Two new Resident Evil 5 vids: sticky boss, viral campaign episode one
Two new Resident Evil 5 vids! These clips follow this whole mysterious viral campaign from Capcom. It’s got the cryptic “They’re in Kijuju” message, plus a look into a live-action Chris Redfield freaking out in the middle of a speech. Weird weird weird. It reminds me of the Resistance 2 viral ad campaign with Katie Sackoff. Here’s hoping things eventually get explained.
Two new Resident Evil 5 vids! Let’s watch this one first: it looks like a scene with one of the bosses in the game – maybe a mini-boss, or a real boss-boss, but let’s just say this mean mutant is exuding boss-ness. And poor Sheva and Chris Redfield find themselves in a rather sticky situation…
Now for the next video. This one’s a bit longer and requires some… attention. It’s part of this whole mysterious viral campaign from Capcom. And it’s live-action to boot.
It’s a clip depicting a BSAA (that’d be Chris’ current task force in RE5) award ceremony for Chris after the events in Africa. For one, Chris looks less buff in his live-action form than in the game. And Sheva looks rather frazzled. Wonder why…
It’s really hard to say what this is all about. Things start to get interesting when Chris takes the podium and gives his acceptance speech. He snaps, sees weird writing on his notes (“They’re in Kijuju”), and freaks out. Hmm. Weird. Reminds me of the Resistance 2 viral ad campaign with Katie Sackoff. Here’s hoping things get explained in the second episode!
Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 is to be released on March 13.
