A Nintendo Revolution version has not been officially announced despite Capcom's exclusivity deal with Nintendo with the previous Resident Evil titles. Capcom has, however, announced that they will be making a separate game for the Revolution that will utilize the Revolution's hardware capabilities and unique controller.
No official release date has been announced. In an interview with executive producer Keiji Inafune published in the Japanese publication Xbox 360ism states that both versions of the game will be released simultaneously if possible, depending on the launch date of the PlayStation 3. The game will have online features that have yet to be disclosed.

even playing through my 4th or 5th time, I find the normal game starting with normal weapons is very balanced. Starting with the typewriter or rocket launcher is too easy and playing in professional is too aggrevating...but the normal game is perfect.
One thing this game desperately needed: Remember the old Tomb Raider games how Lara had a roll move that would pop her up facing the other direction? Something like that would have helped Leon quite a bit...at least with my style of play. I like to keep some distance between myself and the enemies, and it's tough to do when it takes you 10 seconds to turn around.

In the downstairs room (I think I'm thinking of the right place) I just tuck back in one of the corners with the pressure plates and let em come.
I never really had any trouble covering Ashley...just snipe away. As long as your rifle is upgraded, one shot should do anywhere on the body. Then switch to the shotgun and take out anybody who comes after you.
Agree about the village. Heck, even my first time through, it only took 2-3 tries to get through...just hate those hatchet throwers.

RE: The weapons discussion we had on the last page
Just went through professional mode again, using the weapons you preferred, and I did like them quite a bit.
Red9 wasn't bad at all. It's a little slower, and takes up more room in the inventory, but it did seem quite a bit more powerful than the Blacktail. Got a lot more "head-pops" with it, too, which is always satisfying. Plus, it's Han Solo's gun, so, come on, that's the coolest part about it.
Striker was alright, I guess. I didn't think it was really any better or worse than the Riot Gun, just different.
Broken Butterfly - Alright, I see what you were talking about. Good stuff. And it's free, which is great. And, it's got the coolest reloading animation in the whole game.

RE5 will be on PS3 and 360, and will take place during the day in a desert. Lots of wide-open areas. Should be interesting.

It's not cheap to get the butterfly upgraded, but firepower of 50 is no joke...especially useful in professional mode.I get where you're coming from on the striker. It is just different. It probably has more to do with my playing style than anything. I let em get real close and then push em back with the wide spread of the stiker.
For me, the story on the red9 is the same as the butterfly...ammo is limited, so I do my best to maximize how powerful it is. For what it's worth, I've changed my mind about the stock too. The red9 is smooooth with the stock...well worth the 3 inventory spaces.
Glad you gave em a shot!

guess i should read instructions...
i still don't find it terribly intuitive, like a button would be, but it works like a charm. heaven knows how i've made it through the game so many times!

Wow, how did you cope. I don't know how you did it. I don't think there is any way I could go back to playing RE without the 180 turn. When did they put it in, 2 or 3? This must be your first RE game huh?

Probably never would have given RE4 a chance if it weren't for this forum.
For some reason I just don't seem to get sick of this game...it sort of reminds me of the first Syphon Filter that way...feels very similar too.

I really like the Chicago Typewriter but it also makes me more lazy and ruins the balance I had between all my weapons. Now I try and use a different weapon and just give up and mow them down with the typewriter. Still fun just wrecks the balance I had with all the weapons.
