Isn't it 4 years after RE4?

I thought it was a year afterwards?
Or is it a year after Degeneration?

Possibly. Maybe. But I'm thinking that Spoiler:

someone special means Jill.

I think it makes more sense given this game's main character...

That is a good point.
Spoiler:

'Masters Of Removing' could refer to Chris taking the parasite out of Jill.

Ugh. I hate Capcom and their mind trickery.

[Archelon]

Degeneration takes place 1 year after RE4. RE5 takes place 4 years after RE4.

[Vogue_Dirge]

^seriously?
Wow.
So 2008?
And here I was thinking it was only a year after. And I call myself a fan.

Destructoid has posted a rather lengthy preview of the RE5 demo from the recent Capcom event. There isn't really anything we haven't already seen or read, but they do mention that they were told players will be able to choose which side of the screen Chris and Sheva are on. Whether this means you'll be able to switch from left to right and vice versa with the press of a button ala MGS4 or Uncharted, or if it will be something you'll have to change in the Options menu, remains to be seen.

I thought I'd post it, though, since this is the first time I've heard about it.

Resident Evil 5 Producer Masachika Kawata, talks about developing on PC/360/PS3...
Although porting the game from PC to 360 is more straightforward, he did not find the PS3 to be too tough.

Gametrailers has a nice retrospective on Leon and Claire's exploits from the events of RE2 up until Degeneration. There are a few minor mistakes here and there, but it's worth a look nonetheless.

It also hints at the end to a Resident Evil retrospective coming February 5th, 2009. For those unfamiliar with Gametrailers' retrospectives, they basically look at the history of a game series, dividing the feature up into several videos that look at all of the games in a franchise. They've done them for Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Zelda, Silent Hill, etc.

Biohazard 3 is up now on the Japanese PSN for 600Y

EDIT: No Bio5 demo, but there is a "new" video up.. not sure what it is.

[Skunky]

Wow, cool!!!
Thanks Umon!
Maybe they are trying to ease the pain of the Bio5 demo delay?
New video too? I'm checking it out now!

Edit: New video, 203mb
Bio3, 385mb (with dual shock 3). The screen shots look clearer than the ps1 version I remember. Hmmm...

Edit 2: the video is the same as the Tokyo Game Show, shown earlier, with Japanese subtitles. But it's nice to have it in its highest quality.

Now I need another JP PSN card to get Bio3 (I've only got 200yen on my account)

Yeah, funny I kinda expected in the lead up to the release of RE5 they might just do this. Good stuff, they are generally quite well produced.

A Degeneration theme is available for download in the Platstation Store. It is free. It's not the best theme, but at least its something.
