News report topic! (For newsreporting, not discussion)

Or possibly Wesker's not in on this little outbreak, given that he isn't supposed to have a real Master Plagas sample and Ada's other employers do..and that other employer may be Tricel. But if he isn't behind the outbreak it is somewhat possible that he tried to gain control of the town and they turned against him, and so he manipulates Chris and the BSAA to go in and cause a big enough distraction that he can get in and grab whatever it is he needs with none the wiser he was there.

It's the sort of thing he tends to do. I always wondered who tipped off Leon about Ashley's location...if it was mentioned in RE4 I forget.

Before PS2 version was released (along with Separate Ways) lots of people thought it was Ada that informed Leon about Ashley's location. But in SW Ada seems to be surprised to see him at the village.

It might have been Wesker then. Creating another diversion so Krauser and Ada could get the job done and if Leon managed to get Ashley so what? Doesn't affect his plans.

No, in Seperate Ways Wesker was the one that ordered Ada to kill Leon, because:

RE5 rated R in England!!!
It shall be uncut! :D
Possibly bad news for Australia as I'm sure the ugly censorship issue will come up again, as we don't have R rated games. Thank god (make that Sony) for region free PS3 games.

Mercenaries confirmed!
But we all knew that already... :P

Edit: so does that say 65mins of 53 cut scenes?

65 minutes doesn't sound too long, atleast not as long as i was expecting considering the game should have a lot of wesker in it :(

65 minutes of cut scenes is pretty long I think...
I'm pretty sure that's longer than what RE4 had.
How long is long enough or too long?

im pretty sure RE4 had a lot more then just one hour of cutscenes ..

hell CVX's Chris/Wesker ending was like 15 minutes long in itself ..that's 1/5th of this game's total cutscene time ..

i really want to believe that they've got their times screwed up and its a lot more then that ..

This better be a BIG freakin' mistake. 65 minutes just won't cut the mustard for me.

I agree. It was implied that the revelations in this game were to be on a large scale. 65 minutes is a bit flimsy.

Well, they can tell the story through documents too.

^ I think files, along with ink ribbons and save rooms, have been axed.

Guys, again, this topic isn't for discussion of the news :P It is just for reporting.

Sorry Dot :P

I just got an email from e-capcom.
It' was pretty much a reminder that there are 4 days to order the Biohazard 5 boxed set.
It also says they are going to release a RE4 Leon Bomber Jacket. Not sure if it's a 1:1 with the game version.
