19) Chris’s default weapon is a pistol, but how satisfying does gunning down a bunch of crazed zombies with a machine-gun look? The trusty shotgun also returns.

20) The sun also affects Chris’s sight. Moving between very dark and very bright places causes temporary visual problems as his eyes adjust to the extreme change in light. Bad news when you’re surrounded by 20 zombies baying like wolves for your blood.

21) The E3 2007 teaser trailer shows Chris wearing a headset and accompanied by a team of ops, which suggests you may get to fight alongside others from time to time, and perhaps even give them direct orders.

22) Capcom has hinted at online content, but hasn’t clarified whether this means multiplayer modes or downloadable content such as new character skins and weapons. As betting men, our money is firmly on the latter.

23) The trailer ends with a fan-baiting glimpse of a young blonde-haired woman opening her eyes underwater. Who could it possibly be, and is she being held in some sort of underwater tank? If she’s a returning character, we reckon it’s a grown-up Sherry Birkin from RE 2 - the then-12 year-old partner of Claire Redfield.

24) The game is expected to be non-linear, which opens up a lot of possibilities about the way crucial story elements are presented, how attacks are triggered, and how easy it is to find somewhere relatively safe to hide.

25) Obviously, it’s going to be fabulously gory.
