[Multiplatform] Resident Evil Homoerotic 'Roid Abuse Edition

I don't get why the topic creator said the main character is David what's his name. Anyone who can read Chinese (yes, the scan is Chinese) can read that its Chris. So please edit the first post, or maybe a mod should do it.

Regarding the image of the girl, the magazine asked who she was, which the producer Jun Takeuchi jokes that he's been having memory problems and cannot recall her name, which they all laugh. He did state that she is an important element in the story of RE5, that she's "probably" been in captivity for a while, and that smart fans will figure out who she is.

Yeah, my money's on Sherry.

Also the producer said he has more faith in a 2010 release date than a 2008. NOT 2009....

Topic creator is also missing several pages of scans:

From the missing scans, its also mentioned that Chris at some point says the cliche line "What am I fighting for?" in the trailer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Googled it, guy from X-files. Never knew his name cause I dont care about X files.

Still it would have helped if he had MENTIONED Chris first before he jabs how he looks, since this is the first scan that really confirms its him, and its the first post. And he's missing 3 pages of links to scans, along with the wrong estimate release date year. Several people here mistake him as the David thats briefly mentioned in RE2.

Not much too ask for more accurate info on the first post is it?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

....You guys trust IMDB over actual interviews and scans from Japan/Asia? Is this legit? O_O

Though Steve has the potential to be alive again, Wesker stated that in Code Veronica Complete in the extra scenes. He took Steve's body as a sample, and mocks at Claire that maybe he can come back to life like he himself did.

But Saddler? God does anyone actually DIE in this series?! Its like a franchise coporate dream, characters in a series that never fracking dies! It's a battle and conflict that goes on and on and on!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thing is, last we saw Saddler, he was like a pile of Goop thanks to the Rocket Launcher.

Steve died, but his body was still intact and his death was mostly viral...With the insane zombie making science him coming back is a possiblity. Ada had the whole "fall into dark abyss hole" plot device, and we never really SEE her die like Rufus in FF7, so she has leeway.

But Saddler? He's a pile of messed up crap, unless they can reconstruct him while he's dead... not easy to just spring back to life RIGHT after his last game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Dammit to hell, the link broke,and I only downloaded 34 megs... The graphics were sweet in HD, but I wanna see some ACTION!

Anyone wanna upload some mirror links?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'll post this again, this is from the Chinese magazine scans interview on previous page

If you watched Wesker's report that came with Code Veronica Complete in Japan, which I also own myself, Wesker stated that Sherry is under THEIR control/captivity/custody. And the girl is not to be underestimated.

That info along with her blonde hair in trailer, gives many a strong impression that Sherry IS the girl in the trailer.

Not official, but clearly from the interview that if not Sherry, it has to be a character we already know, who's under captivity of sorts, and has blonde hair.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Its Resident Evil, with all the remake and ports and characters coming back to life despite DYING, a plot hole like that is nothing.

And how we even know if the vaccine worked? What if it just suppresses? What if parts of the virus lingered in her?

FELIPE NO

I heard from the Horror is Alive site that the 1080p version is just a stretched version of the 720p version.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah I never understood that in RE4. I mean in RE2 she was probably trying to pass off as a resident in the city trying to find her BF and get the hell out of there, but the red dress in RE4? When she was send on a mission to retrieve something in a place full of brain washed people?

I mean aside for sending up the line "Bitch in the red dresss.", it has no real function.

Sheva's design looks cool though, I like the touch of African Native Jewellry on top of the combat look.

(The wallpapers on the official site exposes that her name is Sheva, incase you're wondering where I got it from.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well maybe they could justify that if say, UN or people from Red Cross travelled to North Africa in real life, then they could hypothetically get infected in RE5...

Still, I wouldn't be surprise if this IS a response to the whole "Aiee! Must have diversity with Blacks or its racist!" BS.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Trailer looks bad ass. Love that we're gonna have a car chase sequence with gameplay. And Biker "zombies" too. Interesting that Sheva is on the right side of the screen when you play as her... I also spot the trolls making a come back in this one.

