Resident Evil 5 (PS5) 4K 60FPS HDR Gameplay
Resident Evil 5[a] is a third-person shooter video game developed and
published by Capcom. It is a major installment in the Resident Evil
series, and was announced in 2005—the same year its predecessor Resident
Evil 4 was released. Resident Evil 5 was released for the PlayStation 3
and Xbox 360 consoles in March 2009 and for Microsoft Windows in
September that year. The plot involves an investigation of a terrorist
threat by Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance agents Chris
Redfield and Sheva Alomar in Kijuju, a fictional region of Africa. Chris
learns that he must confront his past in the form of an old enemy,
Albert Wesker, and his former partner, Jill Valentine.

The gameplay of Resident Evil 5 is similar to that of the previous
installment, though it is the first in the series designed for
two-player cooperative gameplay. It has also been considered the first
game in the main series to depart from the survival horror genre, with
critics saying it bore more resemblance to an action game. Motion
capture was used for the cutscenes, and it was the first video game to
use a virtual camera system. Several staff members from the original
Resident Evil worked on Resident Evil 5. The PC version was developed by
Mercenary Technology.

Resident Evil 5 received a positive reception, despite some criticism
for its control scheme. The game received some complaints of racism,
though an investigation by the British Board of Film Classification
found the complaints were unsubstantiated. Resident Evil 5 was
re-released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2016. As of December
2020, the original release has sold over 7.8 million units. A special
edition of the game and releases on other platforms sold an additional
4.3 million units, bringing the total sales to 12.1 million. It is the
best-selling game of the Resident Evil franchise, and the original
version remained the best-selling individual Capcom release until March
2018, when it was outsold by Monster Hunter: World. A sequel, Resident
Evil 6, was released in 2012.
