Resident Evil 5 : more than 400 people are working on it

Capcom has revealed some very interesting details about Resident Evil 5 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in its latest press release.

[Hellsvacancy]

389 of them r playing it Lol

Sorry that was a poor joke

[xaphanze]

LOL it was funny.Bubbles for you.

[KobeT24]

LBP Only has 25 developers working on it and 23 of them are on a a very long coffee break.

But really 400? seems like alot to me. Looks like nothing is being held back.

[mikeslemonade]

How long has it been in development? Some of the team must have been helping on Lost Planet, Dead Rising, or DMC4. Nothing we have seen so far makes us go "wow 400 people are working on this".

[barom]

I think it's more like, the core is 100 and then all these other guys come in and out as they are needed.

If not then I personally think Capcom lacks talent. I mean 400 people and they haven't been able to evolve that much from RE4? I mean everyone keeps saying Dead Space is better (of those who have played both) and it's made by EA.

[rebirthofcaos]

sadly it is going to be a crap game thanks to the 360 dvd ><

[DavidMacDougall]

Yeah its a shame 50gb of space , they could have more z0mb13's onscreen , nicer textures , crisper uncompressed audio but the bots dont care about this game they have the "New Xbot Live Experience" they will be to busy with that and all its ripped off glory

Disagrees = Im right and your 2 busy crying 2 talk

[borgome]

Why did you spell "zombies" with numbers, thats odd. Oh and I disagree because everything you said is your opinion.

[LarVanian]

400 people are working on a game thats basically going to be Resident Evil 4 with a new paint job?

[borgome]

Would you rather have them come out with totally different gameplay mechanics and a completely different control scheme that nobody will like. Of course its going to be similar to number 4, because it was freaking awesome.

[LarVanian]

Yeah, I would prefer it if RE5 went back to being a "Survival horror" game instead of an "Action game with unlimited ammo".
Also would it kill Capcom to add some new enemy animations?

[Panthers]

I also wish that it wasnt a "shoot people in the head" fest. But I will love it no doubt

[Mr_Kuwabara]

I hear (read) ya man. It would be great if they could bring RE back to its roots and not make it a third person shooter like the 4th one.

[borgome]

Did you even play the fourth one. Its not third person, its over the shoulder perspective, like GeOW.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Borgome, that's what third person shooters are..

[PimpHandStrong]

MGS4 had a team of 200 and took 3-4 years

this game better rule

i think it will

[borgome]

She will, she will.

[Tacticity]

It's long dead if they only realsed it for PS3 we wouldent have to wait this long.
But it looks like the good old times with Capcom is over.

[madmike]

if only they would bring it out for the ps3 thats why your hated so much i think every one should injoy this game its going to be a aaa game.i know the xbox360 gamers will buy the game anyway because there true gamers and not haters.

[pshizle]

badass

[Tacticity]

The good old times with Capcom is over.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Yeah I would love to have a new gameplay mechanic for this game. RE4 was a good game for its time, but the gameplay is definately last gen. Its stiff and not being able to walk and shoot at the same time is bogus. I wont even bother with this game if it plays like RE4. I mean, why should I when God of War 3 and Killzone 2 is gonna be out ne ways?

[borgome]

I understand your point, but there are plenty of games with a third person perspective. I'm glad RE4 and 5 aren't in that category. I think the over the shoulder perspective and the controls are what make this game stand out from the rest.

[ofx360]

1st person - seeing from characters eyes

3rd person - seeing through a "camera"

RE4,5 - 3rd person

[monkey602]

Ofx360 is right. Over the Shoulder cam is still 3rd Person.

The way it goes is the in game character counts as the first persons view. Your T.V. the second and the your view the 3rd. Making it third person view no matter what angle.

First person is through the eyes of the in game character because you all see the one thing (no duh on that one)

[DA_SHREDDER]

Its not like this game is an open world gta type of game. Their still is hope. I think all this game needs is a better gameplay mechanic like being able to shoot and move at the same time,, Also, TPS's were okay back in the day, but I think they should make this game a fps. Then you could call this game crack. They should use the COD 4 engine for this game.

