[edit] Weapons & Gameplay section

I'm about to overhaul its grammar and structure. In my opinion, it's rather difficult to read right now. I'm going to try to keep all pertinent information, with the exception of the section detailing Wesker's plans for the viruses and Plagas samples, which are being moved to storyline. Showdown 06:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mouthful

"It will probably be more or less action-packed than RE4."

Is this necessary?

Yeah it doesn't really make sense and that whole paragraph is just speculation anyway. Changed, but don't know if it should be deleted altogether. Showdown 06:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Each talk entry does not need a seperate title

Since most of these discussion entries are a debate on whether or not the main character is Chris, you do not need a title for every single entry. The "Chris-or-not-Chris" debacle is a single topic. Please read the Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, or read the top of the Resident Evil 5 talk page; The page what you are reading right now. So please stop it, Napolitano. CardinalFangZERO 18:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah you are right so i deleted the titles... well i have nothing more to say but thanks for the advice --Napolitano 20:16, 26 March 2006

[edit] Guessing the ESRB rating?

In the infobox it says "Rating Pending But most likely M". I don't think we should guess what the rating will be. That's probably considered original research and should be removed. I agree that it probably will be rated M, but it's not our job to speculate on what the rating might be. Just saying the rating is pending is fine. --Optichan 20:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Rating Pending should be fine, too. Rockhound 18:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speculation

Perhaps I'm way off base in this, but does it not appear as if certain elements of the article are speculation. Namely, the comments about Albert Wesker combining the T and G Viruses with Las Plagas. To my knowledge, this is not canon, and is therefore original research or speculation. Furthermore, several elements in the Weapons and Gameplay category appear to be speculation as well, particularly the Kendo Gun Shop and Desert Eagle snippets. None of this is cited as having been brought up in an interview or magazine article, and I'm quite sure that the "supervirus" is merely fan myth. I was wondering if anyone would be opposed to the removal of that information pending a citation. GraniteJJ 04:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm for removal of this bit pending citation. Rockhound 18:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

With Wesker combining T and G with a Plaga parasite, it could be a possibility, although never stated in RE4. He does make a brief appearance in Ada's mission, but that's it. But I'm with Rockhound on this. Until we know something official, it should be removed. CardinalFangZERO 20:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

One thing people should know is that Wesker does NOT have the actual Plaga parasite, seeing as Ada gave him a fake.

[edit] Not a wii title?

Shouldn’t this article include information about why the franchise is moving away from Nintendo?

info from this link gives an idea, I say its worth puting it. http://www.joystiq.com/2005/07/20/resident-evil-5-confirmed-for-ps3-360-nintendo-snubbed/

86.142.13.24 18:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[]I thought they had a Contract With Nintendo and Their Time is Up So no more Nintendo unless things Change I guess. The RE series on the GC seemed to have some sort of exclusivity even though the first two were remakes and when the Contract was done They Quickly Shifted to the PS2 to port over RE4 on that Platform. I don't know much though but this is the best info I can give you.

The franchise isn't "moving away from Nintendo". There will be a Wii-exclusive RE game alongside RE5. The franchise has split off like this in the past too (Veronica was originally a Dreamcast exclusive, Zero was an N64/GC exclusive, etc) , so I wouldn't put too much significance on the "snub". Kelvingreen 08:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SKU?

Hello, I was wondering if someone could clarify what an "SKU" is, since it's mentioned several times in the first paragraph, and the general public probably doesn't already know what an "SKU" is. Thanks in advance. Power Slave 16:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's just the barcode, that's all.  :) CardinalFangZERO 22:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I made a small edit, explaining the acronym on its first use and linking it to an explanatory wiki page, though to be perfectly honest I'm still not entirely sure what it's referring to or what it's purpose is. I think it should be rewritten, if possible. Clarified, and such. Terpoma 01:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weapons and Gameplay

Unless some of those statements start being cited sometime soon, I have half a mind to remove them. Xubelox 20:06, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed Power Slave 02:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Also agreed, and at least one of them was removed by me. Namely, the bit about the gun in the RE5 trailer looking like the "Beretta" in RE2. First of all, there are no Beretta handguns in RE2. Secondly, the gun in the RE5 trailer quite simply does not look like any of the guns in RE2. LoneWolf6:16 23:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speculation about the protagonist

Neither this article nor this talk page are the place to speculate about who the protagonist of RE5 is. Speculative comments that don't address the article will be removed. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Someone stated that the protagonist was Chris Redfield based off of an "information leak" of a website. It DOES say that on the page but we can't know for sure that it's the truth. Should we accept it (and/or) Does the person (?) who stated this have any other sources?

