Europe gets Resi 5 demo next year?

Thursday 27-Nov-2008 12:01 PM Capcom confirms PS3 and Xbox 360 trial for the West

Capcom has confirmed that a demo of Resident Evil 5 will indeed be making it way to the West after yesterday’s Japanese reports.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 demo was confirmed by the company for release in Japan on December 5. According to the company’s US blog, the trial will be making it to Europe and North America “a bit later”. We’re probably looking at early 09 then.

“Resident Evil 5 is still on track for the previously-announced Friday the 13th, March 2009, release in both North America and Europe,” says the blog. “Fear not, we will also be seeing demos for both the 360 and PS3 versions of the game, but they will be hitting N. America a bit later than the Japanese demo. Stay tuned, more to come on the demos soon!”

There you are then. Capcom also detailed a Japan-only Collector’s Edition that we want. Those Japanese get everything, gits.

More info on Home from SCEE
Posted by Ves
on Nov.21, 2008 at 12:58 pm

TedTheDog keeps flooding us with info about Home as were nearing the end of the year.

On the official EU Playstation forums you can find a post of the v1.0 Patch notes. Most important in it was that today (21st) over a hundred thousand (100.001 maybe) invites will be send out across the SCEE region. Another patch of invites will follow on the 27th only this batch will be much bigger. Open Beta will follow soon after.

Home will take 3077MB on you HDD so have some space ready (20/40 owners), after entering you will be introduced to a interactive tutorial. There is still a ge limit of 18 and over for the Closed Beta (Open Beta no word on the Open Beta age). The separate language area’s are gone, everybody will be placed in one area, but there will be special language spaces for you mother tongue.
You can still travel to a friend on a EU, NA or Asian server but only to your friends Personal Spaces and/or Clubhouses.

I’m not going to bother you too much with notes just check them out yourself and let us know what you think. And most importantly cross your thumbs for that invite. I’m crossing all 4

@ reakt - i’m cyber-squatting like it’s 1998 i consider the MMM site me drawing a line under the whole deal, my final word on it all, the non-buying public will now do my work for me and let LBP crash out the the charts very shortly.

i did start drawing up some new level designs today, so not all hope is yet gone, jeez, someone has to upload something decent! i do miss my ‘push johnsketch into a firey pit’ section though from one of the lost levels. part 2 if i remember correctly.

@ Sony, WTF! nearly every bus shelter today on the way home was plastered with SingStar ABBA posters!! you’re marketing the PS3 this xmas as a glorified karaoke machine??
