IGN has posted up a new video interview with Resident Evil 5 producer, Jun Takeuchi, who takes the time to discuss a number of elements behind the highly anticipated survival horror outing.
Among the subjects discussed include the design philosophy behind main protagonist, Chris Redfield, where Takeuchi reveals the aim was to use a character model “that’s buffed up,” in turn allowing the developers to give Redfield a wider repertoire of moves.
Elsewhere, he also reiterates the main focus of the storyline, which as touched on in our recent trailer analysis, centres on the origins of the Progenitor Virus last detailed in 2002’s Resident Evil Zero.
Check out the interview yourself below.
Resident Evil 5 is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by the end of Capcom’s current fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.