As for online Co Op, awesome that people can Co-Op this on LIVE. Annoying for me though if my and my fiance wanna play together... In the same room... With just one 360.

Still, looks awesome! Maybe when we can afford two 360s and two LIVE accounts... And have enough room for two TVs, I would love to Co Op with my fiance or friends who come over. Untill then, I'd probably ring up some online buddies to play with.

As for the Co-Op video, loved it. The characters assisting each other to reach places one cannot reach, and then supporting the character despite the distance in combat, by using weapons like a sniper rifle. Also like the fact that one character can shoot the door lock so the other can join him or her. Boss fights are defintly gonna be interesting with this new element. One thing I like to know is that whether or not we have friendly fire in this game. In RE4 you can definitly hurt Ashley with everything except shotgun spread shots. (She only dies if you aim the shotgun right at her.)

The video also shows that item pick up does not interrupt the flow of the game like the last one. From what I can tell, changing your gear is also likely all done in real time, meaning I doubt there's a pause button when you hit the menu, if there is one...

Another thing I noticed is that the equipment set up is similar with Umbrella Chronicles. A basic handgun and then you can immediatly switch to a heavier weapon on the fly. This is probably done to get rid or minimise pauses that happen when fiddling around with equipment in the menu screen, which can't really happen in a Co Op action game.

Also the video confirms that Sheva is part of the same new group Chris is in, but she's stationed in the African faction, which likely means that she was trained and born there. Meaning those who are still pulling the racist card need to shut the hell up. And from the trailer, looks like some US army people are also stationed there, maybe they're there for relief purposes, but it shows there are SOME white people located there for legit reasons.

Here's a youtube version with clearer audio from the developer comments:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But cheesy over dramatic voice acting and weird characters is what makes Resident Evil the way it is! It's a tradition!

:P

In all seriousness, that guy in the beginning of that trailer did have a fucking annoying voice.

Interviews on gametrailers revealed that multiplayer Co Op can be done with just a single console, for people who wanna play with their friends in the same house.

Also this interview states that head shots cause the infected to spout weird winged thing, meaning more bullets will be eaten up, hence why most E3 players were not using head shots.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well Chris IS in a group that now specialises in taking care of Bio weapons, I doubt they would be dumb enough NOT to pair him up with a partner in dangerous areas. And would you rather have an AI partner watch your back, or someone you know that can control Sheva properly?

Not to mention you can drop health items if the other person needs it, essentially you now have more inventory space and someone else to grab stuff you may have missed. Resident Evil latly seems to have the characters go into dangerous areas on purpose for missions as oppose to being caught in a situation and trying to escape, so it makes sense to have your team members working together.

And even in RE2, when Claire found Leon again, I didn't see any logical reason for them to seperate aside the fact that the game was designed that way. I think in a real situation when they met up again, they would partner up and make their way out of there. If there's a zombie situation, I would defintly wanna be working with someone then going alone.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Regardless, RE5 is gonna have Co op no matter what. I really don't see any reason why people have to be so upset. It's not like you HAVE to co op with someone.

I mean you could complain about the AI partner, but frankly Ashley never really gave me much trouble except for that one bloody water room, and this AI partner can actually hold a weapon this time. So far I don't see that big of a reason to bitch and moan.

And again, if AI sucks, get a friend to help out. Its not that hard with LIVE and all. And unless that Capcom rep flubbed his line, this game also feature single unit co op so you can invite your friends over to play.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So what you're saying is that the harcore gamer don't have friends or what? I mean jeez Gears of War has co op and no one whinges about that. People play together on LIVE or they do it offline split screen, like my sister and his boyfriend. They co oped on Call of Duty 4 as well. When I told them RE5 is gonna have single unit co op, they plan to get that as well.

And before the "thats a shooter" argument comes in, I feel RE4 is becoming more like a 3rd person shooter with horror elements everytime I replay it. The only difference is you have to watch your ammo count on the first run through. When you accumulate ammo on replay or get the god weapons, well, its pretty much not that scary anymore and you're just shooting through just about everything.

