After the financial (but not critical) success of Resident Evil Afterlife, actress Mila Jovovich has said that another Resident Evil movie is “definitely coming”. She said in an interview with New York Magazine, “”This new Resident Evil is the first one to ever open at No. 1 worldwide. It’s the biggest movie in the franchise. So we’re definitely going to make another one”.

Capcom has announced that zombie slasher Resident Evil 5 will be getting a PlayStation Move patch on September 19, so you can hack, slash and realistically kill zombies with your new Move controller. Also, if you play co-op, you’ll be able to do that with Move as well, and if you only have one Move controller, the other person can use a regular controller.

A few months ago the Versus Mode DLC pack was released for Resident Evil 5 which added nothing more than new multiplayer game modes which had players pitting themselves against zombies and eachother. After said DLC was released gamers everywhere whined about how Capcom was charging for a feature that “should have” been included in the original game.

Lucky for them, Xbox Live is cutting the price of the pack to 240 Microsoft Points from 400 Micrsoft Points as their latest Deal of the Week.

Still don’t want to pay for new game modes? Well, that’s up to you.

Resident Evil 5 will be released for the PC on September 14th.

Along with Capcom uncovering the release date for Resident Evil 5, they have also released a benchmark tool to test your NVIDIA 3D performance and experience first hand on how it looks and feels.

If you’re not fortunate enough to have all the gear to run 3D Vision, you can still download the tool and see if your computer is capable of running the game with no problems; the demo runs fine without all the fancy vision kits.

The download clocks in at 581MB and can be downloaded at NZone.

Resident Evil 5 made its console debut over 4 months ago and only now can we put our fingers on a solid date for the game’s PC rendition.

Capcom has officially anounced that the game will be hitting shelves for the PC in North America on September 14th and in Europe on September 18th.

Ripten reports that the PC version will feature an upgraded Mercenaries mode with 3x more enemies along with new customes and higher resolutions. The most interesting part about the PC version, however, is that it will feature support for Nvidia’s 3D video cards.

Resident Evil 5 in 3D? I’m down.

Seeing as Resident Evil 4 was originally a GameCube exclusive, fans can only wonder why Resident Evil 5 still hasn’t been released for Nintendo’s successor console. Graphical limitations aside, the gameplay formula would still work great, pointing to Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition as proof. Speaking to games™ magazine, Capcom Chief Producer Masachika Kawata was asked whether the popular survival horror game would be released for the Wii.

“Hypothetically speaking, the Resident Evil 4 engine would work perfectly for replicating the gameplay but we would never be able to recreate the graphical quality” Kawata explained. “A gun shooting game like Darkside Chronicles makes much more sense for Wii so, in short, Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition isn’t likely to happen.”

With that said, Kawata also mentioned that he was impressed by Cavia’s work on Darkside Chronicles, and said that Resident Evil 5 could be a possibility after all. Even though the game might not look as pretty as it does on the 360 or PS3, it would be interesting to see how the game would play out on the Wii.

Resident Evil 5 was released a little over 2 months ago and recieved generally positive feedback from the critics but we were left in the dark in terms of sales numbers until now — During the Reuters Global Technology Summit held in Tokyo last week Capcom CFO Kazuhiko Abe made a statement that the game has sold around 4.9 million copies since its March 13th release date.

About 4.4 million, Abe says, were sold during the game’s release month with the additional ~500,00 being sold in April. Despite being a rather huge drop in sales Capcom apparently expected it saying they only plan to sell another ~500,000 copies through March 31st, 2010.

Kotaku notes the fact that games with a “hardcore, existing audience” such as Resident Evil 5 sell well in their first few months but once all said hardcore fans actually purchase it sales drop dramatic amounts. Now I’m just hoping to see Resident Evil 5 for like $20 at Gamestop, then I’ll be happy.

As one can expect from Capcom these days, the PC versions of Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4 and Bionic Commando are all on their way, with the latter two due out this July. All three will be sold both via retail and online digital distribution.

Also, all games have been optimized for PC and will have new features. Here’s the big deal:

Street Fighter IV
The PC version of Street Fighter IV will feature online play, higher screen resolutions and three new shaders based on three of the "artistic" trailers released in 2008 that will change the visual appearance of the game: "watercolor," "posterization" and "sumi-e ink" styles.

Bionic Commando
The PC version of Bionic Commando will support higher resolutions than the console version, remappable controls including mouse and keyboard support, support for both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 and online connectivity for multiplayer sessions.

Resident Evil 5
The PC version of Resident Evil 5 will feature online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology (wireless 3D Vision glasses sold separately).

Sounds boring, but sign me up for some Resident Evil action on my trusty ol’ computer.

As you can see from the above picture, these things are not your run of the mill action figures. In fact, they come to us from Hong Kong based toy maker Hot Toys who, Kotaku is reporting, specializes in highly detailed action figures.

Only two Resident Evil 5 characters made the cut the first time around, Chris and Sheva, who both come with clothes, accesories and enough weaponry to deal with the zombie onslaught.

There’s no word if these will be released Stateside but I’m sure if you do enough searching you can get these suckers imported.
