Resident Evil

[Hunchman801]

It's official, the last game of the Resident Evil series will come out on March 13th 2009 in the US and in Europe. We already knew that Chris Redfield would be the hero and that the story would take place in Africa, but many things were revealed yesterday at the E3
The game engine is very similar to the one of RE4, and enemies also seem to be infected with plagas-like parasites. As usual, there's also going to be a whole range of monstrous foes, such as giants, bat-like creatures, and other indescribable things, and dantesque enemies, not to mention a skimpy but creepy chainsaw man, and a sick masked executioner with a huge mace...

Here are a few videos:

• Cooperation mode
• Gameplay and cut scenes
• Trailer Captivate 08
• Interview with Jun Takeuchi
• Trailer E3 2008

And many high quality screenshots here!

So, let's talk about it

[Tobbe]

This is great! The Resident Evil series is amazing! Especially RE4!

[Hunchman801]

My favourite episode remains the GameCube version of RE1 (Rebirth), but RE4 sure is one of the best games I've ever played. By the way, the awesome Mercenaries mode is apparently back in RE5, I remember playing it until 6 AM with friends, and I hope they'll make it multiplayer this time, as there will be a cooperation mode for the game itself
By the way, there are good quality pictures of the new Dr Salvador and of the executioner in the screenshot list I mentioned above, you should have a look at them!

[Tobbe]

I already did.

And a couple of new videos:

Another version of the trailer

Many unknown characters can be seen, the mad pyrotechnist ( ), a very nice looking woman with an awesome dress, and a masked woman in a cloak. And by the way, the executioner actually wields a huge hammer. Damn I can't wait

[Tobbe]

I'm definitely getting this on release day!

[Beebop]

I'm going to have to get a PS3 first.

[Tobbe]

Get a 360 instead.

[Hunchman801]

My bro already has a 360 so I'd rather buy a PS3 that I can take to Paris. By the way, is your 360 noisy, Tobbe? Ours sounds like a hoover

[Limely]

I know my old xbox sounded like a centrifuging washing-machine.

Yeah it's a bit noisy, but I don't mind.

[Hunchman801]

Just making sure ours isn't going to blow up

[Beebop]

Well, it's my 18th birthday in 7 days, so maybe I will get a PS3 =o

[Hunchman801]

If I decide to buy one, I'll wait until 2009, as they lower the prices each year.

[Phoenixan]

I still need to pick up the PC version of RE4. I played it already on the GameCube, and it's a very fun game. I'll have to see how RE5 turns out to be.

[Shawn]

Yes, Beebop did post something like this a long time ago. But it was really just a guide for RE4, not a thread where you talk about the entire series.

So, to start, I'm looking forward to the Wii version of RE1 to come out. It's already out in Japan from what I've heard. There's even box art for it. Not fan-made either.

[spiraldoor]

I heard RE plays really badly on the Wii. I also heard that RE5 is the same as RE4.

[Shawn]

I heard RE plays really badly on the Wii.

You hear wrong. It's actually better, since aiming is much easier. It has scores that are on par with the original GC version. In fact, people say that the Wii controls make it too easy. So, they work.

[spiraldoor]

Okay.

I have RE1 for PS1, but I haven't played it much. The game feels a bit...old.

[Shawn]

It really grinds my gears that the fourth Resident Evil movie has nothing to do with the fourth Resident Evil game.
