RE5 Online: cross-platform?

G-Mutated Birkin queries: “Some games feature this and some don't. Are there any plans of bringing the online accross two platforms? Meaning I'm on a PS3 while a friend is on his 360, and we can play together? Has this been discussed?”

Snow (freshly minted as a new Capcom employee!) responds: “No cross platform play with RE5. You'd have to convince both Sony and MS to make their servers place nice with each other... Which, unfortunately, may never happen. J”

Only G-Mutated Birkin on the Capcom boards could be stupid enough to ask about 360/PS3 cross compatibility hahaha

[Jill Lover]

Here's the new trailer from Leipzig.

It's basically the three different versions of the E3 trailer re-edited into one with a few extra new scenes for good measure. It does, however, finally show the blonde girl again, albeit briefly.

UPDATE:

Mad Catz has signed a deal with Capcom to make peripherals based on Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, and Bionic Commando.

Great interview with the RE5 sound team:

Shibata has a great track record in recent years, so having him as a sound director should be a treat alongside the full orchestral music. Something they haven't done in 8 years.

Great interview with the RE5 soundteam

They even mention that Resident Evil 5 will feature an original song

New Resident Evil 5 Interview

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=206755

Kawata says it really is a horror game and it has quite a good storyline..
Co-op some how increases the level of horror.
At one point you will be fighting in the dark, and one character will have to carry a torch while the other one shoots.
They are planning on creating a video montage of game play footage where they will compile the ways the two partners interact.
The game will make you scared, cry, and laugh.
The first half will be more of an action game and the second half more horror.

The first video is actually old..it was released some time after E3 and on G4TV.

[Archelon]

The video isn't old. The demo being played is.

Leon in RE5??

This is an e-mail sent by actor Jamisin Matthews to myself, after seeing that he was listed in IMDb as "Leon Kennedy" in Biohazard 5. In his official site, he sayd we should look forward for him in "Biohazard 5: Degeneration". He says he's working in Biohazard 5 though.
Personally, I think he's the face of Leon in RED, and just got things mixed up.

[Dot50Cal]

It sounds like he's confusing Degeneration and Biohazard 5 to me.
