Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi has divulged the first plot details for the next Africa-set survival horror instalment.
Speaking to Game Videos, Takeuchi revealed that after choosing to focus the fifth game's story on the origins of the Progenitor Virus, he had "no choice but to set it in Africa".
"The main reason that we chose Africa as the setting for Resident Evil 5 is actually from a clue that came up in Resident ...

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi says Capcom has made no concessions to the original vision of his game, despite accusations of racism.
When the trailer for RE5 debuted last year, numerous onlookers took offense to its depiction of race. Set in Africa, the spot showed the white Chris Redfield blowing away black villagers, who (presumeably) had been infected with a zombifying virus of some sort.
Criticisms of the trailer's ...

Kotaku writes: "When Capcom first showed Resident Evil 5 at E3 2007, there was a collective sense that what we'd just seen was going to stir the pot, as a big brawny white guy had just done his share of laying waste to an angry mob of Africans. Sure enough, Capcom of Japan received more than its share of criticism from those inside and outside of the gaming press. The first to lobby a notable complaint was blog Black Looks, writing that RE5 was "problematic on so many levels, including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages."
Newsweek's general editor of tech N'Gai Croal later levied a similar but more measured assessment, saying that much of what was shown in the initial trailer "dovetailed with classic racist imagery," leaving him with the impression that "Clearly no one black worked on this game.""

Eurogamer writes: "Jun Takeuchi has said that the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller wasn't a viable option for aiming in Resident Evil 5.
Responding to an inquiry from a European journalist, who raised the prospect of a PS3 control system similar to Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Takeuchi said Sony's much-maligned motion-sensing controller "was not quite sensitive enough for that".
Takeuchi expressed his fondness for the PS3, though, calling it "a great system". "We're really pleased with it, and certainly as with other developers we did have problems getting to grips with it at first, but now understanding how it works it allows us to do a lot of things we couldn't do before," he said through a translator at Capcom's Captivate 08 event in Las Vegas."

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi has said that Capcom expects the final play time to clock in at around twenty hours.
"Right now, in the development process we're about 60 percent of the way through," Takeuchi said to Joystiq. "We're figuring that the total play time in the game will be over 20 hours."
Capcom has recently unveiled a bucket load of blood-soaked screens for Resident Evil 5 to go along with ...

After a gruelling ten-month wait, Capcom finally lifted the curtain on its latest Resident Evil 5 trailer this weekend, showcasing yet more of highly anticipated Survival Horror title, and offering us a better glimpse at Chris Redfield's latest mission as he went toe-to-toe with dozens of infected villagers, canines and chainsaw-wielding psychopaths in a remote, dilapidated African village.
Given how there is so much more to go on this time around, PSU thought they'd take the time to dissect this latest portion of Resi action and take a look at some of the more conspicuous elements contained within.

Destructoid writes: "As is typical with games of its caliber, there is much about Resident Evil 5 that is shrouded in mysteries and questions. At Capcom's Las Vegas media event, CAPTIVATE 08, co-producers Jun Takeuchi and Masachicka Kawata aren't exactly forthcoming with the answers you might have wanted. Speaking via a translator to a room full of weary gaming journalists (tired from a long night of drinking and Rock Band, of all things), the Japanese-speaking Takeuchi present to us most of the things we already knew.
Resident Evil 5 sees the return of series-regular Chris Redfield, who has joined a new organization and is sent on assignment to Africa, where a virus is transforming its people and animals into mindless, blood-thirsty creatures. Takeuchi introduces us to the trailer you've no doubt already seen by now, dimming the lights and politely asking us to resist our own animal urges to take notes. Not surprisingly, the trailer reinforces much of what we already knew, and manages introduces a new unknown -- a mysterious female that appears to fight side-by-side with Chris. But Takeuchi's lips are sealed."

Capcom has released its longest, most revealing trailer of Resident Evil 5 yet, and as you'd expect it's shockingly good.
First and foremost, the two minute-plus video unveils Chris Redfield's new partner, who in complete non-tradition with the series, is a fit bird. He makes reference to Jill as well, who we reckon will probably turn up at some point.
What's more tantalising than the appearance of the sidekick is the video's ...
