The newest episode of the survival horror series Resident Evil 5, has now been scheduled for release in March 2009, after being pushed back by Capcom from its original release date in October 2008. After the major success of resident evil 4 in 2005, there is much higher expectations this time around for the horror genre game, although information on the game is very shady at the moment (not much being said I see, great to see that they want to keep there users in suspense!) it evolves around the main characters Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as well as a few other team members.
The game itself is set to start in a shady alleyway a bit like the beginning of resident evil and then make its way to Africa, there will be some new aspects to the game such as a predicted split screen mode in which you can play, besides this it is said that the game will not only be set in the dark. The franchise is now looking to also bring the game to lightness, not to mention the different types of weather conditions. The game somewhat has a starching resemblance to Black Hawk Down.
The outbreak is set to be in full swing by the time Chris Redfield and his fellow team get into the action. The zombies will be a lot wiser and will be able to use weapons, a bit like in RE4. Chris will basically be looking to discover the origins of the progenitor virus seen in resident evil code veronica.
The combat will be more or less similar to what we have seen in older versions of the game with shooting, stabbing and fighting.
We all know that this will be a major hit for Capcom, since the rejuvenation that RE4 brought to the dying series. Resident Evil 5 looks to have the same concept as its predecessor, but with that extra bit of humph. It will be interesting to see Resident Evil being based in another country and we all know how big Africa is and the developers can take major advantage of that.
Already looking likely to take the best game of the year award for 2009. I would just like to warn you that RE5 will be telling one great heck of a story and with the combined processing power of the PS3 and Xbox 360 we look to in for a zombified treat!
Compared to all other horror games such as dino crisis or silent hill, this beats them hands down.
