Sony laid out its motion controller plans the other day at the Tokyo Game Show and mentioned that Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet would be the first games to take advantage of the system. Well, freaks and geeks, wanna see some actually gameplay? ‘Course you do. → Read More
So yeah, the PS3 motion controller will be available this Springtime, and the first “big” games to make use of it will be Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet. High Velocity Bowling will also use the controller, and it sounds absolutely thrilling. → Read More
Alienware announced yesterday they will “shake the gaming world to its foundation” at the Tokyo Game Show 2009. Well, the show started today, I went there and played Resident Evil 5 (and a bunch of other titles, for example Streetfighter 4) on Alienware hardware. I’m not sure if the gaming world is really that different when compared to yesterday, but all the games did look damn impressive on… → Read More
Capcom has made it official: Resident Evil 5 is coming to the PC on September 15th. The fifth installment in the popular survival horror series was released for the Xbox and PS3 in March of this year, to some controversy. The version being released for the PC has some improvements, specifically the addition of 3D, intended to take advantage of Nvidia’s 3D Vision goggles. → Read More
Dearest CrunchGear readers: I recently had the honor and privilege of speaking to Karen Dyer, who is not only the voice of Sheva Alomar, from Resident Evil 5, but who also did said character’s motion capture. I hope you enjoy it on this day, our day of freedom. → Read More
Oh, man, I cannot wait to punch a boulder in 3D. (Actually, I can wait, but that’s immaterial for the purpose of this post.) In addition to the earlier Street Fighter IVannouncement, Capcom also let it be known that Resident Evil 5 will be released sometime this year. In and of itself, sorta blah. But! → Read More
After a delay in Japan, Capcom has just announced that the online multiplayer “Versus” mode will go live tomorrow for the Xbox 360 and PS3. PlayStationers will have to fork over $4.99 or 400MS Points if you’re an Xboxen. Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill… → Read More
Oh, look, a CrunchDeal! Buy.com has the Maxtor One Touch 4, a TB external hard drive, for $99. That’s around a $130 savings. → Read More
Yahtzee, of Zero Punctuation fame, is never wrong. In his crosshairs this week is Resident Evil 5, a delightful romp through T-Virus-ravaged (or whatever virus it is this time) Africa. You have a partner, a woman named Sheva (not to be confused with Andriy Shevchenko), who’s totally useless. → Read More
The Milkman delivers! 1UP’s just-launched, comprehensive Resident Evil 5 section includes a note from the site’s editor, one James Mielke, that caught our eye: “In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game’s producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable… → Read More
Japanese TV isn’t short of strange TV spots, but this one for Resident Evil 5‘s XBOX 360 Deluxe Edition is creeping me out. It stars Chiaki Kuriyama, the crazy schoolgirl Go Go Yubari from Kill Bill (she is also one of the villains in Takeshi Kitano’s splatter action film Battle Royale). → Read More
We heard the rumors, and now we see what appears to be the proof! A Resident Evil 5 bundle should be hitting the streets along with the game on March 5. It’s an Elite system and costs a daunting $400, but for the truly l33t, that’s not a problem. → Read More
For reasons known only to God and his brother Jim—ooh, sacrilege—plenty of people are still calling Resident Evil 5 racist. The list now includes The Atlantic and Eurogamer; don’t forget N’Gai Croal brought this issue to everyone’s attention last year. Me? I’m sorry, but I have bills to pay, and I simply cannot be bothered to argue, in print or otherwise, whether or some piece of… → Read More
BODIES AS SHIELDS!!! Oh wait, wrong game. Tehehe. → Read More
According to Ars Technica’s MS mole, there is going to be a special Xbox 360 bundle coming: a Resident Evil Bundle with exclusive content. Click on to find out what might be included. → Read More
North American Xbox 360 owners will be able to download the Resident Evil 5 demo on January 26. That’s free and clear: no weird hacking required. → Read More
Sony will release a Resident Evil 5 PS3 bundle in Japan on March 5 for ¥48,980, or $527. Yes, just like Microsoft’s bundle. → Read More
Not that Microsoft needs any help selling the Xbox 360 here in North America (more on that later today), but it will release a Resident Evil 5 bundle in Japan in early March. If you liked Resident Evil 4 (that’s everyone, right?) you’ll be sure to enjoy this one. → Read More
Whenever a game busts out for 360 and PS3s, it’s a fanboy pageant as each tries to extol the virtues of their version of the game. It looks like that may not be possible with Resident Evil 5, which, if you watch the HD version of this demo comparison, appears to look exactly the same on both systems. → Read More
Microsoft is up to no good. Redmond has just admitted to tampering with people’s misbegotten Resident Evil 5demoin an effort to prevent them from playing it before Capcom says it’s okay. → Read More
Capcom released the demo for Resident Evil 5 last week in Japan, but did you know that you, the average American Xbox 360 owner, can play it right now? It’s extraordinarily easy, since all you need is a bank CD or DVD and the wherewithal to burn a data disc. Are you ready? → Read More
Capcom released a new trailer for Resident Evil 5 (which will launch in the US and Japan on March 13, 2009) at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The company made a huge fuss about the game. I made a video at the TGS (see below) that shows the space Capcom dedicated to Resident Evil 5 alone at their (gigantic) booth. → Read More
I just came back from this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which will end this Sunday (tomorrow is the second “business day”, followed by 2 days that are open to the general public). And I have no doubt that Resident Evil 5 (Biohazard 5) is THE game of the show. I played both the XBOX 360 and the PS3 version and both looked and felt fantastic. If I could choose I would prefer the XBOX… → Read More

How lucky we are to be alive in 2008, friends! Our lives are so comfortable that we can LOOK FOR RACISM in Resident Evil 5. Look, read this and form your own opinion. Newsweek’s N’Gai Croal lambasts the upcoming Capcom game for racist undertones. Or is it overtones, since the game is so damn racist and all? “Croal’s first reaction to the trailer was, ‘Wow, clearly no one… → Read More
