So, Chris Redfield has been a major character in the Resident Evil story. He debuted in the first RE, back in 1996, and has made numerous appearances in other RE titles since then; as you know, he is also the main character in Resident Evil 5.
GameTrailers has put together this video showing us how he’s changed over the past 13 years. Watch the video to see how he’s gone from blocky pixels, to the roid raging hunk of a man he is now.
Resident Evil 5 is out in Japan now, and hits shelves in the US and UK this Friday!
Resident Evil 5 looks amazing, and it definitely looks like a worthy addition to the RE storyline. Would I rather have zombies, like there was back in the day? Sure, but this is good…for now.
Capcom has said that the next installment, Resident Evil 6, will be a full reboot of the series, and I’m glad. I’ve played all Resident Evil 1-4, as well as Code Veronica and Zero, and I have to say, even though I loved Resident Evil 4, zombies just make the game feel more intense and scary. Hopefully RE6 will give us a new city, new characters, and a new zombie outbreak.
Capcom has also said that Wii Owners/Resident Evil fans will be “very happy, very soon”. What does this mean? A new Resident Evil game for the Wii? Could the Resident Evil Zero port that is only out in Japan be coming to the US and the rest of the world? They better not get people all hyped up for another Umbrella Chronicles or any “on rails” game.
Check out this new Resident Evil 5 gameplay footage. This is the mini game, “The Mercenaries”. Check out the same mini game being played with Sheva, the new female character, after the break.
This is Part 4 of the Resident Evil Retrospective. It’s not as interesting as the first 3 parts, mainly because it’s all about the portable Resident Evil games that nobody cares about.
Wow. As a Wii and Xbox 360 owner, this video makes me sad. I love my 360, I love my Wii(sometimes), but this is ridiculous.
If you can afford a Wii, you can afford a 360, so go get one. This has to be one of the worst game downgrades ever. Usually ports are an upgrade. Less zombies, no driving, no camera, horrible graphics, and you can’t even cut people in half with a katana! What the hell is up with that? Did they not want to show that on the Wii, or did they just not take the time to make the animations?
So, missing gameplay features, and not so beautiful graphics; I have to recommend that Wii owners only buy this game if you have the money to blow, and you absolutely don’t want to invest in something worth the money…like an Xbox 360.
Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop, for the Wii, is out now. Dead Rising for the Xbox 360 is also out now; it has been for more than 2 years. Dead Rising 2 is coming out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but no release date is set yet. Do yourself a favor, and get the Xbox now, so you can play the REAL Dead Rising, and Dead Rising 2 when it comes out.
The Onion News Network debates on how video games actually help prepare children prepare for the inevitable apocalypse; zombie, cyborg, or nuclear. I have never heard a more true statement:
“Playing video games all day, alone and friendless, is simply the best way we have to prepare our children for a life of solitude in a barren wasteland.”
Here’s a wiki articles on The Onion for those who are not in the know.
deviantART.com artist, Golden-Silver, has given us a detailed illustration of what he has learned from Left 4 Dead, and how it can prepare us all for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
