Resident Evil 5 Not A 360 Exclusive

Next Generation reports that recent rumours about the exclusivity of Resident Evil 5 are incorrect. So says Capcom, anyway, trying clear up its relationship with Microsoft. The two companies have become increasingly 'friendly', with titles like Dead Rising and Lost Planet given the 360 some popular exclusive titles already. From the article: "'Just to be clear, this is a multiplatform simultaneous launch on PS3 and Xbox 360.' ... The status of Resident Evil 5 has been clouded in mystery over the past several months. The game was featured at Microsoft's X05 event and at E3 2005, but it didn't make an appearance at this year's E3 in May, or at Tokyo Game Show 2006 this month."

RE5 to Wii !

RE5 will be launched to Wii. RE4 was a great success at GameCube plataform !! I will use the Wiimote to fire the rifle !!!

That's news?

I recall RE5 being announced for the 360 and PS3 right on day 1.

I need my RE-Wii!!!

Re:why not for the Wii

Resident Evil Wii is supposed to be released about the same time, and will be similar, but different, and exclusive to the Wii.

Re:why not for the Wii

The Wii is getting it's own exclusive Biohazard game called Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles. It spans the first four titles, and you are able to play as many of the series most iconic characters (Leon, Jill, Hunk, Wesker, Ada and more..). The mechanics are supposed to be similar to Biohazard 4's over the shoulder view, but the Wiimote will be used to aim your weapon.

Not a whole lot is known about the game because it was only recently announced. One thing that has been mentioned is that each character will have two weapons each, like the Mercanaries game from Biohazard 4 (which will be returning). Jill has a pistol and rocket launcher, Leon a Pistol (Red 9 I hope) and shotgun, and Ada the TMP and rifle.

There was a post about it on The Magic Box maybe a month ago. No screenshots yet either.

That's just not right.

Using the wiimote with RI is just wrong. It completely ruins the core gameplay element of frantically spinning in circles while trying to run away and/or shoot zombies. What's next? A playable Tomb Raider game? That way lies madness.

Re:why not for the Wii

But the PS3 is soooooo awesome that you'll WANT to work that overtime to afford it.
