Rumours that Resident Evil 5 will be a PS3 exclusive have resurfaced once more, with reports in the Japanese games media alleging that that the 360 version of Capcom survival horror epic has been dropped.
However, Capcom has itself refuted the allegations, saying the reports were erroneous and that the title will, as announced, be released on the PS3 and 360.
This isn't the first (nor will it be the last) time we've seen this sort of speculation, but could it actually happen?
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol

An exploration of whether RE5 is truly the most logical next step for a remake, or whether there are others in line who deserve their day in the sun.
Remake of Resident evil outbreak as well as file 2. Same gameplay as the recent remakes. Choose what ever character you want to play as. With online co op.
Nope.
Rather remake other past Capcom & non-mainline RE games ... IF they have to continue churning out Remakes.
I'd rather want a new 3rd person RE spin-off
Dino Crisis and Onimusha Reboot
New IPs after Pragmata ships
They've already said they will be doing multiplats from now on. That's why DMC4 is on 360 now.
RE5 is about as exclusive as RE4 was for the GC
Yeah just like Res 4 was excusive to Gamecube. If Capcom did this its like throwing money away. They already have 2 platinum sellers on 360 in Lost Planet and Dead Rising which were'nt pre-existing franchises. This may be crossing they're minds now but it will change once they see how much the 360 version of DMC4 outsells the PS3 one like crazy and this thought will soon be a distant memory.
P.S. People can flame and disagree with me all they want the facts are the facts
RE5 will be multi
Just as Silent Hill 5 could end up being exclusive if PS3 sells more than enough, RE5 too. I have both consoles, but I don't want Xbots to enjoy this one, just for spite.
Edit:
Sturmfuhrer, if I'm a fantard, the only logic conclusion is that you a are a fanmoron. Anyway, I have both consoles, so I can't possibly be a Sony fanboy. I'm more like an Anti-annoying-xbots (not Anti-Xbox). Scram, Xbot.
