Resident Evil 5 demo crawling onto Marketplace next week
On December 5th Capcom plans to release a demo of the GOTY 2009 in the making called Resident Evil 5. According to the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, the demo will get an early Christmas release. But with every positive there’s always a negative lurking in the shadows. Check after the break for the details.
Don’t get too excited just yet because for the time being the demo has only been confirmed for the Japanese Marketplace. The West will have to wait until 2009 to get a demo, because it is highly unlikely to come our way in December, says Capcom.
With Capcom having such great success on the American and European markets in the last couple of years, we can only hope that they will not let us wait forever to get our hands on this beauty of a demo.
If this new iteration in the series is anything like Resident Evil 4 we should all mark March, Friday the 13th on our calendar because the game will hit the stores on that date. But as always, bad news comes in pairs - the Japanese release date has been pushed forward to March 5 2009, meaning the rest of the world will get its mitts on the game later than first expected. We still have the upper hand though, because Japan is retailing the game for 8,800 yen (approx. $88) which makes the Western market rather cheap in comparison. How do you like them apples, Japan?
Are you counting down the days or have you never heard of Resident Evil? Let us know in the comments as usual.

Left 4 Dead
left 4 dead = nissan micra
Re5 = dodge viper!
Technically shouldn’t Resi Evil have a japanese car and Left4Dead have the american one?
oh and Left4dead is a good game thats out now. Resident Evil ain’t out til march so why don’t you wait until you’ve played both before making a decision which is better instead of the usual “Well the others were good so this one will be to”
People will be bored of Left 4 Dead in a month.
I got bored in a few days. Thank god for rentals.
Left 4 Dead is pretty good but i still think they would do better if they sold it as a budget title but i just see RE and L4D as 2 different titles completely… you cant compare…
It’s like comparing wiiband to rockband2… i mean wiiband may be entertaining but rockband2’s where the real meat is at
Dodge is American
Nissan is japanese
so he got that the right way around.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I wanna play so bad!
I’m gonna have to get some new underwear in for this as I’m gonna get very, very excited…
I’d be excited if i were japanese and i had an xbox 360. So i guess only less than 100 People in the world must feel very excited right now because of this…
funny, I thought bad things came in 3’s ?……..
Bad Thing #3: The zombies have been replaced with wide-eyede over the top magna characters to please the JP marketplace.
I want to see resident evil: history. All resi games in one box including 5. I would so play through them all. Who else here thinks they should make this idea a reality??
They should put Resident Evil on the Arcade at the very least.
good idea
anyone know if the region workarounds still work for these demos?
ill just get it off the jap marketplace then.
man am i the only one that noticed how hot the female character is? i wonder if they used someones face or created her. not that i’ll hunt her down and trap her like a zombie but im just sayin lol
I hear what you’re saying bro…
She may be even hotter than Ada.
Let’s not get carried away with ourselves…
me thinks you guys need some pussy to play with for a while, I mean I’m looking forward to res5 but I’m not pulling myself over it.
Perhaps you need to lighten up…
You might not have realised, but we’re only kidding. Man, some people take things so seriously.
well thank god for that
It’ll be on Playstation Network on the 4th. So while your all waiting I’ll be playing. Good news is you’ll be able to play it eventually, if you waste money on a gold membership. Funny, you have to pay for demos while PS3 owners get them for free……PURE CRAP!
Hey it’s smitty!!! Clearly someone who has so much free time on their hands, that he has to bang on about how great the ps3 is. If it’s so good, why are wasting time on here??? And before you say anything, i’m at work while i type this, so this is a perfect use of my time. we all know that the psn is bland at best and the service is what you would expect for free. PURE CRAP ;o)
Hey Katan13, its good to see that your being a productive member of the work force. Its people like you that are wasting the money of employers and destroying our economy, so thanks for that. As far as the rest of your comments are concerned I think you said it best yourself when you stole my phrase, PURE CRAP!
