In a surprising turn of events, Capcom seems to have confirmed that Resident Evil 5 will be getting a PC release. Capcom sent an updated release schedule list to the website MCV, which lists Resident Evil 5 as being for the PC, as well as the 360 and PS3. The date for the release is March 13th, which would land it with a day-and-date release with the console versions.
Shacknews contacted Capcom for comment, and they responded, saying they can neither confirm nor deny a PC version.
Check out more at Shack News.
In other news, Resident Evil Realm has got a couple interviews (English versions are available) with several motion actors from Resident Evil 5. Theres even a Leon interview from his actor in Degeneration. Be sure to check the page out!

Ah man...that'd be great. I wouldn't have to buy a PS3 then.
But wasn't the RE4 PC port awful...?Last edited by Jill's Boob; 11-04-2008 at 02:35 PM.

My PC sucks, I couldn't even play TR Underworld's demo. I know I won't be able to play RE5 either. This is so lame.

That was because of a few reasons. Firstly, they outsourced the port to Ubisoft. Secondly, they didn't build the engine/game with PC in mind.

third party patches made it better. That's the big advantage of a PC version, endless modding. That and the framework (?) engine is PC based, so its gonna be right at home.But wasn't the RE4 PC port awful...?Last edited by A-J; 11-04-2008 at 02:39 PM.

Well, I am going to keep my fingers crossed that RE5 for the PC gets released on 3/13/09...but I guess that would be counterproductive to 360/PS3 console sales.
And I will be in the same boat as JL; needing a PC upgrade.
Still great news on the PC release. Thanks fellas.

I can't afford a PS3 system, and I wouldn't buy it If I had to. So, I guess I'll be upgrading this piece of junk.

Ah, I should have realized that Ubisoft was probably the publisher. Thanks

I had no doubts that there will be a pc port, I just hope it will be released after the consoles, like after a couple of mounth [insert evil laugh here]. And it was interesting to read the interviews, they were great.

I will be getting it on PS3 but I hope a they put out a PC version so more fans can ejoy the game. I find it hard to believe that they will release it that early but who knows.

You're right, it's hard to believe that PC port is going to be the same date release as PS3 and X-BOX360. But anyway, it's the only way I will be able to play it. I guess I'm going to need a Core Duo with 4 GB and 300GB HD...

Since I don't think Capcom is so stupid to cannibalize 360/Ps3 sales with a PC version i think 2 or 3 months later on PC's is a more realistic release data.
However I have to agree with Dot50cal, RE5 on PC's will be the definitive version, and DMC4 on PC's was better than 360 and PS3, so I'm expecting the same with RE5.

Chances are pretty slim. Hell, the 'Press Start' screen is apparently too much for the Wii to handle. They might be able to tone it down for the Wii, as they did with for 4 for the PS2, but it will be a while just the same.
