New Resident Evil 5 Trailer

[Mr. Rod]

Yeah, I remember all the fuss about RE4 and then suddenly scans about the infamous final version buried all hopes for a decent story. I guess those feelings on most of us were redeemed on TGS 08.

Great to feel this way again for RE!

[TheBigG753]

Yeah. Without even playing more than the demo, I can already "confirm" (LOL) that RE5's story will blow RE4's out of the water.

Hell, absolutely nothing could happen in this game, and yet the appearance of Spencer alone makes it awesome.

[Mr. Rod]

I read your post at IGN Big, I still say tube girl = not Sherry

Takeuchi was asked by the interviewer if she was captured and never rescued, and he said, "yes we can say so". I'm sure it was planned from the beginning to be *you know who*. They would have redone all the voicework, for a name change? Highly unlikely!

Plus, I don't know which other big evidence is the detailed preview from the fan hehe

[TheBigG753]

For all I know, the fan drew his own conclusions.

I mean, if the game comes out and Jill now has a new hairstyle, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.

He SAW Chris and Jill running into a room in a flashback, and Chris said while looking at tube girl's pic: Jill?

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.

Good to know lol

Whoever Birdlady is she is a badass one of my new favorite characters.

i agree, even if she's not Jill, Birdlady looks awesome.

What is it with you people? First you bitch about Jill being dead, then when she's confirmed as alive and you have your own way, you THEN complain about her being "evil"?

because Evil or Dead, it's changing her character from what it was in the classics.

Oh God, about the aspect of clones...

When Birdwoman is holding up Irving, he says "you're just one of Excella's play-things!"
One of her play-things. Does that mean there's more...?

Oh no, oh God no, FUCK no...c'mon...no...

clones? damnit, why are capcom so determined ot copy of the movies all the time, why clones?

Thank you for those comments. I brought this up recently and was blasted for it. Nice to see the broken record is scratching your ears as well. There's fandom, and then there's fanaticism.

i take it you have read alll 1027 of my posts? and therefore know everything about me? why are you so obsessive over my opinions?

I have to say, Irving is awesome. This trailer definitely worked wonders for his character.

Irving was awesome, he seems like a really cool character, i don't ussually like male characters but Irving could be an exception.

Anyway, this trailer is incredible. Epic, even. And Chris is looking like the heroic goddamn sexual tyrannosaur male lead this series has needed. I love that he is finally getting his due. Nothing beats Wesker -vs- Chris in the RE universe. Nothing.

i can think of a few things i find way cooler that a fight between Chris and Wesker, i find there subplot to be quite boring, even though i like Wesker.

i found Wesker to be better when he was Captain Albert Wesker of the STARS team, after that, he wasn't nearly as cool, and then his coolness has continued to decline after that.

Yeah this obessing with characters is pathetic but you know what's even more pathetic people obssesing with other people on this forum. We covered this topic let it go.

i agree, and im not obsessing over characters, i just enjoy discussing Jill a lot.

Was anyone else blown away by Excella's facial expressions and perfect mouth movements when she's talking on the monitor? That might be the best I've ever seen. And also, the BOOBAGE at 2:00 was pretty gnarly as well.

Excella looks amazing in the trailer, and her facial expressions were awesome, i think capcom have done a good job with her, now that Wesker kinda sucks, i wouldn't mind Excella replacing him as series antagonist.

I'm really starting to pity Irving...seems like he's the one of the group they all kick around. I really wish I didn't watch the trailer though...but at the same time I'm glad I did.

Irving seems like a brilliant character, i can feel for his emotions and everything, he might become one of my favorites soon, hopefully capcom can pull it of, Irving looks promising.

Am I the only one who sees Excella becoming the new series antagonist?

nope, i think that to ChrisRedfield29 Excella looks to be a great lead antagonist, i would love to see her as the main villian, a kind of femme fatal maybe even.

[TheBigG753]

Something to look forward to I guess. Maybe there's two tube girls. I can't explain what the fan in London saw. Maybe it's a different picture. Couldn't say without seeing the scene myself.

I just don't see anything there that screams "Jill!" If we didn't already see the gravestone and whatnot, I'm not sure anyone would.

But again, if Chris can quadruple the size of his arms between games, I suppose Spoiler:

Jill can adopt a new hairstyle.

she sure looks nothing like Jill at all, i hope they didn't turn her blonde, i liked her old hairstyle much better, but i could get used to this as well.

I sure did see similarities between her REmake/UC model and tubegirl's facial features back in 2007...

That's the point!

The plaga parasites aren't controlled by a Master plaga. They're controlled via sound waves emitted from Saddler's ceremonial staff.

Spoiler:

Uhh, no. The Master Plagas emit the sound waves, not the rod. The Plagas are fused with the rod.

Also the parasite being injected isn't even a Plagas.

[Bianca]

I've been waiting all day to make a post so I could write something intelligent instead of my typical fangirl reaction to a new trailer... but even now I simply cannot! I'm far too excited about this game to contain myself! This trailer was amazing, and the next few weeks cannot possibly go by fast enough! GAAHH. I'm so pumped!

Uhh, no. Ada's Report specifically says it's the rod that is emitting the sound waves. Nowhere does it say that the rod is fused with plagas. The "tentacles" don't mean anything. For all we know, they could just be there for show, similar to how Saddler raises his hand when he "controls" the parasite within other people.

Ada's report also called Leon a genius if I remember correctly...It's been a while since I glanced at the report, but wasn't she only speculating about the rod? Wasn't there a moment when Saddler didn't have the rod and he tried to control Leon?

[Archelon]

Well, Ada is a bit biased. Love tends to make you say, do, and think crazy things.

I'm not sure if it was so much that he tried to control Leon as it was he just still had his hand up after slamming his palm into Leon's chest.

Ugh...let's not mention that again...their 'romance' is one of the worst aspects of the series for me since it is so terribly out of place and forced.

I'm not sure if it was so much that he tried to control Leon as it was he just still had his hand up after slamming his palm into Leon's chest.

I was thinking about an earlier scene...or maybe after the plagas are removed from Leon at the final fight. I really need to play 4 again to double check everything.

The only time Saddler doesn't have his staff with him when Leon is around is toward the end of the game when Leon finds Ashley in that weird machine. When Leon goes up the lift to face Saddle for the final time, Saddler has his staff with him.

I don't disagree, but it doesn't invalidate my point.

Omg! This trailer has caused quite a media fuss of speculation all over RE forums and YouTube. 177 posts in 15 hours just here at THIA?! Amazing! There is nothing like universal excitement/interest to get me more pumped about the game. RE5 has quite the collection of followers. Let's enjoy it now! Because, a week or two after the game comes out, silence will sweep us till the next game arrives in 4 years.

That was very poetic, man. Seriously. That was a very pretty post. It made me smile inside.

Well-said on all fronts. It expresses the true beauty of video games. The excitement that it brings, the happiness it involves. Making people happy...isn't that a lovely thing in life? I'm being serious. Let's appreciate that post, everyone. Let's put all the Jill fanboy bullshit and RE4-hating aside...and enjoy this young man's post.
