Oh Resident Evil, how I’ve missed you. Capcom has released quite a bit of new information on Resident Evil 5. No, it isn’t another controversial trailer, and it isn’t an announcement that the game’s location and enemies will be adjusted to address racial concerns. Instead, it is a press release discussing the challenges Chris Redfield will face in the latest entry in the series and a new .

Once again, Chris isn’t exactly fighting zombies. In Resident Evil 5, Chris is sent to Africa to discover who is behind a bioterrorist attack which has driven the native people and animals insane and turned them into monsters. Players, as Chris, must defend themselves, find out what is going on and try and keep more damage from being done.

It seems from the press release that Capcom is trying to make Resident Evil 5 more challenging. It specifically highlights the fact that enemies will be faster and more intelligent than they were in previous entries. The press release also mentions that quite a bit of the game will take place in daylight and brightly lit areas, and calls attention to new lighing effects that will be used in the game.

Below is the Captivate ‘08 Resident Evil 5 trailer from Capcom.

I kind of miss the classic Resident Evil zombie games. I know Capcom’s trying to keep things new and inventive, but I can see how Africans would be insulted by the recent storylines in Resident Evil 4 and 5. Perhaps Resident Evil 6 should return to the classic, zombie-killing roots.
