[RE-Hiro]

i think you're right!! RE has a lot of videogames, action figures, official posters, official books, comics, magazines, accesories (chainsaw controller, etc), movies, even has a zippo, TCG and a few atracctions in Japanese theme parks!!!!! and just mentioning the officials!!!!

[Gradon]

Not to mention soundtracks, figures, clocks, wallets, plushys, all sorts; I think it's the biggest here, but maybe no Japan.

[RE-Hiro]

but in japan they have things that doesn´t make it to america or other countries!! like the special edition Umbrella Briefcase; etc.

[Gradon]

Hmm, you do make some sence, but there are alot of Square merchandise there too...I'm confused, so meh.

[RE-Hiro]

you get confused easily, hahaha XD the thing is RE is really really big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baiohazãdo]

If you search Japanese auction sites for Biohazard items you`ll be amazed at what you find. There were many metal keys, figures, weapons included in magazines. Not to mention all Airsoft Guns, it`s not like final fantasy, mgs or gran turismo have such items.

[RE-Hiro]

anyway , RE it's the greatest game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as what Chris Kramer said goes, check out Christian Svensson's post on the Capcom boards:

I think what Chris was trying to explain was that you will see a lot more material on RE5 this year (and you will), not necessarily that it's coming out in 2008. As for when in 2008 you'll learn more? Logic would dictate it will be around our media events (we have one scheduled toward the end of the 1H of the year but I won't say exactly when) or other trade functions (e.g. E3, Liepzig, TGS).

As for Surfer Girl's predictions, I predict you're setting yourself up for great disappointment if you listen to her (I mean him).

Who would have guessed it?

[Archelon]

Not sure if this is really newsworthy, but Gametrailers.com has posted their Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2008 list, and #1 is RE5, despite the fact that it's not coming out this year.

I find it funny that everyone but resident evil fans are saying RE5 will be out in '08 [/irony]

[Krispy]

When a dev member says it won't be, I wouldn't really give it a second thought. Plus they put StarCraft 2 on that list which has absolutely no release date confirmed. Hardly a tell tale sign.

PC gamer had it as one of the upcoming zombie games for '08

[Mr_Zombie]

Because no one knows for sure when the game will be released and lots of people expect it to be released in 2008. But unless Capcom announce otherwise, acording to Jun Takeuchi the game will be released around 2009/2010.
