Im hoping that it will be anounced on the Rev. but it only seems to be coming on the PS3 and 360 for now

Doesn't mean it's not coming to Rev - like all of these other announcements for games, we're left hoping that the developers don't know all they need about the Rev to make a decision, but I sincerely hope that we don't miss out on this one. And if the case is that there is not enough info on the Rev even to one of the leading 3rd party supporters, then that's bad news - they need time to make games.

And I believe this belongs in the "Other Systems" board

If this marks the beginning of the series going downhill again, I hope it's not on Rev and Mikami-san better make something else, something new.

The games sold well enough on the GCN to at least warrant NOT excluding future sequels on the Revolution. I think, like a lot of developers, Capcom is just taking a wait and see approach with the REV.
I mean, if the REV really is going to utilize an innovative, more interactive interface, it could end up with by far the best (and no doubt scariest) version of the game for that reason alone.

It time to go mid evil on the resident of capcon!

I'll argue with the idea that this marks the beginning of the series going downhill again. Looking at the original series, a lot of people consider 2 to be the best. This one is being directed by the same guy who worked on 2, and I think the new direction Resident Evil 4 took the series in is still fresh enough to make this game fun. So I'd say this could be the best game in the series, or at least an equal for Resident Evil 4.

What it probably does mark is the beginning of the series being over-sequelled again. This one could turn out great, but when 6, 7 and 8 follow on an annual basis, it will get boring again.

This isn't surprising and not just because the Rev is so unknown right now. This is the company that sabotaged the sales of their own game by announcing a PS2 port weeks from release. Capcom's shareholders obviously aren't too hot on Nintendo right now to do something like that. I imagine Mikami's still cool with Nintendo but considering how financially Capcom's Cube support didn't really pay-off the company is probably not too enthused about the Rev. Or at least I would understand it if they weren't.

The fact that it's coming to Xbox 360 suggests however a potential multiplatform release across all consoles. Logically Xbox makes no sense. But then Japanese Xbox support NEVER makes sense but that didn't stop a whole bunch of Japanese third party games from appearing on the PS2 and Xbox but not the Cube.

We also have to wonder if the Rev is capable of a decent PS3 RE5 port. Rumour has it Factor 5 left because Nintendo isn't focusing enough on technology with the Rev. RE4 obviously was graphically very intense so even if Capcom still likes Nintendo the Rev might not suit the game's needs.

Matt @ IGN posted an updated article on their GameCube site. It goes a little more in depth about RE5 and includes his theory as to why Capcom hasn't announced RE5 for the Revolution...

Quote
Does this mean the game will never hit Revolution? Capcom isn't ruling it out.

"Capcom has a multi-platform strategy in order to provide Capcom products to as many users as possible," a spokesperson for the company told IGNcube. "Given this strategy, it is certainly feasible that other platforms could be considered at some point."

That mean we might get pay back for the cube if they announce the rev port right before the ps3 release.

other than metroid there have been no games announced for revolution as far as i know....so i would wait till there is some actually concrete announcements before you see any third party devs say anything about any games coming to the revolution

I hope the REV crushes the competition, and when the third parties come back begging for scraps Nintendo should pay them back by becoming majority holders in their stocks and take over their companies.

Pipe dreams, dude. Pipe dreams.

The more I hear about "Revolution", the more convinced I am that Nintendo has already lost the next generation before any of the new consoles have been released.

It seems there is no middle ground for Nintendo this time around. Its all or nothing. They either take the cake or they give up the console industry and stop holding Zelda hostage.

From Gamespot: "As expected, Resident Evil 5 will take advantage of the PS3's and Xbox 360's high-definition graphics. Takeuchi said that one of the main goals of RE5's development was to use said graphics to deliver a tangible "atmosphere" to the game...". High def not on the Rev? Maybe this is why it looks like it will not be on the Rev.

Nephilim · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2005, 05:41:41 PM »

Proberly come out a few months after it
Graphics can change the game, after all look how horrid RE4 on PS2 is *puke*
I expect a down graded port

Ian Sane · « **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2005, 07:24:45 PM »

What incentive would Capcom have to go to the trouble to make a downgraded port? The PS2 is the market leader. That's why they were willing to make an RE4 port. Nintendo's in last place and thus the Rev is more or less in last place from the get-go. Why would Capcom go to the trouble to downgrade a game for the least popular console? They didn't even port their PS2 and Xbox games to the Cube.

ThePerm · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2005, 09:26:52 PM »

i hope all this last place bullshit stops when they release zelda and lower the price o f gamecube....low they all jump up to a close second...

Holding Zelda hostage?

I'd rather see Zelda die with nintendo than see it go into the hands of another....

"Matt @ IGN posted an updated article on their GameCube site. "

Wow, they did it again. I really didn't think that they would have the balls to actually write it in an official article, but they did... An excerpt;

Quote
Meanwhile, Resident Evil 5 looks to push the power of both 360 and PS3, running in high-definition (a standard Revolution does not support), while rendering realistic character models and environments. Given that Nintendo's Revolution console will not be as powerful as its competitors, there's the chance that it may not be able to handle the game's visuals.

Say what you want about IGN - both Matt & Craig seem to be pretty honest about how they feel - regardless of their positions at IGN (GameCube & Nintendo handhelds, respecitvely) and their relationship with folks at NOA.

See, that's the thing, Matt writes what he feels. In an official article, he's got to just leave all his feelings out of it and report on the goings-on. If he wants to tell everybody that the Rev will be underpowered, he should do it in another editorial.

I also remember certain DS mailbags in which Craig would go off about how the PSP was better, when the PSP wasn't even mentioned in the question.

Oh come on, from those screens of RE5 it looks like it could be done on freaking GameCube. Next gen more like pointless waste of money.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2005, 07:10:05 AM »

When IGN says that the Rev will be underpowered is that opinion, speculation or fact? That's the problem when Matt reports things. It's hard to tell what's actual news. What Matt thinks and what Matt knows are different.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2005, 09:19:46 AM »

If the Rev isn't at LEAST as powerful as the 360...next generation, once again, is lost.

And yeah, the RE5 graphics look about on par with RE4. Hell, I'd say they were a bit worse, but that might be just wishful thinking.
