Out of curiousity, is EDGE magazine british or US based.

The main magazine is british based, but you can find EDGE magazine (british articles + own stuff) in other countries.

Thought so, notice alot of british sarcasm and irony when I read their columns in the magazine from time to time, but never bother buying it in stores, just never been a fan of their biased commentary against anything which isn't 8bit.

Lol, retro supporters in 2008? Never thought I'd hear of the day.

[Stu]

Why? There'll always be huge support for retro games.

Quick reply to this message

2008 FY. Just As we predicted, endo of 2008 or soon in 2009

[Sunglasses]

I hope end of 2008! Christmas? Mhh...

EDIT
New Arcade game?

I remember a future BH arcade game where Tara Platt (Red Queen voice in UC) given her voice to Jill. Could be this new arcade game.

Why is the news so unexpected? I expected RE5 to be out this year.

Capcom have said for about a year now that the game WOULDN'T be out in 2008. Also this doesn't mean just 2008, it's the FINANCIAL YEAR, which probably takes it into early 2009, probably March or April.

As I recall, rambling was that it won't be out in the 2008 FY and that was a while ago. Nevertheless, even if the game is ready to go gold in October, I think the chances of them releasing the game this year is slim.

Both the 360 and PS3 have a full lineup this fall, and I don't think Capcom will want to share the market with anyone with such a big title. A Jan. release ala RE4 GC or LP is more likely. The Feb release of DMC4 served them really well (they expected to ship 1.5 million only, but they're over 2 million now).

Pachinko. Think of it as a pinball-slot machine hybrid. IIRC, one was out for Onimusha too.

[Sunglasses]

A pinball slot machine?

[Helegad]

Lol, never heard of it. What are you meant to do, roll balls down the slot?
