Thanks to Capcom and GameTrailers, there's a brand spanking new "Captivate" Resident Evil 5 trailer that's guaranteed to give you a satisfying dose of zombie killing and virus exposure. The RE5 trailer (viewable above) also shows plenty of in-game action, beautiful, gorgeous in-game action where, at one point, we swear we counted twenty-seven zombies on the screen at once. And a few infected dogs. There's also a chick, man.

Looks good.
Chris @ May 31st 2008 12:00PM
:O
that is all
psyborg @ May 31st 2008 12:13PM
My god it looks great.
Mr. Balance @ May 31st 2008 12:41PM
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! ive never seen such shitty graphics in my life. the texture mapping is last gen, the color palette is wrong, the polygons look muddy.... just to name a few things. as far as im concerned.... condemned is the superior horror franchise these days.
chris is too big and looks like a monkey.
no one cares about some new chick, BRING BACK CLAIRE!
and did i mention the graphics suck?
Arnon @ May 31st 2008 6:28PM
Did I mention that you troll all of these videos?..
I DeX I @ Jun 1st 2008 2:25AM
The polygons look muddy?
Darkwun @ May 31st 2008 12:44PM
i've not been this interested about an RE title since Code Veronica this could definately make its way to my collection
Arsonism @ May 31st 2008 12:50PM
Come on, you have to be kidding... This game looks great. I think maybe the video just wasn't very high quality. As far as color goes maybe the makers wanted it that way. Regardless I can't wait for it to come out.
stukorn @ May 31st 2008 1:36PM
i do agree with you, some of the textures did look quite bland, looks like little not no use of bump mapping. I am a big Resi fan so I am very much looking forward to it.
Heather @ May 31st 2008 1:07PM
Incredible, I can't wait!!
Max @ May 31st 2008 1:11PM
The accent of the villager seems a little off to me! I guess you can credit that to bad voice acting! For those of you wondering what I'm comparing it too in my mind to come up with that conclusion then its SCDA which had a level in africa as well!
But overall the game looks promising!
the truth @ May 31st 2008 1:17PM
Mr. Balance wouldn't know a good game looking game if it hit him in the face. He sounds like one of those "i dont like it so it must suck people" Go play a non action game like BOF3 or FF7
Triforceowner @ May 31st 2008 1:20PM
"There's no humanity here." Oh Capcom, that really didn't help you. Not to mention the sidekick who appears to be the only friendly person in Africa is white... or at least not black. Really, if they had just made that character black they would have saved themselves fully from gamers thinking poorly of Capcom.
Anyway, it will probably be a great game, graphics look wonderful as well as the plant thing that comes out of the infecteds' throats.
FM @ May 31st 2008 4:41PM
are you kidding me? that sidekick WAS black. there's no denying it and she looked really great like i thought she was real
but really, i was relieved that there was at least one african in the game SO FAR who doesn't seem evil
colin17 @ May 31st 2008 9:19PM
you realize there's another character you meet up with too who's black ( if you go on the resident evil website you'll see it), but still it shouldn't even matter. this isn't a racist game......
Tony @ May 31st 2008 11:18PM
I think it's also worth noting that there appear to be zombies that are white as well.
Triforceowner @ May 31st 2008 11:38PM
oops, I meant in my original message to convey some doubt in my discerning of her race. Sorry for the confusion. I made it sound like I was sure she was white, when to be honest, I can not really tell what race she is.
And see, Tony says there are obviously white zombies, but I can not discern that because of the lighting.
Ah, well, I'm not a troll, I just have recently fallen into the N'Gai Croel (sp) camp on RE5. It probably isn't racist but could be seen as such is his mantra.
Mr. Balance @ May 31st 2008 1:21PM
the only thing true about "the truth" is that he is color blind as far as graphics are concerned. you were probably one of those people who thought that shitty gears of war game was good only cause of the chainsaw... even though it was nothing more then a half assed wanna be action game.
Insomnious @ May 31st 2008 5:09PM
Don't feed the troll!
Ghost8282 @ Jun 4th 2008 11:12AM
Mr.Balance you wouldn't know a good game is it came and bitt yuou on the ass. Gears of war was amazing and the graphics for this game is incredible. So think next time before you open your big mouth. RETARD!!!!!
the truth @ May 31st 2008 1:48PM
Seems as you are the only one that had a problem with those graphics as they are still pretty much the top in visuals in this gen of graphics. Maybe if people didnt compare games from 92' to ones made in 08' then you'd be able to tell the difference. The trailer looked great and the new sidekick seems like she may bring something new to the table unlike the terrible sidekicks like Tifa and the like.
Med!c @ May 31st 2008 2:01PM
Mr. Balance just doesn't like games that the majority of gamers do. I hate that. It's like when people hate bands because they think they've gone mainstream just because a lot of people like them.
Go stick to your unappreciated shitty unknown games no one plays but you. Obviously that's what makes them good, eh? They have to be unpopular.
Joel @ May 31st 2008 8:25PM
Chill out and go play your PS3
Med!c @ May 31st 2008 2:42PM
You, sir, just got TROLL'D so hard.
Mr. Balance @ May 31st 2008 3:47PM
shut the fuck up you fucking asshole. you goof ball fuck. ill shit on you.
Marianela @ May 31st 2008 3:26PM
>>>@Mr. Balance
Hey Mr. Balance. Can i ask you a serious question.
Are you homophobic? (I can't stand people like you. Ugh. So immature.)
