Resident Evil 5 is turning into a shooter

Speaking of Resident Evil 5, a new trailer for the survival-horror game was recently released and it’s looking mighty fine. The new Resident Evil is looking more and more “deliberately-paced shooter” than “scary action adventure game.” Want proof? Watch the trailer after the jump.

See those nasty machine-gun-on-rails sequences? Chris Redfield and his partner may still move like a tank, but the series truly has evolved since its first installment a dozen years ago. Cooperative online mode? Check. Badass guns? Check.

While all these changes are welcome and have given the franchise an even wider appeal, I just hope there won’t ever be a point that Resident Evil 32 would come with rocket jumping or bunny hopping.
