Omen, it probably went like this:
In Japanese:
"We have some news for you Resident Evil fans for next week. Stay tuned."
In German:
"Exciting Resident Evil news next week reported in Famitsu. We'll keep you posted."
In English:
"Famitsu says in the next issue it will have shocking announcement regarding RE series, its not related to RE4."
After a couple of days on the PGC forums:
"OMG NEW RESIDENT EVIL GAME M3G4T0N!!!!!"
