Resident Evil 5

[Cat Fight]

How is there not a topic for this already?

In the new famitsu they released some new tidbits of info for RE5:

I managed to purchase the latest famitsu and have a summary of the Resident Evil 5 coverage. The information and scans are below:

* Sheva's last name is Alomar.
* BSAA stands for Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance
* She is from the same organization as Chris, and hails from the West African branch while Chris comes from the North American one. Their logos are vary, with different coloring.
* Chris and Sheva are seen working together in the battlefield, fighting back to back in one image (imageboard) and even jumping into a hole one right after the other.
* Two new monsters are seen. One is the creature alluded to in previous coverage of the game, a bulky creature wearing a dark outfit a little similar to the RE4 merchant's, wielding a giant axe going after Chris and Sheva.
* The other creature wears a cape and a solid mask with red eye covers. It's in another image, driving an unidentified, mysterious (hint: evil looking, not Wesker) Caucasian man in a car.

New scans were also released, check 'em out

You can read about all the info that was released on Wikipedia regarding gameplay, story, and development, as well as E3 coverage (we're expecting some HUGE RE5 stuff at E3 so I'm excited)

The graphics look great, and I'm glad that they stuck to the RE4 gameplay, as it was the best of the series.

RE5 just isn't differentiating itself a great deal from RE4, though. I guess it can't go and be a huge departure, but it just looks...similar. Not bad, just similar.

Oh whoops. :"D

I thought that was only for mercenaries/online. My mistake then.

i hope they release it for wii also, RE4 on wii was awesome.

I'm definitely getting this game cause I love RE4 on my Gamecube. I'm also hoping that it's not only online co-op but local (split-screen) as well.
