Resident Evil 5 #1 - You will say wow

[Master]

Infos / GAF-Übersetzungen zum dem Famitsu Artikel:

New Resident Evil 5 info from this week's Famitsu #1
- A new trailer will be shown in the very near future.
- For now, Famitsu will show images and some info from one part of that trailer. (intro paragraph written by Takeuchi)
- There's a new female character, shown holding a shotgun and wearing a tank top and boots similar to the ones Jill wore in RE3.
- In addition to areas that make use of sunlight as a gameplay dynamic, there will be darker, shadow-filled areas as well, such as a cavern where Chris utilizes a flashlight. There will be an intense contrast between light and dark.
- Chris is shown using his knife, a sniper rifle above a bridge that's above a river, and of course the handgun.
- A few pieces of artwork are shown, such Chris fighting villagers near a crashed helicopter, that same helicopter flying amidst a smoke-filled sky, and Chris witnessing the helicopter being shot down. There's also some kind of garden in the cavern with a giant hole above it, allowing the sunlight in.
- Chris is shown holding a blond girl noticeably shorter than him in a building.
- A picture of a chainsaw and the right leg of its weilder is shown.
- Chris will be up against very powerful enemies once again, and this shot of some creature behind iron bars is reminiscent of Chris's previous enemies, such as CODE: Veronica's Nosferatu (although it was Claire who faced him) and the REmake's Lisa Trevor. Those two creatures were imprisoned at some point as well.

...

"The trailer reveals the presence of 2 female characters. The one is to be found on the 2nd floor of a dilapidated house. It's a blond-hair woman wearing a red dress. Seems that she is entrapped in a dangerous situation and Chris went to rescue her. We speculate that she is under Chris's protection (she follows his commands during the game) and they both try to escape (something similar to Leon & Ashley in Bio4). The second female character, who has a brown skin, is brand new character to the series. It seems like she is an ally of Chris. At the present time not only their personalities, but even their names are unknown."

...

The mysterious shadow. This particular "swaying shadow" behind an iron fence might be holding the key/answer to the story.
Observing the picture below, you can see a naked man rusting away/out inside a prison. He is slouching somehow, his left hand juts out, his right hand is dangling loosely. It seems he is imprisoned by somebody. This man seems to be a very important character for Biohazard 5, perhaps because he's holding the key/anwser to the disaster that occured in this town. This man has a close resemblance to Nosferatu (from BioCV) and Lisa Trevor (from Biohazard remake). Which means that if Chris has to face him, he should be a tough opponent...

Waah same here !!!! Dass einem wieder ein Mädel an den AHcken klebt, geällt mir jetzt nicht so. Aber wer weiß? Möglicherweise ist's auch so ähnlich wie in PoP 3, wo man Farah nur aus der Entfernung sieht, auch wenn man sie ständig trifft. Das fände ich in Bezug auf RE5 schon ziemlich jeil.

Ich will es, JETZT!



Sieht wirklich unglaublich gut aus. Mir gefällt bisher eigentlich alles: Grafik, Chardesign, Atmosphäre.

Obwohl ich das Spiel eigentlich schon gerne jetzt hätte, hoffe ich doch, dass Capcom sich Müh egibt und das Spiel so perfekt wie möglich abliefert!

Auszüge aus der Vorschau:

Currently nameless, the mercenary’s inclusion means that, for the first time, you’ll be able to tackle a true Resident Evil game co-operatively online. Like Gears, the entirety of Resident Evil 5 features jump in/jump out gameplay with the AI taking over the reigns of our mysterious female mercenary when you’re playing alone.

...

If it wasn’t for the new features the game would read like a massive re-skinning job, but thanks to the inclusion of God Hand’s dodging abilities and a fully integrated online co-op story there’s enough on the new features front to avoid those damning accusations of cashing in on the same idea.

...

Resident Evil 5 doesn’t just feature a story; there’s the returning Mercenaries minigame and a whole host of other extras that are still safely under wraps.

(Ich hab das Bild zwar schonmal benutzt aber egal... Meine Reaktion war ähnlich. )

Ich will dieses Game! Jetzt!

Hier der Text des Previews:


"Resident Evil 5 takes place in an anonymous country (naming it would only serve to exacerbate issues of racial controversy that arose from last year’s extended trailer) somewhere along the Eritrean/Ethiopian/Kenyan line of active volcanoes. While the beginning of Resident Evil 5 echoes 4’s startling opening there’s one major difference; when Chris enters the village its residents are uninfected. The tranquil start is quite unlike anything else in the series, as up until now we’ve only ever explored locations with hostile inhabitants. Originating deep below the surface, the virus is released due to volcanic activity and turns hosts into maniacs that, crucially, retain all their intelligence and communication skills.

Not only are these enemies more intelligent than the Ganados, there are more of them too. Chris is no pushover, but we don’t like his odds. However, something that may play in his favor is the landscape. Resident Evil 5 will expand on two features from 4’s opening level: space and verticality. The days of exploring corridors are over, and, like Carnby’s run of Central Park in Alone in the Dark, Chris is going to have gigantic areas to explore with balconies and rooftops coming in to play thanks to his heightened athleticism. Shifting focus from narrow spaces to large areas has allowed Capcom to up both the number and intelligence levels of enemies, so when you’re running up stairs and ducking in and out of buildings you’ll not only have more people chasing you but enemies who can actually pre-empt your moves and block your way too."

