Resident Evil 5 to PS3?
Notorious gossipers seem to think so.
April 25, 2005 - If you took the time, you could file this rumor under both O for how freaking obvious it is and G for the grain of salt that needs to be taken with it. The story goes something like...
In March, Electronic Gaming Monthly published an interview with Capcom super producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who then stated that work on Resident Evil 5 had begun and that it would follow the same gameplay principles as RE4, even picking up where that one left off. Notably absent from the interview was any mention of which platform the title would release on. Here's the original article.
We know RE5 is being developed right now.
Fast-forward to right now. Page 22 of PSW's May issue states that, "Capcom confirms development of Resident Evil 5 on PS3." That's it... Unsubstantiated much? Our French buds at Jeux-France claim that PSW is known to be unreliable when it comes to such rumors, so believe what you will.
Let's recap.
O = Resident Evil 5 is obviously in development.
G = So it's on the PS3 now, eh?
If the universe is just and merciful, we'll learn about Resident Evil 5 at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Exposition in Los Angeles.
