No Resi 5 before April 2008

Latest Capcom financial report indicates Resident Evil 5 won't be out until at least the middle of next year
Capcom's latest financial report has revealed that Resident Evil 5 won't be hitting the shops until at least the middle of next year.

The 360 and PS3 Resi instalment was absent from Capcom's financial year line-up, meaning it won't be ready for release before April 2008. And that's at the earliest.

Instead fans will have to get their zombie fix from Wii offerings Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and the remixed Resident Evil 4.

The news won't come as much of a surprise to fans, as producer Jun Takeuchi told Famitsu last year not to expect the fifth game until 2008.

Apparently Capcom will be relying on sales of Devil May Cry 4, the above mentioned Resis and Mega Man cartoon tie-ins to provide this year's dosh, which is fair enough.

We contacted Capcom's UK op which is currently chasing up Japan for clarification on the report. We'll let you know if it has anything exciting to tell us.

Nooooooooooo damn it , i was looking forward to this game so much. It better be good or heads will roll, and i dont mean dead ones.

I thought it was common knowledge that Resi 5 wouldn't be out until Fall 2008?

Im hoping that the popularty of the Wii will convince Capcom to bring out a Wii version of Resi Evil 5 but I cant wait to play 4 and umbrella chronicles for the wii!

good thing or bad thing ?
bad that we have to wait longer, but good that they will have a good year extra to tart it up.

Educated guess would tell you this.

Bring on umbrella chronicles!

Shame, there's such a long wait for the new Resident Evil. No need to hurry it but still. Sad I'm very forgiving of RE. It's the "A" grade story line (A grade by video game standards) that grabs me. I've even forgiven the oft clumsy controls. Besides that, I can't wait for a continuation of it, as it's an awesome game. In Resi 4 Leon was like Chuck Norris in disguise - nothing could stop him.

Yeah man. It is a shame. And what a great comparison you came up with there.
