Resident Evil 5 Coming This Year?

Twisted | May 22, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Capcom has said that it will try to release Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 at the same time before the end of 2008. The news is from Capcom's latest financial report.
Capcom has unveiled that it plans to bring Resident Evil 5 out simultaneously for Xbox 360 and PS3 before the end of its financial year '08, which ends April.

The news comes straight out of the company's latest financial report and also lists Bionic Commando and MotoGP 08 as planned releases before the end of FY 08.

It's worth noting that the financial year ends next April. Looking back over past release dates, Resident Evil 4 came out in January and March in Japan and Europe respectively, so there is a chance is won't make the shelf before Christmas.

Even so, we can only hope. Xbox World 360 wrote in its latest preview of the game, "Throw in advanced physics that heighten the game's key themes of heat and cold (atmospherics now possible thanks to high def visuals), plus a storyline that looks to pick up after the events of Code Veronica and you have about the most eagerly-anticipated game this side of Halo 3."

We couldn't agree more.

    Highly doubt it. The game's been delayed quite a bit already, hasn't it? And fiscal year 2008 goes on until next year, as any other fiscal year for gaming. Meh, as happy as I'd be to see this game make it for this year's release, the odds are against it.

    Sure hope Capcom doesn't rush it's productioin to make ends meet.

    I thought it was supposed to be released sometime in late 09, early 2010. I personally hope for it to be released in 09 so they can polish up everything in the game. I don't want it to be a disappointment.

    I don't think it will come out THAT early... It will probably delay until next year or so...

    Well it would be lovely to hope for this but due to the amount of times it has been pushed back previously i doubht it will happen. Though it gives us something to hope for.
