Capcom's Kenji Inafune wants Resident Evil to become multi-format franchise...
Kenji Inafune's recent comments to Dorimage offshoot, Xbox360ism, have highlighted Capcom's intentions to release Resident Evil 5 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation3 simultaneously.
"We want to grow the Resident Evil series into a multi-platform franchise, so we hope to release it simultaneously," Inafune claimed. "But since we don't know the launch period for the PS3 yet, so it's hard to say."
The comment suggests that Capcom have grown wary on the one-format strategy behind the Resident Evil franchise and that fans of the Xbox 360 and PS3 will have further titles to look forward to; whether or not we'll see the series making a reappearance on a Nintendo home format however remains unknown, although the prospect of zombie hunting with the Revolution's controller is appealing.
Given the widely held belief that Sony will launch the Playstation3 during spring 2006 (in Japan at least), also suggests that Capcom are looking at a similar timeframe to release Resident Evil 5 - unless the original assumption of the spring launch is wrong!

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.

I tried a new resident evil 1, 2 and 3.
I want to try resident 5. good or not?

But surely a good story is like the icing on a cake? I enjoyed RE4 more than 5, because I felt the intrigue of the series heading into new territory. By comparison RE5 felt completely generic.

if you want to play space invaders you can but im not going to whinge about a story line when i buy a game to play.

"if no-one likes this game because of the story line get a book" then by your logic..we should just play space invaders!
