New Resident Evil 5 Developer Interview

[A-J]

PS3news have a new interview with Capcom's Ben LeRougtel. In it he talks about several things including how to give commands to the AI partner if you're playing alone and the tension aspect of the game.

One interesting point is the inclusion of "Classic Resident Evil enemies" that have yet to be officially unveiled. This probably means the Hunters which have appeared in all of Chris's Resident Evil titles and probably some more returning monsters.

There are plenty of those classic Resident Evil enemies that you’d expect to see in a Resi game, but we haven’t unveiled any of those just yet.

He also mentions that they're planning some more reveals for the game, but there probably isn't anything big left that's yet to be shown except the bosses which they will keep under wraps.

I'm not sure... I really hope Hunters and Lickers make a comeback,... but with those weird monsters all around the game.. it is tough to think about it. Maybe there's a lab during the game..?

[Petronio]

How can hunters be killde using RE5 controls? They are fast, lethal and they jump.
if there are more than one or two Chris will die for sure. It's not possible to aim at a hunter during an attack.
All RE4 enemies were slow and, very often, they stopped just in front of Leon before attacking him.

Lickers are more likely from this point of view.

For Jill Lover: we saw a lot of capsules in TGS trailer. Maybe they doesnt' contain Jill or the tubegirl, but some BOWs.

Im hopeing they will bring back a Tyrant or evan a Nemesis in this one I hope they bring one of thoses two Im mainly hopeing it will be Nemesis back there's was 4 Nemesis created 1 was kill trying to eascape the second meet it fate at the hand off Jill and that leves the other two so there a change we might see another Nemesis in his one I hope so Wesker might set one of on Chris and Sheva that would be awsome but never hope too much.

[IGUANO]

Hunters + RE4 gameplay, on RE5 = "what the f*ck? I didn't expect that!" LOL if this is the case i can only hope Capcom doesn't mess up my dear hunters! As they did with the dogs on RE UC, and come to think of it, partially with hunters too...

[GuardhouseMusic]

I really dig the prospect of hunters in RE5 (even though I won't get to play the damn game), it'll turn the game into less of a run and gun if that's the case. You'd have to use your eyes and ears much more, if you burst into a room with a hunter unprepared then you would pay the price. Plus I think they should remove yellow herbs and secondary healing items (eggs, etc). "Infinite" ammo won't always help you if you're about to be torn apart by a skinned gorilla with little health and no healing items.

[Mr_Zombie]

Zombies... please make zombies to return...
Majini zombies - now that would be cool enemy ;P

[Jill Lover]

Maybe they didn't reject the idea of faster zombie after all...

[Stars1356]

Most people think it will be Hunters because Wesker used them against Chris in CV but I was thinking it might be a boss like the Tyrant.

[A-J]

he said enemies, so everyone might get their wish.

[Handsome Rob]

Sad thing about this interview is that there won't be much more news about RE5.
So we will have to wait and see it in our consoles. Ouch, I don't have one yet so I will have to buy a PS3 before RE5 Release

[Neptune]

I theorise that Spencer will have a couple of Tyrant bodyguards like Sergei did, and I think Hunters will work very well with the over-the-shoulder viewpoint

[Scott Green]

Maybe they didn't reject the idea of faster zombie after all...

you mean crimson heads

[Nomad9026]

Hunters, bring the hunters back! It would be cool to see them again,and a tyrant maybe (the T-102 like model would be great) And I guess that there were fast zombies in the early version of the game.

[Neptune]

Theres been so many hunter varients over the years do we need more? I still want them in mind, just a bit weary of where their development may lead.

we've had:

121 Alpha,
121 Beta
124 gamma
125 R (and mu)
Hunter II
Sweeper
Glimmer
Hunter Elite
Hunter Delta
