I was gob smacked when I picked up the original back in 1997. I was amazed and inspired. I just loved the concept of an evil company experimenting and unleashing all sorts of evil in an isolated area in the woods. The characters were fantastic and I fell in love with the game and the series that day and I was only about 8 or 9 years old! The series has progressed very well over the years with titles such as Resident Evil 2. I'm very optimistic for Resident Evil's future despited little to no information regarding Resident Evil 5. I guess Capcom are finishing Umbrella Chronicles which is understable since the release date is far closer than that of RE5. I have hopes for the 'fifth' game despite there not being a lot of information open to us at this point. I just hope it's alot scarier than Resident Evil, but incorporates alot of features which Resident Evil 4 had, such as the over the shoulder camera and the sheer number of weapons available. I'm also hoping for a few S.T.A.R.S members to return and cover a few bits of information we've not been given regarding Umbrella's demise over the years. I'm also keeping a keen eye on Umbrella Chronicles despite not owning a WII, however I'm planning to buy one just for Umbrella chronicles (I'm a fanboy, I know!). The chance to revisit the Resident Evil universe with better visuals and better gameplay is very appealing.

All in all I'm extremely excited and I hope both games are as amazing as I expect them to be.
