Resident Evil 5

[Sidderz]

Resident Evil 5.. So. What are people's opinions on the trailer and various information we have recieved about it so far.

It sounds promising in my opinion and I really liked the trailer, gave us not so much information but a good setting etc.:)

[chrism3784]

Funny thing, I really havn't seen it yet. Im so unimpressed by 4. Not saying 4 is a bad game, just not used to it yet.

o_o I was over-impressed by 4. Difference of opinion. xD I love four it concreted my fanboyism into the series.

There's it if you want to see it.

One of my favorite things is the reluctance to embrace something that isn't the same recycled and inefficient system from 1996, to the point where the innovation and improvement of the newest installment is completely disregarded.

[chrism3784]

Wow, unbelievable. It has come a long way. It probably won't be for a while till I get a ps3, and get that game.

[Sidderz]

Wow, unbelievable.

In a nutshell. ^_^

[pogo]

I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we see it, it looks like another game or is for that matter. They claimed it was running in real time last July (I think it was?) then they said they hadn't even begun working on it yet a few months back, how does that work? The video is likely a rough estimation of how they hope it will look and if PS3 games so far are anything to go buy I would say it will look 40-60% as good as it does there.

Did any of you look up Tekken 6 from E3 05 then look at the trailer at 06? I would like to know how they could guess so far off the mark with that one. It looked more like a enhanced Tekken Dark Resurrection to me.

Different developers have different abilities. If Dead Rising is any indication I think they are doing a fine job, not quite the quality of the trailer for RE5 but probably close to it.

Production Studio 2 has a lot of people there, in addition to crossover employees from other departments (including 4's Masachika Kawata who's working on the game). Too many examples to mention.. in addition to some examples of the same team producing titles of VERY different qualities (DMC2 and DMC3); that's another matter though.

It's more than safe to assume that the RE5 team is the biggest yet for a project. They've got developers from various departments working on it, who previously worked on the earlier games, and for the first time, they've got two platforms to worry about. Having said that, I have no doubt that the game will be well crafted in every way possible.. this isn't going to be another DMC2.

I rambled enough lol.. my point is, same department =/ same developers (entirely that is)

[Nikovich]

As far as I know, that's an old video, and released during the time that all the PS3 videos being shown were not even using actual PS3 hardware. If that were the case, it puts a pretty big dent in saying it was real-time.

[Sidderz]

Yeah that video was released quite a while back and to be honest the graphics aren't "brilliant" as such. Final Fantasy XIII, now that's a trailer that satisfied my real-time and gaming needs. ^^; :D

[Borman]

FFXIII isnt that great, take a look past the models in anything that they claim to be ingame, meaning not the CGI. The backgrounds are nothing special.

Regardless. It looks good overrall.

[Borman]

Sure, but its nothing special ;)

[Sidderz]

Meh. I guess I appreciate Final Fantasy quite alot.

[Umon Daisuke]

Come on now, be it backgrounds or character models, FFXIII is the most aesthetically beautiful game so far from the next gen in development lineup, and it's nowhere near completion. If it's not special, I don't know what is. And yes, almost everything show has been realtime, aside from a few CGI shots (not claims, as the game was shown to Famitsu editors). It's nowhere near completion, and not target realtime renders like the RE5 or DMC4 trailers from last year.

Not saying that Capcom won't meet them, and in fact, Kobayashi confirmed that they've met and will possibly surpass the visuals shown in the TGS trailer of DMC4.

I suppose it boils down to aesthetic preference.

Rushed just for the show, so it's nothing to go by. Namco's Tekken team has always been at the front of PS platform development since 1994, and all their titles have been great showcases. T6 is missing launch, and it's not going to be playable at the TGS >_< That's a good thing though.

Like Capcom, they showed target renders last year, but creating a fighting game is a bit more complex on the whole so it's taking more time. They've had their hands busy with DR, and the PSP port.

[Borman]

No, it hasnt all been real time. PSM said it themselves that there was CGI along with some in-game rendered shots. The likes of Gears of War, Halo 3, plus plenty of PS3 games at that, look plenty as good as FFXIII.

[Umon Daisuke]

I didn't say it was all realtime ;)

I go by Famitsu translations, because as we all know, PSM is... well, The Inquirer of the print press.

[Borman]

The translations are just as bad a majority of the times

[Umon Daisuke]

I didn't make that comment about PSM just to make this particular point; I really don't like the mag at all. My translator sources are residents of Japan, and some of them work for "certain" publishers.

At any rate, the CGI shots can be distinguished from the realtime ones. Obviously, nothing's going to be close to new CGI in the next generation.

[Sidderz]

Regardless. These are still trailers, that can be edited and changed and updated. *doesn't know what relevance that has* Anyway. Perhaps we should re-direct conversation back to the trailer of RE5. I could see a small arguement beginning out of the current line of talk.

I heard a rumour that the Wii game could infact be RE5 after all, according to Evil Unleashed that is. They are even bigger than Resident Evil Horror now. :)

[Dot50Cal]

Peter, that was probably speculation from a mis-translation on Pro-G's interview with a dev.

[Umon Daisuke]

That's most likely it. Capcom put out a seperate released on their IR site for the Wii game, referring to it as "RE series". A watered down port of RE5 VS. a Wii-specifc game.. tough choice.

Hmm, didn't realize that REH is considered "big" LOL. No wonder it's been so cold around here.

[Grace Saunders]

Yeah, the Resident Evil community has been rather dry lately. I believe Resident Evil 5 is sitting on the back burner as we speak. I just wish Capcom would give us something new to talk about. Although I must thank them for the controversy they've caused. They certainly kept us occupied for months before Resident Evil 4 was released. :)

[Arlumit]

I had even heard rumors of Resident evil 6 too.

I heard that Jill is going to have her own brother , Kelly.

that BEFORE chris redfield become RE5 cast, but I had really heard RE6.

Woah. Early for that isn't it? Also, if that Jill thing is true I don't really like it. More characters please. (Good ones.) Not more siblings etc.:)

[Arlumit]

one yr Before bio4 is going to issue, I already heard bio5. it's truth, maybe china has news slower than japan's capcom BUT quicker than anywhere else.

I have some chinese net-buddies. that is why i know 5 in 2004. Late 2004. the cast is being rumored to be jill's young bro kelly, kelly isn't from my own imagination. japanese side spread this out.

so 6 one may also be true

[Dot50Cal]

Thats about the most implausible thing ever. Its clearly Chris as hinted by the devs, and for gods sake look at the knife. I heard that rumor too but its utter trash.

[Sidderz]

Agreed. It is obvious. OR. Hopefully they'll re-do it all and Ada will be revealed as the Main Char' of RE5. *hopeful sigh*:)

[Grace Saunders]

I made a pact not to talk about Resident Evil again until we get some REAL God darn news. ;)

which rumor?

Impossible! Ada had already appeared in Bio4, she won't be able to appear again in bio5.

Successive appearance of THE SAME character will result in boredom.

Bio5 is rumored to have Jill valentine, Claire Redfield too. but i dont think it has.

[Grace Saunders]

Capcom must really be focused on this game because I've noticed Resident Evil games take longer to develop and release than the vast majority of their other games.
