''Gold Edition'' Microsoft Windows ''Gold Edition'' }} | genre = Action〔 | modes = Single-player, multiplayer }} ''Resident Evil 5'', known in Japan as , is an action video game developed and published by Capcom. The fifth major installment in the ''Resident Evil'' series, the game was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in March 2009 and for Microsoft Windows in September of that year. ''Resident Evil 5'' plot involves an investigation by Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar of a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional region of Africa. Chris soon learns that he must confront his past in the form of an old enemy, Albert Wesker. The game was announced in 2005, the same year predecessor ''Resident Evil 4'' was released. Several staff members from the original ''Resident Evil'' worked on ''Resident Evil 5''. Motion capture was used for the game's cutscenes, and it was the first video game to use a virtual camera system. ''Resident Evil 5'' gameplay was similar to that of the previous installment, and producer Jun Takeuchi said that themes from the original game were used. ''Resident Evil 5'' had a mostly-positive reception, although the game was criticised for problems with its controls and (initially) for racism. Outselling its predecessor, ''Resident Evil 5'' became the franchise's best-selling individual game. A sequel, ''Resident Evil 6'', was released in 2012. ==Gameplay== ''Resident Evil 5'' is an action game with an over-the-shoulder perspective.〔 Players can use a number of weapons (including handguns, shotguns, automatic rifles, sniper rifles and grenade launchers) in addition to melee attacks. Wounding an enemy with a firearm often causes them to stagger; if the player is in close range, an icon will appear with the option of a melee attack such as an uppercut or a somersault kick. Players can make quick 180-degree turns to evade enemies.〔 Many of the game's cutscenes and boss battles involve quick time events.〔 Like its predecessor ''Resident Evil 4'', although players cannot run and shoot at the same time they can upgrade weapons with money and treasure and heal themselves with herbs.〔 New features include infected enemies with guns and grenades,〔 the ability to upgrade weapons at any time from the inventory screen (rather than finding a merchant) and the equipping of weapons and items in real time during gameplay.〔 Each player can store nine items (unlike the previous games, the item size is irrelevant; an herb or a grenade launcher each occupy one space), and four items may be assigned to the D-pad.〔 ''Resident Evil 5'' supports two-player co-operative gameplay.〔 The first player controls Chris Redfield, and a second player can control Sheva Alomar. If a person plays alone, Sheva is controlled by the game's artificial intelligence. When the game has been completed once, there is an option to make Sheva the primary character.〔 Two-player mode is available online or split-screen with a local player. A second player joining a split-screen game in progress will make the game reload the last checkpoint; the second player joining an online game will have to wait until the first player reaches the next checkpoint (or restarts the previous one) to play.〔 Split-screen mode presents the game in two windows with the wide-screen proportions of one-player mode, rather than splitting the screen in two, and the entire screen is not utilized.〔 Players are separated at points during gameplay; if one player has critical health, only their partner can resuscitate them. Players can trade items during gameplay, although weapons cannot be traded with online players.〔 A version of the ''Mercenaries'' minigame which debuted in ''Resident Evil 3'' is included in ''Resident Evil 5''. When the game was released the minigame multiplayer mode was offline only, but a release-day patch gave the game online multiplayer modes. ''Mercenaries'' unlocks when the game's story mode has been completed. This minigame places the player in an enclosed environment with a time limit. Customised weapons cannot be used, and players must search for weapons, ammunition and time bonuses while fighting a barrage of enemies〔 to score as many points as possible within the time limit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resident Evil 5」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
