I might be obsessed haha
Well, the character you see above is the RE5 version of the Chainsaw character from 4, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about. This is a chance for me to go all nerdy about the graphics of this game. Since I am soon going to college to get a degree in graphic design of Characters and Levels, I’m obviously already inclined to geek out over graphics. But this particular screenshot always gets my eye and screams “I’m amazing!” Haha, so what always gets me about it is the flesh on the chainsaw character. Focusing on the torso alone, the cracks and chunks of missing flesh are cool enough, but the videos this is featured in show the incredible detail and power of the PS3 and XBOX360 processors. These realistic skins and sounds of this character really immerse you in the game and can seriously freak you out. This character without the chainsaw could really freak me out, but throwing in the chainsaw can just make you pee yourself haha. His crackly arms do the same and it’s really just genious. But the part that always makes me giddy with anticipation is the head. This wrapped up bag thing and the way he’s clutching it like he’s just seriously pissed off is intense. It seems this particular Resident Evil character might be sort of Silent Hill esque in that if you can sneak up, just watching this character move alone could freak you out before he even sees you. This game really is just beautiful. It’s all there is to say about it. And I’m going to be staring at screenshots and videos until I FINALLY get a chance to put the game in my hands.
