No Resident Evil 5 Until 2008 (or Later)
Translations of translations point to RE5 in the distant future.
By Luke Smith, 12/21/2006
It's a translation of a translation of a translation -- what a pain. According to Gamefront via Famitsu Xbox 360 (that's not the same thing as Famitsu) and brought to you by way of Babelfish, it looks like the only-announced-and-then-vanished Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game (moneyhats pending) Resident Evil 5 will not make it to store shelves until sometime in 2008. We'd heard rumblings that said "Resident Evil is a long way away," and the Famitsu Xbox 360 interview with Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi confirms just that.
Other bizarre translation nuggets included Jun Takeuchi talking about how the hair textures were going to be awesome, hot and cold would be gameplay mechanics, they are targeting 60 frames per second and the game might bring peace in the Middle East (one of these is false).
Furthermore, as Resident Evil 5 likely would ship in late-2008, it's not farfetched to think that this game could actually end up shipping in 2009 -- just in time for us to get ready for the next console cycle to begin. Woo!
Damn that really sucks that we have to wait alittle longer than we expected.
