BTW I'm glad to hear it's not timed exclusive.

...the m$ payed for an "additional contest" that will come months later after release when nobody wants to know about the game again!

oh and they will say that the m$ will pay everyone to get the biggest hype that the game deserve (...not)

and them gametrailers will compare both versions of the PS3 and say that the 360 has better graphics:P

played RE4 and didn't think it was a huge game that press made it!

@Lifendz - it's meant to come out this year anyway.

I think the major announcement will just be a release date.

this is a game I hope they focus on single player and not multi-player.

Then again if they could come up with some sort of smaller team deathmatch where it's a bunch of players vs. AI zombies and trying to say get to an extraction point I think that would be cool. Think Dawn of the Dead type stuff. 4-8 players start out in a mall or something and have to get to a boat. Something like that would be both different and fun. Either way it's a day one purchase for me.

I think an awesome online mode would be to have one or two players vs. 10 or so zombies(other online players) and the objective is to kill the zombies or to infect teh players...just a thought.

I'm not sure if playing as a zombie would be fun. But hey, I've been wrong before.

You are kidding with it REbirth, but I really thing the most you can get with money in huge multiplatform games is some kind of content.

Just like GTA or any other huge game that sells MILLIONS on BOTH consoles

Let's just try calculating it, $60 for game, let's guess 1/4, $15 for the publisher in each copy sold, publishers would not risk those numbers for some low millions. Let's say RE5 will sell 3 million copies on each platform, by that guess, those are 45 million from each platform. So the least Capcom would take as a bribe from either Sony or MS would be more than 45 million, a point where you compensate selling it on only one platform.

But, those publishers are sneaky... They know that for Sony or MS, even a little content would mean some advantage, so it would not be a surprise that a actual bribe, on all that past guess, would have to as high as double that 45 million. And that is justa a guess, I think RE5 can sell way more than this on both platforms, so 90 million would not be enough for time exclusivity on huge sellers multiplatform (thanks GTA and MS for this craziness on bribes in our market, they have raised the low for that kind of business).

But for sure, I'm just guessing here... So take it with as much salt as you can.

"From what I have been told, Microsoft is looking to pay Capcom an undisclosed amount, for timed exclusivity of Resident Evil 5."

That was the rumour, but it doesn't really matter now.

Unless Capcom’s Corporate Officer and Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development is not telling us the truth.

He's capable of BS. Remember that statement last year where he said, they'll be an annoucement that'll make PS3 owners happy....LOST PLANET COLONIES!

Oh yea, I remember that day.

Exactly... Its a rumor to me too. I am not 100% sure if its true.

part of my reason for posting the information was so if it WAS true. Sony would have a chance to counter offer....
Selfish I know, but I dont want to have to buy an Xbox 360, and RE5 is a big game for me.
Trying to save a huge PS3 game from turning into a timed exclusive.

Also. Even if Sven from Capcom denies it as of right now, that doesnt mean it still cant happen.

I mean how many times did 2KBoston, and TakeTwo, say that Bioshock wasnt coming to the PS3...

It's just a part of intensive MS dammage control, each day we can see "rpg, not on ps3" "third party games, not on ps3" re5, etc

when you have nothing to offer to break the slow but real revenge of ps3, already first in europe and japan, you have to brain wash (with $$$) as much as you can to survive.

good for them, they have some free xbots always hot to sing "ps3 has no games" "gpu is better on 360" "rod is a rumor" "hdd and bluray = 0" and other bullshits, naives people can believe.

monkey602 - 551 days 23 hours ago

Not really. It's not unlike Capcom to do something like this with the Resident Evil series.

Veronica X, RE 0, RE remake, RE 4, Resident Evil outbreak 1/2, Umbrella Chronicles <--- They all fell under the exclusive/timed exclusive category at one stage.

But if he says their strategy is to be multiplatform, does he have to deny it's a timed exclusive? Isn't multiplatform already implied?

GeneralMaximus - 551 days 18 hours ago

Capcom aint gonna give exclusiveness to either ps3 or the 360 because this particular game is too highly anticipated and just may hurt capcom sales in the future regardless to whom the exclusiveness be granted to

Sev is the one who brought up the rumor. I don't think a bot would work at a site called playstationlifestyle.

Kleptic - 551 days 18 hours ago

Sev didn't start it, he just made a post on his site about it...it had been circling around NeoGaf for a while...and it started from 'insider' 360 fanboys...guys like Mart basically...

it was kind of a given that it wouldn't happen...but it is still very likely that MS made an offer...its just Capcom probably made it very obvious to MS that Japan would gladly accept a bag of steaming shat over an Xbox 360...and exclusively supporting the 360 at first would clearly alienate their home territory...

Sev1512 of Playstationlifestyle.

But he clearly marked the news as RUMOUR, he never said it was confirmed.

In fact, his story was that MS were offering Capcom money for timed exclusivity, not that MS had GOT timed exclusivity.
