Taking over producer duties from Hiroyuki Kobayashi is Jun Takeuchi (director of Onimusha, character designer for the original Resident Evil and animator for Resident Evil 2). Several staff members who also worked on the original Resident Evil are involved in development. According to Takeuchi, the game will utilize the same gameplay model introduced in Resident Evil 4, while implementing thematics from the original Resident Evil into the game. The game will be a full-fledged sequel taking place after the events in Resident Evil 4, and is said to be a major turning point in the series' overall storyline.
No official release date has been announced for the game. The game will have online features that have yet to be disclosed.
It is noted that Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 were not shown at E3 2006. Capcom supposedly reasoned that the company doesn't want to unveil the titles until they are available in a playable form. This could mean that it will be sometime before any new information will be released, especially since it was not at the Tokyo Game Show 2006.
-2.Storyline
The alleged protagonist of Resident Evil 5.No details have been released about the game's storyline other than the fact that it is set after the events of Resident Evil 4 and that it will take place in a desert setting, similar to the film Black Hawk Down.
The main character's identity has not been officially released, although an information leak has confirmed that Resident Evil 5 protagonist is going to be Chris Redfield2. Play magazine (An independent magazine based in the UK) said they are 99.9% certain it will turn out to be Chris. The only other name the mag, as well as Gamepro Magazine put forward as a possibility was Carlos Oliveira, since the game is reported to take place in a South American country.
It has been rumored that the game is shaping up to be a true sequel to Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Although with the demise of Flagship's Noboru Sugimura, the team itself will be handling the story. Keiji Inafune, who served as promotional producer for Resident Evil 2 is overseeing the project; he served as the executive producer for the PlayStation 2 version of Resident Evil 4 as well.3
-3.Weapons and gameplay
Although enemies were faster in Resident Evil 4 than in previous Resident Evil games, the Japanese teaser trailer shows enemies that are now even faster and capable of running at least as quickly as a human, à la 28 Days Later making them more deadly enemies.
According to Play magazine, the enemies are shaping up to be a cross between a Ganado and a Zombie. They speak in a unique language to communicate with each other like the Ganados in RE4, but are resistant to gunshots and have a thirst for blood like the zombies in the classic RE games.
Play has also said that according to the producers the temperature will play a big role, with the player having to find a spot to cool down. The heat will make it harder to shoot due to hallucinations and mirages appearing and the main character being unstable. Additionally, the magazine suggests the presence of more interactive environments that are vital to the player's survival

Though a lot of people bitch about a departure from the original resident evil trilogy, this game incorporates a new and fresh twist to the series. The writers leave the concept of the T-virus and the G-virus behind, and instead pursue the story of a religious cult in rural Spain that have resurrected body controlling parasites called Las Plagas.
Leon S. Kennedy, the protagonist of Resident Evil 4, is the main character in this game. As Leon, you will have to navigate through a village, a castle, and an island, all while protecting the president's daughter Ashley Graham (who for some reason cannot hold a damn gun and help you out in the game) and while resisting corruption from one of the parasites that was injected into him in the early part of the story.
The game, is absolutely amazing, and is a must to anyone that owns a Nintendo Gamecube, PS2, or Wii.

Dude 1: man just had a dream about humans that had been mutated into either mindless savages, giants, partially invisible insects, and regenerators that can heal themselves!
Dude 2: thats the epitome of Resident Evil 4 man

another squeal that totally strays from the basic plot....okai, the first re movie sucked arse for it was in the spencer mansion but the spencer mansion was not portrayed as an actual mansion but a lab. the first one had no tyrant and no jill, thus theory of the movie straying from the game franchinse itself.....this sequel ofcoarse has to outdo the first movie bringing in a B.O.W for once...and a B.O.W with a more limited vocabulary than paris hilton and lil jon.....and finally has one of the main characters from the actual franchinse.....it does have characters with the similar last names as the ashfords in code veronica but is nothing like them....carlos olivera looks too rugged to b the carlos from nemesis and im guessing alice is the new alexia ashford.....they are coming out with a next re movie called extinction with clair redfield...but they do no good for this character...she does not have her trademark vest and her trademark look and seems much older than she should.......that is my opinion of this....if u think this movie was better than the game.....GET BENT MORON
some douche:dood, cant wait for the next re movie, i would say resident evil apocalypse better than the nemesis game...alice is the awesomest
me:douche have you even played nemesis? and no, alice is suppose to b a spawn of claire but the actress for claire left so they made alice instead....jill and claire are by far better characters than alice...and they made jill look shitty

I can't believe how shitty this movie is... It totally screws up the story line of the game! If you want to see a good zombie movie go see Dawn of the Dead .
Loser: RE:A was the best zombie movie ever.
Me & other loyal RE fans: Shut the fuck up you damn n00b!!!

In the original Resident Evil Video Game on Playstation, released by Capcom in 1996, the game was so complex and there were so many enemies that the programmers were forced to remove the bodies of the killed enemies as soon as the player opened or closed a door, went up stairs, or somehow entered another scene; causing the old scene to revert to it's original condition and the enemies to re-populate.
The term "Resident Evil Maid" was something my friend and I, and obviously others, came to call this new style of gameplay. previously, the graphics were not as complex, the games took nowhere near that time to complete, and there were no 'transitions' between entering or exiting a room.
The Resident Evil Maid is so fast, that leaving a room and immediately re-entering is will remove the dead enemies in under one second.
The game was so groundbreaking that at the time more development went into this particular game than the console designers had expected. This is often referred to as the first game of its kind, and as such minor sacrifices although necessary, were very, very silly.

A lame attempt of a zombie movie. Poor quality. Only " good " parts were parts with the black dude and boobs. Has nothing to do with the game. A waste of money.
My friend who is a moron: I saw Resident Evil Apocalypse today, and it was awesome.
Me: Get a fucking life...
