Didn't Capcom recently say that the lead platform for RE5 was the PC? If so, why is there PC version of RE5 listed here on GS? I also checked IGN and they didn't have one either. So is it coming to PC? I hope so...
ya when that rumor popped around for a lil bit, they were just using a pc tool kit or w/e but hey, look at history, every resident evil of the main series came out on pc, so i think it will come out again for pc, and it should be an excellent version with the way DMC4 turned out on the PC
I'm pretty sure it'll happen and it'll probably be pretty good on PC too. RE 1-4 have been on PC, and their porting jobs have been so much better (see DMC4)

Capcom, surprisingly, is one of the best PC porters in the industry, as of now.
Once the console version makes enough profit, they'll releae the PC version. They make the profit first becuase the PC version will be heavily pirated.

Then what's the point of releasing a pc version if it isn't going to make a profit? :S. Also I'm pretty sure we are going to see those pirates get to teh 360 version before the game releases :)
every single game is first made on PC and then ported to consoles... thats why its easier to develop for the 360; the architecture is similar.Inger1
Not really... Most games are written on the PC and then put into the consoles via dev kits. They never actually build a PC version of the game.
Capcom does PC Lead platform development on all games using their MT Framework Engine. This means that they build and run the game on PC hardware and then port to consoles from there. The result is a lower overall development cost because the overall toolsets provided on PC are much more fully featured and robust.
