Resident Evil 5 - Five Times as Awesome?

The Power | April 17, 2008 | Previews | XBOX 360 
So, here is from what I have seen, the first preview of Resident Evil 5. I think it looks like a great game, I have uploaded some screenshots for you, there is a few more on the source, and there is some real in depth reading for you guys, I think I will be getting the game.
Zombies. They are awesome, there’s no denying it. In video games we’ve shot them, maimed them, decapitated them and performed all manner of other gruesome acts – yet it never gets old. One series that does zombies better than anyone else is, of course, Resident Evil (also known as Biohazard). In typical Japanese fashion, Capcom’s zombie-themed IP has developed a rather convoluted and, some would say, overblown web of interrelated character stories, all of which revolve around the fact that the Umbrella Corporation are just a little bit nasty. They did – amongst many other nefarious deeds – turn a whole town into zombies using the dastardly T-Virus after all.

Gamers have been in it up to their elbows with this violent and visceral series from day one. From the struggle to escape an abandoned mansion in the first game, to a battle that spilled out into the ravaged streets of Raccoon City in the second, to the introduction of partner play and co-operative puzzles in Resident Evil 0, and then the most recent ‘proper’ iteration, taking on the plague-infected Spanish denizens of Resident Evil 4.

    Well i've been followed this game for a while, from what i've seen it looks awesome. Pity they can't go back to the classics, they killed in saying Umbrella was finished, somehow they need to revive it. The change is ok but the classics were better.

    I don't know what this preview is about...all it's been doing is a recap on everything that's been covered at least 50 times already.
