Mysterious Resident Evil 5 Countdown appears

PSU Writes:

A mysterious countdown has recently surfaced on Resident Evil's official website. Make of it what you will, but we're betting it has something to do with the aforementioned trailer on May 31.

Countdown? It's counting up!?

looks like 21 hours until whatever it is happens...

NoUseMerc6565d ago

ok, its a count up...same thing...lol

Foliage6565d ago

Countdowns are too overused, I'm glad they went with a countup. That is completely original. Way to revolutionize with something different.

Have people seriously run out of ideas in this industry?

Presentist6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

If you haven't realized the count up makes more sense. It's recording a video (look at the screen), so that's the amount of recording time left. It means that something will happen before the tape runs out.

EDIT: It was stopped at 72:00 last time, now it's restarted and is up to 89:00. Weird.

MADGameR6564d ago

I can't wait for this game! Strange that Osmond Sadler will be making his appearance in RE5....O_o Maybe its a clone or something since in RE4, Ada got a sample of the Plagas virus and gave it to Wesker.

It'll reach 72 and then it'll count down from there, to release a new trailer

EDIT: ZOMG DID ANYBODY SEE THAT GUY WALK ACROSS TO THE HUT/SHOP THING AND WALK BACK?! O______________O;

I thought it was a static image!

Nevers6564d ago

EERY but i was expecting something more to happen. Kinda dig that it's a "dropped" camera randomly pointed at an angle. Wonder where they're going with this...

Organic_Chemistry6565d ago

This game better get a 10/10 RE games deserve it, unlike that crap gta4 that just came out

Acidicpack6564d ago

I could not agree more. GTA 4 was the same rehashed crap that we played back on the PS2 and Xbox. Drive here kill this guy then drive back and start over lol sounds like a 10 out of 10 to me. RE5 is going to own but if it drops this year i don't think that it will be given the honor of GOTY that will go to MGS4 i hope.

TrevorPhillips6565d ago

Yea good times i remember playing the old resident evil games woow look how resident evil series have evolved :)

Organic_Chemistry6565d ago

I remember Barry's terrible dialogue "...you were almost a Jill sandwich" lol haha

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker118d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92118d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr117d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992117d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani117d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730117d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave117d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde117d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88117d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb117d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh117d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
