The game officially came out in Hong Kong and Japan yesterday (or two days ago?), and I'm wondering if I should buy it. Know any other zombie games that are coming out that I should get instead, and when do you think RE5 will come out for the PC/PS3, because I only see Xbox 360 RE5 ads around the city here.

Wikipedia: "Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is the fifth installment in the Resident Evil survival horror video game series for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."
No mention of PC but I've heard rumour it'll be coming. Personally I thought the demo was pretty crap but if you like that kind of game and likied 4 then you'll probably like 5. If you've got a 360, the demo should be on the marketplace. Presumably there's one on the PSN as well

I know the PS3 demo and stuff, but I don't see the game itself. I only see the 360 versions on the shelf.

i have pre ordered RE5 for ps3 :) i'll get it next week

GOGOGO YOU LUCKY KID! Many people, such as myself, would give a leg (need arm for playing vidya lulz) to get RE5 a week early.
If you squander this opportunity I will rage harder than a grammar nazi looking through your posts.

Urb4nZ0mb13, would you please shut up?

It will be released on PC (some online stores even have it for pre-order)

You never know, Dead Rising never came to PC and it was developed on the PC first and foremost. Although that could just be due to the whole lawsuit thing. Concerning RE5, as long as long as a game uses MT Framework (LOVELY engine) and no one participates in any shady deals, I'd say it has a fair chance.
Now if only Capcom would get their asses on the Steam train. >_<
I'm done trolling Mikey for tonight, damned Benadryl...

It's always the Benadryl isn't it? Why don't you try huffing spray paint?

Whatever it is, RE 5 seems to me not an "horror" zombie game anymore. It's a damn action game, and there are no zombies hanging around in the series since RE 3....
And I bet it RE 5 will be out on the PC within the next two years, because Capcom is a strong supporter of the PC Gaming Alliance and because on PC there is already any other RE game (RE 1,2,3,4).

Yeah it is more of a shoot-em-up game than a horror one. Nevertheless it is still a good game.

Same here, but that's like waiting for Halo 3 for the PC. It'll come one day...

I think I've expressed my views thoroughly already when the demo was released on the PSN. I thought RE4 was pretty mediocre and RE5 seems to have fixed many of the irks, but it's still an unusual game. It's not even close to being a horror game anymore if it wasn't for the zombies, but as an action game it feels very neutered by imposing artificial limitations on the player. But it just looks so pretty and the coop makes it fun to play with another person. So I'll still have fun with it even if it's a flawed game.
