Resident Evil 5 is the next addition to the Resident Evil series. The game will be a sequel to the main Resident Evil story, rather than a sequel to the Resident Evil 4 side-story. Resident Evil 5 continues the use of Resident Evil 4’s faster game play in open areas. Enemies will run quickly, as opposed to the slow, stumbling zombies in the early games of the series. The enemies appear to be a cross between the Ganados, parasite controlled humans that will talk to each other featured in Resident Evil 4, and zombies, blood-thirsty but dumb undead featured in the earlier series.
The game’s setting is a hot, desert region. Heat will play a role in your ability to shoot accurately so you will have to find shade. The game should offer more interactive use of the environment.
Resident Evil 5 is expected for worldwide release in 2008.

Gamezine: First day sales of Resident Evil 5 are in from Japan. The game sold four times as much on the PlayStation 3.
According to Ameblo.jp Resident Evil 5 sold 278,000 on its first day in Japan.
What's more incredible is that Resident Evil 5 has beaten launch day sales of Resident Evil 4. The game sold 117,000 copies on the Gamecube in January 2005 and 145,000 copies on the PlayStation 2 in December 2005.

RE5: No shooting while running
TalkPlaystation - July 21, 2008
Submitted by oznerol (1) at 7:31AM PST on July 21, 2008
TalkPlayStation.com writes:"From what we've seen in the trailers and videos from E3, you can't shoot while running in Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 has this same problem and quite a lot of people complained about it. The stop and shoot mechanic is back.
We contacted Capcom regarding this issue and they sent a quick response back"

4@Alpha,
You should never rely on VGC for deciding on whether you should sell or buy simEx stock. There are lots of inaccuracies on VGC, and it can be easily proved.
Let's compare VGC's RE5 PS3 data with other sources :
Japan : VGC have it at 0.74 Million, while Famitsu have it at 509K (Japan Gamecharts is english translation of Famitsu sales #). From Japan alone, we see that VGC overshoot one of Japan official source by 45% (percentage based on official figure)
RE5 is released March 13, 2009 in US. NPD Mar 09 contain first 4 weeks of sales. First 4 weeks of RE5 in US is 709,159 for America, which is equivalent to 616,968.33 for US (87% of America, according to VGC).
NPD actual # is 585,000, which mean VGC overshoot NPD by 5%.
RE5 US April (week 4 - week 8) is 103,399 for America, or 89957.13 for US. Actual NPD # for April 09 is not available officially, but unofficially (leaked) the # is between 70K - 80K. If we use 80K for NPD #, then VGC overshoot NPD # by 10%.
I believe that VGC # for US (and America) overshoot actual # by 5% - 10 %.
An easy way to check whether VGC RE5 # is correct or not is to compare total PS3 & X360 # (3.08M for PS3 + 2.68M for X360= 5.76M total) with Capcom's own RE5 #, 5.3 M. If Capcom only ship 5.3 M unit of RE5 game, how can it have 5.76M sold to customer # ?
Even if we assume that all shipped = sold (which is not true), then VGC # overshoot Capcom # by 8.7%.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

IMO,VGC # for PS3 is 10%- 15% too high compared to actual, while X360 version is 5% too low compared to actual.
