- The story will tell who Chris Redfield really is, what he has been doing for the past ten years and the nature of his relationships with the other characters.
- Chris Redfield helped establish the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) after the Raccoon City incident in 1998.
- Much of the story will be told as flashbacks.
- The BSAA has branches all over the world, but the executive decisions – like sending Chris to Africa – are made from the USA.
- Sheva Alomar is part of the West African branch of the BSAA
- Weapons are supplied to Chris and Sheva by Kralin, an ex-BSAA member who is attempting to flee the city with the BirdWoman.
- The guy with the megaphone in the trailer is the richest man in the village and so be default their leader. He is funding the construction seen.
- Wesker will appear about 5% into the game.
- Sherry Birkin will appear in substantially more of the game. - The following characters will not appear in the game: Jill, Barry, Claire, Billy and Leon.
- Chris and Sheva will face many relationship difficulties.
- The game will take 15 hours to finish and will have 8 hours of cut-scenes… hopefully in addition to the 15 hours.
- Capcom want Resident Evil 5 to be the best looking game of 2009.
- There is a big emphasis on puzzles, many of which a co-op based.
- Co-op drop in and drop-out is confirmed.
- There will be one hour of solo Chris gameplay before you meet Sheva.
- No mirages and heat/cold features in the game.
- Flashbacks are not playable.
- There are 30 weapons in the game, 20 for Chris and 10 for Sheva.
- You can use the chainsaw, once you have acquired it from the final fight with Moreso.
Some of this news is good; some of it is VERY bad indeed. For example one part of the article says that most of the game will consist of flashbacks. However another part of the article says the flashbacks will not be playable. I know that MGS4 had a lot of cut scenes but when the article says most of the story will consist of flashbacks it's hard to see if there will be much of a future storyline. I mean I agree; some flashback should consist of just video, however some flashbacks would be awesome to play through, and would add something just that little bit nicer. The fact you can use the chainsaw is just awesome, however I think that this will not make it in the final build, because one build of RE4 for the PS2 did in fact have an unlockable chainsaw weapon, however it was cut due to Leon being a protagonist, and the fact he shouldn't sink to the level of a chainsaw wielding maniac, also the fact that it may have raised the age level to an 18, it certainly would not have made it in the German version of the game.
It is nice to know that (probably after Umbrella went under, Chris started the BSAA, I reckon there will be a tie in with Resident Evil: Degeneration.
It is interesting that the "BirrdWoman" may be an ally, as this guy is supplying you with weapons (aka a new Merchant). We now know what the Merchant System will be. However I still don't know if the "BirdWoman" can be trusted?
"Wesker will appear about 5% into the game." I think the meant 5% in the game, so I guess that means the final 5% of the game, and not 5% into the game. this confirms my assumption that Wesker will yet again be in mini/separate ways type games too, which is predictable. Capcom have a villain that they seem to be recycling more that Bowser and Dr Robotnik.
It's in one way a relief that the previous STARS members will not appear; but I REALLY want Barry to appear GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! However maybe they may have a surprise ending with Barry rescuing your ass?! Please, lets hope so!
There are other positive notes such as more emphasis on Puzzles, many of them being co-op based (online).
However the fact that the game is only 15 hours on your first playthrough is quite sad, it is said there is 8 hours of storyline, however that may or may NOT be included in the 15 hour game time. Last time RE4's first playthrough was around 20+ hours, I appreciate the 8 hours of storyline, but only 15 hours of gameplay?! They better have some damn fine extra modes!
So altogether I've been given a small amount of faith with this game, but I've also seen a lot of negative or predictable things too, which means this game is a one step forward 2 steps back kind of game.
