Earlier today Microsoft confirmed that they will be releasing a limited edition Resident Evil 5 Red Xbox 360 Elite bundle that will ship alongside Capcom’s highly-anticipated Resident Evil 5 on Friday, March 13th. Which is suiting I suppose, seeing as how the game does contain hordes of infected zombies, more uncensored violence and exploding heads than you could shake a chainsaw at. Yeah, I guess that creepy and gross enough to warrant a Friday the 13th launch.

Now here is the kicker: the system which comes bundled with the game (and other goodies) will set prospective buyers back a cool $399.99 (SRP). Now, I’ll pause a moment while all of you Resident Evil fanboys and fangirls check you account balances…

I’ve just gotta put this out there before you proceed to watch this trailer… It’s amazing. It’s epic. It will remove any doubts you had about this game that the playable demo may have placed in your mind. And it’s a tiny bit spoilerific. Press play dammit! Press it NOW!

Let’s get down to business. The female figure in the coat. Who is she? A great deal is pointing towards her being Jill Valentine. But, wasn’t Jill shown to be dead in a previous trailer!? Not necessarily. All we saw was a tombstone. No body. Plus, dead don’t always mean dead in Resident evil. The hooded figure’s voice sounded EXACTLY like Jill’s. And then you have Wesker saying what he said to Chris at the end of the trailer: surely its got to be Jill. There’s every chance that Jill indeed did die. But who is to say Jill’s body wasn’t experimented on, resulting in her resurrection? Or perhaps her T-virus infection during the events of Resident evil 3: Nemesis wasn’t completely vaccinated, there-by bringing her back to life! I’m leaning towards the hooded figure being Miss Valentine. But there’s also every chance it could be Sherry Birkin or Claire. I’m hoping Capcom throw the most gangsta curveball ever regarding the hooded lady’s identity.

Resident evil 5 is already looking like it’ll be one of the most plot driven games in the series since game 2. It could also be the one game to potentially bookend the entire Resident evil saga. But it probably won’t. Capcom will keep spinning this shit off for as long as possible. Day-of-release-purchase most definitely.

This trailer is available on the Xbox live marketplace. So those of you with Xboxes and Live accounts, go download this to watch it in all it’s HD glory…over and over and over until March 13.

Capcom gave Xbox 360 and PS3 owners a pretty nice gift a couple of weeks ago: a playable demo of their forthcoming, behemoth of a game, Resident evil 5. I have to confess that my rose coloured glasses for Resident evil 5 came off quite some time ago when I began to see that nothing about the game looked all that new over 4, aside from the co-op play and graphical step-up. Everything else looked more of the same, right down to the character animations, A.I and sound effects. So is there really anything to get excited about?

In a recent email from Capcom: “It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju. It came from Kijuju.

Something tells me that it must have come from Kijuju. Feel free to check it out. That is of course, if you’re not scared.

Capcom have only gone and revealed ANOTHER trailer for their bad ass forthcoming next-gen survival horror. Resident evil 5 is the game that just keeps on giving…

I have no idea who the Metal Gear Solid Naomi-esque lady is, or the hooded assistant. One thing I did notice though was that the hooded assistant appears to be female. I could be wrong, but I noticed the hooded figure had heels on as they jumped into the boat, had a woman’s chin and mouth when sat in the truck and had a woman’s walk as she left a room with the Naomi-esuqe lady. Could it be Sherry Birkin? The mind boggles. But I get the feeling that the hooded figure is of some importance or relevance. More than the trailer would have us believe.
