I didn't expect to see information from this game so early!

It's in development for PS3 and Xbox 360 (wow), apparently the team behind RE4 have nothing to do with it, but the guy who did RE2 is in charge, and it's using the RE4 engine.
If this game isn't on Revolution i'm buying a PS3, because damn, I WANT THIS!

I would not be surprised if it does eventually come out for the REV mainly because right now there are not any dev kits out there for it, and come on its Capcom... oh wait they only port things from the gamecube.
It seems from what the pictures show, since I can't read Japanese, that it stars Billy from Zero. Maybe its a prequel that explains why he was incarcerated, or maybe it is a sequel and explains were he runs to after zero. Maybe we can see what happened to Rebecca after part one.

I wonder what the theme of this game will be?

And is the RE 4 engine really that effective to port from the GC to the X360 or PS3? The engine itself was designed for a single hardware thread with no additional processors except sound and graphics.

Personally, I think it's too early for #5. So I guess Capcom's done with its individual, carefully made RE4 (thank you Mikami-san), and has got tons of empty buckets waiting for the RE5-Cow to get to work.

And as far as it being a re-skined RE4, I wouldn't mind that so much, it wasn't like RE4 was a bad game to begin with. This is coming from someone who enjoyed each and every version of Street Fighter II.

Remember our RE4 isn't remotely the original RE4.
I love RE4 to death, but storywise RE4 started a whole new story/arc without really tying up any lose ends that the previous games left.
The future will tell I guess...

And I have nowhere near thee financial income to go splurging on a PS3 just for RE5. So if it ain't commin' out on the Rev, then I ain't gettin' it.

Well, that's because the series isn't finished...
Storyline-wise, RE5 may be where the "plan" that started in RE4 will truely begin...(I think it takes place in Africa this time)

I don't know if I just think too highly of RE4 on GC but this RE5 trailer looks just like RE4 only in HD!!
If Rev can't handle that considering that the RE4 engine is being used and it was originally tailored to the GC then I will be very dissapointed

RE4 for GC, don't let that sell to capacity announce RE4 for PS2 so that everyone waits!!!
RE4 for PS2, don't let that sell either, announce RE5 for PS3 & X360!!!

I still wonder if we will find out what ever happened to Rebecca, and if that will be answered in this game.

Why blame Capcom? Nintendo's withholding any info for the REV so how can you support something that you don't know anything about other than it's size and 3 times as powerful of that of a GC).
And just because it's the same engine doesn't mean there's not going be tweaks so yeah by the time it releases it should look like an next generation game.
So why did this shock anyone? Other than Xbox fans (who's capcom support is questionable) this could have been forseen for awhile espeically given the GC sales figures weren't as high as Capcom was aiming.

Also, after searching the Net, it appears some of the people who worked on the PSX version of RE are working on this game.
I just hope that this game answers questions, rather then create new ones.

Capcom: We want that for Nintendo Revolution, too! So if you don´t have a developer kit from Nintendo yet, please tell them in capitol letters that you want it NOW or the Nintendo fans will occupy your headquarters and send all the employees home until they ship the developer kit!
