Resident Evil 5 Springs Hope
In spite of the increasingly realistic graphics, this latest generation of games has done little to impress me. Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect look great and sound great in principle, but it seems lately that games are devoid of “soul” – dark, angsty, brooding, and lacking personality. But then enter the Resident Evil 5 trailer to completely blow my mind. It’s still dark in tone, but seeing this game in action and realizing that the earlier videos were real-time and not pre-rendered, well…how could I not be impressed? The action looks awfully intense, too. Maybe there’s hope for the new generation, after all…
