Resident Evil 5 PC Videos

As you all probably know, Resident Evil 5 PC was released on 18th September that came along with some new features. Besides the graphical tweaking, a set of new costumes were added and a new mode for Mercenaries, called No Mercy, was made available. It was also to be expected that mods were being made available as the release date was coming closer and closer. The ENB series was one of the first and also the one that's the most impressive so far: it changes your color palette to a much more realistic one.

Because of my rig, I've taken the oppertunity to record quite a few things that show off the new features of the PC version.

First of all, all cutscenes with the ENB mod can be found on this playlist

A preview cutscene with the new costumes (Chris Warrior and Sheva Business) can be found here

Want more? Here are all cutscenes featuring the new costumes.

Last but not least, here's a video featuring gameplay of the new No Mercy mode.

All videos are of high quality and are best viewed in full screen.

Enjoy!

Resident Evil 5 Ripped Stuff

Character Speech
These voice files were ripped by Sectus from the Capcom Unity. So credit goes to him/her. I made a transcript of it and it is included. It's interesting to see the how quite a few files weren't used in the retail game. So if you want to hear Chris, Sheva and Jill say ''shit!'' go go download it right here: http://www.iLev.nl/residentevil5/Speech.rar. The transcript can be found here for a preview
(it's also included in the rar).

Benchmark Backgrounds/Icons/Maps
These were ripped by myself with the help of Mr. Mouse (thanks!) and others over at Xentax (a file archiving/extracting community).
I didn't rip everything. It would have taken way too long, besides, most things weren't that interesting anyways (well, you got to see Chris' and Sheva's faces as if they were steamrolled). I'll be sure to watch the community once Resident Evil 5 PC hits the stores to rip everything.








Please don't direct link these images. I'm using my own webhost.

Also, about scanning the artbook, I've dropped it for now. All of the images can be found on http://www.residentevilcenter.net/ without any blurry sides. The character and poster scans will stay online though. I might pick it up later, who knows.

For now, enjoy these rips. :p


Resident Evil 5 Official Artbook Posters

*Copy and paste* with additional notes.
  • Most images are over 3 MB in size.
  • Most images have a resolution higher than 4000x6000 pixels.
  • I watermarked each scan in a way that won't screw up the image. I hope you don't mind. (Lev is my nickname, iLev.nl is my website)
  • Credits are, in this case, required.
  • Please do not hotlink any of the scans! I'm using my own host for these scans and it's already going to cost a lot of bandwidth by you guys just downloading the scans. 
  • Almost every scan has a blurry side, either on the left or the right side. This is because I didn't want to tear my book apart. I did my best to scan every page as much as possible, but just wasn't possible at times. Sorry.
  • The images might look really pixelized the first time you see them, but realise that you're looking at a 4000x6000+ picture. Once you've resized them for avatars, signatures etc., they actually look really sharp.
Cover


Hehe, I forgot to post this one. This is the cover of the artbook. The weird darker tentacle thingies aren't my fingerprints on a very dusty artbook, I presume they're supposed to be Ouroboros. They're shiny too!

Posters




Yes, they're awesome aren't they? Definately my favorite part of the artbook. I think it's the first time these ever showed up on the internet. At least, I've never seen them before.



I posted these seperately because these have showed up on the internet quite a lot. I'm quite the perfectionist however, so I scanned them as well.

Avatar




Icons from the poster images.

Next up...


Enjoy! Comments are, as usual, fun.

EDIT: Batch download link (166.51 MB; do not post this anywhere else without permission!), contains character designs and posters, excluding the icons: http://www.iLev.nl/residentevil5/Part1-2.rar.



Resident Evil 5 Official Artbook - Character Designs
Chris Redfield Benchmark
[info]haoranc
As said earlier, I managed to get the official artbook of Resident Evil 5 and was planning on scanning it. It's gonna take a while before I've posted everything, as each scan goes very slow due to the age of my scanner (I think it's well over 5 years now) and the quality I've chosen (maximum). If you like what you see here, please consider buying a copy on Play Asia or eBay. You get a book with smelly pages that contains beautiful images, you won't have to deal with blurry sides and last but not least, you support Capcom and their Resident Evil franchise.

A few things before we go on with the goodies.
  • Most images are over 3 MB in size.
  • Most images have a resolution higher than 4000x6000 pixels.
  • I watermarked each scan in a way that won't screw up the image. I hope you don't mind. (Lev is my nickname, iLev.nl is my website)
  • Credits are, in this case, required.
  • Please do not hotlink any of the scans! I'm using my own host for these scans and it's already going to cost a lot of bandwidth by you guys just downloading the scans. 
  • Almost every scan has a blurry side, either on the left or the right side. This is because I didn't want to tear my book apart. I did my best to scan every page as much as possible, but just wasn't possible at times. Sorry.
On to the goodies! We start with the Character Designs. Click image for full size.

First picture contains the two promotional pictures of Chris. Many of the character sketches are also in the Collector's Edition of the Resident Evil 5 Guide. What were the devs thinking by putting Chris in a barrel? Resident Evil 5 a la Metal Gear Solid? And what's with the alternate yellow tiger costume? xD

Sheva Alomar



First image came out weird and I couldn't fix it. :( Second image made me think of an African Cammy. :o

CHRIIIIIIIIIIIS!


ALBEEEEEEERT!


A man with standards


"Screw those millions of people! I can't leave you!"
Sheva: Oh get over it, Chris.

Here's the hi-res picture of BSAA Jill, 'LJ user who tried to bribe me'. (I couldn't look it up at the time, sorry! You know who you are. xD)

Ozwell E. Spencer



Josh & Co



Next up are the 'posters' or rather promotional images that were never shown on the internet (as far as I know). One of my favorites.

Also, IF you happen to read Japanese and by any chance you'd like to translate some of the more interesting parts of the book, please do tell!


Enjoy. Comments are fun!



Resident Evil 5 - Chris Redfield Icons

There we go. 57 Chris Redfield icons. Yes, I like face shots. How did you guess?

Man, as a LJ illiterate, I'm bound to get RSI. First, I uploaded each avatar seperately because I wasn't using a desktop client (I'm not too keen on trying that). And second, I had to add them all seperately in this thread through a table (the cells don't have a number, sorry!).  Oh well, I'll find another way next time.

A few things on these icons:
-I used my own caps, the ones I posted a while ago on Residentevilicons and Gamecandy.
-These icons can be used as bases. Modify them however you like; just don't go screaming how much trouble it was to cut and resize them.

Umm..Yes, that's about it. Oh yeah, I got the official artbook from Resident Evil 5 (it's in stock right now on Play Asia!). I'll see if I can figure a way out to scan the book without tearing it apart. Many of the images are gorgeous. Also, you should see the other idea the devs had for Chris' alternate costume. xD

Enjoy the icons folks.
