RUMOR: Industry Rumblings Regarding Resident Evil 5
By now, you may have heard about the “Major RE5 Reveal at E3″ that Videogaming247 is reporting.
Some more information has made its way to PlayStationLifeStyle.net…
Whether or not this information is true is unknown. However we felt it is our duty to give fans a heads up on a HUGE announcement that MAY be coming @ E3.
Please take this as a rumor as that’s all it is at this point. No solid information on the subject yet.
From what I have been told, Microsoft is looking to pay Capcom an undisclosed amount, for timed exclusivity of Resident Evil 5. It is still not known if Capcom has accepted the offer… The information we got, was only that Microsoft has made the offer.
If this is going to be announced it will be @ E3. Similar to the GTAIV “showing of the tattoo” a couple of years ago.
If this is true, all of you petition fanatics out there better get to work.
Remember this is just a rumor, and nothing is known for sure at this time.
Personally I am hoping that this is NOT true.

In the newest issue of a German game magazine called Games Aktuell there is an interview with a guy from Capcom. He says Capcom ‘hopes’ to release both versions at the same time. He also says the Xbox 360 is much easier to handle.
We will see…

The rumor has been debunked by a Capcom employee:

See post 15 by “Sven”, he works for Capcom.
If they are having problems with the PS3 version and can’t release at the same time, that’s fine.
If they accept the bribe from Microsoft for a timed exclusive, I’ll boycott the PS3 version of the game.

Looks like Sven(Capcom) kind of dodged the real question at hand dealing with this rumor. Someone has asked about day and date as he really never said anything about that or the Microsoft offer. Let’s see if he answers those new questions.

He has only confirmed that its a multi-platform title, but nothing about the timed-exclusive.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
Also wouldn’t take the forum post from a Capcom employee with too much weight. After all we had Take2 forum admins saying PS3 Bioshock wasn’t happening so stop talking about it already.

Still fails to answer the question of Microsoft making an offer to Capcom Japan. Seems to suggest he really does not know at all. If Microsoft made an offer recently to Capcom Japan Executives he probably has no idea in the first place.

I would be happy. It’s about time Microsoft got a little exclusivity with Resident Evil. Considering that this is the FIRST RE game to come out even on the 360 at all, you guys are throwing a huge fit over such a tiny set back.
Go Microsoft. It’s about time you got in on this deal a little!
I hope its multiplatform, its just pointless to have exclusives to just one system. It doenst make sense buisness wise to only have it for one system that there basically only gonna make 30% of what they would of got if they put it on wii, 360, 3 (resident evil any computer would suck).
