Why is Wesker wearing a Matrix costume?

Jesu

@Saint Anima: Eh, confirmation? I meant CONFRONTATION. Meh. Excuse me.

Saint Anima

Yay! Wesker is confirmed...so now we can all expect another Wesker and Chris confirmation! But now since Chris has been on the roids...he has a fighting chance!

Saint Anima

@tbombrocks: Joseph, Kenneth, Forrest, Enrico, umm...I think a few others!

Saint Anima

@Tyrannical: Nah. Pretty sure since he's all super powerful now that he survived Code Veronica. Hell, if he didn't die from getting impaled by a Tyrant, don't think much can hurt him...

Saint Anima

Gionne has MASSIVE boobs. Incredible.
Also nice to see Wesker back - I hope he plays a more active role than in RE4.

Nelo-Risi

Damn I was hoping it would be the merchant. I love that guy.

Welcome!.....stranger

Monkey Majiks

I like her lady pads

dannybuoy

Wesker's future is so bright he needs shades.

osteofight

@tbombrocks: I guess this is kind of like Heroes, where you think someone dies, but really doesn't. =P

def PD

... WESKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!! This time I swear you won't escape the grave!!

If there is anything I hate more than zombies and vampires is Albert Wesker!

thelastslice

meh, I'm not surprised. It's getting to the point where I'm really beginning not to care. What hype the story if no one is going to die unless they're a supporting character that no one care about anyway? Code Veronica and RE4 milked that concept with the Leonardo DiCaprio knock off and the doctor that reminded me of Antonio Banderas.

*yawn* Let me know if it's worth the price of admission. I may sit this one out.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

Wesker is now in the Matrix. That's why there's Monica Booblu... uh, Belluci as well.

Poison

He's a zombie, duh.

penty85

@Tyrannical: but he was in RE4. That's who Ada was talking to while trying to complete her mission

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

This is Resident Evil, Does anyone really die?

tbombrocks

Damn I was hoping it would be the merchant. I love that guy.

DaftDethMonkey

H mm, I'm already pumped for the game. That just got me Evan more interested (as if that's passable).

tbombrocks

Wesker died in code veronica, or did I miss something?

Tyrannical

Wesker. Nails.

Sam Smith

I'm glad wesker still looks badass.

Jindujun

Damn you Wesker!

LionheartAce

when i saw the trailer with that lady in it earlier this year, i thought she looked a lot like Eva Mendes, which isn't a bad thing.

she's got a nice rack too.

ChibiKyKiske

Wesker! I'll be glad to fight him again!

YotaruVegeta

Holy shit, Wesker never looked more intimidating.

Phantasos

Can't wait, I just need to know if RE5 is being developed on 360 or PS3 and which is it being ported to because I have both and need to know which one is the better one.

Assassin_Kensei

Where would RE be without Wesker? He's like Liquid Snake. He just can't die. (Although I know that Liquid really did "die")

Anarchist_Gamer

@Jesu: 'Cause he's jacked in. Durr.

Brian Ashcraft

This game can't come soon enough. GOTY 2009.

Shinamano

@Jesu: because he is the one. and seriously, he was only cool in RE4 for his falcon punch, other than that, I wish he'll die in this one, the remake of Kenny from south park doesn't really cut it.

Phibius

Excella Gionne looks like Monica Bellucci from the Matrix.

Kadugen

Hot!

Oh, and that Excella girl is also ok.

Shiryu

Wesker was alive in RE4 when he was giving Ada here missions(PS2 extended version)

shadowskill11

Wesker goes through life wishing he was Duke Nukem. That's why he goes around creating mutant monsters and surrounds himself with gorgeous women.

The Black Pigeon

Wesker in a Resident Evil game?!?!

What a shocker!

OMFG! Zombies too?!?!

NoFunShogun

ah, female characters with big arguments. the japanese never let me down.

mrt181

Good work on the choice of dress from Excella, and also good work on her name.

If they bring back Steve from RE-C:V, then it'll be perfect.

carrliadiere

@SaanZ:

Vin Diesel IS Richard B. Riddick IS Albert Wesker in The Chronicles of Wesker: Killer Prague.

The Black Pigeon

Wesker?! Wait a minute... I thought you were teh stabbed by the Tyrant? Oh no wait your body was re-animated since you did enject yourself with the virus.

Well atleast the games do a better job than the movies, where Wesker is currently sorting out paper work and talking in chat rooms to his fellow employees. But his superhuman power enables him to do twice the paper work! =O

Katajero

Why does Wesker look like the Punisher?

OcelotSnake89

Does anyone think wesker needs to be bald? I think he needs to be bald... I keep seeing him and Im sure when he does die itll be a wig... or he'll be bald...

The new character is fine with hair though

SaanZ

@Assassin_Kensei: To my knowledge, it was originally announced for both systems from the beginning, so I'm not really sure which one it is intended for.

Thinker302

@DaftDethMonkey: Was I the only one hoping he was the sinister mastermind behind the entire Plagas epidemic?

OW-Holmes

Wesker is by far my favorite character of the series. I hope he gets to bitch slap Chris again.

Silent Predator

oh shit, chris is going to get his ass handed to him again

shinko

hhhh T-Ts!

ethermay

@OW-Holmes:

Not me, the whole thing seemed to far fetched even for a regular Resident Evil plot.

