Takeuchi spills some bloody Resident Evil 5 info (rawr)

supposed protagonist in RE5


We haven't smelled any decaying Umbrella Corp. corpses for quite some time now. Capcom might be going all hushy-hushy on us about Resident Evil 5, but worry you not. Jun Takeuchi just spilled some zombie juice on the much-awaited sequel, and it's anything but decaying corpses.

He's pitching that this next RE installment that's coming out for both the 360 and PS3 could only possibly be available by 2008. "Ouch," you might be saying. That really is a long wait, indeed. However, the wait could just be worth it. Takeuchi states that Capcom wants the picture rate to run on 60fps. Lovely.

The engine they're using makes it possible for them to produce realistic facial expressions and animations. They're even boasting of some good hair days for the characters as each strand of hair would be modelled from root to tip!

Takeuchi reveals that RE5 would have more interactive environments this time around - much more interactive than its predecessors. More than this, he even hints that hot and cold temperatures would play a crucial element in the gameplay. The temperature of your surroundings would supposedly determine your character's stability.

If all this is any indication, then 2008 doesn't seem all that bad. Why? Would you want Capcom to release a stale corpse of a game, or would you rather have them come out with a zombie feast that's minced to perfection?

2008....thats days from now.



well i think saying that it will be out in 2008 is better than saying fall 2007....then delaying it to 2008.

it will still be delayed. As long as it's good, the wait is worth it.

# halo 3Guest 2006-12-21 11:02
no wonder all the games want to avoid competing with halo 3 wich will be relaced in nov 2007.so i think most of the games which are due to nov 2007 will be pushed back

it seems like how resident evil seems more compatible with playstation from how it released first on playstation its just strange for it to be on other consoles but its whatever foats everyones floated boat.

the best RE game to date (IMO) was for gamecube originally.

i believe FF was first on NES, that migrated to Sony nicely

Resident Evil was Sony's baby from day one, no one had the balls to release it. The Best Resident Evil game was part two. It was the closest thing to a George Romero movie!!! Resident Evil without zombies is like a Ferrari without wheels!!

# Whaaa?Guest 2006-12-21 14:34
dude, if they're going be model each strand of hair, this means ONLY the PS3 could handle it. 360's characters are all still current gen blocky, attached cloths and shiny skin~!!



LMFAO

RE5 + PS2 = best game ever.



we all know 2008 means late 2009, but im sure it will be worth the wait

That no one company name will have the full series. Nintendo will have the most of all seeing that that the GC got 1, 2, 3, 4 and the GC only RE: Zero which really was a pretty good addition to the series.



None the less I will gladly wait 2 years for RE: 5 just because 4 was so breathtaking I want them to have all the time they need to make 5 all that it can be.

I wouldn't say that. There's a big difference in quality from company to company. Capcom is a big one, so this is something they'll have to pull off. Now whether characters have block polygon hair on Everybodys golf 586 and Tony Hawk 99 is another story.

# STFU!!!!Guest 2006-12-21 17:43
KING your talking about games on xbox 360 looking like current gen. Your a f_cking idiot. Take a look at the bull***** games that are on the ps3 and then you can come back and run your c_ck sucker. Xbox 360 has a game called GEARS OF WAR and it looks alot better than any game on the ps3 and to compare it to current gen. You might wanna go get your damn head checked. Anyways xbox 360 has more memory and a better GPU than the ps3. So if anything I am wondering if they will have to dumb down the version of RE5 on the ps3. Which they have had to do on Tony Hawk, Fight Night Round 3 etc........ So go ahead KING take a look around your ps3 army is getting slimmer and slimmer

So your saying companies won't want to release their games in the holiday season when the most games are sold, but rather sometime afterwords?



Basically your saying this company rather sell it's product in a luke warm market rather than a hot market.

# Enough already.Guest 2006-12-21 22:05
It was one thing to make these kind of comments before the PS3 was launched. But now it has been launched, it's games are no better looking than 360 games, far from blowing it away as fanboys like yourself were predicting (and fanboys who selected 'I like this comment' for your post).



This is not surprising because both consoles are similar in terms of power, therefore RE5 will look just as good on both consoles.

It's funny cause your comparing titles that have a massive time gap, wait till a title has been released a year after the PS3 and then compare it to GOW. Surely that would make it fair, if GOW was a Xbox release and then you compared it to resistance and GOW was graphically better than i'd hand it to you, but no, sorry

# GEARS OF WARGuest 2006-12-21 22:19
The game looks great but how dumb is it when all you have to do is sit in a spot to get healed, especially in a FPS!! Why do all the characters in the game look like Macho Man Randy Savage......

# Well yes for GOW but...Guest 2006-12-21 22:26
>"It's funny cause your comparing titles that have a massive time gap"



...for multiplatform titles developed for both consoles (i.e. not ports), there's little difference between the two consoles, with the 360 looking and performing better in many cases (Gamespot, 1Up and others have done comparisons).



Also, it mustn't be forgotten that the PS3 was delayed by 6-9 months, since it was originally due to launch in the spring. Just look at the games released on the 360 6-9 months after launch. 6-9 months can make a big difference.



Therefore we can't pretend this delay hasn't had a beneficial effect on PS3 launch games, and so the comparison isn't as simple as comparing launch games either.



