Gamespot is reporting that Capcom is aiming for a launch on the PS3 and 360 at the same time, for the next chapter in the Resident Evil series. From the article: "In an interview published in Xbox360ism (a special edition of Dorimaga), Capcom Research & Development division chief Keiji Inafune said he expects Resident Evil 5 to be released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 if possible. 'We want to grow the Resident Evil series into a multi-platform franchise, so we hope to release it simultaneously [on the two next-generation consoles],' Inafune told Xbox360ism. 'But since we don't know the launch period for the PS3 yet, so it's hard to say [if we can].'"

Wonder how long they will wait? by the+computer+guy+nex · 2005-12-08 07:05 · Score: 1, Troll

The 360 is on the market and the development tools are finalized. The PS3 currently has little to no development tools worth working with on a game of this scale, and the release date is different every time you turn around. How long will they wait?
