The Union Square GameStop in San Francisco is throwing a big old Resident Evil 5 launch shindig on Thursday of this week, and if PR hype is to be believed, it's going to be exciting!
For one, you can pick up your copy of Resident Evil 5 at midnight. But there's more, including game tents, prize giveaways, the chance to meet the dev team, and hang out with the actors that voiced Chiris and Sheva. As the kids are saying, it's going to be "the bomb," except in this case the bomb may or may not contain the T-virus. You'll be taking your chances here.
But even if you can't make the event, there's something in this for you anyhow -- Capcom has said that it will be making "new game announcements." Yes, they're going to be announcing a new game at the Resident Evil 5 launch this week. What could it be? We were told it was a "game announcement," singular, so don't go expecting them to reveal their entire 2009 line-up.
It all kicks off Thursday, March 12 at 8 P.M., and we'll have somewhere there to cover any exciting news coming out the event. But why not speculate now -- what do you think it could be?

I hope it is a new RE game, and not a rehash.
Them Whitey humans are oppressing our black undead homies. Well no longer! We gonna eat their motherfuckin brains and waste them all! Time to fight the powah! Especially the biggest cracka hummie of them all, Chris Redfield!
Oh well, I'll see if I can't go. Here's to meeting some dtoiders if I do show up!
:D
I am a big Capcom fanboy but they love to fetch away bad titles too.
It's that or a new RE game for the Wii.
Code Veronica ruled, don't get me wrong, but isn't RE2 more deserving or a remake? The graphics hurt my face when I play it now, unlike Veronica, which is still pretty decent compared to newer stuff.
If it is a Wii RE game, hopefully using a tweaked RE4 engine, I hope its an original side story staring Barry Burton. The series need more Barry.
Please don't make another lame light gun game, Capcom. Give Wii owners something decent, like RE4.
Oh and it's Code Veronica Wii.
That would be awesome sauce.
I'll be there too! And the real announcement is "Hang out with Tactix, the more handsome and sexy Dtoider in DtoidSF who has a cooler trademark item than Ben Perlee (Fedora vs. Aviators :D)"
