides these details here? Drop in/out co-op? Fucking sweet! I wonder if this version of Mercenaries is RE3 or RE4 version?
my money is on RE4 version. makes more sense to me for them to do it that way…
:wtf: Is Magneto being sodimized by a Sentinel?
no.
he’s being “son’d” by a Mango Sentinal.
