It sure is nice to see Capcom supporting PC properly, isn't it? Coming to store shelves on September 15 for North America and September 18 for Europe is none other than the PC version of Resident Evil 5. Besides being the all-around fun action (and "horror") game that it is, this updated version has a few new additions.
For starters, there are new costumes, although Capcom isn't revealing any specifics, and Mercenaries mode now has three times as many enemies as console players ever saw. And for those who have a pair of fancy 3D glasses, RE5 will fully support Nvidia's GeForce Vision tech, even in its cut scenes (a first, I'm told).
I am still attempting to wrap my brain around the idea of fighting a boulder in Stereoscopic 3D, but this all sounds mighty tempting to me. For those with the necessary hardware, there's even a benchmark tool available.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I played the first chapter co-op with a mate on his xbox, i didnt wanna tell him but i wanted to turn it off after 10 mins...
I will probably pick it up at xmas when its £15 or somthing tho, i heard it gets alot better as it goes along.
Technically, the N64 was still 2D everythings still 2D... except actual 3D... Im confused again!
I didn't enjoy it much from very early on either. I decided to give it my best and plough through it.. it didn't really get any better. A few nice graphics, but the game still sucked. I quit before finishing it. I think I got somewhere through 5 of 6 chapters. Its a shame, I REALLY enjoyed resi4 and rate it as one of the best games ever made.. I'm not sure how 5 went so wrong! Shoulda stayed a solo experience
@FawkAndSuck
COD4 is still £30 here too. about a tenner short of the original price. I'm pretty sure Resi5's price is gonna drop quicker than that though.
nvidia is bringin it back, or at least trying to...
Oh geeze , where are you? Looks like you disappeared for months!
