There's a rumour going around that a magazine called EGM is having a Resident Evil 5 feature in their next issue, and that some of the information has been leaked onto the net. No one really knows if it's legitimate, real info, but here it is anyway. I copied and pasted the following from the GT forums;
- The story will 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 (we can tell you now it won’t be)
- 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 (bags being Chris!)
- No mirages and heat/cold features in the game.
- Flashbacks are not playable (hence 8 hours of cut-scenes, we guess)
- There are 30 weapons in the game, 20 for Chris and 10 for Sheva (seriously, bags being Chris)
- You can use the chainsaw, once you have acquired it from the final fight with Moreso.
