Capcom has announced a March 12, 2009 release date for Resident Evil 5 in Japan and March 13, 2009 date for North America and Europe at Microsoft's E3 press conference. Also announced was the fact that the game will feature online cooperative play. Players will be able to hop-in-and-out to play. The cooperative mode will allow teams to play together to do moves that you couldn't get past by yourself.

Not making fun of Digi, but the IGN article and whoever edits them, it clearly reads the Capcom announced March 12 2009 in Japan and March 13 2008 in North America/Europe.
 
Wow what a piece of crap. It's just like RE4 except in Africa with online coop.

Graphics aren't as good as I thought they would be, it does make a wii port seem more possible though, which is good because the RE4 wii controls were made of win :)

RE4 was a huge success and incredibly well received. Why would Capcom change such a winning formula? Co-op makes it so much better.

Again, do not go by the video that Jimbo linked, it's compressed to all hell and makes the game look like shit. Take a look at the trailer I linked. That's what the game will actually look like. The Wii has no chance in hell of running this.

So what? By that logic, I find it funny you calling most of the Rock Band 2 playlist ''mostly shit'' when most of the bands on the playlist are widely considered to be great bands. :p Note: because so many people say it's this and that doesn't make it good or bad.

I, for one, am not a fan of Resident Evil 4 (I'm actually annoyed that I can't enjoy it even though I've tried three times now) and I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Resi 5 videos.
 
gameplay demo felt short but that trailer was good
 
So, are they still in Africa or where ever shooting black people or did they change that for the sake of political corectness?
I could care less, as I'm probably not going to buy this game either way.
 
Still in Africa, but it looks as though they've added some white zombies mixed in with the black.
 
I think the gameplay looks fun but animations look awful, same stupid canned animations from RE4 and no ragdolls of any kind.. Capcom need to get with the times.

I think he was commenting on how much it looks like resident evil 4. So it's more like saying "this big mac is tastey but this big mac is shit".
 
Looks great. Notice as well that the "zombies" (or w/e they are in this one) were armed as well, lending some credence to the rumours of a cover mechanic being in. The same rumours that said there would be online coop.
 
Does anyone else just really really wish Capcom would make RE titles first-person shooters? I think I remember them trying this once before, but everytime I've played RE4, and now after seeing the RE5 trailer, I could really see both games being wonderful FPS titles. It's not that I hate the shoulder-cam, I've just always had an FPS fetish as most of us here do.

That said, I do sort of get the impression of copy-and-paste, but hey, no problem, the game's still in development, and there's nothing wrong with reusing assets. I think the co-op play might be a little shoehorned in, because Resident Evil is still meant to be a bit of a survival horror type game, and tension in Resident Evil 4 is quite high despite the action elements. Having a buddy along for the ride the whole time... is that going to make it too silly and action-oriented, I wonder?

Considered one of the best by who? I loved playing RE4 but good god there are some serious flaws in that game. The character controls are still terrible, overuse of inventory and I'll bet there are pornos with better plots. That said, I really enjoyed my time (re)playing it. But it's a far cry from being considered one of the best games ever.

I do somewhat agree with your comment about coop ruining part of the RE atmosphere though. To be fair, the direction they're taking the games really takes away any of the 'fear' factor that previous RE's had. However, I think most logical people will finish the game on single player first to enjoy the game the way it's meant to be played before playing coop. In which case, the coop will help add-on extra replayability and that's awesome in my book.

As for having a buddy making the more action orientated... well, if RE4 is anything to go by, the series has already shifted from survival-horror into a full fledged action game.

I know this is a longshot but any news on a pc release date?
 
Wow, wasnt that hyped for it from the older trailers. But watching the gameplay, it looks amazing. The hit the feel right on the spot.

Umbrella Chronicles.
It's as close as you'll get anyway.
 
resident evil wouldnt be the same in first person
 
"Gee Logicman is it logical to claim a game you've never played will be the best game ever made?" - Sonny

"No Sonny, no it is not." - Logicman
 
Left4Dead defies Logicman!

That's right, I'm bringing up a different zombie game
 
one thing I havent noticed is that resident evil induces drugs consume

c'mon you get healed whit "herbs",and when you mix them the icon change to the smahed herbs on a white squared paper

I guess someone should have noticed
