Resident Evil 5

Description

Resident Evil 5 comes to us as the 6th main installment of the terrifying Resident Evil series. The S.T.A.R.S organisation has long been at rest, yet the menace that is bioterrorism still exists unknown to the world. Resident Evil 5 sees one of the well known heroes of the Resident Evil series, Chris Redfield return as part of a new organisation, the B.S.A.A. Chris heads to Africa to investigate the latest biohazard outbreak, there, he walks back into his very worst nightmare where mindless, maddened creatures lurk around every corner. Chris must fight to survive alongside his mysterious counter-part Sheva, whilst, it is rumoured, protecting Sherry Birkin, the daughter of William Birkin, a deceased Umbrella scientist who developed the G-Virus. At E3 of 2008, Takeuchi announced that the title would be released in Japan on March 12, 2009 and in North America and Europe on March 13, 2009 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles.

Plot

Producer Jan Takeuchi has not released many details on the plotline of RE5, aside from stating the game will have a similar setting to the Black Hawk Down movie, and it will continue from where Resident Evil 4 left off. The game will revolve around Chris' life during the ten years between RE4 and RE5.

Resident Evil 5 has been confirmed to be set in Africa, in an unnamed country located near a set of active volcanoes around the countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia, as well as Kenya. The volcanic activity could possibly release a dormant virus into the open.

Gameplay

In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will teach players to fear the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games. New technology developed solely for Resident Evil 5 will make this game the most dynamic and detailed games of the series. Gameplay will be similar to that of Resident Evil 4, but of a much higher standard.
