Capcom: People will "flip out" over Resident Evil 5

Posted on February 12th, 2008 at 05:34 EDT

Capcom’s Senior Director of Communications and Community, Chris Kramer, has promised that users will “flip out” over the forthcoming horror title Resident Evil 5 - that is, once people are able to get a hands-on experience with the game later this year.

Speaking during an interview with Major Nelson, Kramer commented, "Just being able to see Resident Evil 5 running, I'm like 'Oh my god!' Honestly, when we start showing more of that, when we start letting people go hands-on with that, people are going to flip out.”

“That game to me is super exciting,” he enthused.

Kramer’s comments come following a recent meeting in Japan, where he was able to meet the producers of a number of upcoming Capcom titles due for release over the next few years.

When asked what to expect from the company in 2008, he replied: “We have a really fantastic year ahead of us, a year that's going to include games like... Resident Evil 5...”

Resident Evil 5 is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and pits players in the shoes of series veteran, Chris Redfield; a former member of the Raccoon Police Department’s elite S.T.A.R.S unit, previously responsible for its involvement in the 1998 “Mansion Incident” from the original Resident Evil.

Now working for a mysterious organisation known as “BSAA”, Redfield finds himself investigating a biohazardous outbreak in a remote African-like setting, where something has befallen the local residents, turning them into brutal killers baying for blood.

So far, the game has yet to receive a firm release date, with Capcom only commenting that a 2009 release is likely. However, fellow Internet blogger “Surfer Girl” believes that the game will hit shelves around September this year.

Stay tuned for more information on the game as soon as it becomes available. For now, head over to PSU's wish list to see what we're hoping to see from this latest instalment in the Survival Horror series.

This is probably the game I'm looking forward to the most...ever!!! Sure MGS4 is around the corner and it is an Exclusive... But RE5 is probably my most wanted game of all time. Played every Resident Evil there is and this one will just take my obsession further... Can't F*************************** wait.

zero chance this comes out this year...and I'd love to eat those words come xmas but a highly doubt that.

Can't wait for RE5.

Side note: Who cares what that Surfer Girl has to say? She has already proved to know nothing about video games

^ Agreed, no need to mention Surfer Girl.  RE5 will be sweet - hopefully the majority of enemies wont be black otherwise we'll be seeing another HUGE blowout in Congress about evil videogames and their violent (and now racist) nature.

(swanky)

You are right about that...A white guy killing a bunch of black people...First person to protest is Al Sharpton...I really do hope they include other people instead of just black people because basically the non gamer black race ( politcal people and parents will jump on it like hotcakes)

I like the RE games, but maybe they should stop soon? The story is getting too dragged out IMO. I liked the plot a lot better in RE1, 2, and 3. Code Veronica sucked, RE4 had nothing to do with the first 3 and Zero was more of the same (as 4). I liked RE4, and I'll probably like RE5, but give it a rest for god's sake.

I love the RE series. I'm excited to be able to play as Chris again. I wish Surfer girl would have a tall glass of STFU. No one cares what she thinks or what she has to say.

Don't mentioned Surfer Girl in a story ever again.

I'll buy back into the RE franchise when they bring back zombies instead of just "infected"/brainwashed villagers.

RE 5 is definitly going to be a huge title. When more games like that roll out in 08, the unresal engine 3 will show off the ugliest looking games. It's sad but true. Too bad all developers banked on it, already. They could have made theri own engine, with progressively better EVERYTHING like companies such as insomniac, capcom, and square enix have.

 

If gears of war 2 is on the unreal engine, the say goodbye to any one saying "wow" in 2k8/9.

Please come out in September that would be amazing.

Ehh. Never been a big fan of the RE series. Even RE4 wasn't that pinacle of gaming that just about every other person in the world thought it was. Maybe it was the setting? I dunno, but RE4 to me was a good game but... didn't give me that feeling of total emersion and giddiness with enjoyment.

I'm not counting RE5 out... but then again, I'm not excited about it either. There are tons of titles that will be on my wishlist before this one.

Why did Rev Al start complaining about the villagers!? RE4 was a bunch of spanish speaking beaners and you dont see any Hispanic/Latinos complaining. This talk of racism and bias needs to stop already!

Its just a game!!!

LOL what if it was actually a guy (surfer girl). XD In any case I doubt we will see a release that soon, more like hands on gameplay and more trailers to come right?

RE4 WAS the reboot of the series, Compared to RE 1-3and code veronica that game is a huge step forward for capcom's franchaise.

 

Also Surfergirl is a retard. Stop trying to give her crap credibility.

i loved re in the old days, but i didn't quit get what re4 had to do with the original story? so i never really bothered in buying it, will re5 continue the original plot? will we ever see that double crossing whesker again? and will we see umbrellas home base to shut them down? just a Q: is surfer girl sleeping with all of you at psu? because i don't see why you quote the bu11$hit  that bitçh has to say!!!!

RE5 is, hands down, the title I am most excited about for my PS3.  I would actually buy a Meltdown 360 if it was exclusive on that system (and that is saying something!)  RE4 actually got me back into video games again.  I played it thru three times and usually I get bored after the first time thru a game-

CAN'T WAIT!
