New RE5 Info.

I found this over at the Tomb Raider forums, Discuss whatcha think.

So apparently EGM magazine will have a big Resident Evil 5 feature in their next issue and some fan has managed to get a hold of it and leak it out onto a night where it has begun appearing on certain forums. Thing is, we know that this isn't just fan ravings as we'll explain at the end. But first, here's what we can tell you about the information that allegedly will appear across the five page feature.

- The story will who Chris Redfield really is, what he has been doing for the past ten years and the nature of his relationships with the other characters.
- Chris Redfield helped establish the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) after the Raccoon City incident in 1998.
- Much of the story will be told as flashbacks.
- The BSAA has branches all over the world, but the executive decisions – like sending Chris to Africa – are made from the USA.
- Sheva Alomar is part of the West African branch of the BSAA
- Weapons are supplied to Chris and Sheva by Kralin, an ex-BSAA member who is attempting to flee the city with the BirdWoman.
- The guy with the megaphone in the trailer is the richest man in the village and so be default their leader. He is funding the construction seen.
- Wesker will appear about 5% into the game.
- Sherry Birkin will appear in substantially more of the game.
- The following characters will not appear in the game: Jill, Barry, Claire, Billy and Leon.
- Chris and Sheva will face many relationship difficulties.
- The game will take 15 hours to finish and will have 8 hours of cut-scenes… hopefully in addition to the 15 hours.

Capcom want Resident Evil 5 to be the best looking game of 2009 (we can tell you now it won't be)
- There is a big emphasis on puzzles, many of which a co-op based.
- Co-op drop in and drop-out is confirmed.
- There will be one hour of solo Chris gameplay before you meet Sheva (bags being Chris!)
- No mirages and heat/cold features in the game.
- Flashbacks are not playable (hence 8 hours of cut-scenes, we guess)
- There are 30 weapons in the game, 20 for Chris and 10 for Sheva (seriously, bags being Chris)
- You can use the chainsaw, once you have acquired it from the final fight with Moreso.

That stuff sounds really cool, but I am a bit dissapointed that there aren't any of the other characters in it, also, no merchant either, and taking out the heat/cold features isn't cool...

At least we know that Sherry was the girl seen in the trailer ages ago.

8 hours of cutscenes is a bit weird for an RE game, but I'm cool with it.

(No disrespect to MGS, I'm a big fan)

And you can use a bloody chainsaw? What is this, Gear of War?

(uh...yea)

That's good and bad imo, this is really not a true Resident Evil game anymore :

They're really done a lot of things that have annoyed me :(

Although having said that, I'll probably still get it.

Oh and if Steve is in it, I will burn the disc.

Like i some if it is apparently false, Don't know how much of it is true, but, some of it seems credible. I think the chainsaw thing isnt credible, 8 Hours despite capcom has some really good writers for resident evil i don't think they couldnt come up with 8 hoursAnimal-Mother

To be fair, I don't see why you're forced into using only a knife as a melee weapon. Don't get me wrong, it's super effective for blinding ennemies (kicking them when they're confused never gets old) but you're still useless against larger/stronger foes.

I doubt the chainsaw replaces the knife, that would be cool though. RE4 was amazing, RE5 will destroy.

Hmmmm.....so Rebecca might be in this one? It would make sense, she did help Chris in the first RE.dragonpuppy

Well if the 8hr cutscenes assumption turns out being true, I sincerely hope the story is alot better than in the previous RE games :?II_Seraphim_II

now that I think about it, every RE game never really showed characters from the other games, RE1 had the most diverse group of RE characters, re2 is was leon and clair and a little of ada, 3 was jill and a few lesser characters like the mexican and mikael, 0 had rebecca and billy, 4 it was leon and ada, so its not surprising that 5 will only have chris and sheva (as of right now)-Mad_Rhetoric-

Can't wait

But I hope its 15 hours of GAMEPLAY and not 7 hours and 8 hours cut scenes

We don't need another Metal Gears Solid 4

aawwww cop out with jill being really dead or not. Dam capcom guess you got me for RE6.finalfantasy94

[QUOTE="Zenkuso"][QUOTE="MickeyTheNinja"] Oh hey I found you, I remember reading your SIG about JIll awhile ago and was like "I think he is bluffing". Well guess what? Jill Valentine has been confirmed DEAD by Famitsu ad. http://n4g.com/gaming/News-244773.aspx Scroll down to Incoming news. And if you never buy another RE game again, or not even this one, thats pathetic.clone01

[QUOTE="-Mad_Rhetoric-"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Well Alot of speculation has been flying around that Jill is the "birdwoman"Animal-Mother

Ya I have a feeling that this new Version of I guess las Plagas? Will be combined with the original form of the G-virus which is the progenitor which is from REzeroAnimal-Mother

I wish Resident Evil franchise was sold to someone with more apt ideas, someone like Valve. They won't buy my nostalgia by including characters from previous games, flashback sounds like a horrible idea, especially when they're not playable. I highly doubt that the puzzles will be of any challenge.Salt_The_Fries

- The following characters will not appear in the game: Claire

Animal-Mother

Noooooooooooooooooooo! :cry:

Yea its just dumb to kill such an important character off screen. I have faith that the whole grave thing is to make us think shes dead. Also the guy calling me pathetic the reasion I say this is because in genrial to me RE has become less interesting and the only thing that keeps me coming back is the characters and if they replace jill with this noob girl im done with it since she is my favorite character in the series.

wow alot of things similar to MGS4, even their trailer where wesker appears, much respect for Capcom to realize how awesome MGS4 was.

Im hyped now for the game.
