Is it just me or is there not a single negative comment on this post?
Good job guys. Finally everyone agrees on the awesomeness of game.

@robinandtami: ...sigh

I was wondering how long we could keep this discussion controversy-free. Not very long, apparently.

Cogito

Even though the graphics would be worse on the wii I do prefer the Wii's controls for RE4 compared to a dual analog controller.

incazteca

Looks like they really took that whole racism thing to heart. There are almost no black people left in this game that is supposed to take place in Africa. Shame really. Maybe the next game can take place in China and all the character models can be Italian.

robinandtami

This game looks nuts. I hope it is at least as good as RE 4.

Cho413

I never quite got the dirt bikes but now I can see it's going to be a mad max machine gun off. Must have missed the trailer that showed that part. Well I'm always down for a run through any Resident Evil game, and this looks no different. Really liked the lighting in the two quick night time scenes.

Pornosaur

I'm forward to this game more than any other.

TheGuilty1

Ohhhh I want. I WANT.

And I'm psyched about the co-op. I hope it ties in the last few games. (heard it involves the virus from Code Veronica)

And seems they've really done well with the camera, so I'm content. Plus, Chris Redfield looks better than ever.

Mesren_Makai

GIVE ME THIS GAME RIGHT NOW

*checks underwear frontal bulge*

Yup. I'm excited. :)

@Thassodar: They're waiting on Friday the 13th, obviously. ;)

Dragoonkin

Eric Cartman: I can't wait for nintendo wii (resident evil) to come out. Come on come on come on.

zkotaku

That looked amazing....freaking amazing.

This game is going to kick all sorts of ass - I can't friggan wait.

Canadiankid

CAN'T WAIT TO FIGHT THAT ZOMBIE BIKE CONVOY!

CHU BOI

Do they REALLY need until March of next year to put the game out? It looks like they've got the whole game pretty much done!

Although this could be a rare case of bumping up the release date by 4 months...

PSHAW!

Thassodar

This looks nuts. All the classic Resident Evil elements seem to be coming along nicely--mysterious guy in cloak, mysterious woman in dress, androgynous laughing guy...

I couldn't be more excited.

fecalchaos

I don't know what all the grousing lately is about, this looks like pure win. 4 is easily one of my favorite, and arguably one of the best, games ever, and I can't wait to revisit the engine.

everygoodusernameistaken

i don't know if it's just the new edit, but now I'm really excited.

Grumpz®

I really miss the old camera style

Murderdolls

Mmmmm... This is looking better and better.

Herabec

Every time I see more footage of this game, I keep getting more and more excited. It's quite possible that before either of them are released, RE will have supplant Fallout as my most anticipated release.

And it isn't often I even get psyched up for game releases anymore (what with that whole, you know, money thing)

Cogito

released in North America on Friday, March 13th, 2009

VERY...VERY NICE!

Amazon_Chris

Friday the 13th couldn't come sooner.

Handbanana37

This is the Leipzig trailer. All they did was cut together the older trailers and add a .5 second clip of the mysterious blond.

@robinandtami: You know, I honestly couldn't give less of a shit what color the zombies skin is. In the end, it doesn't matter one bit. If they were green the game would still be awesome because of a gripping storyline, immersing environment, and tight controls so stop bitching about something that doesn't make one goddamn bit of difference.

sandal-hat17

I'm using my computer mouse to club down my boner.

warrenlee

Well, before this trailer, I wasn't sure whether or not the zombies were ganados.
Now I'm positive they are.
But what's the African term for Cows?

Ad-hominem

abso. SICK - the pure bad-assness of this game is effortlessly drowning out the bleeding heart "this is racist" lot - keep bitching bitches, keep bitching...

F22

at about 1:36 there's a flag on the boat... its either british or confederate. ill go with he first one...

canceric09

I miss the Zombies.

But overall it looks super kick ass.

And if they wanted it on Friday the 13th they could released it Feb 13th 2009. Its a Friday as well. Also the day F13 remake is released.

DravenX23

@canceric09: Someone misses the old camera style in a post up above. Don't no if that's negative kind of a grey area. I for one don't miss it that much.

Pornosaur

It's a bit strange to see zombies riding bikes, aren't they supposed to be brainless?

Playstation

Suddenly there is a surprising amount of games I just can't wait to play. RE5 is very high up on that list.

William Killer Shatner

@Playstation: Was wondering the same. And could a zombie fly a helicopter?

hagridore

I don't know what it is, but this trailer looks really nice, and seems like it should shutup everyone complaining that it looks like RE4 with more polygons. Perhaps it looked so similar because of the one environment they were showing off, but the newer environments shown in this trailer look much nicer, and seem to further differentiate the game from RE4.