"If Resident Evil 4’s Dr. Salvador set your pulse racing, then get ready for a heart-attack. The ante’s been upped, and Chris has two of the bastards to deal with now. While we’ve seen plenty of the ‘Executioner’ - the sack-headed freak with a giant makeshift axe - the first glimpse of an even more terrifying foe reveals a chainsaw-wielding psycho. This guy doesn’t need his fellow villagers to wrestle you to the ground before lopping your head off, he simply needs to charge at you and let those nickel teeth do all the bloody work. Two super-baddies means twice the panic. In the areas where you’re separated from your partner there’ll be one roaming for each player, but when you’re thrown together you’d better have more than one escape route in mind. Resident Evil 5 is far less linear than its predecessors. The open locations have multiple exits to utilize (and hence entrances for the enemies to swarm you) instead of the staple diet of ‘corridor action’ we’ve grown accustomed to. If you really want to stand and fight, make sure you’ve got the weapons to do so."

"New to Resident Evil 5’s combat system is the ability to lock to a wall and fire around the corner. Say goodbye to awkward shuffling in order to find a line of sight through a doorway. Strafing is still out, but factor in Chris’ ability to duck and dive with the right stick too and he’s much more agile than Leon. This is just as well, because with a fragile girl in tow you need all the firepower and new skills you can get. Like 4, Resident Evil 5 will appeal to your paternal instincts by asking you to lay down your life for the young lady in need of rescue."

"Or should we say maternal? It all depends on whether you’re Player Two or not. Joining Chris’ fight is a new female character. Now that Chris has a partner he needs to keep in constant touch. He has both a Bluetooth headset (and phone) and a walkie-talkie; one is for chatting with the female mercenary and the other for speaking to the outside BSAA contact, Metal Gear Solid codec style. Currently nameless, the mercenary’s inclusion means that, for the first time, you’ll be able to tackle a true Resident Evil game co-operatively online. Like Gears, the entirety of Resident Evil 5 features jump in/jump out gameplay with the AI taking over the reigns of our mysterious female mercenary when you’re playing alone."

"Takeuchi also promises, in his own words, varying weather effects and different ‘passages of time’ - which, buried among talk of the importance of light, was taken by many to mean different times of the day. While the action will take place during both day and night, Takeuchi’s true meaning is far more startling."

"With all this excitement it’s easy to forget the rest of the package. Resident Evil 5 doesn’t just feature a story; there’s the returning Mercenaries minigame and a whole host of other extras that are still safely under wraps. We’ll admit to being just a wee bit concerned when it was revealed Shinji Mikami would not be heading up the production of Resident Evil 5, but in spite of this loss on the development team the game is looking like the ultimate game of the series. 2009 is going to be the year that every Resident Evil fan’s nasty, bloody and terrifying dreams come true."

Wahnsinn. Resi wird so realistischer vom Gameplay her, was ich nur begrüßen kann (aber alten Fans, was ich eigentlich auch bin, vielleicht übel aufstoßen, imo). Hört sich wirklich nach einem weiteren Fortschritt der Serie an und nicht nach einem RE4 extended with Chris Redfield. Schön schön, wenn jetzt noch die Story passt, ja dann wird das wohl mein neues Lieblingsspiel.

Hohe Entwicklungskosten
x
Die Entwicklungskosten von aktuellen Videospielen werden nur selten von Publishern verraten, da diese sich nur ungern in die Karten schauen lassen. Für Capcom trifft dies jedoch nicht zu, denn der CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto hat sich im Rahmen eines Interviews zu den Entwicklungskosten von Resident Evil 5 geäußert. Diese sollen bei rund 12,2 Millionen Euro liegen.

Mit dieser Zahl wird auch deutlich, dass sich Videospiele immer mehr den Film-Budgets annähern. Im Moment scheint Hollywood zwar noch ein paar Schritte voraus zu sein, doch in der Zukunft könnte dies anders aussehen.

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere,hat die Entwicklung von gow2 20 mil. gekostet.Bestimmt kommt bei resi5 noch was dazu 8)

Och, lass mal die Pferde im Stall, die sprechen bloß von größeren Arealen.

Ich weiß nicht: Online Zweispieler, Deckungen und schießen, ausweichen und größere Interaktion habe ich da jetzt herausgelesen...

[Kayano]

Hmmmm
Nennt mich einen Miesepeter, aber ich stehe den heutigen News etwas skeptisch gegenüber. COOP ist zwar immer ne schöne Sache (auch wenn mein Nextgen Konsolen noch nicht on sind) allerdings frage ich mich ob die ständige Präsens einer weiteren Figur dem Horror & Survival Prinzip nicht abträglich ist. Man ist halt nicht mehr alleine, den Gegnerhorden ausgesetzt, sondern meist in Begleitung, was imho ein anderes Feeling generiert. Die nächste Frage ist dann ob deine KI-Begleitung deine Munition mit aufbraucht (und ob du das willst...) oder eventuell gar unendlich davon hat? Und dann das Deckungssystem, was generell eine schöne Komponente in Shooter ist, allerdings macht es eigentlich nur Sinn gegen Fernkämpfer. Gegen meinen normalen Zombie/Parasitenbefallenen Nahkämpfer der auf dich zustürmt ist es irgendwie sinnlos. Und wenn man mal zurückdenkt waren die meisten RE Gegner Nahkampf basiert.

Freuen tun ich mich natürlich immer noch auf das Spiel und ich erwarte es mit Ungeduld und Spannung. Aber den heutigen Ankündigungen stehe ich nicht grundsätzlich positiv gegenüber. Mal sehen was Capcom draus macht.
Und ich will den Trailer sehen verdammt. xD
