We all thought it was silly, but heck it actually looks like a reality now, the lead that Sony gained this year has been pretty much eaten away with MS soon likely to take the lead. Another thing fanboys didnt understand was that in 07, Sony was selling loads of consoles in Japan, so it was another reason as to how the PS3 'destroyed' the 360 in its first year in sales

Then offcourse, 'teh XBOX 360 is teh doomed!.' Lets get this straight, it doesnt matter where Nintendo, Sony and especially MS finish, first, second or last, long as they make their money. To MS, the 360 is a huge success, and in some areas there is cause for concerns, but at this rate, its going to sell around 40-50 million units with further price cuts, slimmer model and offcourse big exclusives to go that will keep sales affloat.

MS are now making a profit, a healthy one too, Sony on the other hand arent, far from it, but they have established much in their own right like the phat Blu-Ray royalties theyll be getting for the next decade or so and offcourse, the PS3 has taken off this year.

So in other words fanboys, dont make such silly claims until this gen is over, any console, especially given the behemoths that are supporting them, has the ability to do well and none of them are doomed

Hmmmm.....so Rebecca might be in this one? It would make sense, she did help Chris in the first RE.dragonpuppy

I found this over at the Tomb Raider forums, Discuss whatcha think.

So apparently EGM magazine will have a big Resident Evil 5 feature in their next issue and some fan has managed to get a hold of it and leak it out onto a night where it has begun appearing on certain forums. Thing is, we know that this isn't just fan ravings as we'll explain at the end. But first, here's what we can tell you about the information that allegedly will appear across the five page feature.

- The story will who Chris Redfield really is, what he has been doing for the past ten years and the nature of his relationships with the other characters.
- Chris Redfield helped establish the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) after the Raccoon City incident in 1998.
- Much of the story will be told as flashbacks.
- The BSAA has branches all over the world, but the executive decisions – like sending Chris to Africa – are made from the USA.
- Sheva Alomar is part of the West African branch of the BSAA
- Weapons are supplied to Chris and Sheva by Kralin, an ex-BSAA member who is attempting to flee the city with the BirdWoman.
- The guy with the megaphone in the trailer is the richest man in the village and so be default their leader. He is funding the construction seen.
- Wesker will appear about 5% into the game.
- Sherry Birkin will appear in substantially more of the game.
- The following characters will not appear in the game: Jill, Barry, Claire, Billy and Leon.
- Chris and Sheva will face many relationship difficulties.
- The game will take 15 hours to finish and will have 8 hours of cut-scenes… hopefully in addition to the 15 hours.

Capcom want Resident Evil 5 to be the best looking game of 2009 (we can tell you now it won't be)
- There is a big emphasis on puzzles, many of which a co-op based.
- Co-op drop in and drop-out is confirmed.
- There will be one hour of solo Chris gameplay before you meet Sheva (bags being Chris!)
- No mirages and heat/cold features in the game.
- Flashbacks are not playable (hence 8 hours of cut-scenes, we guess)
- There are 30 weapons in the game, 20 for Chris and 10 for Sheva (seriously, bags being Chris)
- You can use the chainsaw, once you have acquired it from the final fight with Moreso.

(No disrespect to MGS, I'm a big fan)

And you can use a bloody chainsaw? What is this, Gear of War?

(uh...yea)

That's good and bad imo, this is really not a true Resident Evil game anymore :

They're really done a lot of things that have annoyed me :(

Although having said that, I'll probably still get it.

Oh and if Steve is in it, I will burn the disc.

I am extremely hyped about RE:5. I went back to play RE:2 just the other nite. Besides the visuals that hurt my eyes and the odd controls I still love the game. It is funny how you can remember what to do and where to go even after not playing the game for years. I am wondering if there is any RE games that you can buy packed together. I would love to have the RE remake for the Wii but it looks like it is only going to be releasing in Japan. Is the remake for GameCube the same game?

I found a few collections on amazon:
• 10th Anniversary which comes with RE:4, RE remake, and RE:0 all for the GC which will work on the Wii
• Pure-Evil 2 Pack which comes with RE remake, and RE:0 for the GC
• RE Essentials which comes with RE:4, RE: Code Veronica X, and RE: Outbreak

Does any have any information on a possible remake of RE:1 for the Wii to be released in the USA?
Also, is there any plans to release all the main titles in the game together?

[QUOTE="GreyFoXX4"]Gears isn't a fps. Hmmm to you have a 360 or just the need to add to the list lol.poptart

There's little distiniction betwen an FPS and TPS. Come on - we both know that. The only differnece is that you see a head/body on the screen or you don't. The mechanics are the same. Let's not be facetious...

The N64 had Goldeneye, Turok and Perfect Dark.

The xbox had Halo and Riddick.

The 360 of course has GeoW

The PC has had more than its fair share of FPS's.

Is the hype around Killzone 2 from PS owners really born out of the fact they've rarely experienced a decent FPS, or is it deservedly hyped as a benchmark in console gaming?

[QUOTE="Salt_The_Fries"]Thread. And maybe I'd even consider buying PS3.st1ka

They must :D

Also they should do a next gen Spyro, Crash, Syphon Filter, Future Cop L.A.P.D (omg I love that game), Dino Crisis and Nightmare Creatures.

My dad would faint from nostalgia :p

future cop is from EA

dico crisis is from capcom

nightmare creatures is from the now defunct kalisto

Way to crush my gaming dreams :X

I read somewhere that NMC3 is either planned or in development, I bloody hope so.

Seriously, it's not like it's titled "Moon Knight Chronicles" yet it's hyped to the heavens. And speaking of which, I'd rather have "Moon Knight Chronicles" instead. Can someone explain this phenomenon to me?Salt_The_Fries

So...you don't like the name?
