Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Evil is Resident for the 4th time...(April 10th interview)

ER... 5th time..sorry.
RESIDENT EVIL 5
What we know...(courtesy of IGN)
Produced by series veteran Jun Takeuchi, this next-generation follow-up to the terrifying series introduces the theme of escape as its core survival instinct. As Chris Redfield (former S.T.A.R.S. member and now part of the BSAA unit), your life is in danger as you strive to complete your most dangerous mission yet in a sweltering desert colony where a new breed of evil has been unleashed. Swarms of marauding evil beings will charge at you when your pulse is racing at a heart-shattering pace. Environments will play a bigger factor than ever here, using the power of next-gen systems to create a world where terror might lurk in any alcove or shadow. Powerful lighting effects overwhelm the player with mirage movement and blinding brilliance, and even in the light of day, there is no safe haven in this Resident Evil.
It's been a while, and I was thinking that there had to be some news of ANY kind on this game and where it's at, well there is this interview for those who haven't seen it...
Lighting wows, and moody piano music in abundance.

So lighting will make the game scarier...sounds good to me.
Axe-waving parties galore...you get to break up the festivities with hot lead!
Uh oh, he's got that look in his eye...
Oh shit!
So can we ponder this game together?

I remain optimistic that RE5 will best it.

@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
That probably was it, I dont recall anything in the mainstream media but I can see it happening when it gets more exposure to people other than gamers.
Also, spooky looking blonde at end of the original trailer who may or may not be Sherry.
Welcome to the world on this side.
Time to kick ass and find random girls to play piano for me.
Also, where the hell did Chris get those guns from? Falcon punching his way through the hordes should be awesome.
he was actually quite balanced, his main point was that the image of a white dude going into some shanty town and shooting all the blacks is still an image with a lot of racially charged history and you can'y just wave it away
loads of sites cherry picked his quotes to make him sound like a tool
He's reckless! RECKLESS I TELL YOU!
Oooh children shooting, not since Fallout 2 has my hunger for murdering kids been slaked. It needs a good slaking.
Yes you can when they are zombies.
I read his entire article, in detail, and I got the impression he was one of those people looking for racism when there is none.
Go read Shawn Elliots gfw blog where he explains the situation vastly better than n'gai.
Welcome to the world on this side.
Yeah. I also agree with him a little about Cole. When I first played Gears of War I just couldn't help thinking "Man, this guy practically walked straight out of a blacksploitation flick."
I am not familiar with him, can I get a link?

I might go next-gen just to get this game.

No offense, but... you're in Europe.
This is still a VERY touchy subject in the U.S.
Also, I can see where people would flip out. These folk don't LOOK like zombies, so your knee-jerk reactionary can go "you're shooting up innocent black people derp de derp" and you couldn't immediately call him an idiot without going into game details he would ignore. Whereas rotting flesh is a dead giveaway.
That better not mean what I think it means!

I just feel sometimes racism is propagated by those supposedly being offended in the first place.
The vast majority of people just see 'Chris Redfield shooting zombies'
A minority see 'Chris Redfield shooting black people'
Kinda annoying. the awful homogenization of spanish, mexican and european cultures in Resi 4 is arguably more offensive.
That's largely what I'm expecting to be honest. RE4 had Louis Sera, who was the cool Spanish hero, and showed that not all these guys were out to get you but were just victims of something else. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing here.
I would also like to seem him done as Samuel L Jackson, because Samuel L Jackson is frigging cool. :mrgreen:
But Luis got a tentacle through the abdomen. What sort grisly, predictable death can I expect for my token black buddy?
Hey, I have a blog! (Actually being updated again!)

I can't believe it
SPOOOIIIIILLERRRRSSS
er, I mean
LUUUIIIISSSSSS
or wait, what I meant was
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE
resi 4 is going to be so hard to top. i mean, it just had fuckawesome pouring out of every orifice.
Probably a missed QTE.
And the vast majority of people certainly don't see Chris Redfield either way. Plus, as was mentioned, at first glance these aren't obviously zombies. Of course, an informed viewer might not feel offended. But then, since when are most people informed about anything they think is bad.
"He wasn't a zombie?"
Welcome to the world on this side.
That's part of the reason why I'm sceptical of 5 to be honest. Different lead designer, and IIRC a different crew as well.
I'm really, really hoping it does. It pisses me off that in games like this (and to a much larger extent, GTAIV) you won't see kids or animals running around.

Well, from the gameplay videos they atleast seem to be following the overall RE4 engine. That is a good thing, because I love RE4 but cannot stand the previous REs, whatsoever.