This feels like the paranoia people had when RE4 decided to change the entire format. I replayed RE4 more than any RE game in the series, and I have played all the main series games.

FELIPE NO

The problem with people is that they don't realise that no one can pick up tones in voices through text. Miscommuncation happens on the net all the time even on voice chat due to lag or other glitches, its even harder to communicate with text sometimes and not have miscommuncation.

But whatever. Untill the game comes out, I choose to be optimistic about it, and I look forward to playing Co Op with people I know. I was optimistic about RE4 and it paid off well.

When something stated is ridiculous, and coming from a source that is rarely shown to be ridiculous, it's probably... you know, deliberately ridiculous.

For next time. Just sayin.

English? Not my first language, and people shouldn't assume English is everyone's first language and have the samel level of comprehension skill as everyone. Next time just go (sarcasm) at the end of so EVERYONE in the world who knows basic English can pick up the tone. I took the time to learn a 2nd language, having someone type a bracket with a word in doesn't take that long.

And I dunno Pangalin well, again you are assuming everyone has the same knowledge on how each member acts.

And I still don't understand why people seem to think co oping with friends is lame or something. What is so wrong with playing with your friends? If Ashley can be controlled by a real person instead of an AI that can only follow Leon or stand still, I bet other people having trouble would enjoy having that option. And again, Co Op is optional and not required. It annoys me when people bitch out on something completely optional. The series has gone in a different new direction and its fun to play. If it wasn't for you, just don't play it then. And at least bitch AFTER you played RE5.

How ya doing, buddy?

Alright, but Pang will have to accept the consequence that not everyone on the forum will be able to pick up his tone.

Just sayin.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I think most people recognize the universal symbol of a smiling face. :P

Anyways we should get back on topic.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

New trailers

Gametrailers.com - Resident Evil 5: Reviews, Trailers, and Interviews

Two new trailers.

One of the best trailers I've seen so far. The cutscenes look fantastic and voice acting is decent, the new gameplay footage looks stunning, especially the boss fights. The music which I know is recorded by a full orchestra in the US sounds amazing. Its gonna sound so cinematic when we get to play it, and I am defintly getting the soundtrack. Also liked that Chris referenced Leon's report on Ganados.

Spoiler:

And Wesker is awesome. The boss fight with him is gonna be awesome, and his new VA sounds good too. Though he did seem to have copied some moves from the Matrix, and the wardrobe...

On spoiler notes however, the last shot made my heart stop. Image under spoiler tag.

Spoiler:

BSAA
Jill Valentine
1974-2006

No way would Capcom kill her off... Would they? She's one of my fav characters, and the first character I've played in the series... (RE3 was my first RE game.)

Also this is how split screen should look.



Most amazing jew boots

Here's how to play the 360 RE5 demo that Capcom has region locked from Japan.

Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

- download the five rar parts
- extract them with free program called Winrar
- this will get you one folder named "content"
- burn this folder to a cd, burn it as a data CD with Nero works fine.
- insert cd into 360, it will show up as "mixed media"
- navigate to "my xbox", "demos"
- click & play!

I played it online with friends and it works great. Demo includes Co-Op offline and online, and single player. It has two levels. One is about surviving and holding your ground, the other level involves more co-op and killing Chainsaw dude. Basically what we heard from demo reports.

I also borrowed a review copy of RE: Degeneration. Animation and graphics aren't as good as RE5, but the script was typical RE, so I was happy with it . Enjoyable if you are a RE fan.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I have not tried it using a memory stick, you can give it a shot if you want. Post the results here if you find out anything. I just burned it on a CD and it runs fine.

Yep, that's what happened, I tried downloading it using a friend's JP gametag. It stopped at 98% no matter what I did. So use the method from my older post.

FELIPE NO

Uh, I accessed mine under the game demos section. But maybe different systems reacted differently? Or maybe older dashboard?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I was referring to accessing the demo.... But now I realise you meant the thumb drive. Sorry, my mistake.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