Donald @ May 31st 2008 3:45PM
Oh, So your a PS3 Fanboy, I see how it is.
The Homophobes crowd around the PS3 like a camp fire.
The game looks like fun and thats all that really matters. I also dont need a game like Uncharted where your pants are covered in glitter. Any game can add cheap reflections to everything.
This game will give me something to play on the PS3 after I finish MGS4! Woo!
Ryan @ May 31st 2008 3:48PM
Mr. Balance said: "your a fucking retard..."
Ahahahaha. I'd make fun of you for this statement, but it's obvious you wouldn't understand why I was even mocking you.
Viva La Champ @ May 31st 2008 3:56PM
@Ryan
Couldn't agree more...This guy also told people "You are queers" ummm how come someone be a queer, for saying the graphics aren't bad?
and then he goes on to say "your retards"
Ya anyone else see a connection here???
imo, the game looks good. It seems they have improved the graphics from the last trailer, and well not being a RE gamer, I'll def. try this out! =]
BIGPHILL @ May 31st 2008 11:18PM
Capcom needs to pay close attention to all the "negative" attention this game gets the "there's no humanity here" line doesn't help them one bit with the racial controversy surrounding this game. I Am looking foward to re5, and will have it the day it drops, but "triforceowner" ( in one of the above posts) pretty much stated what I was already thinking.
Van @ Jun 2nd 2008 1:17PM
Dude, people need to get over this racism thing.
1. Its a game.
2. The villagers are infected hence the no humanity comment.
3. Zombies are not your friends!!!!
4. If a white zombie and a black zombie attacked you, would you show more sympathy to the black zombie so you wouldn't seem racist? No, you wouldn't show sympathy to either, because they both deserve a bullet to the brain... BECAUSE THEY ARE ZOMBIES!!!!
valek500 @ May 31st 2008 10:04PM
The graphics in Resident Evil 5 are more gorgeous and more next gen. Not like metal gear 4 the graphics are good but no so good.
resident evil 5 = true next gen graphics
metal gear 4 = good graphics but not that good like resident evil 5
Anticrawl @ May 31st 2008 5:49PM
Wow, someone pissed in Mr. Horrible's cheerios.
Cameron Adams @ May 31st 2008 6:31PM
Clearly, the way to get at people is an overuse of the CAPS LOCKS and swearing at people on the internet.
Now, Mr Balance, your opinion was rude and didn't offer anything in the way of a helpful explanation.
Andd, if you honestly think insulting people on the internet makes you:
A)right
B)Better then us
C)Not a twat
You have another thing coming.
Simple matter is, you clearly have a strong opinion. Maybe you should stop and think that not only your opinion counts and regardless, people will still enjoy a game and love it.
You, could well be in the miniority.
Anyway, sorry about the long comment but it's about to get longer.
Looked very like RE4. Not a bad thing.
Enemies looked different but with upgraded versions of the parasites in RE4.
Mysterious female Sidekick. RE4
Awesome if somewhat brown graphics.
Kickass Action.
My analysis. Look Siick and I can't wait.
Can you Mr Balance?
More like Unbalanced.
End terrible pun..
Arnon @ May 31st 2008 6:31PM
Who cares what Mr.Balance thinks.. he'll probably get someone pissed off enough to find out his personal info and whatnot... Not only that, but I bet if the peeps at 360fanboy see most of his comments they'll block off his comp from accessing the site.
Ciaran Gallagher @ May 31st 2008 7:31PM
looks disgusting
Hak @ May 31st 2008 7:41PM
love the dedication to animating a shotgun right, no FPS shooter does it right except this and FEAR, the same formula as RE 4 but with more enemies, better animation and upgraded graphics... SOLD!!
This will be a serious version of Dead Rising, move aside Frank West its time for the big boys to handle the zombies!!
The in-game footage impressed me 5 times more than MGS 4 did lol.....
BlitzSnake @ Jun 1st 2008 12:04AM
Wow, all of those chainsaw revs sound like Gears of War's chainsaw..and also..when he's cutting through the gate...it sounds EXACTLY like the chainsaw duel in the Gears of War 2 announcement trailer...:O!
Pretty cool, though. I'm definitely getting this.
victor360hd @ May 31st 2008 11:07PM
awesome
Smartdonkey66 @ May 31st 2008 11:45PM
the things that come out of the zombie's mouths sorta look like the things that the zombies had in the movie Blade II if i remember correctly. this game looks kickass btw.
valek500 @ Jun 1st 2008 12:35AM
Hey Mr. Balance take a chill pill an shut the fuck up...go play with your gaystation upps sorry i mean playstation 3...JAJAJA
kyosh1ro @ Jun 1st 2008 6:32AM
Yea I don't see what the complaints are about at all..the graphics and textures look amazing. This game looks to be true to the feel and atmosphere of the recent titles in the Resident Evil franchise. This looks very promising.
Charlie @ Jun 1st 2008 10:48AM
This game looks pretty good, most likely a rent for me though. The whole racism thing is going to be blown up by the media though, so its alright for us to shoot white/spanish zombies but when its black zombies it becomes a racism? ugh I some how have a feeling this is going to be appearing on Oprah. Not that I watch Oprah or anything .>
I DeX I @ Jun 1st 2008 11:31AM
I like the girl.
Clint @ Jun 1st 2008 1:27PM
Agreed. The female sidekick looks delish. They somehow made her look black, white and asian all at once.
