Here it is, folks: the Resident Evil 5 trailer to end all Resident Evil 5 trailers. For the first time, the game's story is really hit hard, which means there are sizable spoilers involved. In fact, the video is almost like a mini plot summary, as narrated by the always badass Albert Wesker.
If you don't mind seeing a few of RE5's later areas, a couple of bosses, and some characters that haven't been shown heavily until now, I strongly advise you to hit the jump for the trailer. It'll do wonders for your proverbial excitement meter, trust me.
Capcom also sent over a few enemy renders, as seen in the gallery below. Again, shield those eyes of yours if you want Resident Evil 5 to be a complete surprise come March 13.

When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Yeah, this trailer really makes me want RE5. But I don't want to deal with a brain dead partner and I doubt I'll find a friend who will be playing it... so I'll have to skip this.
WOW. I wasn't really sure if I was going to get it before because I've never played any of the other previous games, but this trailer plus the demo from a few weeks ago sold me. I'll definitely be picking it up when it releases.
Wow, I already have this thing paid for, so it's not helping to "sell me" on the game. If anything, it's going to make the wait for its release much less bearable. Also, do we know who's doing the soundtrack? The music sounds very John Williams to me.
I cant get over how much that one guy looks like Steve Bushemi! Does anyone else see it???? Anyways, yeah I saw this trailer a couple weeks ago, it is great. I was sold on this game before this trailer and before the demo even hit, I'm getting this game. Its gonna be fantastic!
OHSHIT! Haven't been terribly hyped for RE5 until this trailer. I really wonder if that hooded person at the very end is Jill Valentine...just a hunch because she's supposedly 'dead'.
"They act like the ganados detailed in the Kennedy report..."
Oh come on now, what a throwaway line. Were they even ever referred to ganados in-game to Leon's face? Whatever. I'll still probably buy this game but god damn is Redfield just a paper cutout of a character.
as great as the trailer is, the demo completely turned me off from it. I'm prob gonna wait till it drops in price to 40 or 30 bucks before picking it up
Oh and I was planning on getting SO: TLH instead of RE 5, but these stupid epic trailers, and motion capture interviews are making me rethink my decision.
Those bresticles on the computerized chick are magnificent >dodging the wife's slaps<.
I've been playing the demo a lot, I look forward to this game... Even though the bodies disappear.. And dammit, why can't our characters move while lining up their shots..? humph
yeah.. I think the hooded person is Jill as well..
Time to start waiting for a sale/used price.
That was a very accurate headline, because I don't think anything will anymore. It's weird how big the difference in enthusiasm I had for RE4 and RE5 is. I don't think I've ever gone from being completely in love with a series to absolutely indifferent to it over the course of 1 sequel.
Yeah, I think its Jill under that cloak, and if not the only other possibilities is Rebecca or Sherry Birkin.
You people dodging this game because of a demo are bat shit crazy, but each to their own. Do you really think the finished thing won't have changes? And how many games have had a bad demo, yet a great game later?
Anyway, I'll be buying a copy, as I want an update on Umbrella's shady goings on. The story is why I buy these games, no matter how b-movie it might be at times. Great trailer.
One more thing. There's always the possibility for DLC for RE5 much later to make things interesting. Should be interesting to see what Capcom come up with.
I still say that I'd buy a Wii version of this game before the PS3 or 360 versions, just for the controls. The controls in 4 were the best in any game ever made.
Well it has to be Jill or Claire, as they are the only RE females that Chris has a signigicant relationship with.
Obviously it's Jill, with the whole dead thing. Or is it? Maybe Capcom knows it's so obvious who the hooded figure is, that they make it someone else just to fuck with us! :P
I still don't get the hate towards this game. It's marginally evolved version of RE4, and RE4 is one of the best games ever. How does that make RE5 crap? Smells like people being brainwashed by the internets to me.

Ada has nothing to do with Chris. I'm putting my money on Sherry Birkin, considering she WAS Wesker's prisoner (as stated by Wesker's Report). So my guess is he brainwashed her, then jacked her up on some serious shit.
Bird-girl is totally Jill. There's a tombstone of her in other promo materials, it's a classic [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun]Chekhov's Gun[url] scenario.
Just a random comment: One of the Sub-bosses is Rat-trap? (well his voice)
Although, I was at the edge of my seat at the very end of the trailer. Looks like I'm going to have to get a PS3.

But no amount of slick footage will sell me onthis game
Rebecca Chambers."
if you actually spoiled the game, then you're a D-bag
Also I will be pissed if Wesker hulks out to be some kind of monster at the end of the game.

That hooded bitch is probably Jill.

What other female character would he expect Chris to be "happy to see"?
Also, this trailer made me even more excited for the game. There was no chance of me not picking it up, but this is just a little extra.
I'll wait for the Wii port.
;)
Remember the gravestone taht had her name on it? Yeah, an obvious ploy to fake her death by Wesker all the while injecting her with the virus. GG.
But i'll definitely buy it for ps3 :D
looks awesome otherwise :D

Awesome trailer, will wait for reviews, really hated the controls in the demo.
LOL.

that's all I'm seeing here in this thread

Nah, Capcom's not that smart. It's Jill.
And the hooded helgast chick is Ada.
