Resi 5 demo coming to PS3 next month News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Capcom has confirmed the PS3 is getting a Resident Evil 5 demo after all - over a week later than it appears on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Levels Assembly Place and Shanty Town are included, and can be played alone with a computer-brain companion or with a friend in split-screen or PSN co-op.
The demo will be available on PSN from 2nd February. The full game, remember, comes out here on Friday 13th March.
The news comes as Capcom shows an extended Resident Evil 5 CGI trailer that was chopped down for the Tokyo Game Show late last year.
Did you know that Resident Evil 5 is your, our readers', third most wanted game of 2009? Only SOCOM: Confrontation and Killzone 2 have more fans.
And we're also looking forward to the game, as our Coming Attractions: Shooters & Racing roundup will point out later today.
Until then, head over to our Resident Evil 5 gamepage for much more information.

Just started playing Res 4 again on the GCube, bit of a come down after playing the 360 for so long, graphics wise. Res 5 looks like it could be the best of the series so far, and 360 will be the best version.

And you base that claim on... What exactly? |

@aidey6: So is trophies the reason why SSF2THDR is delayed for so long over here?? That sucks...

The videos of the PS3 version during development were clearly inferior (highly variable framerates for one), but I'm sure they've got it likem ost games, where the difference is nearly nothing. Nearly.
As for the original article kj66246 , it's linked to in this very article, but for ease of finding here it is. And it's still wrong. |

What the hell are you talking about, you irritating little shit. Go crawl back under your bridge, it's too early for your weak but annoying brand of trolling. Edit: If you are going to come here and smack talk then at least learn to spell, and I do so hate conversing with people who are too lazy to do even basic research.

theindustrialone, I bet it's really our 1st Most Wanted Game. The old style EG showed how many people wanted it, and you could work it out. Not anymore, but I'd be willing to bet EG is wrong a second time.
EDIT: Found it! Combined Resident Evil 5 Most Wanted = 574 Current No 1 (SOCOM) = 541 So indeed, another incorrect article. Shameful.

Just uninstall DMC4 and Lost Planet then or is that troublesome. I install the games i currently play but unistall them when im done. No problem on the 360. Is it any different on the PS3? |

Rash, I have no doubt Resi 5 will be awesome on either console, indeed recnet videos suggest fantastic performance from either console.
As for uninstalling games, I have already uninstalled everything I don't play, but I play plenty of downloadable games and games with hefty patches and DLC. I just don't have the room. I could upgrade my hard drive, but can't be bothered. I'd rather just buy it on 360 anyway, since most of my potential co-op friends will be on that. More to the point, with no opinion on my part, why isn't this article fixed yet? Yes, I will go on about it like I did last time. It is the First Most Wanted Game of 2009. First. First! /foams at mouth |

Well... it's not news, but I'm still looking forward to it... after the Super Turbo debacle, a week is nothing to us PS3 owners.... well not me, I've been playing the US version since November... but for you guys!!
And the PS3 version will for all intents and purposes be exactly the same as the 360 version, except with possibly shorter loading times, and a mandatory install!!

Wow, comments thread halved when I logged in. Lots of 360 trolls here then.
It is really worth upgrading your HDD though. It doesn't take long to back up, slap in a 500GB drive and restore. Be done in a couple of hours. I went from 250GB (with 120GB used) and the backup/restore was very quick. Definitely getting this on PS3, just because of a more co-op friendly friends list. |

"I hope it has a PS3 install. I much prefer them to longer loading times."
Of course if you got it on the 360, it'll load fast without the need for an install. ;) |

It'd be nice if it had an optional install. I like being able to install games if I like on 360, or install some games like Dynasty Warriors 6 on PS3 & possibly Genji (might be my faulty memory there). I prefer waiting the extra seconds, but I appreciate there are games out there that an extra wait would destroy the flow of the game.

trying to find positive news on anything with playstation 3 that doesnt include some form of quote or fact or info that the xbox has beat it in some way is about as possible as the jews and muslims in the middle east having a massive " lets forget the past " party.
its saddening that well .... you say PS3 TO GET THE RESI 5 DEMO NEXT MONTH then ruin it with " but xbox get it monday..." ahh EG i know your stating facts but there must be some form of news thats positive to us ps gamers.... i mean your last articale on the sony brand was .... like watching a small child getting kicked in the face knowing his has 1 arm and no legs. |

Article is still wrong. They can even copy and paste the following:
Did you know that Resident Evil 5 is your, our readers', first most wanted game of 2009? Not even SOCOM: Confrontation and Killzone 2 have more fans. Because last time I checked, 574 is a higher number of people than 541. Edit article, copy/paste. Easy. |

So the 360 gets it a week earlier, does it really matter? I don't care, sure it'd be cool, to try it on monday, but I'd hardly call waiting an extra week a nail in PS3's coffin... I think that article yesterday blew things out of proportion, because as a PS3 owner, if the worst thing I have to deal with is waiting an extra week for a demo, buying the US SSF2THDR, and mandatory installs, then I'm really not in the slightest bit bothered. And lets be honest here, is there any proof that the 360 version will be noticably (if at all) superior?
I'll buy Resi 5 on the same day as 360 owners, and I'll enjoy it just as much as them, and while playing it, Sony's market position won't in any way interfere with my enjoyment of the game.

You're so 'not bothered' that you decided to write 2 paragraphs on the subject? |

"So you are playing the game 10 minutes earlier than any PS3 owner."
Nah, I'll be installing it too. ;) "What an amazing hero you are." /flex |

Doctor_What, seeing as most multiplatform games are superior on xbox360, I'm guessing he's basing it on, you know, facts.
