@Shiryu:

Resident Evil 5 : All Play

MuppetChrist

@BritBloke916: Well, fix that when you can! Either way; 5 looks like a well primed updated resi 4 anyway!

syl1985

The delay allowed them to add puzzle block dropping cart racing, with stealth elements. I'll buy it.

@BritBloke916: You never played Resi 4? Find some way to rectify this... it is one of the finest, slickest, most exciting games ever made!

Ungruntled

I wish for nothign but the best for Capcom's Resident Evil series. Just remember we Wii (pun not intended) owners also liek to get our zombie fix. "Dead Rising" better not be the last game using the RE4 engine.

Shiryu

Why are we just now going nuts for the dirt bike thing?

That was in the trailer released a long time ago.

AnEternalEnigma

@EvilFiek: Agreed, I think they're lowballing themselves. It's RE5.

CitizenInsane27

@EvilFiek: 2-3 million, of course.

EvilFiek

Considering that the game is multiplattform etc. I would expect it to sell at least 4-5 million in 2009. 2-3 sounds a bit low in my opinion considering the hype and the sales of RE4.

EvilFiek

Well, I never played Resi 4, so I might well pick this up for PS3. Gotta love zombies.

@jackd4y: At the very starting of Resident Evil 4, an overvoice of Leon says:

"It was right before I was to take on my duties of protecting
the president's daughter when she was abducted. That's the ultimate reason I'm in this lonely, rural part of Europe. According to our intelligence, there's reliable information of a sighting of a girl that looks very similar to the
president's daughter. Apparently she's being witheld by some unidentified group of people. Who would have thought my first job would be a rescue mission?"

It's told pretty blatantly, actually.

They are really lowballing themselves; it's on the PS3 and 360 and it's coming out after the holiday season (first big release for 2009), and lastly, IT'S THE SEQUEL TO RE4 AND LOOKS AMAZING!

syl1985

@jackd4y: Durrrr... Umbrella corp... durrr!

syl1985

i hope everything gets explained why things are like this in africa....to this day i dont know why i was killing zombie like spaniards in re4.

jackd4y

@jocaju: Resi 5 > Killzone 2. One has to factor in the stronger previews so far and the fact it's multiformat. I'm not stoked about Killzone 2. Resi 5 has me drooling every time I see a video.

Gene-ius

@syl1985: The first big realese of 2009 is Killzone 2. Also, I think 2-3 million is a good number, remember RE4 in 4 platform(GC, PS2, PC and Wii) sold a little over 4 million.

jocaju

@CitizenInsane27: I don't know, RE4 sold a little be more than 4 million to date and that including GC, PS2, PC and Wii. Even RE2 outsold RE4.

jocaju

Is SPLITSCREEN / SINGLE-CONSOLE CO-OP really confirmed or what?!!

*~*

Gigaheart

@jocaju: Well it sold more than 2 million on PS2 alone, the Wii Verion itself(and that was just a port) sold over a million. I think that sales of 2 million on each plattform are realistic. (Also don't forget, Dead Rising, for example, sold over a million on 360 and that was a completely new IP with a similiar subject matter).

EvilFiek

This game makes me salivate.

cio

@dowingba: It is also explained that the Spaniards unearthed a parasitic organism whilst mining...possibly for Spinels...explaining why the Spanish villagers were "acting up". Seems to me that @jackd4y: doesn't read the files that they pick up in game! :)

ThursdayNext

You know I'd be set if it came packed with some sort of snack. I'll just be happy it will be in my hands on release day.

휘성

@EvilFiek: It's better if they aim low then smash their goal then aim high and not quite hit it (Remember this: "GTA IV only sold 10 million!?")

mfwahwah

@Gene-ius: And yet, it's still a "big release" whether or not you are stoked.

dowingba

Please please please put The Mercenaries in!

MegamanPhantom

@dowingba: I didn't say it wasn't. Trying to say Killzone 2 isn't a big release is like trying to say FFXIII won't be a big release: it's not true. But neither is it a concrete state: something does not become a 'big release' and remain on the same level as everything else which has attained the status of 'big release'. Some releases are simply bigger than others. And for the reasons given - namely the multiformat release and the stronger preview focus - I'd put money on Resi 5 being a more noteworthy and notable release than Killzone 2.

Gene-ius

@Shiryu: Capcom is too busy releasing Wii-makes of Resident Evil Remake (GC game).

roylink

I don't know about their expectations... Missing the Christmas period is a hard hit for ANYONE in retail...

iam.gmo

@iam.gmo: Whatever date this is actually released, will be Christmas again!!!

Or maybe that's just me because i will be giggling laughing to myself as i unwrap this game to play

ASchwarzenegger

@BritBloke916:
I'll be picking this up for the PS3 to. Do any of you guys know if it will have Trophies?

Ghostm

@Shiryu: Do yourself a favor and get a 360. (if you can)

TheGuilty1

@BritBloke916:
Do yourself a favor and go play RE4...NOW. It's only one of the greatest games of all time (IMO).

Oh, and zombie dirt bikes ftw.

y2kenjination

Missing Christmas is horrible for any game, that's true. However, Christmas is usually a crowded affair, even for a big name like Resident Evil. Why compete with Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Fable II, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, SOCOM: Confrontaton, LittleBigPlanet, or Rock Band 2/GH: World Tour when you can have March all to yourself?

Smash was delayed until March, and it friggin' dominated, at least until the GTAIV juggernaut awoke in April. But yeah, outside of Street Fighter IV, there's no real competition for a triple AAA title like RE5 to worry about in March. Huge sales are guaranteed.
