\"Chris<\/a><\/p>\n

Capcom is ridiculously turning up heat on what promises to be one of spring’s most devastating videogame releases: Resident Evil 5<\/em><\/a>. The burn comes from the first in their series of viral videos, “Ceremony,”<\/a> and it’s bananas<\/em>.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/a>In the brand-new live-action short, which takes place after<\/em> the action within the game, leader Chris Redfield, right, part of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), is receiving a medal for services duly rendered.<\/p>\n

\"Four-star<\/a>What strikes you, though, as you watch the proceedings, is the gut feeling that, as opposed to rewarding men who’ve done honorably, this event, crammed in an old bunker under sallow light, is the last nail in a coffin of dirty deeds; a payoff designed to keep mouths shut and reports sealed. Some four-star general, above, who knows where the bodies are buried, rattles off an empty speech about “bravery,” “sacrifice,” and “valor” as Redfield looks nervously around, intoning, “It’s amazing how far you can get in life by destroyng the lives of others.” Sheva Alomar, Redfield’s mission partner, below, looks on, concerned.<\/p>\n

\"Sheva<\/a>Which is what you should be, and then some: As Redfield steps up to receive the award and read his acceptance speech, he’s fine…only briefly, before he starts to completely break down mentally. He sputters, sweating, unable to focus his eyes. Looking down at his acceptance text, it’s suddely covered with violent scrawls. Then, he sees himself running, running, back in Kijuju, the site of everything he’s tried desperately to repress, but that is now coming out of him like a foul loam.<\/p>\n

In other words, he’s back in the game. Or, rather, you<\/em> are, and it’s wild<\/em>. The first time I watched the trailer, I soon realized that I had unconsciously clamped my hand over my open mouth. I said it before, in my post about the racial controversy around RE5<\/em><\/a>: Love it or hate it, this game is going to be the one to beat in March. That is…I think you’re gonna have a hard time getting it out of your system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
