T-minus virus

Ha ha ha ha that was a good header as well. Anyways, the clock on http://www.residentevil.com/ has counted down and we are now treated to a new video of Resi 5, and it looks freakin' awesome. It looks very much in the mould of Resi 4 but with better looks (is that possible) and more, much more enemies on screen. It looks like the game once again features parasites that inhabit the body and come out the head. But I wont spoil it too much for you, head to the site and see for yourselves.

Countdown to extinction

Good god I'm getting really good at my story titles. If you head on over to http://www.residentevil.com/ you will find a static image with some fuzzy sound and more importantly a countdown timer. What is it counting down to? Some are saying that it is for a new trailer at the end of May. There apparently is a new trailer due on the 31st of May but surely it can't just be that. When I just looked there were 66 hours left which would take us to Friday. Ah well as soon as I see what it is I shall let the loyal know.

Who's that girl?

Some snippets of info are staring to dribble out regarding Resident Evil 5. Famitsu magazine has recently run a small article (above) detailing some background of the characters and the setting. The quick among you will notice the inclusion of characters. Yup there is a mystery woman in the game who you may also get to play with along with Chris. Is it Jill? Don't know, but she does look a bit like her, look up there what do you think? I'm thinking maybe two player co-op, how absolutely brilliant would that be for a resi game? T-virus riffic. Still don't know when it's out though, hopefully this year.

Iron lion zion

A nice wee man at Capcom has let loose a few details about Resi 5. Mostly he has been explaining why Africa has been chosen as the setting. It seems that Africa is where life and the T-Virus originated, so why not. Also we get to find out what has been happening in the ten years since S.T.A.R.S. dis-banded. This game is high on my want-o-radar so as soon as I hear more it will be here. Just for the record, I do not see there being any racism with setting the game in Africa and having to shoot coloured zombies.....we've been shooting white zombies for years and no one minded so.....