After E3 2005, and for over a year afterwards, many gamers were insisting that the PS3 was twice as powerful as the 360, but the current games prove that idea to be wrong, since even if you took everything into account, there's no way several multiplatform games will look and run better on the 360 if this was true. The PS3 is slightly more powerful overall, but not enough to make a big difference.



Still, there's a lot more to come from each console, and so the best graphics will come mostly from exclusive games built from the ground up on each console.

# ugh....that Over-Hyped game againGuest 2006-12-22 00:05
i hate to say this.....but judging from the images of the latest halo3 trailer.....the game is awfully hyped.



xbox fans has already stated that the game is graphically far inferior than even Gears of War...and although the trailer was an alpha stage.....it is still dissapointing.



oh well.....it is microsofts way to creat a hype from everything....reminds me of the xbox one....microsoft called it a [Nuclear reactor]....and..well... :)



i played halo one on my pc.....with all do respect....i do not understand why it was so hyped....it wasnt a bad game...but heck....there are faaar superior shooters.....even halo,s lead designer in an interview with IGN...clearly said that the reason for Halo,s succes...was..wait for it....TIMING...not the game...but [timing].



he said if the game was released on another system....it would have never gained that attention...hes pretty honest.



oh well.....wish i could do something....but..never mind. :D

# WARNING ALERT:ATTENTION ALLGuest 2006-12-22 00:22
this has to be said straigth forward.



Gamespot was sponsored by MSN to advertize for microsoft....that site..[is completely Biased towards microsoft].



it never posts good ps3 news....it always give ps3 games terrible scores....even NBA2K7...which was superior than the xbox360 version was given a lower score....same for full auto 2..which is far better than the 360 version yet was given 5.7..!!



the same goes for 1UP...completly biased...they didnt even REVIEW NBA2K7 for the ps3.



Finally....for Gears of war..i,l make it short.



to propely understan how long this game was in development.....then you have to understand that this games Uses the UnrealEngine 3 [i believe most of you already know].



it means that the games technical prowess comes from the engine......NOW...that engine has been in developmet...pay attention....before the xbox360 was even announced...waaaay before the ps3.



what EPIC did...is simply tune the already years in devlopment engine for the 360....thus actual development for GOW can be said to be more than 4 years...



even with that...the game is reported to have considerable slowdown in multi-player gaming...[even though its only 8 players]...which suggests that the game is pushing the 360 greatly



there may be room for improvment....but i dont think they can go too much further.



in the end...its important to say that the UE3 is OPENGL based.....meaning that it will work [Better on the ps3 than the 360]...since it has an nvidia GPU....and nvidia is known to have superior performance in opengl...



well..that all....wish i can talk more but... :D

"i played halo one on my pc.....with all do respect....i do not understand why it was so hyped....it wasnt a bad game...but heck....there are faaar superior shooters"



Firstly, the PC port was 2 years later! It wasn't even a very good port, so it's hardly the best way to judge a game. Resistance is a good FPS for example, but two years from now there will be FPSs on the PS3 that would make RFoM look VERY average.



Secondly, Halo was noted for being the first FPS to pull so many different elements together seamlessly into one game. No PC FPS in November 2001, had a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor environments, excellent physics, vehicles (both land and air) with superb driving models, and such advanced AI for the enemy (even better than Half-life).



I'd played and finished Half-life on the PC long before and it was my favourate FPS, until I played Halo.



So imo, Halo is far from over-hyped. Oh and, I value Halo for the gameplay, not the graphics!



And Halo's lead designer did not say it's ONLY about timing. You remind me of the idiots who say the Playstation's success was all down to timing and luck. Well yes, there were factors which swung it in Sony's favour, but without a great console to begin with, Sony would not have been able to capitalise on the opportunity. The same with Halo, if it wasn't a great FPS, then no amount of 'timing' would have made it the success it was.

"Gamespot was sponsored by MSN to advertize for microsoft....that site..[is completely Biased towards microsoft]."



Which is why Gamespot were one of the few to go so crazy over the PS3 during E3 2005 that they believed the Killzone trailer was realtime (because a Sony rep told them).



Gamespot are not biased towards one console. A year ago, it was the opposite, with XBox fanboys claiming GS were bias towards Sony, because of all the reports and previews. This changed after E3 2006 when the benefit of the doubt many gave towards the PS3 evaporated into the harsh reality.



"the same goes for 1UP...completly biased...they didnt even REVIEW NBA2K7 for the ps3"



Whenever a website doesn't say the things gamers want to read, they immediately cry out 'BIAS'. Pathetic.

lmao, unreal engine hasnt been opengl based since unreal 1, it has opengl codepaths, but also 3dfx codepaths back in the day, now unreal engine is optimized for directx ( ut2k3 is soo poor in opengl), unreal engine and the source engine are both engine that run best on directx, you are probably mistaken with the quake/doom3 engine, which is opengl based ( prey uses it).



i dont really care that much about the delay for re5, cause it will be an outstanding game, even more so at 60fps, but it would be cool if they would up res RE4 a bit and release that for next gen as well, so we have some "next" gen RE to play in 2007 at least, meh, they dont even have to up res it xD

XBOX 360's HDTV kills PS3. At least in Fight Night it did. Gears of War knocked the PS3 to the ground... Halo 3 will complete the execution.
