Rumorong: Resident Evil 5 hitting simultaneously on PS3, 360
On Wednesday, PlayStation Lifestyle posted up a rumor that Microsoft was supposedly gunning for a timed Xbox 360 exclusive, to be paid for in cash money and announced at E3. Following an understandable uproar on the part of PlayStation fans, Capcom has set the record straight via their official message forums.
In fact, said record-straightening was done by Christian Svensson, Capcom's VP of strategic planning and business development, who wrote: "The assertion is false. RE5 is a multiplatform release that fits with our oft-stated crossplatform strategy." In the same thread, Svensson confirms "for the avoidance of doubt" that the game will be a simultaneous release on both platforms. Thanks for being so quick with the extinguisher on this one, Sven.

Isn't it sad how i have to add "just kidding" or ppl will think i hate Fernando. You're a very polarizing figure, Fernz.
Can i call you Fernz?
This is coming from the official Nintendo Joystiq Fanboy...and well known Sony hater"
Fixed!
Made me giggle.
Let's pretend that both games run the same (as they're supposed to), what features will Live have after PS3's 2.40 that people can say makes it a million times better? I personally can't think of any off the top of my head. Also I read on the 1up boards that apparently a lot of the people playing online games on PS3 are quiet during the game and I cannot stress enough how much I'd like the Live crowd (for the most part) to have their jaws broken. Add in achievements for sad people like myself, and many of my friends slowly buying PS3's as well and I don't see a current reason why I should play multiplatform games on 360 anymore.
Keep in mind I said current because I don't know what future updates the two systems will put out.
My 360 list is full (100 people), whereas on the PS3 side I think I have 6 or 8 people or something since I was always buying multiplat games on the 360 before, so now that everyone I play with normally is on the 360 side, I'll keep going that way for multiplat.
That, and the fact that most (not all of course, but most) bigtime multiplayer games are FPS games and most people heavily prefer the 360 for those...
With in-game XMB though, fighting games will definitely get the call on the PS3 side for me since the PS3 d-pad >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 360 d-pad. Maybe sports games too.
I was just saying, better save money buying a 360 since he probably wouldnt use bluray.

Get help...I recommend Xanax...or Seroquel.
If MS wants to spend money to make it a timed exclusive its within their rights to do so and I as a 360 owner fully support it.
sony can feel absolutely free to do what it wants to do in order to keep a game exclusive or w/e. As long as its legal.
Thats my take on it.

Oh will the Friendfs part of the XMB get remodeled cause the way it is now looks boring basically it looks wack.
Oh yeah and Tmac I think the reason most of the PS3 owners are quiet is because PS3s don't come with headsets.

Seriously, the people crying racism are stupid as hell. You aren't shooting the zombies because they're black, you're shooting the zombies because they're fuckin' zombies.
Really people grow the fuck up. The last four games have been us shooting zombies that were WHITE or HISPANIC. Now they choose a predominately BLACK location that guess what? Has BLACK people in it.
Hence there are BLACK ZOMBIES. Its not racist. Its just a fucking game and its plot.
Seriously the fact that we're even HAVING this discussion is beyond retarded and pisses me the hell off.
I hope this game sells like hotcakes for Capcom. And I'll buy 2 copies to make up for Lord Bowser's ignorance.
