thanks for the warning. I won't be watching the video. i doubt Capcom have learn the lesson of not showing everything before the game release

That's so much more then I expected. And 12 hrs long... Wow, impressive.

Btw in the video when he says "ridiculous final bosses" they show a completely new creature. I really hope that is not the final boss.

Looks like there's gonna be a lot of whining on the camera style

I doubt it. My guess is that the final boss is in that big terrarium/sky dome looking thing that we've seen in other trailers. But that's just speculation.

I wouldn't say it was spoilerific really, its certainly not going to ruin anyone's gaming experience if they watch this. I like how they say the plot is very confusing and convoluted though. IGN thinks that's a bad thing but it sounds pretty good to me!

Me too. The more details, the better in my eyes.

The video shows the main menu (or part of it) with two very interesting options: Archives and Chronicles.

DO WANT

Yeah I think so too... But what about "super-intelligent plant life"? Ivy was never super-intelligent nor was Plant-42. Alexia has plant-like looks, especially in DSC, but in actuality has nothing to do with plants. So either they meant her... Or some new creatures from SA scenario.

really? hmm, I am guessing "archives" to be a mode where you can view character's bio and the 3d models, the organisation and virus informations etc, while Chronicles to be videos showcasing the stories.

Well, the T-Veronica virus was created through combining the Progenitor virus with the DNA (and an ancient virus found within said DNA) of a queen ant with plant DNA.

There are also "new" humanoid plants similar to Plant 43, but much more... human. At least, thats what they seem to look like. Could be just a Plant 43 variation, since there are also Hunter Gamma variations.

That is by the RE Archives, which is full of plot holes and terrible grammatic mistakes. I never trusted it by a smallest bit. This plant DNA is never mentioned in any of CV files. It's just Progenitor and Queen Ant virus. I trust this more. But anything's possible within RE universe, so we'll see.

I agree with you here - it's hard for me to trust a poorly-written source.

I loved the little scene of showing more on Rockfort Island's attack by HCF. It will do nice for a few things from my end.
