It's not just what OXM Online knows about Resident Evil 5 that's intriguing; it's what they don't, too. At a recent press event, Capcom confirmed some tantalizing details: The development of the game is about 60 percent done. The final game will offer about 20 hours of gameplay. It will be released within this fiscal year, which translates into anytime between November '08 and March '09.
Intriguing and mysterious for sure, but everything came into much sharper focus when they got to wrap their meathooks around a controller and play the game for the first time. The big surprise was the game's co-op focus: through some of the missions, Chris Redfield's partner, Sheva, will fight right alongside you.
