Resident Evil 5 — New Character and Gameplay Detail
Erik Johnson writes "New details for Resident Evil 5 have been unveiled in the latest issue of 'Famitsu,' a Japanese video game magazine, including a familiar face returning to the hero role, some info on the enemy, and the revealing of a couple new characters."
I just read the article... and I am astonished just how little content can make up an article. So we have one returning character and two babes, one maybe playable, but we don't know. We have different enemies that are different from the different enemies we had before (and yes, I purposely overused the word "different" here). And we have rumors on how they'll die, decompose, all the while burbling and turning into slime. Could someone please explain to me how this is relevant news concerning a new computer game? No details, no specs, no screenshots, just some Japanese magazine having seen a soon-to-be-released trailer and another newsfeed picking up the story, summarizing ineptly what will become perfectly obvious from watching the trailer which you'll be able to watch soon yourself. And yes, I must be new here and all, but please... wake me up when there's NEWS to be had.
There are no "Ganados" in RE5. They are the villagers in RE4.

Wikipedia says it will be released on xbox 360 and the ps3...so I guess it won't be coming out for the wii.
I think it's a pity, but Nintendo knew where they were getting when they decided to build a console with considerably less hardware power than Microsoft's and Sony's offerings.
I'm not bashing the wii: They are making innovative games and loads of money but it just (obviously) won't be getting the hardcore games that have complex graphics and gameplay being released for the other two consoles.
