It looks awesome, but I'm not much in to Horror/Survival...

Holy shit that looks AWESOME! The tension, the horror...ridiculous.

I loved RE4 so much and I'm so glad that RE5 is beginning to look even better than it.

And yeah Chris is jacked...

Stay off the juice, Chris!

Game is looking pretty excellent, nice continuation of the game play changes made in RE4 too. There's sometimes like 20+ zombies on-screen, which is pretty cool.

Can't wait for this one, it looks great.

I dont know. This over-the-shoulder view made RE4 feel like the series is devolving into an arcade shooter. It's becoming more and more about flashy colors and loud noises rather than freak-me-out psychological suspense and terror.
Personally I prefer suspense, atmosphere and the drive to stay alive over "whoa! did you see the zombies head explode!"

Oh well.

I hope SH5 doesnt follow suit. And RE5 may prove me wrong when it comes out. Theres still time and my first impression isnt really based on anything except the trailer and RE4.

OFFENDED. Good sweet LORD, i'm offended!

So the hero is Chris Redfield, the ONLY well-muscled, healthy, oh...and WHITE character shown, killing lots of 'infected?' Africans.

Did anyone else but me think that someone in CAPCOM Japan saw some old UNICEF footage and instead of donating money, said, "Wow, those black people sure are creepy looking! Let's make a white guy shoot them all en masse!"

I REALLY hope that this isn't falling on deaf ears..

What ever happened to ZOMBIES????

Sorry Richard, Dustin and Kunckles, but no matter how 'fun' the gameplay might be, this whole minorites-portrayal is really offensive to me, and I SERIOUSLY HOPE it doesn't come away unscathed. What's next? Resident Evil 6: where you visit Auschwitz?

Sorry if i've gone too far..but CAPCOM seriously pizzed me off.

that was gamplay and not in engine but still cinematic right because if that was gamplay that was just awsome

@ Toph
i don't think they meant to be offensive. the story takes place in Africa. the land of where life began so to speak.

in this motherland to the homo sapian something has gone terribly wrong. Chris (who we never heard anything of for so long) is led here.

in case you hadn't noticed Africa is mostly populated by black Africans. Auschwitz is in the past man. as much as you find this offensive, to many it isn't.

people just get so uptight about things that relatively do not matter and they weave scenarios that don't exist.

i'm Hispanic yet i didn't find killing Spainards offensive in RE 4. there was something demonic in them, i had to survive. so i killed them. a possessed being is a possessed being regardless of skin color, race or creed! =D

Toph I watched that video and race never crossed my mind. From a 2 minute movie you are screaming about being offended? I would have been if it had started off saying "KKK member Chris Redfield is in Africa to kill some black people"

Were you offended when GRAW 2 took place just across the Mexican border? Were you offended when Marcus chainsaws some locust?

I am going to say when the majority of people see this game, race will never cross their mind until someone like you screams "RACISM".

Its like that episode of South Park with the towns flag of the hanging. Chef is yelling racism, while the whole time the kids just saw people instead of color.

So when did they get Charlie Sheen to voice Chris Redfield?

Toph, what comes to your mind when a white person kills a black person? Racism, I'd think you'd say. But what do you think when a black person kills a white person? That's just how it goes. We have a double standard when it comes to racism. And also, how many 'white' people do you think inhabit Africa? Not very many would be the correct answer I believe, so why would the turning/zombies be white like they were in RE, where the outbreak was in an American city?

Well I am offended! As an Asian man, I am constantly portrayed as a stereotype! I do not have pointy hair, feminine features, elaborate clothing or carry a sword with me everywhere I go!

My Italian friend, Guido, is also deeply offended by The Darkness, which portrays all Italians as ruthless gangsters bent on destroying an innocent man who simply likes to eat human hearts! Oh the humanity!

RE4 did a similar injustice. That evil Leon killed all those innocent, possessed villagers that dared come at him with knives and pitchforks! Won't someone please think of the Spaniards!

I feel your pain Toph!

That trailer was ridiculously well done, perfect until Chris Redfield is like "I have a job to do... and I am going to see it through." Oh Capcom and their habitually shitty voice acting. Hire a new writer and actor.

Reply

@pat, it wasn't that bad dude, i've heard much much worse. A line like that had potential to have been butchered far worse by a REALLY bad actor, so i blame it on the writing more so than the acting.

I would love to play this game with the Wiimote... It sucks having to go back to aiming with the stick.

The fact that they were all black struck me when I first saw this trailer, but in a way that didn't make me want to cry "RACISM!"

Instead I'm intrigued. Could this be signs that Capcom is going to throw some geopolitical allegory/commentary into the mix? It would certainly be cool, a nice way to mature the series in a way that doesn't involve more violence and/or a sex minigame.

Still can't wait for ignorant academics to start slithering from their underground lairs and claim this is all white-supremacist propaganda. It's going to happen, you know it. So let's hope Capcom circumvents it by making some fun political commentary. I'm getting excited. :)

Me too! I'm just as offended!

As a male caucasian how dare they portray us as muscle bound, handsome men who all know how to wield weapons! This is ubsurd!
