So no Persona 5 stuff? Magius is pleased.
I'm sure the next Game Informer won't have Type-0 news. Then Inirigo will be pleased as well
Insulteth not the Moejita!

But Gameinformer is the wrong place to look for Type 0 news.
And even then the news you find for it would not appeal to the majority. Keychains and Manga are all that await thee. BWA HA HA
As long as it has more Ayase.
Honestly, that's all I come to these threads for. I'm kind of surprised we haven't heard anything since TGS, considering the advertising for AJ and AAI at least had shown off a little more by now if memory serves. Maybe they're just trying to avoid doing what they did with AAI2 and showing off a ton of the game before release.
Is this another one already or still going from last issue? If this will be a weekly thing, I rather wait till someone actually finds a good 'scoop' before sharing it. It is a letdown seeing so many 'surprise' reveals from mags globally only to be ordinary announcements.
I miss the days when 'hype' actually meant hype. It is annoying that even big sites like Digital Foundry, Eurogamer, Famitsu and others treat every announcements as 'OMG revealzez!1!!' or treat rumors as 'unveilz!' and 'unma-h-skeds!1' news. WTF, seriously? Is everything N4G now?

I've never cared about Resident Evil. RE5 was somewhat fun, but do people actually follow news and announcements about those games? They're very generic and forgettable.

It was Resident Evil Revelations?
Oh well, at least Project X Zone was announced!

The series as a whole is pretty great, however it's been growing stale.
To be fair a Kamen Rider Muso very much was a real scoop and so egging that would bring the hype to the Japanese audience.
RE:R port, much less so.
Kamen Rider was in Dengeki Playstation, not Famitsu. So last week's scoop would have been Killer is Dead
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I have no interest in Resident Evil.
Last week's announcement got me really into Kamen Rider, though. Been marathoning Fourze and it's great.

Oh yeah, still remembering it being tied to Famitsu early on. Scratch what I said.
Ok AnimeGAF, you know what to do here:
Get wasted? Sounds good to me, will definitely make whatever this is a whole lot easier to dead with.
This thread is 14 pages; the last was 60+.
There was never any remarkable hype in this thread.

It's a multi-million selling series.
RE4 is considered one of the best video games of all time.
Is this actually a question?

What is this supposed to mean?
It's pointing out that even asking if people follow the series was pointless, because less then 10 seconds of searching would show how big and loved the franchise is, even if Re6 turned out badly.
It's a politer and kinder way of saying "Just because you don't follow it, what selfish opinion do you hold that would make you think others don't follow it?" I think... =p
Too bad this got leaked out some time ago, so it was hardly the "surprising" scoop Famitsu made it out to be.

What's so extraordinary about Resident Evil that justifies treating the announcement of a new episode as a scoop deserving its own teasing campaign?
You mean besides the fact that Revelations is one of the better Resident Evil games to be released in recent memory? We'll finally get to play it with a non-shit control scheme. This would be a pretty big deal if it hadn't already been leaked. :\
Fan favorite characters, story (as cheesy and bad as it is), and the sequel to. Long running and beloved franchise?
What is so extraordinary about a Halo, Final Fantasy, or Mario? Resident Evil is in the same place as they are, if a bit smaller in terms of fanbase.
there are enough interested people out there to follow it.

"Campaign" is a bit of an extreme word.

You said
I answered by asking if you were just trying to make a bad point or you were genuinely asking something very easy to actually find out and not ask incredulously.
I still can't tell but I am guessing the answer isn't flattering for you.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I dunno why people are saying Persona 5. It sure as hell isn't as hugely popular as Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, or Dragon Quest.

I still don't get it. It's not the long-awaited return of an old franchise (Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Shenmue 3, Half-Life 3), the refresh of an e-sports classic (Starcraft 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) or an ambitious, original game (Heavy Rain), so Famitsu's treatment seem blown out of proportion. I mean, it's just a freaking Resident Evil game, that's like teasing a new Mario, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy or Call of Duty. We get a new one every year, so why making it your top story like it's a big deal?
Shhhh don't let Persona gaf hear you.
Seriously though any announcement that we hear about is flooded with hopes of Persona 5. If anything it just makes me happy each time it doesn't happen because I've gotten so annoyed by it after all this time. I have the same problem with Nintendo fans and Retro and now Monolith(which sucks because I've been a long time fan and supporter of Monolith Soft.)

Because Famitsu isn't that great of a publication.
Nintendogs given a perfect score lol

Yeah, I can't imagine why a magazine would make a game in an incredibly popular, well-liked series their top story.
Those kind of announcements were less likely to be in a Famitsu article, and Team Persona games have a track record for being announced during this time of the year.
I think you were expecting too much from Famitsu. Something like Resident Evil: Revelations is what most of us were realistically expecting.
And again, you're letting your indifference cloud your opinion.

Alright, I give up.
