Cool can't wait for it :D

[unlimited]

Blue ray exclusive confirmed..but still they should of least make one game exclusive for sony,,

[MADGameR]

I hope this one takes place in the Arklay Forest going to the Spencer Mansion because I love RE1 original and remake! Zombies+Mansion+Moonlight Sonata=True RE classic!

[lawman1108]

I thought they were going to make A GAME

[barom]

oh man, I can't wait

[Kleptic]

just seeing that picture reminds me of the 1st RE...what a great game...I hope this CGi movie has all the great acting of the original game (all of which is arguably on par with every crap RE movie made so far)...

"What??...What is this?..."
"What is it?"
"Blood....I hope THIS is not CHRIS's blood..."

"Jill...step away from the door Jill...I am going to kick THIS door down"

"Wesker is a crazy man"...

thats it for now...brings back memories...

[HarryEtTubMan]

Awesome news... I love RESIDENT EVIL!

[Zhuk]

I am pretty excited for this, the live action films were pretty decent but this will be incredible and more true to the games since it is in CG

[predator]

lets hope they actually follow the game plot, then it would be amazing

[MK_Red]

Now that's how RE franchise should be adapted into movie. Avoid non-game characters like Alice at all cost.

Superb news and find.

[patriotZero]

it's comin' RE5 ps3 exc. you 'll see

[socomnick]

Its a movie you idiot its coming for everyone.

[mighty_douche]

"its coming for everyone"

....with a blu-ray player!

[WilliamRLBaker]

well then sony has secured that the movie will suck then and will not be popular wont they? because when is this gonna release a year from now? dvd will still be selling more then blu ray and hd dvd combined if they release this only on blu ray then the will secure the fact it wont sell.

[Skerj]

Hmm Will, tell that to the Final Fantasy movies on HDDVD oh wait. ..

[WilliamRLBaker]

which one? spirits within? or Finalcrap 7 advent children?
Since both we're published and produced by sony pictures...obviously no hd dvd right?

But My point was this....If they release this movie only on blu ray I.E not on dvd or hd dvd, Then they will gurantee the movies low sales, People aren't gonna purcahse blu ray players to see anther resident evil movie.

[predator]

im with u MK, they need to focus on in game characters, and hopfuly actual game storylines, the firts rezi or code veronica would be good (my opinion)

[akaFullMetal]

might be promising hope it turns out great

[allforcalisto]

good to hear.

imo they shouldn't do Resi 4

ugh...how do you turn the most b-movie- styled game into a watchable movie?

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

if it is i wanna see some cameos at least...and i wanna see zombies, not a crazy cult like in RE4

[predator]

has any1 seen the 3rd movie that has just come out, any good?

[mighty_douche]

not much to write home about, run of the mill store, action, acting etc. still if you enjoyed the previous movies you'll probably enjoy this just as much!

dont wanna give any story away! well.. what story there is.

oh, nice find to and cheers for posting! now, if we could just change that crappy avatar lol...

[predator]

there isnt a chance in hell of changing my pic, haha, im guesing ur either liverpool or chelsea

[mighty_douche]

ARSENAL mate, and we'll be kicking your ass this weekend!!

hopefully :0

[predator]

hahaha ive got to remember this, i shall be sending u a pm come sat afternoon with a score line of 3-0 to the reds hahaha, all seriusly it should be a good game

[PopEmUp]

United Rules and liverpool suck and mostly Chelsea Suck badly
About Arsenal I think we United are kicking your nut this weekend just wait and see if Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie can do about it since we got Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, Tevez

Back to the topic

This RES will turn out great if they keep actual in game character like RES1

[The Wood]

all the way

[mighty_douche]

woohooo... its gotta better than the live action Resi' movies.

ive been hoping for more CGI movies lately, with so many films like spider-man using huge amounts of CG the way i see it is just go all the way and use it through-out.

MAKE IT 18's PLEASE!!!

also im guessing its gonna be a blu-ray exclusive.

[Drano]

Two words : "Hell" and "Yeah".

Jump Beyond.

[Azurite]

Hopefully we'll see a story coverage of all Resident Evil games in the future!

[THE TERMINATOR]

RE5 will be PS3 exclusive. Sony are behind MGS movie and MGS4 is exclusive. You watch next year RE5 will be announced as PS3 exclusive.

[Drano]

When you want to post such Flamebait, why don't you offer us a couple of sources?

Jump Beyond.

[lawman1108]

July 20, 2005 - Capcom Japan today confirmed what we'd already learned from trusty Famitsu: that Resident Evil 5 (better known as Biohazard 5 in Japan) is in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

For the love of god, I mean this trailer was shown on the 360 at E3!!!!

[rockem13]

This is the way the RE movies should have been made from the start.

