Who is the main character in Resident Evil 5?

[Necron]

I don't know whether it's been revealed or not yet.. Anyone know who?

[yunafan11]

their making a new one... my guess is, they are making a new silent hill... huh? lol. I have no clue. when I looked at this forum I just saw that it is being made. lol.

[Dreddz]

My guess is Chris....

[yunafan11]

Chris who? was he in past games?

[SoulTaker*]

Its Chris Redfield. Saw him in a few trailers. He has been in I think 2 previous games, 1 and Code:Veronica.

[Necron]

I am very sure that guy in the trailers is not Chris.

[SoulTaker*]

Well...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_5

And the fact that the guy in the trailer and the Chris dude look really similar. Who knows.

[Necron]

Yeah I've just been looking at the Wikipedia article, but I'm still not convinced that it's him, as I really don't see much similarity between them. Is there not a chance it could be Billy Coen?

[Dreddz]

It could be Carlos Oliveria from RE3 .....

[MecaKane]

It's Chris, they just had a really roundabout way of saying so.

Takeuchi avoided revealing the character's identity, but did mention that the core developers of RE5 include members of the original RE team, and that the character is someone that the developers are fond of.

When told that the unshaven man looked a bit too old to be Mr. Redfield, Takeuchi said that the Resident Evil timeline has continued on, and the hardware capabilities of the next-generation consoles are finally allowing characters to look as old as they're supposed to.

Billy Coen's also believed to be dead. And the character in the trailer didn't have the armband tattoo that Mr. Coen did.

[BatChao]

I would like it to be Billy, but the guy really looks like Chris... I am pretty sure it is Chris... It would be cool if it were Carlos too, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

[edczxcvbnm]

Billy...am I mission something? I can't remember who he is.

Also, you are all wrong. It is so totally Barry XD

EDIT: OH YEAH! Billy is that idiot from RE: MISTAKE Zero

[Necron]

I would really love to see Barry as a main character :cry:

[Madame Adequate]

It's Chris.

But Barry would be great.

[Necron]

It's Chris.

But Barry would be great.

They have given huge hints that it's probably Chris, it's not for certain though.

ahhhhh

[Necron]

I think Chris has been a main character too many times. (Twice is too many) :)
I think they should make Ada a main character - Or Barry - or anyone like that.
Especially Barry :D :D

[BatChao]

God... Ada as a main character would be soooo freakin' awesome. I was really hoping that she'd take the spotlight in RE5... but I guess being in two consecutive games is a little un-RE-like. Maybe RE6? She's GOTTA be the main character at some point. Haha... if it was Ada and Jill... I'd squeal with delight. Maybe they could have one with Ashley and Sherry Berkin... that would be interesting too!

[Dreddz]

Especially Barry :D :D
Game Makers dont really like using fat people as the main characters I dont think, but hey, Capcom could do a first !

[Madame Adequate]

They have given huge hints that it's probably Chris, it's not for certain though.

True, but I'm sure enough of it to state it as being pseudo-proto-fact.

[Markus. D]

their making a new one... my guess is, they are making a new silent hill... huh? I cried aloud with mirth and merriment. I have no clue. when I looked at this forum I just saw that it is being made. I cried aloud with mirth and merriment.


has she got a filter on the lol.... or is she going to all that effort type ICAWMAM?



im guessing its chris.


edit: gah! me to, I got it to.

[Necron]

He could have liposuction :D

[~SapphireStar~]

It will be Chris, Im gutted it isnt Billy cause I totally fell for him, but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

[Dolentrean]

I should be the main charecter, I could totaly survive a zombie attack!

But I do think it is Chris, they have givin alot of hints leaning towards it being Chris.

[Necron]

Billy Coen's also believed to be dead.

But he's not actually dead xD

[Shlup]

Ashley should be the main character. *hucks a lamp*
