Resident Evil 5 is the next addition to the Resident Evil series. The game will be a sequel to the main Resident Evil story, rather than a sequel to the Resident Evil 4 side-story. Resident Evil 5 continues the use of Resident Evil 4�s faster game play in open areas. Enemies will run quickly, as opposed to the slow, stumbling zombies in the early games of the series. The enemies appear to be a cross between the Ganados, parasite controlled humans that will talk to each other featured in Resident Evil 4, and zombies, blood-thirsty but dumb undead featured in the earlier series.

The game�s setting is a hot, desert region. Heat will play a role in your ability to shoot accurately so you will have to find shade. The game should offer more interactive use of the environment.

Resident Evil 5 is expected for worldwide release in 2008.

IGN Review 9.0/10

IGN - March 6, 2009


Submitted by Joe80 (3) at 4:58PM PST on March 6, 2009


"Capcom has broken away from many survival horror conventions it pioneered. The creepy suspense of earlier games has been replaced with action-packed intensity that will instantly appeal to some & disappoint others. As an action game, RE5 is a success, there’s a wealth of replayability through item collection, upgrades, score chasing & unlockable Mercenaries mode. But this is no gentle nudge to the formula of previous RE games; it’s an evolution. If you can accept that, you just might love RE5."

Submitted by oznerol (66) at 7:31AM PST on July 21, 2008


TalkPlayStation.com writes:"From what we've seen in the trailers and videos from E3, you can't shoot while running in Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 has this same problem and quite a lot of people complained about it. The stop and shoot mechanic is back. We contacted Capcom regarding this issue and they sent a quick response back"
