According to rumors in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Capcom plans to release Resident Evil 5 before/during the holiday season of this year.
Now we would just say that this could be an April Fools Joke to get fans riled up; however, PSU has heard from our own sources that this is true. We were told that not only will Resident Evil 5 be in stores by the holidays, but could be on shelves as soon as October.
Due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil 5 is set ten years after the events of the original game, with players assuming control of former S.T.A.R.S Marksman, Chris Redfield.
Now working for an organisation known as ‘BSAA’, Redfield is dispatched to investigate an isolated village in the African desert, where he soon discovers that the locals have become infected by an unknown plague or virus, turning them into relentless, malevolent killers.
As with its predecessor, Resident Evil 5 uses an over-the-shoulder perspective to allow for precision aiming, and also incorporates the use of melee attacks, such as the ability to punch your opponent, knocking them to the ground. Various weapons such as the handgun, Shotgun, Assault Rifle have also been confirmed, though much of the game’s plot and gameplay remains unknown.
Expect more details on Resident Evil 5 to crop up over the next few months.

I dunno, I don't like overloads of games. I already feel like Haze, RFOM2 and Killzone 2 are all gonna compete against each other and in the end none of them will be the Halo killer because the PS3 community will be split up between all three of them. Hopefully this wont go up against anything major for Sony. Will go up against Gears though. Not really RFOM2 since they are different types of games.

Well, I havent played any of the Resident Evil games, and I haven't played any other Survival Horror games, but I'm thinking about giving this game a chance. For some reason I've just never seen anything special about Horror survival games, but I do plan on buying Dead Space this year, so I might as well give Resident Evil 5 a chance.

Anyway, I'm not getting my hopes up. This may be the year of the PlayStation but that won't stop delays. Expect 'em. I'll be the first to call it. Delayed until 2009.

And who Photoshop'd that image? Not even the same font. Shame...
