[Sunglasses]

ya the interview is pretty interesting.
If someone is interested since I'm italian I could translate key points of the interview

[Darkmoon]

Go for it. More info can never hurt.

[Sunglasses]

there aren't really new info but i think is interesting, I did my best for the translation. forgive my bad english

Here the key points of the interview with Kawata:

» RE5 has more action, horror and generally “more” of everything than RE4;
» Umbrella Corporation no longer exists but there are several other organizations committing acts of bioterrorism, and similarly there are others, like the BSAA, seeking to combat these actions;
» replying to the question about the tombstone of Jill Valentine, Kawata says that in all the trailer of RE5 who issued so far they inserted at the end a short frame that could shake or leave impressed fans of the series. All these elements are very important aspects of the plot, and therefore so is the tomb of Jill (not her death?);
» Capcom chosen as platforms both Xbox 360 and PS3 because they are the most proper consoles for the new gaming experience that RE5 is going to offers, they have a valid online component for the online co-op experience and the best graphics quality thanks to the high definition;
» horror will be very present, but violent scenes will be scary and not disgusting or splatter.
Kawata takes as example the scenes that shows the Executioner killing a guy in the trailer, his cutted head hasn’t been shown but we can se only the bloody ax, the video leaves to imagine what happened after seeing the bloody ax but doesn’t show a bloody head flying. Capcom thinks horror and splatter are two totally different elements, not necessary an horror games must have splatter scenes, they think atmospheres and the power of the immagination are better than gore and bloody scenes.
» the public who tried the demo at the TGS loved the introduction of the new optional controls scheme called “Action”;
» Kawata said that RE series, with RE5, reached a certain conclusion of the series, and from this point of view he believe that it will be a title very important. In RE5 will be unveiled an element that is going to evolving in other situations with the next chapters. (this is probably the most important point of the interview).

Those people sound like major assholes.

That was definitely below the belt.

I played this on the show floor, and man, it felt just like Resident Evil 4 with much shinier graphics. Then I played it two-player co-op. The rule is that everything is better with a friend, and shinier Resident Evil 4 with a friend is better than probably anything released since, uhh, Resident Evil 4. If the trailer is any indication, the story will be trashy nonsense, and I certainly won't care about any of the characters or be surprised by any plot developments. Also, the voice-acting sounds completely awful, with weird over-accentuations and stilted delivery. If this is a "throwback" to the way games "used to be", I can only sigh. If it's unintentional, I cannot apologize: with all the money they're spending on the graphics, you figure they'd budget more than $5,000 total for voice acting and script writing. If the dialogue were just a tiny bit snappier . . . ahh, I won't even bother. It's trying to be a big dumb B-movie of a game, and it's succeeding, which I suppose is a lot more applaudable than trying to be literature and ending up Metal Gear Solid 4.

Hardly the biggest shock in the world that RE5's stolen the show really. If that's what next year has to offer though, seems like a pretty slow year!

Famitsu have a video of "Biohazard 5 Special Stage" at TGS, which was when the offline co-op split screen mode was first shown. It shows a brief few secs of the background filming for the motion capture, as well as the videos demonstrating the split screen mode, and a portion of Sheva sniping the tribemen video we have seen earlier on. Nothing major

I didn't get anything from that video. But we're able to be Chris Redfield in the PS Home?

Just wait for the 5334513656 Chris Redfield's online.

[Mr_Zombie]

To be honest, that "Chris" character doesn't even look that good. I'm sure that fans would be albe to do Sims that would look more like RE5 Chris :/.

[Stu]

Yeah it looks so unlike Chris i'm assuming it's not meant to be Chris and it's just the clothes that people should focus on.
