OXM UK writes: "Resident Evil 5 isn't called Resident Evil 5 in Japan. It's called Biohazard 5, keeping in with the series tradition of Resident Evil for the Westerners and Biohazard for the Japanese. But why?
"In late 1994, Capcom Entertainment in the US was starting to ramp up marketing plans for the game that would eventually become known as Resident Evil in the US," Chris Kramer tells GamePolitics. "Capcom Japan had let us know that the name of the game was going to be 'Biohazard' in Japan, but I pointed out to the person who ran marketing at the time that it would be next to impossible for Capcom to register the name in the US..."
Dofuss says: "Let's not kid ourselves, if your reading this you have probably already have an opinion of Resident Evil 5.You will know about the 'unique' controls and know how they will affect your enjoyment. If the barrier of these controls is insurmountable for you, don't buy it. While the game is more varied than the demo let on, the controls never improve is exacerbated by the camera, which at times zooms in so close the that you loose peripheral vision. But I am not here for a technical breakdown of the game. I'm here to tell you what I think of it.
Bear with me on this. RE5 is like a bowling ball which has had an ice cream scoop sized hole taken out of the middle of it. Well not quite the middle, a little off center. It feels a little hollow and unbalanced. But the 'bowling' experience, throwing the ball, the atmosphere and slipping around in rental shoes, remain fun even if the game isn't as 'good'."
They've been the same for about 4 years now, and even to an extent, have been the same since the original RE came out over a decade ago.
You would think it's time for Capcom to make a change....
I think unique is being used to be pc. Think special or rubbish instead if you like htough I can't be sure as I didn't write it.
Newsgroup247.com, a Hong Kong portal, were at the recent Asia Game Show in which they show footage of online coop for the upcoming game Resident Evil 5.
