GamePro Germany Resident Evil 5 Video Review

[A-J]

GamePro Germany was one of the first sources to review Resident Evil 5 on print, and now they're the first source to put up a video review as well. The review is entirely in German, but the gameplay clips playing in the background have English stuff. It contains a lot of good gameplay footage. Click here to watch it.

It seems that Chris is taking cover at certain points of the game.

[A-J]

yeah, the taking cover at contextual prompts was in some scans and stuff before too..

so who's up for adding english subtitles on this baby ? :p

[ElusionM]

Yeah, the Cover system is confirmed like it wasleaked in that one article(GamePro IIRC-but quickly taken down) last year.
And sorry, not German, lol.

I think it looks fanastic! the graphics are gorgeous.

It wasn't confirmed so much as it was assumed and printed as confirmed. The article to which you are referring said the entire game would have a cover system ala Gears of War, not just certain parts of the game.

[ElusionM]

For all we know; the cover can be throughout the whole game. I hope you didn't base that conclusion off the demo or the fact we havent seen it being used in trailers or gameplay footages.

I based it off the fact that many other things in that article were outright incorrect, and the fact that some previews have mentioned a situational cover system that's only available in certain areas, most notably when Majini are using gatling guns.

[GuardhouseMusic]

Man, those centipede plaga-like things creep me the fuck out. Then again, I've said before that leechy, insectoid, and parasitic things make me squirmy.

Needless to say I was more spooked by RE4 than some.

[wizard]

Wow
This only made me want the game more!

Question though, does anyone know if Chris takes cover upon your command anywhere (like gears of war) Or is it only certain points of the game, so you can sniper?

[Gideon Quinn]

It's probably contextual, since you can't do it in the demo it will probably only be at certain places. You could do it in RE4 too a couple of times.

But yeah, that looks awesome. The motorcycle bit is gonna be fun and intense as hell.

[Executioneer]

I can guarantee you there is no such thing as a cover system outside a few rare instances throught the whole game.

[wizard]

Okay, Good I prefer it the way Re4 was Thanks for the replys guys, I appreciate it!

[ElusionM]

Again, I am not confirming anything; but saying cover feature is limited to only rare instances is outright just as bad.

@Archelon: The article had very valid points. It was the one to first leak/confirm co-op in story, and guess what? It's confirmed. Along with other things, such as the dark caves gameplay mechanism IIRC.

It also said the game would have a God Hand-style dodge mechanic, which it doesn't, and Jun Takeuchi himself even came out and said it was never something they even considered.

People saw Chris and Sheva together in the same trailer and automatically assumed there would be online co-op. We see Chris dodging attacks in the first trailer, and several people figured the game would use a God Hand-style dodge mechanic to make up for the inability to move and shoot at the same time. People assumed Wesker would be in it, because Chris was in it, and so the article "confirmed" that Wesker was in it. The same goes for Sherry Birkin.

The fact that some of these things turned out to be true is nothing more than coincidence. We'll have to wait and see if it was "right" about Sherry, though.
