Typically when you make someone look like a vacuous retarded waste of space, you make them look like Keanu Reeves, yes.

No title change.

I meant the thread title change. I know that it has always been Biohazard in Japan.....



Look at those screenshots! Look at the awesome visuals

The new trailer is also available for download on the JPNS PSN (probably the NA PSN later today too) and the Live Marketplace. Heh, anyone notice that the trailer seems to feature more caucasian "zombies" now? I wonder if that was in response to the negative media the initial trailer was getting.

The trailer on the Japanese PSN is censored and has different scenes.
*Update* Biohazard 5 Trailer - Censored (contains new scenes!) - The Horror Is Alive


You can get the video here
The Horror Is Alive

If you want to know of some good predictions, check out this months game informer. (guitar hero 4 on the cover) It has a breakdown of the key points in the trailer as well as information that was not released proir to this issue.

Damn those shots look nice but 2010?!? Maybe a PS3 will actually be in my budget by then...but probably not .

Spoiler:

I watched the trailer some days ago, it was very good, there was a chainsaw. I still think that dude has too enormous upper arms, but whatever

A little more believable than a female heroine wearing a cocktail dress

Yeah I never understood that in RE4. I mean in RE2 she was probably trying to pass off as a resident in the city trying to find her BF and get the hell out of there, but the red dress in RE4? When she was send on a mission to retrieve something in a place full of brain washed people?

I mean aside for sending up the line "Bitch in the red dresss.", it has no real function.

Sheva's design looks cool though, I like the touch of African Native Jewellry on top of the combat look.

(The wallpapers on the official site exposes that her name is Sheva, incase you're wondering where I got it from.)

Since when has a tank top, skin tight pants, and heeled boots been combat?

'A combat look' doesn't necessarily mean 'official military uniform'. Surely you can see the army themes in that outfit. Of course it's still fan service, but combined with military service this time. More functional than a cocktail dress, certainly.

But nowhere near as awesome as a cocktail dress. Also, that woman can't be black, she's severely lacking in the "ass" department.

She's authentically african, not african-american (yeah yeah).

Anyway pieces coming together and waiting with hope.

Yeah, but hold on!~ She isn't packing dual desert eagles =0 Also, her grocery cart is a couple cantaloupes shy, if you get my drift. And I'm not making a reference to her intelligence =V

Sigh. Capcom folds. Introduces a "diverse mix" of zombies instead of just black. As someone who has seen a few parts of Africa, I must say that it doesn't make sense to have whites mixed in to shitty little hovels and the like. South Africa? Sure. Big cities? You betcha. But somewhere in the middle of nowhere in North Africa? Uh.

Killing Spaniards = fine and dandy
Killing Africans = zomg racist

Well maybe they could justify that if say, UN or people from Red Cross travelled to North Africa in real life, then they could hypothetically get infected in RE5...

Still, I wouldn't be surprise if this IS a response to the whole "Aiee! Must have diversity with Blacks or its racist!" BS.

There is online co-op in Biohazard 5!!!!!

Trailer looks bad ass. Love that we're gonna have a car chase sequence with gameplay. And Biker "zombies" too. Interesting that Sheva is on the right side of the screen when you play as her... I also spot the trolls making a come back in this one.

As for online Co Op, awesome that people can Co-Op this on LIVE. Annoying for me though if my and my fiance wanna play together... In the same room... With just one 360.

Still, looks awesome! Maybe when we can afford two 360s and two LIVE accounts... And have enough room for two TVs, I would love to Co Op with my fiance or friends who come over. Untill then, I'd probably ring up some online buddies to play with.

As for the Co-Op video, loved it. The characters assisting each other to reach places one cannot reach, and then supporting the character despite the distance in combat, by using weapons like a sniper rifle. Also like the fact that one character can shoot the door lock so the other can join him or her. Boss fights are defintly gonna be interesting with this new element. One thing I like to know is that whether or not we have friendly fire in this game. In RE4 you can definitly hurt Ashley with everything except shotgun spread shots. (She only dies if you aim the shotgun right at her.)

The video also shows that item pick up does not interrupt the flow of the game like the last one. From what I can tell, changing your gear is also likely all done in real time, meaning I doubt there's a pause button when you hit the menu, if there is one...

Another thing I noticed is that the equipment set up is similar with Umbrella Chronicles. A basic handgun and then you can immediatly switch to a heavier weapon on the fly. This is probably done to get rid or minimise pauses that happen when fiddling around with equipment in the menu screen, which can't really happen in a Co Op action game.

Also the video confirms that Sheva is part of the same new group Chris is in, but she's stationed in the African faction, which likely means that she was trained and born there. Meaning those who are still pulling the racist card need to shut the hell up. And from the trailer, looks like some US army people are also stationed there, maybe they're there for relief purposes, but it shows there are SOME white people located there for legit reasons.
