First Resident Evil 5 gameplay trailer on XBLM
A new full-length trailer for Resident Evil 5 has popped up on Xbox Live Marketplace. The trailer is an extended version of the one Microsoft showed at E3. In the new trailer, Chris Redfield, longtime veteran of the RE series, tells of his struggles policing what appears to be an African village. More importantly, we finally get a glimpse at Resident Evil 5's gameplay. Fans of RE4 can relax, because the series is definitely maintaining the 3rd person, over-the-shoulder perspective. What has changed, though, is the sheer number of enemies that are standing on the business end of Redfield's gun. At points in the trailer, there appear to be literally dozens of enemies. What's more, they appear to be very quick, even more so than the Ganados of RE4. Finally, the trailer closes with a glimpse of a female character, suspended in a liquid filled tank of some sort. Who she is is anyone's guess (Jill Valentine? A grown up Ashley Graham?) -- our Resident Evil lore is a little rusty. Graphically, the game looks amazing, especially the facial models. But enough talk! Watch it already.

I'm just as offended as you Toph!
As a white guy I'm seriously disturbed! I mean why are we always portrayed killing black people? I mean why can't someone else do the job! All the mess...
p.s: White people in media are shown as killing people of every race, so why complain about the black murders Toph. It's not like your upper-middle class family is seriously affected. As an argument against racism, aren't people like you doing more of a disservice to the race issue than Capcom? Remember that black enslavement was largely isolated to the Americas, and people of every race have been enslaved throughout history. I think that if anything hispanics should be complaining more often, because like 99% of the time when someone gets murdered in a video game hes like from the spanish harlem, L.A drug lord, or some dominican baseball player :)

Wow, that trailer is awesome!! The amount of enemies on the screen is great and I think they took a page from Dead Rising on that one.
(off topic)
That has always bugged me when PS3 fanboys spout their BS that the 360 can only have 3-4 people on screen at a time.. I just have to show them Dead Rising and litterly hundreds of enemies on screen at once.. There is even an achievement for killing 10,000 zombies. Go to the tunnel and you will find easily 2000-3000 enemies on screen. This is more than any PS3 game has ever seen.

Toph: I'm black and personally I'm not offended by the trailer/game. The story is set in Africa, and Africa is predominately...you fill in the rest. So what? We can't have video games that set stories in different countries like this? Resident Evil 1-4 (and the 10 "other" versions) were set in many areas. I think it's cool they chose Africa in a video game. If most of the zombies happen to be African, great. Let it be. It's just a game.

I think Toph would still complain if the game was set in Africa and there were NO black people in it.
I bet he was involved the 'Kill All Hiatians!" fiasco.

OH MAN! I am OFFENDED!
Toph! Look! I am a black female and I don't see any problems with RE5! How could you blame Capcom as racisms?!? What did you make your whiney behavior to make my black community look bad? RE5 doesn't have a goal to destory black people because of Chris Redfield is white! It shows the storyline that Chris tries to find someone who causes people have diseases and turns them into monsters. I don't see any racisms! I am more than happy to see my country in that game! I am looking foward to playing it!
