Western Resi 5 demos unlikely for 2008 News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

27 November, 2008

Capcom has said the West will have to wait longer than 5th December for a demo of Resident Evil 5.

Japan, however, will be given a sampler of the survival-horror game that day, according to the official Capcom blog.

Also, Resident Evil 5 has been shambling along so well in Japan that the release has been pushed forward to 5th March 2009. But again, no such luck in the West, where the date remains Friday 13th March, 2009.

Most of you should by now know that regional PlayStation Network accounts - Japanese, European, American - can be faked. Just put on a funny accent. You can't say that.

Lie about where you live and a Japanese 5th December Resident Evil 5 demo should pose no problems, apart from dialect. But a small price to pay.

Head over to our Resident Evil 5 gamepage to find out why.

Still worth a go! :)

Even if it does need to be Gold, just make a new one, and use the free month's Gold that comes with it, it's pretty quick and easy to do.

"God bless multiple foreign PSN accounts. "

As for the 360 demo, providing someone uploads it to the internet you can just burn it to a dvd and it will play off that. Demos aren't region locked.

Especially if what Duckula said happens. Don't start crying if it does, Capcom.

JUST GIVE US THE JAPANESE DEMO!

I don't care if it's all in Japanese. JUST HAND IT OVER! and indeed, bless the Japanese accounts.

Won't work. It doesn't turn a silver account into a gold account. It just gives certain gold rights, demo's not being one of them.

So let me get this right, you need a gold Jap account to access the demo on XBL or JUST a japan account on PSN, sucks to be an 360 owner on dec 5th IMO......

Most Japanese SKU's (demos/ games) I've played have English in too, so wouldn't worry about this being all in Japanese tbh

Well it's late evening in Japan now,
checked the japanese psn shop and nothing there.
Capcom telling porkys after all, thought it sounded too good to be true!