OH yeah,, one more thing. Just because 400 people are working on it doesn't mean its gonna be good. The last RE that was good was part 2. I havent played an RE that was as good as that since then. Cross your fingers.

[Freezingduck]

So more contents!

[trny]

It's just going to be resident evil 4.1 with next gen graphics just like soul calibur and DMC4. Don't buy it.

[Tacticity]

It just aint the same resident evil anymore. Capcom just keeps f up the franchise.

[Hellsvacancy]

When i think about the games i plan on buyin over the next 6 - 8 months not once hav i thought about purchasing Res5, i think its lost its appeal to myself

My list....

Dead Space
Little Big Planet
Bioshock
Far Cry 2
Resistance2 (i will probably rent)
Killzone 2

[DaTruth]

I forgot about this game(Goes to store to pre-order)!

[Sony Rep]

Mediocre, just like Resident Evil 4.

[xg-ei8ht]

I think people are underestimating this title.

Looks very good, different enemies move at different speeds, and animations for all characters have been completely redone.

Graphics, well have a look at a high quality vid, not some crap from youtube or gametrailers. nothing on gt is hd. Nothing.

The only site i know which offers true hd footage is gamersyde.

http://www.gamersyde.com/le...

hd trailer.

[DaTruth]

Download from psn. That's Hi-Def.

[DA_SHREDDER]

If you like over the shoulder views then you should play Uncharted and the new Socom. Both games are really wicked. Also, to the guy above me. I too am not hyped at all for this game. There is a game that noone is talking about that is gonna overshawdow this game, and it too is a multi plat.

Its been said that Lucas Arts is gonna make a new Battlefront game. Im looking forward to that game then this. Dont get me wrong, I might rent this from gamefly, but I would never buy a game that doesn't have good gameplay, and this game, my friend plays just like RE4. Just ask anyone who went to E3. Even the media was made about this one.

[Mad_Rhetoric]

it funny how they can turn a good thing into a negative,

[bunbun777]

Seriously- except for the retarded Sony Rep guy saying he thought RE4 sucked and da Shredder talking about "last gen" controls- If you enjoyed -or like most everyone in the world that played RE4- LOVED the game- how can you be that upset? We have no clue whats in store for us this time around- if you don't like 4 then why are you here anyways? This game is gonna be a day 1 for sure!

I'll be more than happy to criticize after I've played the living crap out of it-

[DA_SHREDDER]

Ive seen that game play out and even the devs themselves said they made the game for themselves and nobody else. It reminds of an old ps2 game called Extermination. It was an okay game for its time, just like RE4, but only old people could appreciate a game like that anymore.

Also, to bun bun. Even the media was a little annoyed at RE5 at E3 because of the controls. What Im saying is what everyone is saying, and its true. There is no reason why the game plays like its older counter parts. The game is coming out in 09 for christ's sakes, but to your defence I will say that Capcom said they might refine or "westernize" the controls,, but that doesn't mean they will.

I think they need to take RE5 to another level. They changed it up in part 4, they could do more then just add better graphics to an old gaming engine. If it was up to me, I would make it a FPS, add multiplayer, and add all types of customization options. Then it might justify a $65 dollar price tag. Then again, Im gonna rent this game from gamefly cause I know it wont live up to my expectations.

[monkey602]

Turn Resi into an FPS? Are you taking the pi$$ or what? As if we don't have enough First Person games on the market at the moment.

[bunbun777]

Well in one camp you have the RE oldies that just shake their canes in dismay at the new layout- I'm sorry for those ones i enjoyed the old resident evils too but i really liked 4......it was fun- less scary but very quick-paced.

