New Resident Evil 5 info overloads Famitsu

A seven-page blowout of information has graced the pages of Famitsu magazine regarding Resident Evil 5. Some of it is dedicated to what's in the upcoming brand-new trailer (which we won't spoil until everyone can see it!), but a lot of it describes the game itself: the characters, the setting, the enemies, and more. We'll give you a truncated version to read through, but the wordier version is available at 1UP.

Chris Redfield works for an extra-legal organization called BSAA -- he has quite an arsenal thanks to this group. The game will show what weaponry he has strapped onto his back, which might mean we'll have a single-button weapon swap function instead of RE4's giant briefcase. The story is set around "an escape from a predicament". This might be talking escaping from the enemy with your new gal pals -- one young blond girl (believed to be Sherry) and one new, darker-skinned girl.

The enemy is neither zombie nor Ganados, but when they die they gurgle and turn into foam. The enemy now represents multiple races to appease the masses. Also shown in Famitsu was a shot of a "man" in some kind of cell. Apparently, this creature bears a resemblance to Nosferatu from Code: Veronica ... or to Lisa Trevor from the GameCube remake of the original game. We'll find out when the trailer hits, perhaps!
