i want a NEW RE game (preferably RE:5, i don't care if they may need to down grade the graphics cuz of what they've shown on the PS3, blah blah blah)
There's a chance Sony has secured Resi 5 as a PS3 exclusive, so looks like many are going to miss out on the game!

Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) has released its latest issue over in America, the October 2006 edition. Its popular rumour column offers some interesting speculation as usual.

 

On the Nintendo front, it is being said that Wii Sports will include over 30 games - a far leap from the 3 we have seen on display up until now. Square-Enix may be ploughing even more onto DS with the announcement of a Final Fantasy XIII spin-off strategy RPG on the system, and a sequel to Rez may be appearing on either Playstation 3 or...Wii!

 

Moving on to other companies, Sony are one of the main subjects of the talk this month. It is thought that a few major third parties will be dropping PSP support, likely as a result of DS' handheld market grip growing. On the positive side for Sony, they may have 'persuaded' Capcom to create Resident Evil 5 exclusively for Playstation 3 - as well as a sequel to Xbox 360 title Dead Rising. On the note of Capcom, Street Fighter IV is rumoured to be released in 2007.

 

Finally, it is said that EA are developing a survival horror title for next generation consoles, though there have been no specifics mentioned.

Biohazard Wii indepth

Extensive information on the gameplay and content of RE:Wii has surfaced.

 

-The game consists of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village (plus surrounding areas).

-Each chapter has 2 characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.

-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.

-The gameplay of all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.

-The game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.

-All characters will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.

-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.

-Just like in RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.

-You will be able to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel robots.

-Similar to Devil May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.

-Arcade Mode is like a giant Mercenaries minigame, where you pick a character and stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.

-Scenario mode will feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.

-New content not in the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the rest of the series.

-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.

-Trailer coming at TGS.
