Resident Evil 5 - Stunning New Ultra Hi-res Scans From Famitsu

Here are the scans featured in famitsu along with brand new details from the game:

- 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.

Looks about the same as everything else they have been showing. Visuals aren't mind boggling but they are great. RE4 was a blast so lets hope RE5 is as well

Wasn't...really necessary since I have already added them in the image tab above at the time of making this post but I guess it might be easier for others this way. Thanks.

This franchise has come a long way since it first captivated me back in 1996. I'm just hoping it can somehow release this year and not slip into 2009, but if Capcom really needs the extra time to make this game as great as RE4, I'm all for it. IMO, DMC4 was a very nice next-gen game and I'm hoping Capcom can take RE5 one step further.

Anyone else think that the imprisoned monster might be Steve from Code Veronica?

In the PS2 version (that was extended and had all those Wesker scenes) it was said that Wesker recovered Steve's corpse and that he could be brought back to life. Kinda like in the same way that Wesker was brought back to life after the Tyrant gutted him and killed him in RE1.

Just a thought though. I was just thinking about that and figured since Chris is still chasing after Wesker then it's a likely scenario.

It's definitely a possibility for Steve Burnside to make another appearance in RE5. Let's not all forget that Ada Wong was supposedly dead after she fell from the grasp of Leon in RE2, and somehow made her way back in RE4 all super-human like Krauser and Wesker.

Nah, I think Steve is dead, its been a while since I played Code Veronica but I'm sure his death was pretty final.

The thing about Ada is that after she supposedly dies in RE2 towards the end of the game her body is gone before the final battle which previously before that whenever you went back or forth her body was still there.

Its been such a long time since playing both but I think I'm right.

now then, let me first state that I'm greatly looking forward to this game.

BUT

I'm finding myself a little worried, I'm seeing alot of day time and I'm just concerned that it's not going to have half as much night time as the previous titles. I get the feeling it's going to be a little more like the level in RE4 which had the JJ's. I'm only concerned because I don't want this game to turn into a complete thrill fest rather than being incredibly scary and keeping me on edge.

My 2 favourite points in RE4 was the village at night. I should have played that on a potty I was pooin myself so much.

and when we first see the regenerators. I turned it off.

although it scared the hell out of me it's exactly what I wanted and those bits have stayed in my mind throughout.

I'm thinking Clair Redfeild with blond hair something happend to her after Code Veronica and they thought they would give her blond hair or Jill V one of the Two or the little girl from RE2.

I really Like cLair so i hope she is back init.
