RUMOR: Biohazard 5 only for PS3 in Japan?

Could Resident Evil 5 be a PS3 exclusive. PS3.qj has reason to believe its true and if you want to know why just click the link.....

Asuka6480d ago

one way or another, it will hit the states. Now if it hits on other platforms besides PS3, who knows?

wakkiwakko6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

Is it region free? Hmm. Then I take back my comment. It's good that it's region free.

Asuka6480d ago

PS3 is region free also. but still, sometime down the line, Res5 will end up in the US on almost all the platforms, just like all the other Res. games.

Marty83706480d ago

All PS3 are region free,and will hav all lanuages included on Bluray disc(meaning costs should be less as packaging for different regions won't be needed).

Watapata6480d ago

They have only stated that they COULD put all languages on a single disc, but not that each game will include them in that way...

Asuka6480d ago

Resistence is going to have all the languages on one disc.

Watapata6480d ago

I'm aware that some games will, Resistance included, but no where has it been mentioned that every game will.

TheMART6480d ago

I think the statement means something different, read it again:

"Although it is entirely possible that only a PS3 version is coming out in Japan, given the fact that the Xbox 360 isn't really selling like sushi in the Land of the Rising Sun."

I guess there will be no Japanese 360 version, but there will be English versions on 360/PS3. Just because 360 has no large fanbase in Japan to sell enough to make up the costs for a special Japanese version.

That's all folks

achira6480d ago

lol, its a joke to see how you twist everything to make your xbox360 shiny.

THE TRUTH6480d ago

lol I agree achira, it's sad really. I say just enjoy your console and let it speak for itself.

btw it's 8/9/06 (Dead Rising release day) so maybe we can get peace while some 360 fanboys "should" be out playing...... that is how I will judge the game. (btw I got it on the way via gamefly)

Watapata6480d ago

You are both a little skewed in this, TheMART could very well be right on this. It doesn't say that it will go to the 360 even in Europe or the US, but it mentions that it could be exclusive in Japan only since the 360 has sold so poorly over there.

Say's you6480d ago

is Region free unlike PS3 games all of it is region free god you gamesr don't read anyfacts anymore from any websites and plus they might change there minds over here as well making it exclusive for the PS3 in the U.S knowing that RE serie's has been on exclusively for the playstation and sometimes on the Nintendo

so really if there going to make it exclusively in Japan thier going to do it here to.

Resident Evil 5 - 15 Years of Being the Most Misunderstood Resident Evil

Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.

TheBrainZ60d ago

One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.

Knightofelemia60d ago

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.

thesoftware73060d ago (Edited 60d ago )

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.

CrimsonWing6960d ago

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 🤷‍♂️

chobit_A5HL3Y60d ago

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

-Foxtrot60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.

You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.

Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.

It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.

franwex60d ago

At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.

chobit_A5HL3Y59d ago

like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.

people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.

5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.

Tody_ZA35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.

@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.

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.

DarXyde219d ago

I've been dying to see Outbreak come back for years.

Even RE Zero and Code Veronica would be excellent.

But for the love of God, not RE5 or RE6.

One they get around to the aforementioned games, why not remake the original Devil May Cry trilogy? That would be a much better use of time. At the very least, the first two games.

justsomeoffdude220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

code veronica should be the nest remake

neutralgamer1992220d ago

CV is good candidate for a remake but requires way more work for today’s standard. People look at CV through their tinted glasses. I think capcom wants to remake every game up till 6 and fix the plot holes so they can continue the series in one straight story path

Also not sure why only RE have to get remade when there are other capcom games that would be better suited for remakes like oninusha

DVAcme220d ago

That's PRECISELY the reason Code Veronica needs a remake. All the other RE games aged pretty well, considering the limitations of the time, but Code Veronica is the game that would be served the best bybremaking it because it feels so archaic these days.

neutralgamer1992219d ago

DVA

But it depends if capcom wants a big project or a quick remake. CV will require a lot more work than RE5

IMO they should remake other games before doing RE5

TheEnigma313220d ago

how many times do we have to say CV is the next best one?

CrimsonWing69220d ago

Nooooo! Why the hell can’t they do Code Veronica? I just don’t understand.

1Victor220d ago

RE5 is the closest to the bottom of the pot(a little smoky flavor but passable in a emergency) before we get to the burned crust that is 6 that not even the pigs would eat

CrimsonWing69220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

Unpopular opinion here, but I enjoyed 5 and 6. I just think, in terms of Remakes, the classics are the one that should get the treatment above the modern takes of the franchise.

Don’t get wrong, RE4 definitely was an outstanding Remake, but RE5… I just get less excited about a Remake for that over something like Code Veronica.

RaidenBlack220d ago

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

jeromeface219d ago

show this man the door... he overserved himself.
