- Biohazard 5 Deluxed Edition software:
- game
- Biohazard 5 Selection Track soundtrack CD

Resident Evil 5 producer 'worried' about Western devs |
|
A week or two ago on Famitsu, various Japanese developers were asked to give a year end comment for the magazine. Jun Takeuchi shared his insight on 2009 too, and developmag.com have got 'em translated.
Jun Takeuchi, producer of Resident Evil 5, has admitted that he is 'worried' about the impact Western developers will have in Japan this year.
When asked by Famitsu what he thought 2009 would bring, Takeuchi said: "I'm worried about the movements of Western developers. Japan is now their target - it's the last big marketplace. The truth is that Western studios are making great games, and they're going to continue to do so next year too.
But Takeuchi also has hopes for an improvement in Japan's domestic games market: "It's not good if Japanese developers are making games that can't be enjoyed by Japanese people.
I hope that 2009 is a year where developers - not just Capcom, but other makers too - can have big hits that improve the Japanese games industry as a whole.
"2009 will also see Resident Evil 5 finally released, and it'll also then see us on to our next step. We haven't shown what Capcom has in store for 2009 yet, so I hope we can surprise you all soon." |

Resident Evil 5 - Kijuju site updates with new screens and a Q&A |
The official Resident Evil 5 Kijuju site has now been updated with some new Exclusive Screenshots and a Q&A feature about the creation of the "Popocarim," one of the new B.O.W.s you'll encounter in Resident Evil 5 and which is also featured in the new screenshots that are now available on the site.
It's worth noting that one of the new images is a fancy panorama 3D image and requires a compatible plug-in (such as Quicktime) to work.
So head on over to the Resident Evil 5 - Kijuju Site and have a look  |

First of all, here's a reminder that Resident Evil: Degeneration have been released. It is available on 3 formats (Blu-Ray, DVD, UMD).
Gamingbits on RE: Degeneration Release
worthplaying.com have conducted an interview with Capcom's Milk Webster concerning Resident Evil 5. Unfortunately, there's really nothing groundbreaking that we can learnt from the interview, and there's even some errors here and there (eg the Japanese release date). Still, here's the link to read it.
