First look scenes of Chris Redfield's female partner in Resident Evil 5 have hit and we have to say she seems pretty cool and not at all the sniveling wimp we were expecting (we blame Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for this preconceived notion).
Resident Evil 5 is due for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 next year. The title is rumored to be set in Haiti or 'an unknown African country' and is set 10 years after Resident Evil. The female character is as yet unnamed and is featured in the latest trailer saying "I may not be as big as you, but I can still hold my own" to which Mr Redfield replies "no worries, my last partner was a woman too"... shame that wasn't her line when they were talking romantic interludes.

I think I'll like her. :)

I like. But as 'partner' does that mean she is just a tag along or do you get to control her as well? How involved is she going to be in the actual gameplay?

Yay! That is all.

I'm pretty sure you'll get to control her as well. Players were given control of the female partners in all past RE games, even as the defenseless little girls that you had to protect.

That woman is MAYBE Sherry Birkin from RE2. There are rumours about it so i dont know for sure.
Heres a little copypaste:
"It will feature an online co-op mode so you can play the entire game with a friend by your side."
"....article said Chris Redfield will be joined on his adventures by a lady mercenary. A second player will be able to drop-in and play as her at any time, and when you're going it alone she'll be AI-controlled." http://www.eurogamer.net
So yes, i want to play this fifth title also.
(Sorry the bad english. Im from Finland)
