Resident evil 5

See Resident evil 5 a lot brighter than the other resident evil games, it's set during the day for a start. I wonder why this is, resident evil is a very dark game by nature.

Sorry I missed out the 5 in the title, it was meant to read "why is resident evil 5 so bright compared to the others"
And also I wrote this in a post because I didn't want to mess with the original post

Because if it didn't, the naysayers would say(or naysay) that ist not much of a departure from the others and isn't woth the money just for upgraded graphics.

I dont know

but I remember a time when the SH tram (silent hill) said they wanted SH5 to happen in the day and to make people fear the day as the night. Of course the SH team is not developping SH5 so I suppose we will never know what they meant.

and u can't judge the whole SH5 game based on 1 trailer. It was just shown to present the environnement and the zombies.

HDR lighting with bloom and tone mapping is the latest thing these days.

well... heat and light have a lot to do with re5 dont they?

if your out in the sun you get hot or tired or heatstroke or something...and maybe blackout?
i cant really remember.

Also, i imagine a really bright outside area will have really dark shoadowed areas (as in the pic you posted) with lots of little zombies hiding out.

Thats the genius about the game ... it will be scarry even during daytime ;)
