v.— «There was stuff like even before the point in the trailer where the crowd turned into zombies. They’re sort of being, in sort of post-modern parlance, they’re sort of “othered.” They’re hidden in shadows, you can barely see their eyes, and the perspective of the trailer is not even someone who’s coming to help the people.» —“Resident Evil 5 Video Interview Translated” by Kris Pigna 1UP.com Apr. 11, 2008.
