Cheers, Capcom, for adding English subtitles to Famitsu's lengthy video interview with Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi.
It's been posted up on Capcom's blog, and runs for nearly 14 minutes. So if you wanted to know what Takeuchi was discussing if you'd seen the video before, well, now you know.
Takeuchi covers numerous topics connected with the sequel including the influence of light and dark on Resident Evil 5, the setting, the game system, characters and fighting elements. His words are interspersed with gameplay footage and behind-the-scenes stuff. It's definitely worth a watch.
Resident Evil 5 "is shaping up to be something incredible", says Takeuchi. Great! Now how about that release date?
"Ze vesoon ve iss doing zis iss because ve do not like the black peoples. It iss tvue. Our first plan vas to set zis game in ze Africa, and show zat ze Africa is mainly populated by ze vhite man, but ve vas affraid of offending peoples like N'Gai Croal, so ve thought ve'd be the more honest, and just conzentrate on ze killing of ze black man."
"Next time, to be safe, ve vill haff to pretend that ze Africa and ze black man do not exists. Asian Power!"

A Japanise German!! aaahhhhh!!....
Cool i'll watch it this afternoon while i look busy behind me monitors at work, just press render & sit back...ahhhh...
cant wait for this game, & with the speed this year is going it'll be here in no time!!. *realises he is wishing his life away for a game... takes a moment to rearrange his priorities*
Even though this looks amazing , i cant help but think about how my brain wont be getting eaten but rather they are going to get smashed about, I hope some later levels involve a bit of munching on old chris(oo er) cos thats wot makes res great ZOMBIES !!!
I mean come on what is the point of a wii version? It will look awful compared to the proper next gen consoles, and on the wii you will have to have a max of 4 zombies running at chris or it will be slowdown time, unless the zombies are renderd as stick men with little red dots as eyes..
On the subject of zombies eating brains, if I was playing chris they wouldn't even bother with me as they would somehow know my lack of spelling ability thus deducing that there would be nothing to eat in my vacant skull.
Originally PS2 was not powerful enough for the Resi 4. That came out and it was great. No reason why they can't do a Wii version. Of course it won't look as good but Capcom know how to program.
