It appears that the evolution of the Resident Evil series is not stopping with next-gen graphics and a spunky co-op sidekick. According to the Australian Official PlayStation Magazine set to go on sale October 8th, Resident Evil fans will finally get the opportunity to battle through hordes of crazed villagers using an optional new control scheme. The secondary scheme will be similar to Gears of War, presumably giving the former STARS team member, Chris Redfield, the ability to strafe and fire while moving. It’s nice to see Capcom address one of the primary criticisms leveled by game fans and journalists against the next edition in the extremely popular Resident Evil series. Resident Evil 5 is scheduled to be released sometime next year.

Gazing into a crystal ball, Capcom expects Resident Evil 5 to sell 2.3 million units worldwide by the end of its first year on sale. It’s often easy to forget how big a number one million is, but even taking that into account, 2.3 million sounds somewhat small for a series as popular as Resident Evil.
Combining sales of Resi 4 on the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Wii, it has sold over 4.8 million units worldwide, and if Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition was able to sell over 1....

Capcom has dismissed rumours originating from Electronic Gaming Monthly that its upcoming horror, Resident Evil 5, will be released by October this year. Many retailers think it’s unlikely the game will be out around the same time as Gears Of War 2, which could block out everything else in its wake.
We’d like to point out that Capcom’s impressive financial results for the fiscal year thus far indicate a late 2008 release for Resi 5, though now this looks doubtful, and we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed that early 2009 is the absolute latest!
