"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.

Leon rocked! Although shoulda taken the oppurtunity at the end of Resi 4 to properly bone Ashley over the side of the jet-ski like she was hinting at.

Anyway, is that confirmed that is Chris? It doesn't look a lot like him..

Good to see the return of Chris Redfield. Would rather play as the original hero and survivor than the poncey, girly haired Leon.

wont be out for AGES tho, and look how different 4 was compaired to the walking past the fans 1st trailor. i really did think the illness was gonna play a more vital part of 4, maybe like special powers etc.

Here's the footage if anyone wants:

They appear to be ... *gulp* ... sprinting.

I wonder why ...

is there realy a resident evil 5 i have not heard of that yet

Well according to SEGA they haven't seen anything of it yet. So Capcom probably don't have any dev kits.

Meh, I'm getting a 360 anyway, so I'm not too bothered if Resi 5 isn't going to appear on the Revolution.

I think there's a chance it will, because Capcom aren't going to announce a game for a console which is pretty much non-existent right now. No specs, no controller, and not even a finalised design? You can see why they haven't.

Don't care for graphics and I'll get it anyway.

But it looks very similar to RE4... not "much better". Theres a bit more detail and the world looks more realistic (just a bit) but I'd say the game was looking just under twice as good as RE4 at the moment. If these are really PS3 and 360 graphics then Nintendo shouldn't worry.

Pfft, graphics junkies...

It'll be great.
