REmember RE 5?

REmember RE 5? photo
     Resident Evil

I was never a huge fan of the Resident Evil games. Not until Resident Evil 4. I still remember, quite vividly, playing the game my first time. The first town, where you're supposed to get the shotgun, I remember it. Specifically, I remember going through it with a handgun, screaming battles cries at the top of my lungs.

God damn, that was a satisfying day.

So it brings me great delight to report on these rumored screenshots of Resident Evil 5. Next week, acclaimed Japanese magazine Famitsu should have a few screenshots for us. You may have heard of Famitsu, they're quite famous, so one can't put this past them; they could very well have pages of screenshots. More likely, a 2 page spread with ultra kawaii chibi Leon-san commenting on his own pictures.

We'll have those screenshots for you if ever they arise. Fingers crossed.

This is wicked! I can't wait!

Does anybody know which console it's coming out for? Is it going to be the PS3 or Xbox 360?

Either way, looks like I have to start saving my pennies.

it's coming out for PS2 and 360, not sure about anything else. oh yeah, wii's getting its own resident evil, which might be cool.

It's a good thing RE5 is being released on these powerful new consoles because RE4 left absolutely no room for improvement on the older hardware. Can't wait for ANY footage of this game, and I really hope Claire makes an appearance.

I could play through RE4 over and over again. Let's hope RE5 is just as good or better!

Leon is the protagonist in RE5? I thought it was either Chris or people were still debating on who it is. Regardless, yeah RE4 kicks major ass and I can't wait for 5 to come out.

chado: we all know that. if you notice, the post doesn't say it currently has new screenshots. this is what one calls a rumor, the possibility that Famitsu will have new screen shots next week (which is in the future).

This probably isn't happening -- Famitsu has listed it's features/hotness for it's next issue and RE5 is not mentioned.

I also remember my first time playing RE4. It was my first RE game, and ever since that day, I've been slowly collection the series --- That was the only reason I kept my GameCube for as long as I did. I now have every one except for Code Veronica X, and I'll surely get 5 when it comes out.
