Check out some brief Resident Evil 5 footage

Resident Evil 5 has been off our radars for a while, but some brief gameplay footage has floated our way, courtesy of a Capcom 25th Anniversary DVD packaged with the latest issue of Famitsu. The gameplay is shown amidst shots of character models, and an interview with producer Jun Takeuchi.

What can we glean from this footage? The protagonist Chris Redfield is still seen in the same setting as the last (somewhat controversial) trailer, walking amongst irritable villagers who are still hard to distinguish from the series' trademark zombies. Redfield also has ridiculously huge muscles, making us wonder if we'll get to do a bit more wrassling this time around (probably not, though).

Check out the brief, off-screen footage after the break.

Resident Evil 5

Update: Turns out that Capcom had officially confirmed that the buff protagonist is in fact Chris Redfield, and not merely a Chris Redfield impersonator. Appropriate change made above. Thanks to everyone for the heads up.

Am I the only person who thought Res evil 4 actually controlled better with the GC pad? I dont know why, but there were a lot of little things (like the cursor disappearing to the corner of the screen after you left the equipment screen - usually just as some Ganado was about to smash your face in) that really annoyed me about the wii controls.
Also, so far the footage IS just resi 4 with better graphics - which would be cool if I hadn't already played resi 4 to death (and then some). It is still early days though, and I'm still really excited about this.

That video wasn't really satisfying. Still blasting Las Plagas in RE4 Wii.

I don't remember... did the dead bodies in RE4 dissolve into a bubbling liquid? If not I saw them doing that in this video. Reminds me of the Cleaners, wish they'd use them again.