Dear Walter Smitty,
We don’t have to pay for demos. Demos are free to Gold members and free to Silver members after a week has elapsed.
And we don’t HAVE to pay for XBox Live. We do it gladly because we want to. It is the best online gaming service by far and the subscription is a deterrent to people who aren’t hard core gamers and who simply want to mess about. In these respects, it is leagues ahead of PSN or any other gaming service to date.
If you don’t wish to pay to play with the big boys, then by all means use your inferior PSN, but don’t try to impress anyone on these boards with your unbalanced thought processes and pointless fan boy commentary.
Hey ManoDestra,
Not that I should really waste my time responding to a person who names himself after a lesbian art film, but I just wanted to let you know that I searched through your garbled nonsense of a reply and unfortunately wasn’t able to extract one semblance of reasonable intelligence. Its obvious your so out of touch with reality that you have to chime in on conversations that your sadly just to inept to be making a comment about, but nice try anyways champ. I’m not sure who “Walter Smitty” is, maybe its one of your three dads but for the sake of not making yourself look like anymore of an idiot then you already have, do us all a favor and lock yourself in a basement and masturbate to the cover of Halo 2 until you die.
Hey Shitty.
Here you are again wasting time until there is something worthwile to do with the PS3 apart from use it as the #1 dust magnet that it is.
If you don’t like it thats fine, it means I never have the possibility of ever listening to you squeek your shitty little facts and opinions online and for that I am thankful.
Now why not tie a rope around your neck and masturbate in a Michael Hutchence style and if we are lucky you will go the same we he did.
Wow Glovner, those are some very negative things to say. Telling someone to kill themselves, who talks like that? Obviously you have some pent up anger issues, and I really don’t know why considering I wasn’t fucking talking to you. Maybe your frustrated sexually or perhaps your pissed because of all the money you spent on a machine that’s probably bricked on you ten times already. I don’t know, but it obvious to me that you need to seek some sort of help for your anger issues. Seriously buddy its not healthy to be as angry as you are all the time. Oh and I like how you changed my name to shitty because it rhymes, very clever, I was gonna do one that represents you better to, but faggot doesn’t really rhyme with Glovner all that well.
Fag.
So you are frustrated sexually, that is what your trying to say right? Don’t worry guy there’s lots of young men out there looking for a good time, and I’m sure if you get them drunk enough they wont even mind your face or your breath. Best of luck to you.
Walter Smitty is a reference to the famous film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” starring Danny Kaye where he was a sad deluded individual who spent his entire life in daydreams. Sound familiar? I’m surprised you don’t know it. Oh, I forgot. You’re more into lesbian art films than old classics.
Mano Destra is Italian for right hand by the way. All this education you’re getting here is free, by the way. Just like PSN. They must both be great.
Don’t try swinging fists at intellects greater than your own. Retire to your coffin shaped PS3 while you still can…
Obviously your the one who’s into lesbian art films, considering the fact you chose the name not me. But I’m sure right hand is fitting for you to as that’s the one you no doubt use to masturbate with in your mom and dads basement. PSN is great by the way, but you wouldn’t know that seeing as how you cant afford a PS3 and your obviously very upset about it. As far as your intellect is concerned, I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen a coffin before retard but I’ve certainly never seen one shaped like a PS3, so nice try, but unsurprisingly you failed to be anything remotely close to clever. Now I think its time for you to go take care of yourself with your right hand and stay out of the big boys conversations, you obviously have no place here.
Still a fag.
Well we wouldn’t expect you to be anything else, I mean you keep telling everyone that you are, so why would we think any different.
Touched a nerve there, I think…
You were the one who brought up Ms Cleo Uebelmann, not me. The point I was making Dumbass, was that you can’t assume where people take their references from. Take your time to contemplate your next response. You’re gonna need it with that double figure IQ of yours.
