TGS 08: Watch these Resident Evil 5 trailers

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Oct 12th 2008 at 3:00PM }

We're honestly starting to feel like Resident Evil 5 is this year's Metal Gear Solid 4. The game constantly generated enormous lines at the Tokyo Game Show, not only due to its playable demo but its multiple, action-packed trailers. Though not devoid of exciting gameplay footage, the content was clearly centered on the game's plot and remarkably high production values.

If you're not afraid of M-rated mutilation and potentially gigantic spoilers, be sure to check out the special TGS trailers we've placed after the break. Especially the second one.

Absolute awesomeness.

xFenixKnightx @ Oct 13th 2008 8:40AM

Agreed. It looks to be the best RE ever. After watching that second vid all I can say is...EPIC!

ZaxCG2 @ Oct 13th 2008 11:24AM

If anyone else got goosebumps from this, reply to this comment. O_O

SexyKittyKat2U @ Oct 12th 2008 3:06PM

That's Hot!

Ranus Studios @ Oct 12th 2008 3:23PM

Goodness that's a pretty game.

B3astofthe3ast @ Oct 12th 2008 3:25PM

Game of the century confirmed

Nathan @ Oct 12th 2008 3:26PM

OK I'm officially excited for this game.

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 12th 2008 3:57PM

I second that. The story alone is looking pretty damn awesome. The gameplay is just the rotten-apple icing on the deliciously-undead cake.

Huey2k2 @ Oct 12th 2008 3:30PM

This is gonna be epic.

Chase @ Oct 12th 2008 3:35PM

The difference between RE5 and MGS4 is that RE5 won't suck.

SexyKittyKat2U @ Oct 12th 2008 3:36PM

True but an even more important difference is that the gameplay for this game will make all the cinematics worth the wait.

Lord I had chills just watching the first one. Reminds of RE4 all over again.

I love Capcom.

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 12th 2008 4:15PM

Just because MGS4 wasn't AMAZING doesn't mean it wasn't a good game. I wasn't totally blown away by it but it had some great parts to it and an unforgettable story so I enjoyed it for that.

Megadanxzero @ Oct 12th 2008 5:03PM

I thought MGS4 was a pretty good movie personally...

Oh wait... It was a GAME? O_o

elmersglue @ Oct 12th 2008 3:35PM

that looked amazing.... its not even worth trying to explain myself...it just did.

Poisoned Al @ Oct 12th 2008 3:36PM

Looks cool, but I'm too bitter and cynical to pass any judgment until I see some game play.

Yourself @ Oct 12th 2008 3:44PM

And also too bitter and cynical to use YouTube? There're plenty of gameplay vids out there, it looks just about identical to RE4.

And not judging a game until you've played is hardly bitter cynicism. It's more like "reasonable intelligence."

Poisoned Al @ Oct 12th 2008 7:14PM

No, as in pad in hand see it, fuck hole.

Captain Blaggers @ Oct 13th 2008 12:07PM

Well then say 'until I play the game', not 'until I see some gameplay', idiot.

WRE @ Oct 12th 2008 3:37PM

Holy shit! I'm so excited that I just peed someone else's pants!

Shmil @ Oct 12th 2008 3:40PM

Hey! Those were my pants!

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 12th 2008 4:08PM

Are you sure? Because my pants are wet also.

Chase @ Oct 12th 2008 4:15PM

Nah, that was me, Hashbrown Hunter.

WRE @ Oct 12th 2008 5:44PM

Fine, so I peed a lot of people's pants. It's not something that I'm proud of, let's just move on. Okay?

aristokrat @ Oct 12th 2008 10:45PM

Hey Franklin, you peed Gob's pants too!

Ihavepants @ Oct 13th 2008 5:45AM

Alright, why are my pants wet.

Yourself @ Oct 12th 2008 3:39PM

Man the characters in this game are lame. "Is it all worth fighting for?" I don't know, but it's fucking zombies, so there's not much choice, is there? RE is always so terribly melodramatic. It worked in RE4 because it was really sparse and usually just funny, but this looks like it's trying way too hard to be epic.

Nice to finally see some bosses, though. They're really where the art design gets a chance to shine, and they look pretty good this time around. Cannot wait for this game.

ryan @ Oct 13th 2008 11:32AM

at least it lacks Jill Sandwiches.

Zachary Hinchliffe @ Oct 12th 2008 3:39PM

RE4 being my second favorite game ever, I'm ultra excited for this one.

Erik Stroud @ Oct 12th 2008 4:27PM

Me too. The wait keeps feeling longer and longer with each trailer.

Jacksons @ Oct 12th 2008 3:44PM

Looks like it'll be worth the wait. Awesome!

Arturo @ Oct 12th 2008 3:45PM

Wesker is so badass. I hope they use his Mercs Mode song from RE4 somehow.

tehsage @ Oct 12th 2008 3:59PM

I miss the old Resident Evil gameplay...

Jerkward @ Oct 12th 2008 4:39PM

Just play with your controller upside down.
It'll be at least 75% similar to an old style RE that way!

tehsage @ Oct 12th 2008 4:44PM

I'm referring to when Resident Evil was actually scary.

Megadanxzero @ Oct 12th 2008 5:04PM

Yeah, the control scheme was pretty scary... Gave me chills just thinking about how evil the designers must have been to force you to play like that...

tehsage @ Oct 12th 2008 5:14PM

>>; You're missing the point here. I first played RE4 on the Wii and I loved it so I picked up REmake. I played that and realized how it was so much better than RE4 because it was scarier and it /was/ a survival horror. Not an action horror.

Anticrawl @ Oct 12th 2008 4:06PM

Wooo RE4 with black people, shinier graphics and zero typewriters. Can't wait for this ACTION horror game.

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 12th 2008 4:10PM

Someone thinks it's opposite day.....

Chase @ Oct 12th 2008 4:18PM

"Wooo RE4 with black people"

*waits for hypersensitive "activists" to boycott Anticrawl*

Anticrawl @ Oct 12th 2008 4:54PM

I can't wait either Chase, because as you know anyone who uses the word "black" is racist. Anyway seriously I'm looking forward to this game a great deal, even if it isn't Resident Evil anymore.

Superstar90 @ Oct 12th 2008 5:21PM

What does the addition of black people have to do with it being an ACTION horror game instead of a survival horror game?

Anticrawl @ Oct 12th 2008 5:30PM

Hahahaha, it has nothing to do with it being an ACTION horror game. But the change in gameplay does and the lack of a typewriter and ribbons.

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 12th 2008 4:13PM

This is sort of ripping off an idea for a story I had, but I'm willing to forgive it just because of two reasons:

1.) There's no such thing as an original idea in writing anymore (not really).
2.) RE5 is gonna be uber-awesome.

WRE @ Oct 12th 2008 5:53PM

Yeah, fuck Capcom for blatantly stealing you idea! I'm gonna boycott it to teach those bastards a lesson!

*watches trailers again*

Hey, do you think they knew that you wrote a story? Well sure, I mean, I believe you and all. No, you're right, they're jerks.

*watches trailers again*

So, can I at least read the original story? No?

*watches trailer again*

Fuck you, Hashbrown Hunter!

*Throws a lamp at Hashbrown Hunter and runs to preorder RE5 at several secure locations.*
