Utilizing the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 unprecedented power, Resident Evil 5 promises to revolutionize the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control. Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series while expanding the world of video game entertainment to new heights, confirming one again Capcom's long standing reputation as a bold innovator within the industry.

Producer Jun Takeuchi of Street Fighter 2 and the Onimusha series is overseeing the project. Current speculation suggests the main character featured in the screens is none other than Resident Evil 1 and Code Veronica star Chris Redfield, but we can't confirm that just yet. It's already obvious Capcom's following in the successful footsteps of Resident Evil 4, with several in-game images clearly mimicking the game's over-the-shoulder action style.

What is surprising, however, is the game's bright atmosphere, a stark contrast to the dark, dreary environments usually found in Resident Evil games. There's even one screen shot where a blaring sun high up in the sky blocks the camera's view of several approaching enemies who happen to look suspiciously like zombies. Could we be seeing a return to classic form this time? Time will tell.
