I played this on the show floor, and man, it felt just like Resident Evil 4 with much shinier graphics. Then I played it two-player co-op. The rule is that everything is better with a friend, and shinier Resident Evil 4 with a friend is better than probably anything released since, uhh, Resident Evil 4. If the trailer is any indication, the story will be trashy nonsense, and I certainly won't care about any of the characters or be surprised by any plot developments. Also, the voice-acting sounds completely awful, with weird over-accentuations and stilted delivery. If this is a "throwback" to the way games "used to be", I can only sigh. If it's unintentional, I cannot apologize: with all the money they're spending on the graphics, you figure they'd budget more than $5,000 total for voice acting and script writing. If the dialogue were just a tiny bit snappier . . . ahh, I won't even bother. It's trying to be a big dumb B-movie of a game, and it's succeeding, which I suppose is a lot more applaudable than trying to be literature and ending up Metal Gear Solid 4.

Hardly the biggest shock in the world that RE5's stolen the show really. If that's what next year has to offer though, seems like a pretty slow year!

Famitsu have a video of "Biohazard 5 Special Stage" at TGS, which was when the offline co-op split screen mode was first shown. It shows a brief few secs of the background filming for the motion capture, as well as the videos demonstrating the split screen mode, and a portion of Sheva sniping the tribemen video we have seen earlier on. Nothing major

I didn't get anything from that video. But we're able to be Chris Redfield in the PS Home?

Just wait for the 5334513656 Chris Redfield's online.

[Mr_Zombie]

To be honest, that "Chris" character doesn't even look that good. I'm sure that fans would be albe to do Sims that would look more like RE5 Chris :/.

[Stu]

Yeah it looks so unlike Chris i'm assuming it's not meant to be Chris and it's just the clothes that people should focus on.

It must've been a slow news day for 1Up, because they've posted a video showing the "evolution" of the enemies in the RE series with each subsequent game. It's not really news-worthy, I guess, but it's a nice trip down memory lane.

Here's a brief interview with Karen Dyer, the voice/motion capture actress for Sheva:

Also, Gamekyo has posted their own footage of the TGS demo:
