Bizarrely, if you leave the page open, the timer actually runs faster than real time (I think it occasionally jumps a minute), but refreshing the page brings you back to the 'true' time.

*EDIT* - The countDOWN has begun. 72 hours. So... trailer, then?

It's definitely a countdown to the trailer.

Don't wanna trout you, but I think we're all aware of what this is for. The url was kinda our biggest clue...

Plus, it can't be said one way or the other as to whether this is an ARG, it could just be a site for the trailer, but I've seen ARG's start with stuff like this, so you never know.

It's weird. I know the chances of it actually being an ARG are very slim, but I'm also familiar with this site... I headed over there to find out news about RE5, and well, I found that camera page. All of the other parts of the site, the Umbrella Chronicles downloads, the message board links, the trailers, it's all gone and replaced with that camera. Seems pretty extreme to me to shut down the whole site just to add a countdown to a trailer.
Maybe it's just viral marketing for the trailer, to make you keep coming back and boost interest. But I felt compelled to link this because of the possibility that it might turn into an ARG (which I'm desperately hoping it will). I'm hoping I didn't break any rule or something stating that it has to be a confirmed ARG to post it. Did I?

Ha! That is at least as ironic as the porn adult movie that's running a viral campaign right now. Very Happy

I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but every time "someone" picks up the camera for a moment, when they drop it, it moves further down that dirt street. The other day when I found this the hut that is now on the left was further away and on the right. "We" appear to be moving closer to something.

BUMPED

9 hours left on the countdown, and I'm about to hit the sack, so hopefully there's been some chatter when I get back on tomorrow.

Just thought I'd mention that this wouldn't be Capcom's first ARG tied to games starting with trailers. If you guys remember Lost Planet had flashes of website urls in the three trailers that were released. I followed that ARG for almost all of it, but when I left months had gone by without any activity in the game. Hopefully Capcom won't abandon this one, if it turns out to be an ARG.

I can only hope for an RE ARG but something tells me that we are only going to be seeing the trailer. Regardless, I will be up all night waiting for the countdown to finish. =]

RE and MGS are two games I am desperately waiting to be made into ARGs. If this happens, you'll all be seeing a lot of me.

The new trailer can be seen already as part of Gametrailers broadcast:
http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=18
It's about halfway through the show.

Well, it would appear that the GameTrailers version of the new RE5 trailer didn't have anything on first glance. Could be an alternate version posted on the RE site though... Game looks amazing either way. Very similar to RE4.