[goodganja]

Sony shouldnt even be funding or doing any business with Capcom. They're known as money hungry backstabbers and when the film comes close to completion, they'll turn their back on Sony like Nintendo did back in the past.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

[mighty_douche]

as the movie will probably be produce by one of sonys movie franchises which would mean they actually have more control over it than capcom.

to be honest in my opinion this would suggest to me that sony and capcom are trying to strengthen their relationship which can only mean good things for ps3 owners and movie fans alike.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Yeah your right but there is probably a reason behind this move.

[RedSeven]

Why is there a picture of a zombie from Resident Evil on the news link?

[maggotmx]

cuz its a RE movie??

[gunnerforlife]

uh why is sony still working with capcom?

[X]

What about you Barry?
Don't worry Jill..........I'VE GOT THIS!!!!!!

I can't wait for this to come out.

[monkey602]

YES! I love anything that has to do with Resident Evil. This is great news.

[Darkiewonder]

O.O

Wow, I'll be keeping an eye out for this one.

[Bonsai1214]

oh heck yeah. give me more Ada!! woot. (i better get a lot of agrees for that statement... haha)

and since its CG, i don't have to see any actress that try to look like her. they can reproduce her in all her digital glory!!

[DJ]

(and what the Halo 3 and Lost Planet CG Trailers accomplished) I think CG is the way to go for game-to-film adaptations.

[Skerj]

ENRICO!! In any case I hope this movie rocks because the whole "Alice" thing was an abomination on my RE loving self. I thought they could have salvaged the story with Apocalypse but the last one just ruined that.

[KINGDRAMA]

scratch my back, ill scratch yours?

re6 is exclusive then? I suggest everyone that has a ps3 buy this and show some love to capcom.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Make a good movie based on RE4 and we'll talk.

[KINGDRAMA]

change is coming.

i wonder if the ps3s bluray player can be updated to read multiple layer discs......bcuz IF SO...

[ps3FTW]

I thought this was a game.

[mikeslemonade]

Meh..., I know i'm in a minority of not prefering cgi over a realistic movie in N4G.

[jackdoe]

Can't be worse than those Paul Anderson movies. I hope.

[jaja1434]

So after reading most of the comments in this thread this is what I have surmised.

Sony sucks for working with Capcom because they umm "betrayed" them?

Since Sony/Capcom are working together to make the movie, the next RE game just has to be a PS3 exclusive?

And lastly from the intelligent bunch, they hope it will be a great movie.

To the people who claimed points 1 and or 2. Your, well, idiots but I do find your deductive reasoning interesting, from a purely comical view that is.

And to the ones who made the 3 point. Hell yea I hope its fantastic. Think of how far CG has come since FF-The Spirits Within, and how great it would look with current CGI standards! Plus Zombies... :)

WESKEERRRRRR

[theoneandonly]

Yeah? So? Who really gives a sh%t that VGChartz says the PS3 outsold the XBOX360 for a week and a half?

Its for the week you moron!!!!!!!

Sure, its at least a sign that its breathing.

But enjoy while it lasts "SMEE", because once the Halo 3, Pro Evolution Soccer + Half Life bundle drops............and Mass Effect is released......you can kiss Europe GOODBYE.

Its going all the way 360, ALL THE WAY this time.

ACE COMBAT 6, Virtua Fighter 5 Online is already out there everywhere, and soon there will be bundles with that, with Guitar Hero 3, COMMAND AND CONQUER, CONDEMNED: Criminal Origin, and many others like CRACKDOWN to just start off.

And by the way smee you sad little fool, the Halo/Forza/Gears of War effect hasn't even begun yet.

When it does, the PS3 won't be breathing in EUROPE.

GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 is a comin', and its got EXCLUSIVE LEVELS FOR EUROPE.

You forgot they haven't even launched the real heavy hitters yet, or SPLINTER CELL 5 and other big games like BATTLEFIELD MODERN COMBAT 3, FALLOUT 3, LOST ODYSSEY, FABLE 2, TOO HUMAN, PROJECT: OFFSET or the mega-hit ALAN WAKE.

And then there's a little game called: PERFECT DARK.

Soak it up you little mag, because once those games arrive......the PS3 is DEAD in Europe.

On the opposite end, the 360 will never be "DEAD" in Japan because nothing can kill it. And its not going away, sorry "SMEE".

=XD

[TheMART]

So they're making a movie for the Betastation 3? Ah seems just right indeed, it's positioned as a movieplaying HD device.

Capcom, when will you launch a new IP for a game on the 360 and then bring it to the PS3 a year later? Lost Planet, Dead Rising, they were all so fine already a year ago on the 360.

[jasonz24]

I just recently found out who got the lead role on this movie. She's a person I know in real life; I just got an email from her a day or two ago. She's going to Japan to start production in a couple of weeks. If you want the information, drop me a line. I might direct you to her IMDB page. :P
