EGM Article Summary

[Dot50Cal]

He can post them again if he feels free. The only thing I want to do is protect THIA from getting a DMCA notice. So as long as the scans aren't hosted here, its fine.

Nothing really to note in the images though. Just areas we've all seen before really.

[Jill's Boob]

Cool, thanks. I'll see them eventually. With all the news released in the past 24 hours, I am satisfied anyway. Now I'll just impatiently wait for the TGS media.

[Zombie]

At the end the 1up Show/EGM cover of RE5 was a big joke, I was expecting more information. Anyway, can you post again the scans?.

[SlurmsMackenzie]

Disappointing that it will be shorter than Resident evil 4, I didn't feel Re4 was that long.

[Stars1356]

I don't mind it being shorter as long as its good I will play it mutliple times. I sure after playing the first time threw alone, I will want to play online with another person.

[JcFFx]

I wouldn't mind RE5 being shorter as long as they don't use BS ways to stretch out a 'plot' like they did in RE4.

I like actually getting the sense that I'm making progress...

Takeuchi hints that we already saw all the returning characters - that means that Sherry isn't the mystery woman NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dot50Cal]

He means we've seen all the people so far. Its Sherry, has to be.

[Stu]

Archelon, NONE of the links gave me any picture. NONE.

RE5 features a more powerful strain of the Las Plagas, which has found its way to Africa

Bullshit. Takeuchi already confirmed RE5 has nothing to do with RE4 story-wise.

EGM editors are so lame.

So what if that's what Takuechi said? A game could be called "more violent than Mortal Kombat" and be nothing to do with Mortal Kombat. A war game could be "darker than Condemned" and not have anything to do with Condemned.

Do you get it? He's just using Las Plagas as a measuring stick, that's all.

[A-J]

i dunno, the plagas popping out of the enemies mouth's that we've seen so far does look a lot like a more advanced stage of the familiar las plagas.

i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up relating to it.

[Mr. Spencer]

[*]Takeuchi wants to include Akuma as a playable character in the Mercenaries mini-game (referencing an old EGM april fools joke for RE2)

Akuma? Bah. Needs Bison.

[aris13]

Akuma? Bah. Needs Bison.

Well, i prefer Ken. Shoryuken!!!!!!

[Petronio]

Takeuchi hints that we've already seen all the returning characters, and no other ones will be in the game

mmm. Where have you read it? I read: "probalbly not seetoo many other characters from previuous Resident Evil games".

i don't know if he refers to Wesker and Sherry, or someone else...

It would be strange not to see old characters in chris' flashbacks.

[Mr. Spencer]

I imagine that this casts some doubt over the possibility of Spencer being in the game.

[Dot50Cal]

Where is all this flashback stuff coming from? Is there actually a source for it besides my speculation several weeks ago?

[Stu]

The flashbacks thing has been around for months, wasn't it from Takeuchi on the Famitsu DVD?

[Jill Lover]

Are the EGM images cool? Anything of note? I missed them when they were posted by Archelon earlier today. Are they anywhere else as of right now?

Nothing that we haven't already seen. So don't worry. The information it's quite forced cause many of it has been told here. There were about 9 or 10 pages (Not quite sure). I just liked the cover, the inside pictures were ok but nothing really new to tell. There was a big close - up of Wesker's artwork in the magazine summary, first page which was pretty cool...

It's pretty dissapointing that they didn't mention anything of flashbacks, who's the well-known character returning then? They didn't mention it at all... I guess that it meant to be Sherry once they rumour came up but I'm not sure about it... Or... that meant that this character that old fans from the series would recognize is Wesker? I'm kinda lost...

I was hoping a brief mention of Jill.... this is so sad...

[Petronio]

They are not confirmed. But more than likely. T keep saying that Chris past is very important, so everybody thinks that there will be flashbacks (cutscenes i suppose). Another way could be the use of files.

The returing character is "Birdwoman". They said "there is an old character you won't recognise soon", a and then a screenshot of "Birdwoman" appeared on Famistu

[Jill Lover]

Mmmh, so I bet that old character may be Ada Wong, assuming that Wesker is returning that bitch in red is returning aswell... (damn!). Her skin tone is quite different though, I hope that Jill is involved in the story/plot but I don't want her as a B-O-W or something... that would be shocking... cause it seems that the masked female it's been experimented as *Cough* Sherry... Thanks Petronio for clearing my mind.
