Capcom aims to get your blood for Resident Evil 5

I just have to commend Capcom for thinking up of a great marketing strategy for Resident Evil 5 that actually also helps people. Capcom recently partnered with the American Red Cross to drum up publicity for the hotly anticipated Resident Evil 5, which will be released on March 13. And the campaign? Capcom will fund a blood drive with the help of Red Cross. The Capcom / Resident Evil 5 blood drive will be held at the World of Wonder Gallery located in Hollywood California. The whole day event sounds like fun. People who donate their blood during the event will get a chance to win prizes that includes several Read more »

I wasn’t a big fan of the Resident Evil Franchise even though I got all the RE games on the Playstation and Playstation 2 and even Code:Veronica on the Dreamcast. But Resident Evil 4 really gave me a renewed perspective on the game. And just looking at the footage of the gameplay on Resident Evil 5 has got me thinking this may just be the best RE game yet. With Resident Evil 5′s impending release, more and more information is beginning to trickle in. For example, according to Read more »

Resident Evil 5 Has A Foxy Character

Sheva Alomar in RE5

There was some criticism when Resident Evil 5 was seen earlier in the year – with some even going so far as to suggest that the game featured racism.  In order to counter this argument, Asian and Western zombies were put into towns.  Whatever you might think about this action, I’m sure that you were quite happy with the introduction of a rather tasty looking character to the game – Sheva Alomar.

First Resident Evil 5 Details and Screenshots

Yes ladies and gents, a new Resident Evil game has been announced for PS3 and XBox360 and first details have appeared from the Famitsu magazine: Via GamesAreFun The controls will be based off of Resident Evil 4′s control scheme. Enemies will have much more character and personality. Takeuchi notes Ganado from RE4 as an example. Many of the staff who worked on the original Resident Evil will be making a return to work on this title. Don’t expect this out anytime soon; Takeuchi stated that any project that aims to surpass the standards set by RE4 would more than likely take three to five years to complete. For the full Read more »