Mit

The on the rails gunning section looked pretty cool.

DigiMish

Unkle Rukus: Dat's right! Kill dem Nigguas!

davidWW

i cant wait for them to stop using bug themed monster!

Nine_breaker

Agreed with everybody here. This game looks amazing. It has RE4 style controls and camera, sweet eccentric villains, huge monsters, Sherri Berkin (presumably) in human form and - just an opinion - also in her mutated G-Virus (or worse) state in the back of that truck. I mean, even though it was in shadows, it still looked like Dr. Berkin's tyrant-variant.

And...isn't that a giant leech monster? Like RE0?

Anarchist_Gamer

@F22: Which is worse: the bitches who bitch or the bitches who bitch about bitches bitching?
The only thing that's upsetting me about this game is that they're waiting for a Friday the !3th to release it. You just know that it could be out much sooner than that.

PhantomVI

@FreakyFavabean:
I mean, didn't one of the viruses mutate stuff? Maybe they used that one the Plagas and created super mutant plagas zombies or something.

FreakyFavabean

Its gotta be Zombie Plagas. That's the only possible explanation.

FreakyFavabean

@DarthVegan:

I doubt the blond is Ashley, it doesn't really look like her and the president's daughter wouldn't be in Africa by herself..it's more likely that, if it were a returning character, it would be Sherry, the girl from RE2.

Or it could be someone new!

Arelan

This looks like it could have GOTY written all over it. I would love that not just because its a great game, but because it will spite and possibly embarrass all the people who started unnecessary controversy over it.

RonJeremy4Pres

I may have too much RE4 on the brain but...

*Does anyone else think that blond is Ashley from RE4?

*And was that Ada at the 1:30 mark (with the syringe)?

DarthVegan

@incazteca: No you don't.

kojirodensetsu

Holy HELL I wasn't paying attention to this game's release date... I thought it was closer to finished than 7 months away...

Does look great though, I will have to get.

vid3oman64

Solely for irony's sake, I hope the blonde is Ashley. And she dies.

"Heeelllppp! Chriii-"*plagas explodes out of her*

@Murderdolls: You liked pre-rendered environments and not being able to see what you were shooting at? Really?

@Black_Ops_19: Unless there's a medical professional in the area, Please don't volunteer that much info ever again.

Jonn

Is the movie playing really choppy for anyone else. I can't seem to get it to play straight.

Mikey G

@akumaserge:

I really wonder if they're going to bring him back...or it would be cool if they had a female counterpart who spoke and dressed the exact same way lol

Sandbox_Emperor

@akumaserge:
You forgot my favorite:
STRANGER, STRANGER! NOW THAT'S A WEAPON!

everygoodusernameistaken

Wow. I seriously thought that the dude with the hood and the mask was gonna be the merchant from RE4.

HELLO STRANGER!
WHATYABUYIN?!
WHATYASELLIN?!
AH! I'LL BUY THAT AT A HIGH PRICE!
STRANGER...

akumaserge

I am so sick of everything being turned into an action game. While I enjoyed RE4 (except for the TEDIUM of the castle), it just never really felt like RE to me. I miss the creeping dread and atmospheric horror. I miss burned-out industrial/lab areas and dark basements. I miss the "what the hell happened here" imagery rendered into the pre-rendered scenes of RE2 that left something to the imagination. And yes, I actually miss the crappy controls and fixed camera over pre-rendered backgrounds. Don't ask why, because I'm not sure. Perhaps I'm simply a masochist. Yes, I know, "the series is evolving." Evolving, indeed...into an action franchise. What I personally would like to see is something more along the lines of the REmake for GameCube. That just may be my favorite RE game of them all. Regardless, I'm still looking forward to RE5. Just wish it were a "throwback," as it were.

SirCletus

@Playstation: Ever hear the saying "It's like riding a bike, you never forget."?

JimmyPageJun1or

Is that a young Mark Hamill when the trailer starts?

Orionsaint

I crapped myself. YAY!

MrWhitmore

@SirCletus:

I completely agree. I loved RE4 as a game, but not as a resident evil. I was hoping to see the original Biohazard 4 come around, but eh. Maybe we can still get a spin off series that has the original feel and gameplay.

And yes, to complete the looking forward to it trend, I can't wait to play RE5.

GhostOfStarmen

very nice, looks truly next gen

anyway, i just thought about this, but i wont be surprised if at the end of the game, since its two players,
maybe one might get infected by the virus and you'll both have to fight each other to stay alive

that would be interesting

Mr.Sad

@SirCletus:

If anything, they could go along the lines of Megaman 9 and make an RE game similar to the classic games in every way. Satisfy the fans of the old style and attract gamers to the series' roots.

