According to the leak which we're currently filing under the rumor category, the biggest RE5 feature reveal is that the game will include online enabled campaign co-op all the way through, where a second player will play as a female mercenary who'll be present the entire game. If not player controlled, the game's AI will take over. Other juicy details were mentioned including word that the mercenaries mini-game from RE4 will be back and the addition of a new cover system. As far as a release date goes, Capcom is said to be shooting for a 2009 release that should see RE5 on store shelves between January and March of next year. You can check out the other rumor'ish and spoiler'ish nuggets of RE5 campaign info after the jump.
[Thanks, Boff]

Release date sounds exactly like I'd predicted. That's cool...I'll still be gettin' my fix with Silent Hill and Alone In The Dark..barring that those two are as good as they look, that is.

this game is so watered down its not even funny. the graphics look like a ps1 game. the 360 is holding games back... thats why they are putting bioshock on the ps3.

^ such a tool.
take u'r slow arse Blu-Ray read speed & delayed games back to PS3Fanboy.com
cant believe that u'r actually showing off about getting a 1yr old game finally ported on2 u'r system - it'll probably have a 5GB install & still have a shitty framerate thanks 2 the un-unified RAM XD
XBOX 360 FTW

How is the 360 holding back RE4. Is it not an exclusive? You won't be playing it on yer PoS3 anyway, so get the flock outta here son.

Mmmm, my bad (sticks foot in mouth) I meant RE5 and it seems it is not an exclusive. Ah, hell...shove it anyway dude, you won't be touching Gears anytime soon on yer Sony.
