Capcom has just released some new screens for the upcoming Resident Evil 5, scheduled for simultaneous release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 13, 2009.
One of features we are most on the lookout for is the 2 player co-op online play. Anyone familiar with the Resident Evil arc knows how difficult the game can be on solo, so we’ll see how the co-op action plays out. Hopefully, there won’t be any frame rate issues or lag when it comes to those Resident Evil horror moments - like when that dog first jumped through the mirror in the freshman Resident Evil release.
Here are a few key features for Resident Evil 5:
- Chris Redfield, protagonist of the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, returns
- Chris is joined by new character Sheva Alomar, an African special agent tasked with investigating the epidemic
- 2 player co-op online gameplay means that players are not alone in their fight against the horror lurking around every corner
- Simultaneous global release date for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 13, 2009
- New enemies bring new challenges: speed and intelligence make adversaries as dangerous singly as they are in groups.
- An arsenal of weapons at the player’s command to keep the evil at bay, including knives, pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and more.
- Lighting effects provide a new level of suspense in both harsh light and deepest shadow
