Capcom has unleashed its second viral advertisement for upcoming horror sequel Resident Evil 5, once again focusing on the after effects of Chris Redfield’s horrific exploits in Kijuju.

This latest episode depicts Redfield out on a date with an Asian woman of unknown identity. At first glance things appear to be going well with the pair engaging in some friendly banter, although the situation soon turns bleak as the effects of Redfield’s PTSD kicks in, rendering him a frightened, gibbering wreck.

Check out the video below, which includes numerous gameplay clips including Redfield’s encounter with a giant sea creature of some description.


Resident Evil 5 is due out on March 13 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

     Should be PTSD (sorry to nitpick).  Interesting perspective to add to a game though.  I will be keeping a close eye on this one.

     @Dogswithguns: Maybe. But not likely. Didn't we all think the same about GTA4?
