E3 08: Resident Evil 5 to be released on Friday the 13th, early 2009 photo
     E3

Moments ago, during the Microsoft press conference, after showing some incredible footage of the highly anticipated Resident Evil 5, producer Jun Takeuchi announced the game’s release date: March 13, 2009.

Yup, that’s Friday the 13th. Oooooh, spooky! True, it’s a ways off, but knowing a definitive release date is always exciting.

Oh, yeah, and there was also a little mention of TWO PLAYER ONLINE CO-OP! Man, Resident Evil 5 is shaping up very nicely.

Stick with Destructoid for more news directly from E3!

2 player co-op sounds great. I haven't really been keeping up on the control scheme for this one. Does anyone know what its going to be like?

I was pretty underwhelmed with that demo. Co-op is cool, but...it looked soooo much like RE4. Animations, HUD, even the fucking barrels are the same...

Eh we'll just have to see.

Again, two-player local co-op would have been much better IMHO. If I play online, it's typically with more than just one other. If I play a two-person game, it's 99% of the time with someone sitting right next to me.