NeonLight

Still waiting to see zombies....

Wolfgeist

@SirCletus: You summed up my feelings as well.

ImmortalArbiter

@Orionsaint:

He reminds me of Leonardo Dicapprio, actually.

everygoodusernameistaken

I think we're seeing too much of this game, considering how far away it still actually is. Looks good, though.

DARTH_TIGRIS

@Mikey G:
same, let the video "sit" for 10 minutes or so and it should be alright.

roflwaffles

Zombies on motorcycles is easily one of my worst nightmares.

Schmatz

That trailer had fucking great music. I hope tracks like that are playing in-game. It would make it much more thrilling.

Grinman

I think the game needs polish-

The dang thing look identical to RE-4-

I hate the way the bullets wont hit when zombies die,you waste alot of amo as they kneel down,and hit the floor.

The animations when the character pick up items,use F sprays are all kinda of silly,and the HUD is sorta ugly.

Well,I they would remake a resident evil 4 and add like 3 more new locations I would buy it,so you know I will buy this one.

Ikaru

I look forward to kicking the ass out of that game

ceetronic

Maybe they shouldn't have released that gameplay footage a while back.

It's like the difference between watching the trailer for Matrix Reloaded and actually watching Matrix Reloaded.

boopadoo

I kind of want zombies back.

SIGH.

bysty

+1 excited anticipation for this game

RE is a solid franchise, I do miss the RE1 days however RE4 was worth the change in gameplay IMO

EmeraldCockroach

Those graphics are looking tiiiight! :D

Nik Gupta

And I'm gaga over the game. Doesn't sound like it with my above post but I'm

just dissapointed Kotaku advertised it as a new trailer that showcases Barry, Jill, and even the return of all the dead S.T.A.R.S members when it's not.

Chicopollo

..............new? More like barely extended.

Although I am quite curious as to the identity of the blonde girl. I'm saying it's Sherry.

Chicopollo

Man, Chris's arms look weird.

londonlad

New??

jocaju

man, when will poeple finally undertsand these are NOT zombies... more like mutated ganado. my bet is on G-virus infected plagas.
But, hey am I the only one who thought he saw azombie somewhere in that video? (near the end, inside the truck?)
maybe we'll have a Zombie/gnado showdown? my bet would be on the plagas/ganado

laencythe

@SirCletus: Yes! Even with the "action-y" elements of 2, I still felt that the prevailing tone of the game was horror. You were running against a clock, running through rooms the camera would only let you see frightening glimpses of (remember being able to hear the zombies and not see them?), and running out of bullets.

The "improvements" to the series are nice and all, but they have eliminated the feeling of dread that made RE2 one of my favorites. (That said, I do love RE4, but agree 100% that it's more of an action game).

kimsama

Ah, who am I kidding. I can't play this game, I'm far too scared.

L_K_M

The usual mystery wrapped up in hordes of people as we have come to expect from Capcom.

Sah-wee-tah

SylvyLombax

@SirCletus:
Honeslty, the controls in the first one didn't bother me as much as the inventory did. Being able to only carry a few items often forced me to choose between dropping my gun, ammo, a healing item, or a key or something that I couldn't get any further with.

FreakyFavabean

Hopefully this game will be as good as RE4, though I would like more suspense in the game, there where a decent number of scary moments in 4 such as the regeneraters, I decided to make this fanart in anticipaton of the game,

[allaboutlee.deviantart.com]

Sheva will be the character I'll be playing most of the time :)

omgitslee

@FreakyFavabean:
For I believe, resident evil were a genre called survival horror- I feel not any horror at all or difficulty on surviving if I can carry as much big weapons as I can.

@omgitslee:
again, minimize your expectations, since survival horror games have taken the path of the fighting games, putting the skill in the input, and the continuous feeling of chill aside, in favor of a more relaxed but surprising (BOOO! DID I SCARE YOU? EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT I'm NOT A DANGEROUS BEING? thats the difference between the original scary feeling and the new, in the original you feared even a single zombie, because you were not a young version of chuck norris unbeatable , you were a human, bla bla bla)

in short, this is not a survival horror game anymore, it became a sorpresive action game

DLNO-001

this looks fking sweet.

maraxusofk

This game is going to rock. It'll play like Resident Evil 4, there is no way it can fuck up.

Ryodestined

This better have mouse support when it comes to PC (you know it's inevitable).

VengefulRonin

Resident Evil 5 is the game that I'm probably most excited about.

NYKnicker

Never was one for horror games but those graphics are too good for me to be narrow-minded. BTW, did anyone else see that gigantic foot stepping on the protagonist? I smell a previously unknown plot element...

Real Serious Assassin

This game is looking alot more fun than 4 did, can't wait for release next year
