A rumor flared up earlier today that Resident Evil 5 (PS3, 360) will support up to 16 people for offline multiplayer.

Not gonna happen. Capcom has shot this down as an error. The rumor first started when the guys over at D+PAD spotted the erroneous info on the box art of the limited edition steelbook.

So when someone excitedly comes up to you and says RE5 will have 16 multiplayer support, tell him the news and savor the schadenfreude. Which I have enjoyed myself after sharing the news with you. It's a circle of life thing.

It says "online multiplayer 2" and people actually thought the offline would be 16 players, that just doesn't make sense.

That's what I thought; why would people see the 2 player online and the 16 player system link and believe it? Maybe just glancing it may catch you off guard, but take two seconds to look and you'll realize how silly it sounds.

They both were referring to the absurdity of having system link having 2-16 but 'online multiplayer' is listed as being maxed at 2.
