Ugo.com's Resident Evil 5 interview |
Thu 3 Jul 2008, 10:55 AM by A-J |
Among other things, quick time events during cut scenes return.
Q: When you’re bringing a game to the next generation of consoles what sort of changes to the game itself are you making to take advantage of the hardware?
A: The next-gen consoles allow you to do a lot of things with polygons and things like that, but one of the things that the next-gen consoles have allowed us to do that we haven’t done before is in creating bright, outdoor environments. So now we can use all kinds of different filters and improved lighting systems and make those environments much more realistic. |

Resident Evil 5's Score, Bio 0 Wii marketing |
The website Scoring Sessions has some pictures from the scoring session for Resident Evil 5. They reveal some information on the games soundtrack:
| ...while there are only about 15-minutes of orchestral underscore in the game (a lot of synth will flesh out the rest of the music), the action sequences were performed by an enormous 103-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony. |
|
At a seperate percussion session, there were traditional African instruments, which were played for the games title screen. See more at the Scoring Sessions website Thanks to Archelon!
Finally, its worth pointing out that Capcom is heavily advertising Biohazard 0 Wii Edition in Japan. While the game doesn't appear to have anything new, its still getting a big push from Capcom. Our good friend cvxfreak snapped a photo for us of a kiosk which has a rolling demo of the game along with some preorder slips.

Hi everyone, I come to you today asking for a favor.
Alzaire and I are working on the 1.5 section for THIA (it will be the first section we put up). But we've come to a point where we can't really continue and make the best possible source of information without some help from you guys. Right now we're at the point where we're trying to map out the sections of the game and peice them together. So its vital that we have as much information as possible about every room, be it enemies, switches, computers, etc.
We've already received a ton of help from Wesker at Survivhor, Inflames from Bioflames and even help from Black Crow. But just to be sure, I wanted to touch base with the community to see if you guys could also lend your help for the section. What I'm asking you for is any screenshots, scans, videos, etc of 1.5.
Pretty much everything else is fair game. I don't mind if they are from another site, any material sent in won't be used on THIA but only for research purposes for when we create the map layouts. I think its about time we have a source of information for 1.5 which takes in mind some of the more recent discoveries and a lot of the infomation which can only be found in forum posts. Anyone who sends in material that is helpful will be listed in the credits section 
So if you think you can help, please let me know and I'll arrange some method for you to send us the files.
With that said, there is some stuff we don't require. They are:
-Backgrounds ripped from the Trial Editions (We've got these already done and sorted) |

Wesker in RE5, Pachislot game gets a soundtrack? |
|
We have a bundle of news that appeared since my absence, so lets get down to it.
Monique, webmaster of Face Your Fear of Resident Evil, managed to get in touch with D.C. Douglas, the man who voiced Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles. He confirms that he is playing Wesker in Resident Evil 5 and goes on to reveal some interesting information about his work:
| ..this newest RE installment has additional requirements that were quite a challenge and alter the voice some - but I'm not at liberty to say what they are...Just that it's VERY cool. |
|
His comments make it seem like Wesker will transform somehow which required him to alter his voice. Corrin suggested that maybe there are flashbacks showing a much younger Wesker. Great work Monique!
The Pachislot machine website has been updated with character profiles.

In other Pachislot news, it appears that there will be a soundtrack for the game. Play Asia has a preorder up for it now.

Capcom promising a "big RE5 reveal" at E3 |
Thu 19 Jun 2008, 2:37 AM by A-J |
With the rumors surrounding a possible time exclusivity for the xbox 360 thanks to a major money hat from Microsoft, this could be something interesting.
Speaking to VG247 this morning, a rep from Capcom stated:
| “The next western world [media] drop will be to coincide with E3. We’ve got our press conference. At CAPTIVATE08 we told everyone that we would have some big things to reveal at E3. It’s our main game there.” |

Richard Waugh not voicing Wesker in RE5 |
Tue 17 Jun 2008, 7:56 PM by Borman |
It seems Capcom has changed their stance on hiring voice talent. They will now only hire non-union actors for their games. Unfortunately, this means we will no longer have Richard Waugh's voice for Wesker, but rather his replacement who was the actor for Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles.
"It's weird because I did the voice recordings for Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles. However Capcom has decided that they want to hire non-union actors in California instead, so my voice was replaced," explained Waugh in an interview. "Which became sort of funny when I heard that the replacement tried sounding like me."
...
If you feel more strongly than I do, however, Waugh apparently encourages fans to let Capcom know. |
