Resident Evil 5, confirmed... sort of... Options

Taken from computerandvideogames.com -
Resident Evil 5 is in the early stages of development at Capcom, according to Resi 4 producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi.

"We are going to do a RE5, of course, but as for exactly what it will be like, that's what we're busy thinking about right now" says Kobayashi-san in the new issue of US games mag Electronic Gaming Monthly.

As is often the case with these early announcements all the meaty information is scarcer than brain pie at a zombie feast. There's no word on release date or formats, although the timing would suggest next-gen consoles are a dead cert.

But Kobayashi-san did discuss the plot angle Capcom will take. "It's safe to say that RE5 will naturally proceed where RE4 left off. The first four games-1,2,3 and CV, were more or less the story of Umbrella. RE4 takes place six years after those games, and Umbrella's been completely destroyed; this is the start of a new story line, in other words."

Excellent to read that the same guy who produced 4 is going to be doing the 5th one. Also, if these guys can make a game look this good on the GC that is out now, imagine what they are going to be able to do with the next gereration of consoles coming out at the end of the year (or whenever).
