Rumor: Possible Exclusive Limited/Special Editions of Resident Evil 5? |
|
Just got something dumped in my inbox from a good source, but posting it as a rumor for now until I see something official;
An insider close to me has revealed that there may be plans to release several versions of Resident Evil 5 on the launch date of March 13th, 2009. Although it is only early days and this information is all but 100% confirmed, several listings have popped up on several retailer lists for the following items: -
RES/EVIL 5 PS3
RES/EVIL 5 SE PS3
RES/EVIL 5 LE PS3
Unfortunately, there is no more information provided on the listing, however our best guess so far is that the SE stands for Special Edition and the LE stands for Limited Edition. The one without the SE or LE suffix is the standard edition.
What's perhaps even more peculiar, however, is that these versions of the game do not show up for the Xbox 360 version. Could Capcom be planing to release a PS3 exclusive limited edition, and if they are, will we be getting a limited edition with even more extras, akin to Halo 3's Legendary Edition?
Worst case scenario, the special editions are exclusive to EBGames in Australia, as they have been known to secure exclusive collector's edition bundles already. |

New Resident Evil 5 Developer Interview |
Tue 18 Nov 2008, 10:06 AM by A-J |
PS3news have a new interview with Capcom's Ben LeRougtel. In it he talks about several things including how to give commands to the AI partner if you're playing alone and the tension aspect of the game.
One interesting point is the inclusion of "Classic Resident Evil enemies" that have yet to be officially unveiled. This probably means the Hunters which have appeared in all of Chris's Resident Evil titles and probably some more returning monsters.
| There are plenty of those classic Resident Evil enemies that you’d expect to see in a Resi game, but we haven’t unveiled any of those just yet. |
|
He also mentions that they're planning some more reveals for the game, but there probably isn't anything big left that's yet to be shown except the bosses which they will keep under wraps.

Sorry for being so late on this one, but we had a lot of editing to do in post production. Even with the editing, the final podcast weights in at a hefty 3 hours, 20 minutes. But we have some good discussion going. Rombie from Resident Evil Fan ended up joining us, along with forum member TheSelfishGene. In this episode, we discuss the first Resident Evil movie. Later on in the podcast, I sat down with Rombie who followed the development progress of the first movie, from its inception to the final product. We also end up discussing an early script from Paul Anderson, which contains numerous differences. I took the liberty of reading it before the podcast and go down a list of changes from the final film. Taking up the bulk of the time though, is the Romero script, where I pretty much give an entire run-down of the movie. So if you are too busy to read the script yourself, then this is what you'll want to listen to. At the end, of course, we take calls from the community. A full run down of the segments is below.
I want to thank Rob from Resident Evil Fan, and Gene for joining us this week, as well as all our listeners and the people who called in this week, its always great to hear from you guys. If you want to give us a call to talk about anything, let us know how were doing or even try and get your comment played on the podcast, send a Skype message to the username bifftannentruewinner, and our voice mail should pick up after a few rings. Be aware, that we won't have this up until the date specified below. Alternatively, you can send me a private message and we can arrange how to send us an mp3 recording. We'd love to hear from you guys, especially if its about the game we'll be playing that particular week, or even the games we've played on past podcasts.
For the next podcast (which will be recorded in two weeks), we'll be watching both Resident Evil Apocalypse and Resident Evil Extinction. TheSelfishGene and Rombie will join us once again for this one, so look forward to that. Our call-in line will be open on Saturday, November 29th.
