Um, am I blind or has there really not been a single thread about this? I mean, it's not like anyone expected Resident Evil to stop at 4, but still.

CAPCOM MAKING A SEQUEL? WOW THIS IS QUITE INTERESTING

 

[Justin Bailey]

When you think of it that way, then it's safe to say that RE5 will naturally proceed from where RE4 left off. If you play through everything RE4 has to offer, I think you'll get a taste of how the progression will work. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Sounds like they're abandoning the old ones. Good.

 

[TekunoRobby]

neat-o

Any project building on the qualities of RE4 sounds fantastic. However will we get the same brilliant team that worked on 4...?

 

[JasoNsider]

I'll say something straight-up: let me know when Mikami signs on. Seriously, I want the whole RE4 team including Kobayashi and Mikami behind the next game. No half-baked sequels for me. They have something beautiful with RE4 and desperately need to cling to that magic as long as humanly possible.

 

[Gaia Theory]

The only thing that would make this news interesting would be to hear if Mikami is involved or not.

Of course Capcom, of all developers, would make a sequel to a successful game. They make sequels to non-successes.

 

[Fantasmo]

Highly doubtful.

Spoiler

Wesker was involved in the plot. A parasite (RE4) isn't all that different from the viruses in the rest of the series. Sounds like Umbrella to me. Or at least a cult trying to live out Umbrella's work. Wish they would kill off Wesker already, what a lame character/storyline. The franchise needs to shed all of its old skin. Of course those references were the only lame-o thing in the entire game IMO.

 

[jetjevons]

Personally Las Plagas > T-Virus. If you ask me.

I'll take "No fucking shit" for 100, Alex.

That's why no one talked about, its just one of those "duh" things.

 

[SantaC]

No platform decided, that's why this thread has been so calm.

 

[Wario64]

Xbox 360.

 

[SantaC]

Now when I think about it, what if MS secure Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360? Can you say Super Money Hat knock out.

Just like the Gamecube!

 

[SantaC]

heh, my point is that MS has been shopping around in Japan latley, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them grabbing the RE franchise now when it's hot again.

 

[Drakken]

It's more than just confirmation, though; Kobayashi says a few things about it. And generally I would think RE fans would mention this anyway, even if was just a confirmation.

 

[COCKLES]

Squeeze those udders!

:lol :lol :lol That almost made me spit out my hot chocolate...

Exactly. Things will be even calmer if they throw it on everything. Only when it's announced as an exclusive for a single console will the sparks fly.

yup see the mistwalker thread heh

 

[Borys]

Super Money Hat knock out.

It's going to happen!
Mikami & Gates friends forever. If RE5 ever goes to PS3 Mikami will cut his head off.

heh Capcom shareholders will demand RE5 to be on PS3!

 

[missAran]

Isn't anyone interested in playing the game that revolves around destroying Umbrella?

 

[bitwise]

heh Capcom shareholders will demand RE5 to be on PS3!

yeah, it is true. I can see a multiplatform release for #5.

RE4's exclusivity did wonders for the Gamecube.