Phantasos

Wesker looks good in the game...I just don't really careful for the whole "Plagas" deal. Give us back the slow moving, brooding zombies. When we want fast, we'll go find a hunter to piss off.

thistimeXitswar

@Jindujun:

hahaha i was about to come here and say the same lol. With all the virus's he has mixed to create an ultimate im sure he will be mega badass in this!

origamikid

oh, it's not AAAAANDERSOOOOONNN!

kakihara

No, he escaped. He also appears in RE4... so he's not dead.
Thanks god

MlstrmMephisto

Why do you guys seem disillusioned at Capcom not killing off their best characters?

Killing Wesker off would be like killing off Eggman or Bowser?

get2sammyb

-_- After Playing Umbrella Chronicles (Every RE Fan should... no matter how much they hate the Wii or Light Gun Games), you can't help but wait for RE5 to expand on the RE lore... If there is a canon.

Rika Aiuchi is SeXXXy

@DaftDethMonkey: Whatcha Buyin?

=/ Hopefully they'll have a RE5 counterpart for him. I loved buyin things from him until I accidentally Inifinite Rocket Launcheredd him on my 2nd playthrough.

Rika Aiuchi is SeXXXy

Why does Wesker look like a goth/matrix reject

loempiavreter

@Tyrannical: Wesker is to Resident Evil as Vamp is to Metal Gear.

mentok1982

Awesome, I hope Wesker has a larger role this time.

EvilSuperSean

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: I always thought Steve was supposed to be Edward Furlong from Terminator 2.

Zombie_Crunch

Still such a long wait for this game... Can't hold out much longer...

boots555

Wesker=BAMF

_Ted_

God I want to be him, he never dies, and when you think he did die he just comes back more bad ass and armed to the teeth.

TheGavel

Wesker looks like T-1000 in that picture.

UCB-Disco

Wesker never dies...he's the ever living Evil that Resides in all the games.

element7

If Wesker offers you a choice, take the BLUE pill!

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

@mentok1982: Except with less knife-licking.

Thank god.

kimsama

Val Kilmer IS Albert Wesker.

MeanMillz

@Saint Anima: I had to re-read that, but it gave me a good laugh. Thanks. :-P

edb87

Is it just me or does it look like Capcom is trying to bring back the "Mr. X" look from Resident Evil 2?

In case none of you remember: Mr. X was the name given to the T-103 Tyrant while it was walking around in its big overcoat and wore giant boots and gauntlets that it would smash you with. Ya know, before it went all mutated and mean.

Aurvant

I prefer a more slut *ahem* skimpier dress...

adragonfang18

Only ONE new character? More like 'TWO' new characters AMIRITE???

robotomasher

@mentok1982:
But can he run on water and straight up a 5+ story metal support column?

Blah8

This scan proves Wesker is officially sexier than cleavage.

Ryodestined

Damn I love Wesker, a new character? kind of cool, but I really want to know whats up with wesker. He is so mysterious.

HELLSRIDER

Win.

LegendK1ll3r

yes! MOAR BEWBIES!

pnoy.otaku

wouldn't be complete with out him...now if the next game would actually star him I'd be a happy camper.

Megalomatthew

@Tyrannical: In Code Veronica X they helped that particular plot element by adding a scene where Wesker and Chris are fighting. Wesker escapes on a submarine.

GenMan

@Assassin_Kensei: I thought they were using Capcom's new MT Framework engine that that allows for simultaneous development on all systems.

[kotaku.com]

Arttemis

@Rika Aiuchi is SeXXXy:

"not enough cash stranger"

Null-Python

That Excella looks delectable...

Agent-Foiliage

Am I the only one that thinks Wesker looks like Val Kilmer in that pic?

sandal-hat17

Whoa. Wesker.

Definitely did not see that coming.

fecalchaos

Wesker's trenchcoat looks badass....seriously, love thew fact that he gets vrtually no screen time so I could project a "badass" personality on him and create really bad fiction and post it on internet forums.

Also, the chick has big breats, at least she looks classy, unlike what those pervs over aty Namco did to the females in SCIV.

masterbanana

wesker is the biggest badass in all of gaming.

also, bewbs.

FlapDangerous

Not an expert but is that how branch managers usually dress in Africa? Is she en route to the office christmas party or something? This makes no sen...oh what's that, it's a Resident Evil game? Oh well, in that case, never mind.

lucifer_goosifer

Damn.. Albert Wesker is like a fucking cockroach. A cockroach with an attitude.

--Core--

Not surprised with Wesker but its always goood with a confirmation.

I don't really like the new character but I wont judge her without playing the game first.

zigurat

games cant exactly be ported between xbox and ps3, as the ps3 needs so much more programming done to it this is what makes me so mad about fanboys, each system has games programed for themselves theres no "actual" ports,, excluding valve games. on ps3 all valve games are ports

SanchaliWalsall

@DaftDethMonkey: WHAT'RE YOU SELLIN?

SmF3

@Tyrannical:

I think you missed the bit where Wesker is far too awesome for something like death to put a kink in his day.

sanzen

Wow Wesker now looks like the evil spawn of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Bravo. He's completely badass.

MegamanPhantom

@dannybuoy: Sadly, you just know she'll infect herself and you end up having to shoot them off.

HolyheathenEd

@tbombrocks: Don't forget

Nicholai, Mikael, Ralph (ate to death by dogs), Vicks "ChickenHeart", the guy that was with Claire on code veronica, and there are a few others, but those are from a sidestorie (Resident Evil: Caliban Cove. Starring Rebeca Chambers and G-Virus with Zombies who can use guns and recieve commands.)

Clave

Wow, and Just when I thought Wesker couldn't look any more evil and intimidating, this man looks like he'll kill you in a heartbeat for calling him a Matrix Cosplayer.
