Resident Evil 5 pushed back to sometime in 2009

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed some bad news today. Capcom's Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi had told Famitsu that Resident Evil 5 will not be making a 2008 release. He also stated that a 2010 release would be to late. So Takeuchi expected to ship Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 sometime in 2009.

Famitsu also revealed some new details regarding Resident Evil 5, like that your playing with Chris Redfield which appeared in former Resident Evil games as well.

[Bill Gates]

HOLY CRAP!!!

That's not pushed back, that's more like kicked back, and pushed to the side.

[synce]

IGN's translator says 2008. I'll take his word for it instead.

[Toxic Shock]

If you want the "True" story look here at the english version. I posted before this guy poached the story with some BS .nl site. It's 2008 on all the english sites! Don't buy into this donkey's sensationalism!!

Also has the alternative story posted by TnS which has even more from the interview. This guy just has a headline and is a snake.

[THAMMER1]

I was looking forward to this one big time.

[The Swordsman]

Oh my. Some two years! The heads of hardcore RE fans around the world must be exploding with rage.

[gunnerforlife]

[PS360PCROCKS]

*Tears slowly start dropping*

[timmyp53]

[Salvadore]

*Tears running down*

[neil1988]

thats crap i cant belive it . this means we wont see a real next gen grafic resident evil game for 2 years .

[ItsDubC]

While this definitely is a bummer, it's not a surprise. Quality PS3/360 titles take time. I just read an article in which an upper-management figure at THQ stated that PS3 and 360 games typically take 2 to 3 years to develop.

RE 1 1996

Wow it seems like they have decided to take longer & longer to release them, 2009 this is too long Capcom We love Resident Evil please dont make us wait so long for them :(

[cr33ping_death]

damn it all to hell :) oh well guess ill make do with RESIDENT EVIL CHRONICLES on the Wii.

[neil1988]

if it wrent for resident evil umbrella chronicles coming out this year i would not be happey

[djt23]

freakin kidding me i want to play this game

[SilvaSurfa]

Than P. Moore leaving Micro.

It's kinda obvious... It's a game that's in dev for both console[PS3 & Xbox360] and they need tune-up the game to running smooth on each hardware. So, i'm not surprise for this announcement.

[ReconHope]

noooooooooooooooo

[mrk01]

By that time, the Blu-ray vs HD-DVD will be over
I bet 360's will be released with Blu-ray drives by 2009.

[AngryTypingGuy]

This is the next-gen game that I am looking forward to the most! Maybe they should change the name of this game to Duke Nukem Forever.

[Jamaicangmr]

Ok i hope this is wrong and the it's mis-translated and it's actually 08 because 09 isn't a push back he'll thats almost a cancelation.

[PS360PCROCKS]

holy shi* 2009?! and not just like early 2009, it's "sometime 2009" wtf Capcom? screw LP2 or anything else you got going and finish your two flagship games and get them out, not delay them! Re5 and DMC4 should both be out in 2008, this is crap!

[HandShandy]

... But I'm not a fan of waiting around.

At least we know this game will be amazing when it does come. C'mon we will all have forgot about this by this time next week and suddenly come 2009 we will be like... OH resident Evil hello!

[Havince]

im gonna go and run over my own head with my car

[PS360PCROCKS]

could you record that for us and have someone post it because I would love to see how you run over your own head with your own car... :)

[Tommie]

I could be wrong, but I translated it from the source from where I got the news: www.gamefront.de. Its a German website and they are very reliable. This is what it says in German, so be free to translate this into English:

"- Produzent Jun Takeuchi sagt, dass Resident Evil 5 2008 wohl nicht mehr rauskommen wird. 2010 hält er aber für zu spät"

[Havince]

I will park my car on a hill put a briack beging tyre with rope tied to it. lay my head on floor, then pull the string. thus squashed head

[DeadlyFire]

Capcom making to many other games to care about making any more than one RE game per console generation now? So we will see RE 6 in 2015 or later?

[Rhezin]

HEY PEOPLE AT LEAST WE GOT SILENT HILL 5 NEXT YEAR, Maybe dead rising 2, and left 4 dead this winter. lots os zombie killin action.
