New Resident Evil 5 Partner trailer

Capcom has just released all-new footage of the Resident Evil 5 scare fest. The survival horror game’s plot will be set 10 years after the events in the first Resident Evil game, this time in Africa, and will concern the origins of the virus. According to Producer Jun Takeuchi, one of the plot’s key elements will revolve around the whereabouts of STARS and main character Chris Redfield’s life after the first Resident Evil game.

The video below will show the advanced lighting effects. The game’s environment will play a significant role. For example, if Redfield suffers prolonged exposure to heat, he will begin to see mirages and hallucinations. Also if Redfield moves between bright and dark areas his eyes will have to adjust, causing the player to briefly lose some visual of their surroundings.

This trailer shows off Chris Redfield’s new female partner (playable in the online co-op mode?).
