Ok, not like you didn't notice, but I feel the need to stress it again -- this game is friggin GORGEOUS. I could hardly believe I was sitting down to five and a half minutes of new footage when I checked out this Tokyo Game Show "alternate trailer". I have to admit I've always preferred my scares in the Silent Hill variety rather than Resident Evil, but this game looks too good to pass up.
There are also a few bosses in this trailer, and as much as I want to go into details about how amazing they are, I don't want to ruin it for you. Just go watch the video, and I'll sit here and look forward to the moment when I'll be clobbered by these magnificent beasts.
Game does not look scary at all. They are focusing on making it look like a Michael Bay movie. Instead of actually making it contain fear and suspense. I know it is only trailers so far but that’s the feel I get from it
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. It's like an Agent killed Neo and stole his trenchcoat. But as I said about the other trailer, I never get tired of Wesker and his Sunglasses Of Badassery. xD
Solid is on the right track. When RE first came out, it was different kind of fear, one of claustrophobia, lack of sight and manipulation of sound. Silent Hill was created in this old RE mold, which is why all the games look the same still. Silent Hill is more scary serious now, but all the games feel like groundhog day, tied to the same setting.
Capcom were wise to reboot the series. RE5 is looking awesome the more I see. It doesn't have to be scary in the original sense of the series.
David Bowie-Wesker: GO! This trailer's incredibleness defies all description, and I've said it before, but the Man in the Plague Mask is fantastic, just like every other new creature and character in this game.
Fueling the "Jill is dead" theory, there's an RE5 trailer on GT about Wesker where he remarks, possibly to Chris, "But now that your 'partner' has arrived, I'll leave you two to 'catch up'." He could be referring to Sheva, but the gravestone tease makes me wonder if Jill is really dead and Wesker brought her back using SCIENCE! Otherwise, can't wait for this game!

WHHHHHY?
There better not be any locks that need mastering in this game.
Hype Rising...
*picks jaw up off floor*
DOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!! Right meow.
RE wasn't so scary to begin with. Silent Hill is worse IMO.
This looks much better as a game, rather than better as a horror-survival game.
Also WHY JILL, WHY?
DO WANT, HARD.