Just wondering. Peregrine 20:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The only information known about the main character is that it's somebody "the developers are quite fond of" and the development team is the one that worked on the original Resident Evil. It's not a confirmation for Chris Redfield, but I think it's enough to warrant a mention considering the "wink wink" tone of the quote. - Charagon 3-29-07

[edit] Vandalism

Well, someone changed the mentions of a desert setting to "Strip Bar", so I'm revertiing the page. Oh, and he changed HUNK to "Fat Fat Joe". Sooo. I guess I'll be doing that... 67.142.130.29 08:05, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- Huh... Someone beat me to it. 67.142.130.29 08:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Next time just revert it right away. ;) No need to tell us. :) Havok (T/C/e/c) 08:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black Hawk Down?

it will take place in a post apocalyptic setting, similar to the movie Black Hawk Down. That needs tidying up, because it implies that BHD is a post-apocalyptic story, which it clearly isn't. I don't know enough about RE5 to know what to change it to myself, however. I assume that with the changes that have been made to the article, with the reference to a desert setting lost, we're left with something nonsensical. Kelvingreen 21:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release Dates?

Im conused as there has been news that the release of RE5 has been pushed back until sometime in late 2008 or 2009 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.166.141.52 (talk) 20:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC).

By News, do you mean the rumor mill, or an actual GameSpot or IGN article. Neither Source has claimed there has been a change in Re5's release date. IGN claims the game will come out on 12/31/07 --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  21:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The latest issue of Xbox World 360 claims a mid to late 08 release is likely as the game is still at the storyboard stage.

[edit] screenshots

these are both used for promotion and as proper screen shots, either rationale makes it acceptable for them to be in this article. --AlexOvShaolin 18:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

No, Because the license specifically states, for identification and critical commentary - meaning some text needs to directly refer to the images in question. This for the same reason one cannot use a random TV screen shot to depict a profile shot of a person.However, if you were to write some commentary in the gallery, perhaps explain what it is depicting in relation to the article's content it should be fine. See Talk:Brian Urlacher#Images or [[Image:TomWad.JPG]] . Also the images have no fair use rationale whatsoever - the tag is not good enough {{game-screenshot}} (although most people wont make a deal abut it unless your nominating the article for GA or FA status. If you feel the images are absolutely needed, you can claim the images in Fair Use because... (See Waddle Image) --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  18:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

the images are part of the game environment description and are direct references. --AlexOvShaolin 18:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

And I'm guessing why that's why they're in a stand alone gallery, which is in a separate section and have no claim of purpose. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  19:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This game is not coming out March 23, 2007

Not in a million years. Why is that in there? The source is bogus, obviously.--68.227.65.46 07:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sick Stuff and rumors

I just deleted a Sentence which had the following "Chris redfield will be having an affair with his sister. Introducing the element of incest according to Play magazine will be the scariest part of the game or any game to date." not only is that not accepteble the creator hasen't even said who is the Alledged protangist, and I just deleted a sentece that said Jill Valentine may be in the game cause it has no evedence to back up the claim, I have not yet found who did it but I am searching. Efrit 9:41 pm 2/15/07 Febuary

I have found who did the Jill Valentine sentence it is 24.168.253.161 and I have also found who did the Sick sentence it is 89.241.17.202 Their both IP's and if you want proff of 89.241.17.202 doing the Sick Sentence look on an older revision it cleary isnt their before 89.241.17.202 revision. Efrit 9:57 pm 2/15/07 Febuary

It seems our friend 24.168.253.161 won't stop makeing false rumors and even restored the Jill Sentence and even added a Character section I have deleted all of 24.168.253.161 revisions and please Admins or Mods make the article Member only editing. Efrit 10:04 pm 2/15/07 Febuary

[edit] Sentence in plot

Is the sentence in plot really needed cause I really don't think that Resident Evil 4 was a side story cause it was really involved with Wesker and it showed his plans of building Umbrella back up and it showed what happend to Leon since Resident Evil 2. Efrit 9:58 am 2/20/07 Febuary

RE4’s plot mainly revolved around Leon Kennedy and his mission to rescue Ashley Graham. The part about Krauser, Wesker, and Ada working to obtain the Plagas sample was a sub-story. The game does not show what happened to Leon, other than the fact he became a secret service agent and met Krauser back at the “academy”. Additionally, Takeuchi himself has dubbed RE4 to be side story – see the reference next to it. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  22:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gameplay

Should any mention be made of the fact that heat and cold are supposedly going to be an intergal part of the gameplay?

Its already mentioned in some form. See the 3rd Point in the GamePlay section. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  22:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I could have sworn that section wasn't there when I read the article. Ah well my bad.
