"Bye Bye Resident Evil"

Via the latest edition of Famitsu magazine it has been revealed that Resident Evil 5, the anticipated follow up to the fantastic Gamecube survival horror, will be appearing on the Playstation 3 and X-box 360.

It is not a massive suprise considering Nintendo's new direction for gaming. There is also no confirmation that there won't be a Revolution version of the game... just Capcom, as of yet, know little about the system and how the game would work (well they probably know more than you and I).

Further compounds the need for two consoles for Nintendo fans still craving the usual gaming experience. I've already decided to pick up an X-box 360 this Christmas but naturally the Revolution is still top of my list.

Here's to the future.

By the sounds of NOA's comment it looks like the reason RE5 hasn't been unveiled on Revolution is because it is being held back until Revolution's full unveiling.

Which, actually, makes a lot of sense.

resident evil in the desert? mutant camels?

mutant arabs :O:O

It's bad marketing to me.

Every day Nintendo wait to prolong the announcment of Revolution is another day where people only really aware of the Xbox 360 and PS3 choose between the only two next-gen systems they know of.

It may also be a bad move because prolonging the release of information does nothing but create hype and force speculation. What if it turns out to be nowhere near as good as everyone hoped and the mystery was for nothing?

Would be a disaster for Nintendo...

I think you'll find, although clearly in competition, that Nintendo plan their new system to overthrow anything Sony and Microsoft have planned.

So when they reveal it doesn't really matter too much.

Just a slight dissillusioned pain.

I believe that Nintendo did the right thing by not showing Revolution properly at E3, but people are only going to wait for so long before becoming bored.

Unless they show what it can do soon, their whole 'secretive' plan may back-fire on them.
