Resident Evil 5 will NOT be at the Leipzig Games Convention

[A-J]

Atleast this is what the Capcom German branch seems to be saying.

"The German branch of Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 5 will not be present at the Leipzig Games Convention, due to the law on violent video games in the country."

And i was really looking forward to see the new trailer

ALSO capcom mentioned that they will show some new stuff at the same time with GC 08 ...

Somehow I saw this one coming. Germany is pretty strict with their laws.

[Handsome Rob]

Me too, but I feel that german laws sounds like an excuse. I think they want to keep focus on the development rather than in public since a month ago they've released a lot of info and videos. Is not bad at all for me....

Though, when is it going to be the upcoming game show?

Dot already posted this news?

The new trailer was never due for Leipzig, it's being shown online around the time of the event.

at least we are gonna get a trailer!!!

Capcom trailers from this gen have been the best from any developer. The last trailer was amazing with lots of gameplay which they have done for the last two trailers I wonder if they will try something diffrent with this one? I've only just gotten back into gaming the last few years...did they show RE4 this much this early?

Sure, it'll be Chris running through flowery fields with the Care Bears, because germany prohibits anything remotely violent...
The plan was to have Chris running through flowery fields with the Thundercats but im sure the story of their escape from the impending destruction of their planet along with their eternal struggle with the oppressive mumrah brought back too many bad memories

The trailer will be released online, not AT Leipzig, so the Germans and their censorship laws will count for nothing.

For me any new news is good news, jeje

That's no excusion. Our politicians mean
Killer-Games are as bad as
child-porns. Think about that!

I have already known this before this news
came out. Maybe the Games Convention
is big and very interesting but also definitely
in the wrong country. If it needs to be
a german speaking city they should take
Wien/Vienna. Austria doesn't hunt us player
and we could see every game we want.
