Capcom could license a Devil May Cry film and rekindle the Resident Evil series of movies...
Japanese publisher Capcom has revealed that it's currently working out the contracts for a number of film offers that it has received at the Cannes Film Festival. Devil May Cry and Resident Evil are reportedly two of the licenses that Capcom wants to take advantage with any new deals.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Capcom's President Haruhiro Tsujimoto said, ``We are in the process of working out contracts for several offers we received at the Cannes Film Festival last week and hope to make an announcement soon. If realized, the projects will have a big impact on the game and movie industries.''
Tsujimoto also spoke of Capcom's strategy to emulate the success of Marvel in recent years. The comics giant has rejuvenated many of its superheroes on the big screen with huge successes at the box office. "We want to do with games what Marvel did with comics," Tsujimoto commented.
According to the reports, Capcom is eyeing its Resident Evil and Devil May Cry properties as possible candidates for the silver screen. Resident Evil has previously been made into a trilogy, with the third film being released last year.
Capcom and 20th Century Fox are currently at work on a jointly funded and produced Street Fighter film. The $40 million (£20.2 million) project, due out later this fiscal year, will go a long way to determining the prospects for Capcom's film ventures according to Tsujimoto.

vgcharts constantly make mistakes it switches from 4 million to 5 and least they corrected it, but in the future you really should not use vg charts as a source

My only problem with RE5 was how short it was, so I hope this expansion comes out on PC.
Also, the people who are INTERNET ANGRY about this game require too much to be happy and will probably be miserable with everything in life.

Epic Fail. That was the lamest piece of sh*t I've ever read in my entire life ! Do not any under circumstances listen to this sh*thead ! This one's going to feature a lot of puzzles, and it's confirmed that it's a survival horror. Spoiler ***** You have to actually use puzzles to kill a certain "boss." Oh and you'll see what happens later about your weapons later. "Shanking" the enemy to death is probably impossible, but hey, I gave you a hint.
Just don't take that dumbass's word for itThis is going to be great. Try it, buy it, play it, enjoy it.

For god sake, cry me a [#@!?] river. You sound like the most snobbiest brat ever.

With the emphasis on action in Resident Evil 5, clunky controls are a bit of a problem. I'll agree they are a trademark charatceristic of the series, but if Resident Evil is headed further down a Gears of War route, then it needs to be looked at.
Personally I'd rather they kept the controls and toned down the action in place of some added significance on the puzzle count...

What a load of abject [#@!?]e, "the clunky controls can be excused" theyre supposed to be clunky genius its how the resident evil games are meant to feel. As are the menus. I for one as a die hard fan would be seriously pissed off if the controls and menus were changed. fair point about the puzzles tho, im guessing they were removed to allow for coop play.
