it does make sense, they are not even planing to show it on e3... probably it' ll hit stores on Sept//oct/nov 2008, the sweet spot for most killer games .

oh yes and then there is Holy March

UPDATE: Translation woes have reared their head, as the next period may not actually mean by the end of Capcom' s next fiscal year. Chris Kohler of Game|Life took a look at the original Japanese release, and concluded Capcom' s head could simply be promising Resident Evil 5 is coming...someday. Maybe before March 2008, maybe not. Maybe never! At this point, waiting seems the best option.

ORIGINAL STORY: We haven' t heard anything about Resident Evil 5 since Capcom originally announced the game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Who knows if the company will take the wraps off their zombie sequel during E3 next month, but while prefacing Capcom' s financial results for their 2006 fiscal year, president and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto may have dropped a hint about the release date:

" In order to make Capcom more competitive, we will focus on further strengthening development of our core home video games business, marketing efforts and sales efforts. We plan to create a title portfolio that accurately reflects the global market share, as well as strengthen our R&D organization and staff. Our title lineup includes many new titles in our existing franchises over the next period, including ' Resident Evil 5' ."

That tells us pretty much nothing -- except Capcom' s aiming to release Resident Evil 5 before the end of their next fiscal year, ending March 31, 2008. This jives with Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi' s comments last December that Resident Evil 5 wouldn' t arrive until sometime in 2008. Resident Evil 4 arrived in a similar early-in-the-year timeframe, so Capcom' s timing wouldn' t be anything new.

Contradictory evidence, however, is found within Capcom' s own financial presentation, where they refrained from even mentioning Resident Evil 5 in their release schedule for fiscal 2007.

Hell, NeoGAF have got it down for March 2009 because of all this dumbass speculation.

Jun Takeuchi said in DECEMBER that it wouldn' t be released before 2008. This isn' t exactly news and a 2007 relase date has been off the table for what, six months already...

They might just be playing the biggest game of bull$h1t-bingo I have ever seen.

Resident Evil is going to be a while, & I' m not exactly bothered. In the meantime, fans are going to have 4 (agagin) and Umbrella Chronicles which seems to be shaping up quite nicely.

No dude, it' s not you. People are discussing this on load of sites, and not just on forums. 1up have a " news" piece on it. People are so starved for gaming related news ahead of the remodeled E3 that a short and on-specific sentance in Capcoms financial report can cause such a stir, made even more ridiculous because we have already been told it' ll be released in 2008...

It is however aproaching the time we' d start seeing more media for the game if it' s on track for March/April 08. A new trailer at E3 or more likely TGS is a possibility.

TGS & Liepzig are going to become the " new" E3 as far as I' m concerned. E3 has become a decent opportunity to set a date for some awesome game videos, but most of the hype I had last year is gone.
