I heard this game is Wii only. Is it true or not? the video shows the 360 controller, but what is it comming out for?

Wow, I'm so impressed with the exact same motion capturing as Ganados...
Seems like Capcom decided to switch setting and give more of the same, AGAIN. You'd think a different virus/parasite/disease/magic would have them be different. But nope.

Anyway, I'm hoping that's just beta or alpha version and that that will change, and that Ganado animations are being used as stand ins while they get new motion capturing done. I mean, since I don't see a HUD this game is probably not done. Unless it's not gonna have an RE4 HUD.

haha like the Wii could handle this game? it would ##### its pants and then self-destruct

Ahaha excellent. Ill prolly buy it on the spot!!

I heard they were releasing it on the original gameboy black and white, true or false? XD

Not sure what he was talking about, but he mentioned light and dark, and not being able to see things, many times.

Here's the full version of that interview, and translated.
I think I understand where they're going with that light/dark aspect. Stepping into a dark place from a bright place will make it hard to see what's ahgead of you for a few seconds until the characters eyes adjust. Sounds like it might be an interesting feature, and probably used in more ways than we expect. Good thing that the action button is back again, and improved.

And apparently the origin of the virus seems to be from Africa.
I can see the angry black blog owners making new entries about that one. lol

Yeah, I posted it on the previous page, Voyer.

UK magazine Xbox World 360 (we are not dyslexic) and GamesRadar (link seems to lead nowhere now, but just in case we've got it for you) revealed quite a few juicy bits about Resident Evil 5. Do you remember the new female character seen in Famitsu scans? She's guided by AI when playing solo, but like in Army of Two, if you're online, anyone can jump in at any time and play some co-op with you.

Also revealed to return is the "Mercenaries" mini-game from Resident Evil 4. A few more features/tweaks were mentioned as well: still no strafing, but a cover system has been implemented so you can press against walls and/or shoot around corners. You can now also dodge and duck using the right analog stick.

Stop now if you don't want to read any spoilers at all about the game. We don't want to write them, but we feel obligated to. Consider a small part of us dying as we type these. The game takes place in a small African country near a line of active volcanoes stretched across Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Volcanic activity is what unleashes the virus upon the masses. Classic characters abound -- Sherry Birkin and Albert Wesker have been confirmed -- with playable flashbacks to fill in some story bits otherwise untold.

Look for the game in 2009, the preview concludes. We said it would be out in fiscal year '08, which goes into March of '09. So, look for the game in March. Then delayed to September. Just kidding!

In March, we posted a rumor on how Resident Evil 5 was expected to hit as early as October (possibly Halloween). This was in support of the rumor that released in April's issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Well, we've received an update from our source stating that Capcom has now pushed the title back to release in November.

We've also been told that Sherry Birkin (the young girl who assisted Claire Redfield in Resident Evil 2) will play a role in Resident Evil 5. Since the game takes place 10 years after Resident Evil 2, that puts Birkin at about 22yrs. Old – the perfect age for killing zombies.

Could she be the second playable character for the rumored Co-op? Only time will tell, however, this role may be reserved for the female mercenary recently shown in Japan’s Famitsu magazine.

With a new trailer set to debut May 31st, we hope some of these rumors will be answered. Stay tuned to PSU.com for more information.

UPDATE:

A mysterious countdown has recently surfaced on Resident Evil's official website.

UGO has landed an interview with Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi to discuss the upcoming survival horror sequel. Takeuchi begins by defending the RE5 team's decision to use Africa as a backdrop, insisting it is not a race issue. In fact, Chris will not even leave Africa for the entirety of the game. Gameplay-wise, he tells us in the current version of the game, it will allow you to "switch weapons in real time but we can't 100% confirm that that's how the final game will end up." Another gameplay element highlighted is destructible environments -- seemingly safe hiding places can be eliminated by getting knocked down.

Takeuchi also speaks of utilizing next-gen console technology to create "bright, outdoor environments" with an "action-based, a different kind of horror." Quick-time events will also remain in the game, but will "be much more active." Takeuchi then teases everyone by glancing at a PR representative when asked about a co-op mode and responding with "Right now I don't have anything to say about that. All I can say is just wait for E3." He is right, we can't wait for E3 to find out more!

So it seems the tag-along character is actually going to be useful and hopefully less annoying this time.

By the way, where did you find those?

Wow....just...WOW! I can't wait for this!

So it seems the tag-along character is actually going to be useful and hopefully less annoying this time. Why can't 2009 be over with already...

By the way, where did you find those?

Speaking to Eurogamer, producer Jun Takeuchi hinted that a playable demo of Resident Evil 5 will be announced soon. Hopefully, that demo will include co-op play when it finally comes our way. Takeuchi had also said that DLC for RE5 is also "possible," but did not disclose whether Capcom is actually working on it.

One thing in particular for PS3 owners, Takeuchi suggests that Capcom has opted not to include a mandatory install for Resident Evil 5. The company has noted that consumer's Majini-like reaction to Devil May Cry 4's space-eating install and are changing their ways. "We're still working on those technical elements in the last couple of months, but we can tell you that if users are dissatisfied with that kind of thing, then it's certainly something we keep in mind when we develop," said Takeuchi. Resident Evil 5 is four months away and will release on March 13, 2009.
