[UPDATE] Resident Evil 5 now due out in November?

Posted on May 26th, 2008 at 06:58 EDT

In March, we posted a rumor on how Resident Evil 5 was expected to hit as early as October (possibly Halloween). This was in support of the rumor that released in April's issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Well, we've received an update from our source stating that Capcom has now pushed the title back to release in November.

 



We've also been told that Sherry Birkin (the young girl who assisted Claire Redfield in Resident Evil 2) will play a role in Resident Evil 5. Since the game takes place 10 years after Resident Evil 2, that puts Birkin at about 22yrs. Old – the perfect age for killing zombies.

Could she be the second playable character for the rumored Co-op? Only time will tell, however, this role may be reserved for the female mercenary recently shown in Japan’s Famitsu magazine.

With a new trailer set to debut May 31st, we hope some of these rumors will be answered. Stay tuned to PSU.com for more information.

UPDATE:

A mysterious countdown has recently surfaced on Resident Evil's official website.

 

 

Make of it what you will, but we're betting it has something to do with the aforementioned trailer on May 31. Stay tuned.

that is one ugly screen shot on their site...

 

 

I hate when games look so good when they're shown... and then you notice all the ugly things. It kinda makes me lose the hype I had. ugh...

If you actually bother to look at the site, you will see that it is not a screen shot, but either a live feed video, or a very long pre-recorded loop..
 
I have watched this and seen a human/zombie type being walking arround past the camera

This is interesting. Resident Evil is one of the best series I've played. I remember when it came out on GameCube. It was crappy camera angles but that was it. The playstation ones were far better.

I am 41 and usually the sports guy,  I got divorced and bought a wii and the umbrella cronicals,  thought it was cool.  so I got RE4,  fricken awsome. I found out RE5 was on PS3,  so I went out and got one and pre orded RE5.  I played RE4 24 hours straight.   RE5 lookes even better than RE4.  the sooner the better.  needless to say I will be out of the office for a couple days.