Imagine a PS3 fan boy attempting to troll an XBox site in the first place… the nights must fly by for you…
I like Smitty, he is an endless source of amusement and random facts.
And yet at the same time i do kinda want to fart on his grave.
I like you to Katan13 and at the same time if you where on fire, I wouldn’t piss on you to put you out.
smitty your a cunt, if u hate the 360 so much and love the ps3 so much that u stick yor little dick in the disc slot then why the fuck are u spending your precious time looking at the 360 section of this site?????? get a fucking life
Now now mick, mick the prick, mick the tiny little dick, you make me sick. Does your mom know your talking like that on her computer. By the way, how would you know what a cunt is, considering you’ve never seen one. But maybe just maybe if you drink your milk and eat your vegetables you’ll grow up big a strong and some day the ugly retarded girl from down the block will show you hers. Actually who I’m I kidding, she wouldn’t show a pathetic little turd like you her cunt, your to much of a balled out fag for her to do that. I believe I am done verbally spanking your ass now, I must go, I have more important shit to do.
Can you say, “fag”?
Fag, there I said it. Now that we all know what you are, will there be any more tests? I know, how about we guess the length of your dick, my guess is three inches, and yes I’m being generous. Oh hey, can you say ‘easy fucking target’?
“Whatever you said about me, thats what you are, and since I said it last that means it’s true” says Smitty.
Smitty then proceeds to put his fingers in his ears. and warble at the top of his voice. “La la la la la la I can’t hear you so I must be right, my mum says i’m right and she loves me so nah nah nah nah nah”
Whilst this is happening Smitty has lowered his short shorts and his pampers to his knees, lubes up his flapping wide gayboy’s asshole with spit on his own hand and then sits forcefully on the dildo his mum got her little fag for christmas.
“Ahh, feels good to fill up my ass in a faggy way” muses Smitty.
I like how you did that like a story, a story a fag would write, good story you little fag writer.
By the way its mom not “mum”. Could you please try and speak some proper English as opposed to that monosyllabic garbled gibberish you keep speaking with, I know your lack of a decent education keeps you from using the big words but you’d think you could at least get the little ones right.
Glovner is a total queer who enjoys pleasuring his dad for a dollar, muses Smitty.
Okay then whatever you say is correct so it must be ‘mom’. Typically ignorant.
Fag.
i knew you would reply, guess you have nothing better to do. oh and the ugly retard girl knocked on my door the other day, sadly i turned your mum away
Of course you knew I would reply, you fuckin couldn’t wait for me to, you’ve probably been checking back every hour just to see what I have to say because you love it so much, you find me clever and funny and your very envious of my talent. Its ok to admit it, me dumping on you is the highlight of your day. Don’t worry your not the only one. But mick, hopefully I can call you mick, if your gonna write something stupid like “i knew you would reply, guess you have nothing better to do” you might not want to write that right after you just got done doing the same fucking thing yourself you unbelievable moron. Man I am so tired of bottle feeding babies. Now you go away little boy and don’t come back here until your able to compete. Which will be never.
So I played the demo. Its unreal controls like RE4 but has the inventory system of RE: Outbreak which is kinda odd. But it makes you change on the go since you cannot pause to change items which makes it difficult you use health items when your surrounded by “Ganados”. (I know they’re not Ganados, just dont know another name.) It is very difficult at first but once you get used to the controls its not bad. Also it comes with multiplayer online and offline. You can pretty much write this one down for game of the year. It’s awesome.
ha, this site is funny! Very amusing the lack for censorship or admin duties…I LIKE IT!
BTW, has this demo come out yet; this article was posted a couple of weeks ago…….
i havent seen it on the american market, but score one for the xboxic viewers. i have to agree with everyone on here. i owned a ps2, network sucked small dirty cock. bought a 360 network it fucking amazing, played ps3 and got nothing but lag like on the ps2. and glovner and mano are right, i happily pay for my xbox live because i know im getting a premium service, unlike that of the gaystation network.
