I can't wait!!

I know for a fact a lot of people are likely going to complain about the game's graphics when they first see it. I think in motion is where it will truly shine though.

I don't think people will complain, I think people will be quite surprised.

Can't wait to see the screens, I'm guessing Famitsu will big up the PS3 version and won't say much about the 360 version.

Screens and more than likely guna be from the PS3 version also.

Still be good to see them though.

Well with Capcom's recent success on the 360 it would be pretty smart of them to show off the 360 version of the game to help 360 sales over there.

There are likely many japanese people that still have no idea resident evil 5 is going to release on the 360. Or maybe they do know, but don't believe Capcom is going to follow through. With how long Capcom has had final 360 dev kits I see no reason for them to not show the 360 version.

We still don't know if Capcom plan to release it on the 360 in Japan, it's a rumor which hasn't been denied to my knowledge.

I don't see why they'd do such a thing. A highly anticipated game such as that could actually help the 360 in Japan.

Can't wait to see it, hopefully some real screenshots. Gameplay, please!

Well Grift the 360 succeeding in Japan helps not only Capcom, but all other Japanese developers. I'm pretty sure they would like for the market to be as competitive in Japan as it is here in the USA.

Microsoft better try their ass off to make sure Resident Evil 5 releases in Japan because if it doesn't... we can consider the fact that Microsoft got Resident Evil 5on the 360 in the first place as almost pointless.

Japan loves the game why not use it as a weapon to get more Japanese support. With a game like Resident Evil 5 on the 360 I could easily see the 360 version outselling the PS3 version.

It's not almost pointless though. If anything the Microsoft/Capcom relationship shows that Japanese publishers can be successful on the platform outside of Japan. That is motive to develop for the platform, much more than selling software in Japan would be, atleast at this point.

The 360 version may outsell the PS3 version, depending on how things go for the next year or so, but that's really not the point. Could the 360 version outsell the PS3 version in Japan, a region where there are already more PS3 owners (who are all probably dying for a killer app)? I sorta doubt it.

It's definitly much more important to Microsoft that the game ships in Japan than it is to Capcom or other Japanese developers. The market being strong in Japan does not necesarly mean that the 360 has to succeed, there are other platforms to sell software on too.

You got a point grift. I think Resident Evil 5 (especially after the success of re4) could be a major system seller and could possibly cause a lot of people to buy more 360s than ps3s.

Thats what I meant by possibly outselling the ps3.

Sorry, but I believe REhorror is wrong here.

Famitsu says in its latest issue that they'll have the following coverage next week:

- Monthly Nintendo News
- FF12 Revenant Wings
- Monster Hunter Portable 2nd
- Super Robot Taisen W

Not a single word about RE5 in this weeks Famitsu. And REHorror was wrong many times in the past. So take it with a grain of salt.