On the other hand you have those that secretly want this game to be a FPS- except da Shredder he's honest about it- which is where 4 starting leaning....I actually enjoy the fact that you can't run and gun- make every shot count , hold your ground, then run like crazy! Pretty soon people will say RE5 doesn't have enough ammo... (sort of joking)

I am interested in Dead Space but for me I have not seen enough to make it a clincher- looks like it might be bad ass though and if it is- i'm on it!

[monkey602]

bunbun people are never happy. There wont be enough ammo for some too much for others :P

Also there are a load of vids for Dead Space over on Gametrailers. Developer Diaries, 5 Animated Comics (creating a background story) and some gameplay cams. There is a lot of stuff to watch and get excited over.

[dan88123]

They will probably pass 2.3 million copies.

[Hellsvacancy]

I think it looks great and yes i am gonna buy Dead Space over Resident Evil 5, i dont dislike the Resident Evil games ive got 1,2,3 and 4 and i will at sum point play 5 but its not a 1st day release 4 me

All i said was "not once hav i thought about purchasing Res5, i think its lost its appeal to myself"

MY OPINION

[monkey602]

While I can't fault you on you're opinion I can agree with you about Dead Space. It looks amazing and definitely deserves a chance to show us what it's got. I'll be getting it the earliest possible second I can.

[Hellsvacancy]

I love the whole Event Horizon meets John Carpenters The Thing theme in Dead Space - Fantastic

Im not sayin Res5 is gonna b a bad game im a long time player and fan of the series theres just sum-thin holding me back from buyin it in a hurry,

Im not hating, theres just so many other games that im more hyped for

[monkey602]

Thats the perfect way of describing it - Event Horizon meets the Thing - I have little time for EA games this generation with the exception of Skate, but I have to say they seem to be doing a good job with Dead Space. I'll be a lot more hyped for Resi towards the end of the year when it's close to release. I'll be getting very few games between now and Christmas but DS will be one of them. Along with LBP and probably Gears 2.

There is also a severe shortage of survival horror games this generation (I'm not even going to go into the debate wether Resi is survival horror anymore)

Damn now I want to go watch the Thing

[DarkBlood]

im a huge fan of resident evil series other then legend of dragoon(top favourite), Final fantasy 7,8,9 and the rest of them cuz i love rpgs) dragon ball z. those are all my favourite series i care so much about. so im getting resident evil 5 and i dont care what anyone else said it isn't high school where what you do makes you cool or not.

[Droid]

but that doesn't leave any left for making the actual game!

damn, Cell.

[DA_SHREDDER]

I was just giving my opinions about stuff. I guess you guys dont agree. I too could give a rats @ss what any of you people think, I just have to say that games should be offering more then what we pay for. RE5 and Dead Space dont justify a $65 price tag. Games like Killzone 2, Call of Duty, God of War 3 are AAA titles and I feel that games that aren't of that caliber should be priced alot lower. Why do you people not care about these things?

[monkey602]

Wether they justify a full price tag or not is also your opinion. Resi has founded a huge fanbase over the years and there are many people who aren't going to be upset that this'll cost them the same as any other game. As you said it's all opinion and to be honest I'm going to choose a Resi game over God of War or Killzone anyday.

As for anybody caring... I think we'd all like games to be cheaper but that's not going to happen now is it. Most developers put a lot of time into these things and deserve to be treated just like everyone else in the industry. The annual games like EA sports however I do believe should be cheaper. And cheap movie tie-ins

[cereal_killa]

I cant wait till RE5 I loved RE4 and felt it was the best of all in terms of game play story wise goes to RE1 or 2. Dead Space look promising ill give a rent first.

[Blasphemy]

Damn that's alot of people working on one game. Never heard of this many people on one game before. This game should be amazing.

[Bladeslayer]

i'm happy at the direction capcom has taken the resident evil series the old style was just too linear damn i got so good at the older series i could beat 1-code veronica in less than an hour and the controls were always clunky i wish i could have played 4 the graphics were spectacular and 5 looks even more amazing and i'm sure there will be a lot of survival horror elements in this title and as far as capcom going down the tubes i think your way off.
