Also Dead Rising coming Summer 2006.

Capcom plans to release its latest horror-survival game on two consoles at once, a first for the series.

In an interview published in Xbox360ism (a special edition of Dorimaga), Capcom Research & Development division chief Keiji Inafune said he expects Resident Evil 5 to be released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 if possible.

"We want to grow the Resident Evil series into a multi-platform franchise, so we hope to release it simultaneously [on the two next-generation consoles]," Inafune told Xbox360ism. "But since we don't know the launch period for the PS3 yet, so it's hard to say [if we can]."

Inafune also revealed that Microsoft initially asked Capcom to make an original Xbox 360 title catered toward the taste of the Japanese consumers, but the third-party publisher declined. Inafune stated that Capcom's aim is to release games that will be a global hit, regardless of whether it's for the Xbox 360 or PS3.

Am I wrong or did RE come out Playstation and Saturn at around the same time?

 

[Deg]

Looks like the big games wont come out till PS3.

Goodbye Resident Evil: Umbrella Revolution

 

[monkeyrun]

I am pretty sure PS3 will be launched by the time they release RE5 in 2008-2009.

 

[sangreal]

So wait. If its dependent on the PS3 launch date, does that mean RE5 is coming out next year?

Actually the article says after Summer 2006. And RE5 will have some sort of online. Make it Mercenaries please!

Does this mean Revolution will be getting Dead Aim?

Revolution will probably get a new Resident Evil spin-off altogether. Probably something a bit more fast paced given the controller.

That's some inventive quoting they've got there.

 

[teiresias]

Oh snap!! Even Capcom doesn't consider Gamecube Turbo a next-generation console!!!!

 

[dillingerx]

He forgot to mention the revolution

According to GameFAQS, it was released for Saturn a couple months before REC for PSX, and well after the original PSX version.

nope, looks like they're only focusing on the two next-generation consoles

You mean the Gamecube Dub Edition?

 

[Remedy]

i think resident evil 1 for the saturn came out long into RE2 development for the ps. I remember playing it on a friends ps and waiting ages to buy it on the saturn

 

[dorio]

Ouch.

It's interesting that they will release the 360 version even if the ps3 isn't out yet.

 

[callous]

FOR THE GOOD OF THE INDUSTRY!

I dunno. Just felt like saying it.

 

[ToxicAdam]

How many RE5 screenshot comparison threads will we have to suffer through?

 

[soundwave05]

Rev definitley won't get RE5, but it almost certainly will get some kind of RE of its own.

The Revmote would be great for mimicing items like a gun or knife and especailly a flashlight.

 

[Mrbob]

Hmm looks like the Xbox 360 version of RE5 is going to be the definitive version!

At least we won't have to wait long to have multi platform game comparisons! There will have to be an official X360/PS3/RE5 battle thread and it should be great. Not a big deal to me though as Xbox 360 version with achievments + 360 pad is FTW. Fine with me PS3 owners are getting the game too.

Yes because every single SNES and Genesis game and every Playstation and Saturn multiplatform title looked exactly the same.

If PS3 does indeed have a little more horsepower under the hood (hello 1080p), Capcom will likely utilize it.

Rev isn't next gen

You won't see a doubling of resolution with "a little more horsepower" There may be differences elsewhere though.

 

[BigBoss]

huh?

Don't bother, he'll be a PS3 fanboy again next week.

 

[teiresias]

The X360 version will be definitively subpar.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I don't expect much of a difference if any really between the X360/PS3 version, it will look amazing either way seeing this would be the first straight up RE game on next gen consoles at the same time.

Multi platform comparisons in the SNES/GENNY days ruled. I hope this comes back.

Earth Jim SNES has LENS FLARE! MK Genesis has blood!

I'm sure there will be differences but the two versions should be close. I'm joking about the definitive version so lower the defensive shields!

I think it was more like "we dont know when or if RE5 will come to Rev until we know specs"?

As it should be! I'm tired of all these cool looking games that are released in Japan, but MS will never bring to the US. It's just a retarded business model.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

they need to release this game for Revolution. The shooting mechanics introduced in Re4 would work even better than a full fledged FPS with the Revmote imo.

Instead of having to aim directly at a spot on the tv, u could hold a button to aim nad then tilt the controller. The game will take the position the controller was in when aim was first pressed and then use any alteration in that position to maneuver the laser sight. This would make it totally shell-compatable. Perfect!

I've lost contact with the snipers I sent.... duck.

No I don't think so anymore. And neither should you at this point. =(

~l2e

 

[DCharlie]

there will be no difference between the two.

you are all really impressed with the X360 version already anyways.

Nah. Make a seperate line of RE games for the Rev. That way the game can be built from scratch for the Rev.

I'd to see a RE with say DOOM 3 type graphics, everything is very dark in a mansion/forest and the Revmote is your flashlight that you shine around the screen. Hit "A" and it turns into a knife that you swipe zombies with.

That'd be cool.

[Oblivion]

This is awesome. Hopefully more third parties forget about the Rev, thus forcing Nintendo to take off the kiddy gloves.

 

[Mrbob]

I hope we don't need to see all this sobbing in the game threads by Nintendo fans over the years.


BUY A 360.

BUY A PS3.

You'll always be able to enjoy Resident Evil: Cooking with Tyrant on Revolution!

Yeah. Nintendo fans have to buy either a 360 or PS3 as well as a Revolution. I think there should be some kind of filter for gamers only owning a Revolution. Maybe a banning or seperate forum? :lol
